I've moved this blog and merged it with my Jennifer Ashley one. Get all the information on what's happening with the Shareem, Stormwalker series and others at the new website and blog:

Website: http://www.jenniferashley.com
Blog: http://www.jenniferashley.com/blog

See you there!

New website; Boxed sets

Howdy. I've been working my buns off over here in the last few weeks, finishing another Shifters Unbound novel, plus boxing up the first six Shareem into bundles for those who want them.

The new website is cool! It combines Allyson James and Jennifer Ashley, so you can find information on all my series under both names there. Each series has its own page, which lists the books, the reading order, and other stuff. Each book also has its own page for more info.

Access it at either:

http://www.allysonjames.com

or http://www.jenniferashley.com

You'll see on the home page that I've boxed up the Shareem. :-) The first six guys anyway. Volume One contains Rees, Rio, and Aiden & Ky; Volume 2 contains Calder, Braden, and Justin.

Kieran is still on his own, but when I get more Shareem together (e.g., Eland, and hopefully more), I'll bundle him in with them. The sets are availble from Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Apple iBooks, and All Romance Ebooks. (I'm working to get my entire catalog on Google Play, but it takes time!)


Enjoy the new website! Poke around, browse, and let me know if there are any problems, so I can get it corrected.

Thanks!


Allyson James

I'm so happy to have this book out, I can't tell you!!! :-) I hope you like him.

Here's the blurb:

Kieran is meant to be the ultimate level-three Shareem, unthinking and sexually driven, without much emotion and personal thought. Now that he’s free of the experimenters who tortured him, he feels as though he’s two people—the Kieran who struggles to fit in even with other Shareem, and the Kieran who can become the commanding level three at the touch of a woman’s hand.

Kieran is the one sent to scope out the transports that might take Shareem away from their restricted life for good, but that plan goes awry when he stumbles across Felice, who is fleeing from a life of slavery to Bor Narga.

Felice stirs the level three in him, but Kieran responds to her as Kieran as well, finding in her a woman who understands him better than he understands himself. Kieran jeopardizes the safety and freedom of all Shareem by pausing to help Felice, but he also jeopardizes his heart, which was supposed to have been stripped of all deeper emotion.

Book 7 in Tales of the Shareem. This is a full-length novel, twenty chapters.

Woo hoo!

Kieran (Shareem 7) Out Monday!

On Monday, June 9, I plan to release KIERAN, Tales of the Shareem Book 9. I don't have preorder buttons, so if you want to receive an email blast when the book is out, join my newsletter here:

Kieran will be available on Nook, Kindle, Kobo, Apple, All romance ebooks, Smashwords, and in print (though print usually takes an extra week.)

I loved Kieran from the moment he walked into my head. He's a special guy. (And doesn't take any sh*t :-)).

Next time I post, the book will be out!! I'm getting excited.

I had many, many requests to have these released on their own--I was finally able to persuade my publisher to do it, so I hope you enjoy them!

Tales of the Shareem--Kieran

Coming June 9! 

Tales of the Shareem: Kieran 

This is Book 7 in the Shareem series--following Justin.

I don't have pre-orders set up yet, but stay tuned. I might be able to.

You haven't met Kieran in any of the books. He walked into my head and said he was the next Shareem. I said, OK. And you're hot.

The other Shareem already know him. He's big, he's bold, he's wonderful. He's paired with a heroine from Old Earth who's a bit different from the women Kieran has known. And the Shareem are getting closer to their freedom. A lot happens in this book!

After Kieran, I'm trying to get Eland and Jeanne's story, now a longer novella, into shape to re-issue as well.

I'll let you know about pre-orders.

Meanwhile, if you're a Stormwalker fan, don't forget that Double Hexed is out on May 20!

http://www.amazon.com/Double-Hexed-Allyson-James-ebook/dp/B00INIXRVU

Double Hexed--Stormwalker Novella in May!

My publisher has agreed to pull out the Double Hexed novella (originally published in the Hexed anthology) and offer it as a standalone e-book. I'm thrilled! I love this story set in the Stormwalker world--one of my favorites of all the novellas I've written.

Janet, Mick, Coyote, and company are trapped by a hex in Janet's hotel, and many, many crazy things happen. The character of Emmett Smith, who plays a role in Nightwalker (and will in upcoming books), is introduced in this story.

Pre-order it here:

http://www.amazon.com/Double-Hexed-Allyson-James-ebook/dp/B00INIXRVU/

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/double-hexed-allyson-james/1118742010?ean=9780698182912

https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/double-hexed/id828753737?mt=11

It will also be available on Kobo and other vendors when it's out.

Speaking of Stormwalker, I plan to release another episode in Janet's adventures this year! Shareem got first dibs, but Stormwalker will follow.

I had originally planned to call this novel Dreamwalker, but a number of books entitled Dreamwalker have recently come on the market, so I'm rethinking it. The top contender is Magicwalker, which isn't really a word, but it goes with the story.

More about that anon.

