So, I have been a little heartsick of late making me be a little more prone to migraines which is actually being sick.

Look what I have! Advance copies of This Fallen Prey, book 3 in my Rockton series. The book comes out in February but I have ARCs now, which I’ll start giving away today. You can also win one of 10 from my publisher, over on Goodreads.
The Goodreads contest is U.S. only (it’s my US publisher) so my contest will be not-US, which seems perfectly fair ☺
If you’re in the US, go enter on Goodreads: (https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/…/257251-this-fallen-prey)
If you’re outside the US, enter mine here. I’ll give away one copy. No skill-testing question for this. I’ll make mine as easy as theirs. To enter mine, just comment below and tell me which country you live in. We’ll make a random draw of all non-US entries left by midnight Thursday.
You’ll find a synopsis for This Fallen Prey below. Chapter one is here: http://www.kelleyarmstrong.com/PDFs/This-Fallen-Prey-ch1.pdf I’ll get a longer excerpt up next month (remind me if I forget!)
***
When Casey first arrived at the off-the-grid town, an isolated community built as a haven for people running from their pasts, she had no idea what to expect, with no cell phones, no internet, no mail, and no way of getting in or out without the town council’s approval. But the very last thing she expected was for the council to drop a dangerous criminal into their midst without a plan to keep him imprisoned and to keep others safe.
Of course Oliver Brady claims he’s being set up. But the longer Brady stays in town, the more things start to go wrong. When evidence comes to light that someone inside Rockton might be working as his accomplice, helping him to escape, Casey races to figure out who exactly Brady is and what crimes he’s truly responsible for committing.
A Very Very Important Book Birthday….
So, I am currently doing my happy dance! Shiloh Walker’s alter ego JC Daniel’s released the sixth book in the Kit Colbana Files Haunted Blade!
This should be a cause for celebration far and wide as Kit continues to be an amazing heroine and keep everyone in line…

The only downside is that this means the wait for Kit Colbana book 7 begins today… But at least we have something new to add to our favorite books list…
[Top]Opening quotes for an ARC I am reading
So, I am super excited to have a sort of ARC of Haunted Blade by J. C. Daniels… And it starts off with some Quotes that resonate with me….
Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” – Scott Adams
Kit Colbana – “I guess the same could be said for acts of revenge, stupidity, carelessness…every act has consequences.”
And from later in the book, “Marie leaned forward. “Family isn’t always what you’re born to. Sometimes, you have to find your own, and claim it.””
[Top]Some Quotes from Recent Reads, reviews may be forthcoming or may be not…
“It was difficult to believe that less than six hours ago, I’d been laughing and happy, and feeling like the world was finally starting to go my way. That would show me not to relax. It was just an invitation for life to kick me in the teeth as hard as it could” October Daye The Brightest Fell Seanan Mcguire
It’s understandable to a point, their loss, so great, so unimaginable. No one should have to bury a child. No one should bear that burden. And yet…people do. All the time. Children die, incrementally, all the time, whether their hearts stop or their babysitter decides to teach them the birds and the bees or their parents do drugs and beat them. They all die, little pieces falling off them as they age. Some go in the ground; others, the ones who are still breathing, are stripped of their inner joy. It is inevitable. It is life. Even if they make it out of their adolescence, especially then, the sparks that flame them into individuality are extinguished. Is it better to be a walking corpse, a shroud of who you could be, or leave this world before the disappointment of your lack of potential emerges? Philosophy. Such a devious monster. J.T. Ellison Lie to Me
His heart turned over. It hurt. Hearts didn’t hurt because you loved someone too much, did they? Because his did. It was a physical pain and he rubbed his palm over his chest to ease the ache. There was no easing it, not when she was looking up at him and he knew all that beauty was his. Inside, where it counted, she was everything a man could ask for. Christine Feehan, Dark Legacy
Some Quotes to make you think
“Earth Mother is nurturing and sustains us all, yes. But she’s also the force of the hurricane, the devastation of the earthquake” Yasmine Galenorn, Fury Awakened
