So I thought I would do an update post for the Mythos Academy young adult urban fantasy series and let everyone know what’s going on with the series:

1) Kiss of Frost, the second book in the series, will be released on Nov. 29. Gwen and the gang are back for more adventures and run-ins with Reapers of Chaos and mythological monsters, this time during the academy’s annual Winter Carnival weekend. Here’s the back cover copy for the book:

Logan Quinn was trying to kill me. My Spartan classmate relentlessly pursued me, swinging his sword at me over and over again, the shining silver blade inching closer to my throat every time. A smile tugged up his lips, and his ice-blue eyes practically glowed with the thrill of battle …

I’m Gwen Frost, a second-year warrior-in-training at Mythos Academy, and I have no idea how I’m going to survive the rest of the semester. One day, I’m getting schooled in swordplay by the guy who broke my heart — the drop-dead gorgeous Logan who slays me every time. Then, an invisible archer in the Library of Antiquities decides to use me for target practice. And now, I find out that someone at the academy is really a Reaper bad guy who wants me dead. I’m afraid if I don’t learn how to live by the sword — with Logan’s help — I just might die by the sword …

You can read an excerpt here. The book is up for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other booksellers.

2) I’m happy to announce that some foreign rights have been sold for the Mythos Academy series. Shown with this post is the German cover for Touch of Frost. I’m not sure when this will be released, but I’m guessing sometime in 2012. I’ll let you know when I get more information.

3) Dark Frost is the title for the third book in the series, and it is set for a June 2012 release. The on-sale date will be May 29, 2012.

4) I’ll be doing a blog tour for Kiss of Frost, starting in mid-November and probably running through the first week or two of December. I’ll link to the various posts here on my blog.

5) I have bookmarks for Kiss of Frost now, along with the ones for Touch of Frost, so if you want some of those, send me an e-mail to find out how to get them. Please note that I ask folks to send me a self-addressed stamped envelope with two stamps — 88 cents — on it. I ask overseas folks to include at least $2 worth of U.S. postage or international postage coupons with their return envelope. This helps me cover postage costs.

Those are all the updates that I have at this time. I’ll post more information here on the blog as it becomes available.