All Shareem are now in print! New Shareem in the works

All the current Shareem novels now have a print edition. Find them via links below. I was motivated not only by the desire to make these available to print readers, but also in answer to people trying to sell used copies for $50 to $880. Crazy. A ripoff for you, and I don't see a dime of it either.

Here are the Shareem boys, in pretty new paperbacks:

Rees

Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Rees-Tales-Shareem-Allyson-James/dp/1941229557

Aiden & Ky, Calder, and Braden haven't propagated to other booksellers yet, but they should soon.

NEW SHAREEM!

I am about halfway through writing Tales of the Shareem: Kieran, a brand new guy (and he's lovable!), and the heroine who's strong enough to match him. More about that, plus a cover reveal in an upcoming post.

Also, I'm revising Eland which was originally a "quickie" short story. That will be out after Kieran. 

I am expanding and rewriting Eland into novella length (maybe longer, who knows!), so I'm thinking I'll change the title to Eland and Jeanne, so it's distinguished from the out-of-print, barely-there short story (we had word count restrictions when I wrote that one, so I could only do so much--now I get to tell the story I wanted to.)

More about both of these soon, and I'll let you know about pre-orders as well! 

Rees back in print; Double Hexed as E-book

I've been a little quiet on the Allyson James front, because I've had so many things to do!! (Jennifer Ashley right now is taking up all my time). But I have a couple of announcements:

1. Tales of the Shareem: Rees  is available once again in print! Right now you can order directly from Amazon--I've chosen expanded distribution, so check in a couple of weeks at other online vendors or ask you favorite bookstore to order it.

http://www.amazon.com/Rees-Tales-Shareem-Allyson-James/dp/1941229557/

ISBN: 978-1941229552

2. Double Hexed as standalone Ebook: The Stormwalker novella "Double Hexed", which I wrote for the Hexed anthology, is being re-released by itself as an ebook. This is the exact same story (no changes) from the anthology. Release date is May 20! 

Preorder from:

Kindle:   http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00INIXRVU

Nook: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/double-hexed-allyson-james/1118742010?ean=9780698182912

Apple iBooks/iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/double-hexed/id828753737?mt=11

Thank You to Readers, from Allyson James

I posted this on my Jennifer Ashley blog, but it equally goes to my Allyson James readers . . .

I wanted to take a moment to tell my readers THANK YOU for making this a great year. For enjoying the books; chatting to me here, on FB, email, Twitter, whathaveyou; and all around being fantastic.

As many of you know, I've been completely swamped on the writing front, both with writing and other things behind the scenes. I want to let everyone know that I read and appreciate every single email you write to me privately, every card and letter I get via snail mail, and every post or comment on social media.

I don't always have time right away to answer, but I try to answer every email or letter I can. Sometimes emails get lost in the morass of my inbox (after I've read them), but I do read everything myself; I don't filter my email through an assistant. I appreciate everyone who takes time to write me, and I hope I can answer all your questions.

I've finally had the chance this week (though I'm still editing and proofreading like crazy) to mail off some things people have been waiting for--look for those this coming week or early next.

My schedule is just as crazy going into 2014, but that's a good thing. More Shifters are coming out this spring, more Mackenzies are in the works, I'll be republishing the Immortals series as soon as I can (plan for January). Plus I'm going to get back to the Capt. Lacey series, and revisit the Shareem and the Stormwalker series. Whew. :-)

But even with all that, I couldn't do it without my readers. I tip a big glass of champagne to you all, and again say THANK YOU!!!!

Best,

Allyson James

Nightwalker is out in print!

The print edition of Nightwalker is now out! (along w/ ebook editions). Find it at Amazon:

So excited. Hope you enjoy it.

Nightwalker is now OUT!

Nightwalker officially releases today! It is already available at

Kindle:
http://www.amazon.com/Nightwalker-Stormwalker-ebook/dp/B009FFGEO2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1348408441&sr=8-4&keywords=allyson+james+nightwalker

And finally: Nook:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/nightwalker-stephanie-james/1004018009?ean=2940015604627

(Sony and Apple are uploaded via Smashwords and can take a week to a month).

A print version will be out soon!

Publishing this is a great triumph for me, for many reasons. I appreciate your patience, and hope that you enjoy the book.

I will continued the Stormawalker series with more books and novellas. It's not over yet!

As I finish up proofreading Nightwalker, the editor doing the same, I can announce that the pub date for this novel is September 23, 2012.

As this book is indie-pubbed, it can't be preordered, but check my website and blog, FB page, Twitter for the announcement, or sign up for my newsletter through my website (http://www.allysonjames.com). Or you can email me at allysonjames @ cox .net (no spaces) and ask to be put on the list for my email blast.

This is a full-length, 90,000-word novel in the Stormwalker series. You can read a description of it on my website (http://www.allysonjames.com/stormwalker.html) or on its Goodreads page.

Sorry this has taken so long. Everything that possibly could have delayed this book has delayed it. Contract issues, illness, frantic deadlines for other books, injuries in the family, broken laptops, new laptops that don't work, time and coordination problems . . .

