New Release - WHISPERING HILLS - March 2012

I'm so excited to tell you that I'm releasing my YA Paranormal Romance, Whispering Hills, March 19th. The release tour is scheduled for March 12 to April 12. Whispering Hills will be featured on numerous blogs throughout the the month-long tour, where you'll find reviews, interviews, guest posts and GIVEAWAYS! Click on the tour banner at the top of my blog to see the tour schedule. A HUGE thank you to the fabulously awesome-sauce, Heather, from SupaGurl books for hosting the tour. Not only did she organize the tour and create the amazing tour banner, she helped create the cover. I couldn't be more in love with this cover. So, thanks girly, for everything! Also, thank you to all of the participating bloggers. This tour is going to be so much fun! <3

Description:

For as long as she can remember, 17-year-old Alexis Forbes can hear the thoughts of others. Most recently, she is disturbed by the dark, unfamiliar voice of a frightening killer: callous, cunning, charismatic…and dead. She hears his every sinister thought. But she can’t tell anyone. No one would believe her. Alexis is suddenly being haunted by a terrifying past she doesn’t remember, and a ghost with a serious score to settle. Even Chance, the gorgeous new guy she’s falling for, has his own ghostly secret. He’s definitely not like any guy she’s ever met. Alexis soon discovers she has a connection to the dead and it runs much deeper than she could ever imagine. And if the sociopathic entity has his way, she’ll finally be sentenced to the fate she escaped thirteen years ago.

   

Whispering Hills will be available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords on March 19th. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved writing it. Happy Reading !! :)

All the best,

Taryn

She's the Seeker. He's the hunted. What's at stake could kill them both...

For 17-year-old Seeker, Janie Grey, ridding the Baltimore streets of the undead is an inherited duty passed down from her Cherokee ancestors. Seeker Training Lesson #1: Never trust the undead. After her father’s tragic death, Janie creates her own life lesson: Love isn’t worth the risk. Both lessons are easy to follow until she encounters the flawed Kai Sterdam. At first, she believes he is the hybrid she is trained to hunt. But, when he has human traits, she determines she doesn’t know what he is. As Janie’s intrigue over who Kai is pushes her deeper into his mysterious past, she discovers a shocking truth that is even more harrowing than the evil they are up against. It’s a secret Kai wants to keep hidden, especially from Janie.

The WINNER of a SIGNED copy of DARK SEEKER & 2 SIGNED jumbo bookmarks is...

The Many Formats of Reading

I'm reading 3 books right now...yes, 3. This is what happens when you read hard copies, have a Kindle, and of course, a CD player in your car to listen to audiobooks -- and let me tell you, they have a great selection of audiobooks at the library. The next thing I'll be doing is listening to and reading books on my iPhone. Nope, I'm limiting myself to 3. There are only so many characters and story lines I can keep track of at one time.

The wonderful Heather Robbins from SupaGurl Books sent me a personalized copy of Clockwork Prince, #2 in the Infernal Devices. Thanks, love *sends hugs your way*! I am over halfway done and LOVING this book. I find I read this at night before I go to bed. I like to snuggle into bed and open it up in the complete quiet. This is why I'm not finished already, lol. The chapters are long so I only get a chapter or 2 in before I fall asleep. I do fall asleep very happy though. Awesome book!

On my Kindle I am reading Descended by Blood, which is also a great read. My Kindle says I'm about 50% finished. I bring my Kindle everywhere, so I love to pull it out while I'm waiting for appointments, etc. or downstairs hanging out with the family. My Kindle is always with me.

Last but not least, I am listening to Wolfsbane on audiobook. I'm at the very end of Wolfsbane and can't wait to see how it ends. I listened to it on a trip this weekend and of course I pulled into my driveway at the very end. Now I wish I'd just sat in the driveway and finished. I NEED to know what happens...

Oh yeah, and did I mention I am also working on Dark Return, due out at the end of this year. I'm so excited about Book #2 in the Seeker Series. 

Do you find that with more options for reading (electronic, hard copy, audio) that you are reading a lot more books at the same time? If so, how do you feel about it. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Cheers!! :)
