Today I have a few book announcements to make!
LITTLE, BROWN BOOKS FOR YOUNG READERS TO PUBLISH ORIGINAL SHORT STORY IN NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING BEAUTIFUL CREATURES SERIES
EXCLUSIVELY AS AN E-BOOK ON AUGUST 2, 2011
DREAM DARK: A BEAUTIFUL CREATURES STORY Features Fan-Favorite Character
and Includes a Special Preview of the Upcoming BEAUTIFUL CHAOS Novel
Little, Brown Books for Young Readers will publish an exclusive e-book as part of the bestselling BEAUTIFUL CREATURES series by award-winning authors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. DREAM DARK: A BEAUTIFUL CREATURES STORY is a never-before-seen short story, created as a prequel to BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, the hugely anticipated third book in theseries, which goes on sale October 18. The e-book is set to release on August 2 for $1.99, and will be available for download across all digital platforms.
This all-new storyfocuses on the fan-favorite character Link who undergoes a heart-racing transformation. Wounded during a climactic battle, Link slowly realizes that being bitten by a Supernatural does more than break the skin—it can change a person, inside and out, turning him into a creature more and more like the dark creature who injured him. As a special bonus, DREAM DARK will include an exclusive sneak peek at the first five chapters of BEAUTIFUL CHAOS. It will also be available as an audio download to pub simultaneously with the e-book.
“We have had strong success with the first two books in the series in e-book form— with sales of over 30,000 copies combined,” remarked Andrew Smith, the division’s VP and Deputy publisher. “It is thrilling to be able to announce a brand-new e-book story by these dynamic, bestselling authors— and have it available this summer for the countless fans who have been clamoring for a further glimpse into this fantastical world and are eagerly awaiting the October 18 release of BEAUTIFUL CHAOS.”
"We are so happy to continue to support our loyal online readership with this original e-book,” say authors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, on their decision to write a short story in this format. “So many of our readers have asked us to write more about other characters in the BEAUTIFUL CREATURES novels, Link in particular. This story is for them."

Been trying to find Dream Dark to download (I don’t want to pay for novellas lol).
ReplyDeleteThanks though for commenting on my Legend review. I didn’t intend to brag about it :P It was just extremely gushy.
Wow! These both look so fantastic! Fabulous feature, Savy! :)
