Hi everyone, good news: The ebook price for the first book in the upcoming Broken Destiny series has just dropped! Now you can preorder THE BEAUTIFUL ASHES in ebook for only $7.99. If you prefer paper, the book is coming out in Trade, which, if you’re unfamiliar, is larger than my usual books, but smaller than your average hardback. If this intersts you, here are some order links: Amazon, BAM, Powells, B&N, iTunes, Indiebound
Haven’t heard me talk about this book and you want more information? Got that and an extended excerpt here: https://jeanienefrost.com/2014/04/the-beautiful-ashes-excerpt-and-audio-news/
Now, to the swag part of the subject line. If you’ve been to any of my signings or seen me at a previous convention, you know that in addition to book marks, I give away character-themed bracelets. Here are some that I’ve done in the past:
For the aforementioned Broken Destiny series, I had some new swag bracelets made, plus engraved coconut-shell necklaces. I forced my niece, Lauren, to model the necklace because I’m an evil aunt ;). See a close-up of the shell next to her picture.
I’m giving away 300 of these in swag bags at the Never Have I Ever party, plus handing out more individually at my other appearances, so if you’re going to the Romantic Times convention (https://www.rtconvention.com/ ) next week in New Orleans, come and see me! I’ll make sure you don’t leave empty-handed :).
Here is where you can find me at RT:

How can i get a hold of some of the character bracelets, am in the UK and can’t get to signings or conventions which is a real shame… would love some giveaways.
I totally want this stuff, but I live in BFE Texas and can’t go to these conventions! It’s not fair! Please sell it or something? I’d be eternally grateful ^_^
Any chance at all that these completely amazing bracelets and swag will also be available at BEA?? *fingers crossed*
