The Beautiful Ashes, book one in the Broken Destiny series, releases today. I’ve been talking about this book for months, so while I want to let you know that it’s now available in print, ebook and audio, I also think it’s time to let other people talk about it instead of me, heh. Let’s face it: I loved the story enough to write it, so my opinion is, as you’d expect, terribly biased. That’s why I’m going to point you toward several excerpts plus some reviews, and let you take it from there :).
In a world of shadows, anything is possible. Except escaping your fate.
Ever since she was a child, Ivy has been gripped by visions of strange realms just beyond her own. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers the truth is far worse—her hallucinations are real, and her sister is trapped in a parallel realm. The one person who believes her is the dangerously attractive guy who’s bound by an ancient legacy to betray her.
Adrian might have turned his back on those who raised him, but that doesn’t mean he can change his fate…no matter how strong a pull he feels toward Ivy. Together they search for the powerful relic that can save her sister, but Adrian knows what Ivy doesn’t: that every step brings Ivy closer to the truth about her own destiny, and a war that could doom the world. Sooner or later, it will be Ivy on one side, Adrian on the other, and nothing but ashes in between…
Order from: Amazon, BAM, Powells, B&N, iBooks, Indiebound, Downpour.com , Audible.com or your favorite retailer.

Don’t forget to see me at Malaprops this Saturday, if you’re in the Asheville, NC area. For the rest of my tour schedule, including stops in TX, TN and VA, go here.
It’s not out on Amazon kindle UK until September 1st 🙁 I’ve checked Amazon US site and it is the same. I’m really disappointed as I thought it would have been checked that such a big seller like Amazon was selling your book on the appointed release date and not after 🙁
I will have my publisher check why the Amazon UK ebook is not releasing today but it IS available for purchase today in the United States. I just bought an ebook myself to make sure that everything went through.
I was notified this morning by Barnes and Noble that my ebook was available. (and I checked and it is!!!) Too bad I am working and need to wait!
I’m SO excited!!!! I preordered my copy a while ago, so it should come in very very soon!!
I have already downloaded my book from Audible. It will be hard to work today.
Hi Jeaniene!
Congratulations on the release of your new book!
As I am in Holland and it probably won’t be in book stores over here, i was wondering if it’s out in epub format yet. And also if it’s downloadable from here.
Thanks!
Can’t wait to get reading!!
Congratulations on the release of your new book!
Can’t wait to read it. 😀
🙁 1st of September for UK. Sad times.
It should’be been out in UK, Australia, etc., yesterday. I contacted my publisher and they are on it. Hope to have it fixed asap. So sorry!
1st of September in NZ too. This sucks!
This is a mistake. It should’be been out in English everywhere yesterday. I contacted my publisher and they are on it. Hope to have it fixed asap. So sorry!
I preordered mine from BN for the Nook and I got it today.
Hope you enjoy!
Please please tell me it will be available in Australia through Kobo!!!
It should be. There are issues with the UK and ebooks right now. They should’ve been released yesterday but because of a systems glitch, weren’t. Don’t know if this affects Australia, too, but the publisher is on it and it should be corrected asap.