Well, this series has always had a curse on it. I'm pretty sure it's the skinwalkers, or maybe Grandmother Begay, who doesn't want them to be out there.

But the universe willing, the pub date is September 23. Please don't be upset if it's the 24th or 25th for some versions--once I upload the book it's then up to the vendors to put it out in a timely fashion. Some are faster than others.

A print edition will follow the epub, probably in about a week after epub date. The cover designer is working on the print cover now.

I plan to continue the series with more books, both short and long. Gabrielle has much more to do, Mick and Janet aren't finished, Colby is still hanging around, and who knows who's going to show up next at Janet's hotel?

I won't project pub dates (learned that lesson), but suffice to say, there will be more! As much as I can possibly do! (And Shareem? Yep, them too.)

Allyson James

Updates on Nightwalker

Yes, it's getting there! I'm working my way through the draft, revising it at the same time as writing and turning in novellas and books for my Jennifer Ashley persona. I'm about 2/3 done with the revisions of NW, after which I'll turn it over to a copy editor.

If all goes well, I hope to pub this later this month, around the 20th. I'll update with a firmer date when I know it.

The book will be up in all e-book forms, with a print edition available through Amazon as well. No pre-orders are possible, but I'll post as soon as it's ready (here and everywhere else). You can join my Allyson James newsletter for an announcement when the book is out here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/allysonjames/

or send me an email: allysonjames @ cox . net  [no spaces]

Also, check out my Jennifer Ashley webpage, for the new Shifters short novel, Hard Mated, which is out in e-, soon to be in print!
http://www.jennifersromances.com

Nightwalker Draft Done

Good news! I finished Nightwalker last night (typed THE END woot!). The draft turned out to be about 87,000 words. Now I need to read it and find out if there's a book there, not just 87,000 words! I will revise, then have it edited and proofed, and then it will be out!

I'll keep posting about in what stage the book is as I go, here and on Twitter and FB, so you will have an idea how long it will be to publication.

I'm excited about this. I also have another Stormwalker novella in the works, plus the next book already in planning stages. I won't project how long it will be for those, because I have a boatload of work to do for my Jennifer Ashley side, but I'm excited to get started on them. (Shareem lovers: I do plan one more book in that series--to give all the Shareem their ending).

Happy reading, and thanks for your patience!

Publication Schedule Update

Dear Readers: Yes, I know, my Allyson James books have been delayed a bit. Apologies for not updating the website, but I've been so busy writing!!

I'm experiencing a slight delay due to life and books taking longer to write than I'd planned. When I say "delay," I'm talking a few weeks to a month, not years! What is coming down the pipeline is still coming down the pipeline--the pipeline just got blocked a little.

So we have:

Justin (Tales of the Shareem): Coming Feb 20. (Right now it's in edits). I will make a huge, blaring announcement when it's out!

Nightwalker (Stormwalker Book 4): Has now moved to mid or late March.

Everything else is pretty much on track (Duke's Perfect Wife as Jennifer Ashley in April, more Shifters after that).

I'd rather take a few more weeks to make the books the best I can make them than have them dumped on you before they're ready. I'm also happy to have understanding editors! :-)

I plan at least one more Shareem after Justin (Judith's story and wrapping up some threads...though who knows?)

The Stormwalker series at this point is open-ended. I love the world, Janet, Mick, Colby, Coyote...

Thanks for your patience. It's all coming soon!!

News on All Series

Lots of news! I’m pleased to announce the release of WILD CAT (Shifters Unbound Book 3), on Tuesday January 3, by my alter-ego, Jennifer Ashley.

This book is out in both print and e-, available wherever you shop for books, as well as online at Books on Board, Amazon, B&N, Kobo, iTunes, Sony, etc.

When Diego Escobar assists in what should be a simple task of arresting a trespasser, he comes face-to-face with his first Shifter--the beautiful feline Shifter Cassidy Warden. Assigned to watch over her, Diego learns more about the lonely, wild Cassidy than it's safe to know. Diego might be human, but he's virile and darkly handsome, and stirs Cassidy's mating desire, which she thought dead forever. (Author’s note: Diego is strong, bad-ass, and hot!!)

What’s Happening with Other Series?

This year will see several releases in all my series. Look for:

Tales of the Shareem: Justin (Shareem #7), by Allyson James, sometime near the end of January

Nightwalker (Stormwalker #4) by Allyson James, in February

A Disappearance in Drury Lane (Captain Lacey Mysteries #8) by Ashley Gardner, in March

The Duke’s Perfect Wife (Hart’s story—Mackenzies #4) by Jennifer Ashley, in April

Another Shifters Unbound short novel (Spike’s story), in May or June

In the rest of the year, look for another Stormwalker book, another Capt. Lacey mystery, and more tie-in short novels in the Shifters and the Mackenzie series, as well as more full-length Shifter and Mackenzie releases.

Plus, I might be starting a few new things—perhaps some contemporary romances. I’m doing a lot already this year, so I’ll keep you posted on that!

For information on all series, please visit my websites:
