99 cent promotion for NIGHTFALL TILL DAYBREAK

The second book in my Kingdom of the East Angles series NIGHTFALL TILL DAYBREAK (Book #2: The Kingdom of the East Angles) is currently enrolled in a Kindle Countdown deal from 1-8 December 2016 (US and UK customers only).

NIGHTFALL TILL DAYBREAK was a quarter finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Award 2014 - Romance Category. Although its second in a series that follows the reign of three East Anglian kings, this novel can also be read as a standalone romance.

Here's what a PUBLISHERS WEEKLY reviewer had to say about the novel:

Historical romance takes on a new dimension in this novel set in a different period, the early 600s A.D. Young Freya enjoys her life of isolation deep in the woods of Britannia with her mother -- until they are both summoned to the side of the usurper king. Taken hostage, Freya must navigate her new life as a young woman thrust into the role of slave, first to the pretender to the throne, and then to the rightful heir, King Sigeberht. Along the journey, she encounters Aiden, commander of Sigeberht's armies and incorrigible flirt. The pair grow alongside each other as significant changes impact their lives, drawing them to each other and away from those they love, and deeper into the territorial and religious wars plaguing the land. Filled with stark, compelling details about the atrocities of battle, the masterful storytelling flows naturally from one scene to the next. History comes alive in each breathtaking detail for a fully immersive experience. Character development is excellent and the author brings them to life on the page.

Nervously awaiting the semi-final ABNA results for NIGHTFALL TILL DAYBREAK

Still waiting to find out if NIGHTFALL TILL DAYBREAK has reached the semi-finals of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award (Romance Category) - just a few more days as the results will be out on 13 June!

In the meantime, my Publishers Weekly review (which all quarter-finalists receive) is out. Last year's (DARK UNDER THE COVER OF NIGHT also reach the quarter finals) was a real stinker - but thankfully this year's reviewer loved NIGHTFALL TILL DAYBREAK! 

Frankly, I've never received such a glowing review. 

In this round, the Publishers Weekly reviewers had to read the whole book and review it. Hope this bodes well, although as the numbers now drop from 100 per category to 5 - the chances are slim. Will still be biting my nails down to the quick though!

Here is the PUBLISHERS WEEKLY review:

Historical romance takes on a new dimension in this novel set in a different period, the early 600s A.D.

Along the journey, she encounters Aiden, commander of Sigeberht’s armies and incorrigible flirt. The pair grow alongside each other as significant changes impact their lives, drawing them to each other and away from those they love, and deeper into the territorial and religious wars plaguing the land. Filled with stark, compelling details about the atrocities of battle, the masterful storytelling flows naturally from one scene to the next.

NIGHTFALL TILL DAYBREAK is a quarter finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards 2014!

Exciting news - my historical romance set in Anglo-Saxon England, NIGHTFALL TILL DAYBREAK, has made it through to the quarter finals of this year's ABNA (Romance Category). 

NIGHTFALL TILL DAYBREAK is the second novel in the KINGDOM OF THE EAST ANGLES SERIES. Set in 7th Century Anglo-Saxon England, it's the tale of a young woman taken as a king's slave, an ambitious warrior in search of a new life in Britannia - and the will of one man who rules them both.

DARK UNDER THE COVER OF NIGHT, the first book in the series, made it to the ABNA quarter finals last year as well - so I'm delighted that both novels have made it this far!
