Thread of Death e-novella …

• Posted in About Books, Elemental Assassin series, On Writing

Well, I have some news to share. There will be an e-novella to go along with By a Thread, the sixth Elemental Assassin urban fantasy book that will be out on Feb. 28.

The e-novella is called Thread of Death, and it takes place at the end of the events of Spider’s Revenge. Note that the following description contains some spoilers for Spider’s Revenge, so if you haven’t read that book yet, you may want to skip the description:

Gin Blanco, aka the assassin the Spider, might have finally killed her nemesis, Mab Monroe, but that doesn’t mean that it’s smooth sailing. Gin goes to Mab’s funeral to say her goodbyes and runs into some of Ashland’s most notorious underworld power players, including Jonah McAllister and Phillip Kincaid. McAllister wants her dead, and Kincaid has his own murky motives when it comes to the Spider, and Gin once again finds herself fighting for her life. Only this time, she might wind up in the cemetery right next to Mab …

Basically, Gin attends Mab’s funeral and finds herself in trouble once again. It’s also sort of a round robin story and features the points of view of Gin, along with Jonah McAllister and Phillip Kincaid. The e-novella is around 20,000 words. You don’t have to read the e-novella to enjoy By a Thread or the rest of the series, but it gives a little insight into what McAllister and Kincaid think about Gin. It also hints at and sets up a few things for Widow’s Web, the seventh book that will be out on Aug. 21.

Thread of Death will be released on Jan. 31 (e-book only). The price is $1.99, and it is up for preorder at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other online booksellers. Hope everyone enjoys it. Happy reading!

    I love the idea of having a novella in between the novels… it’s cheap and gives the readers their “fix” to help tie them over until the next book comes out. I’m excited to read this. ^.^

    Aaaaah! How exciting!
    Ummm… I love all your Elemental Assassin covers… but I think this is my favourite… all the tiny little details that make it so SO perfect!

      As far as I know, it will be a worldwide release, so it *should* be available in Australia — and in the UK for Lesley who was asking about its availability there.

      So I would check places like Amazon UK and perhaps the Book Depository (I know they ship books worldwide, but I don’t know about their e-books). Anyway, hope this helps.
