Life Happens:-(

Unfortunate that statement “Life Happens” really does sum it all up. As much as I have struggled to get After Star out to you, my wonderful fans, I find that life happens to throws me too much at once. Right now is one of those times. Between my work as a teacher, tutoring, and caring for my family, I can’t keep staying up late into the night to write.

So with a heavy heart, I have to push back After Star’s release date.

 ***boo*** I am saying it, too.

I want to give you all a well written book and don’t want to get so burned out and rushed that I am just slapping the last edits on. So the new dates are:

After Star Cover Reveal:   May 24

Release of After Star:  July 19

If I have made anyone seriously depressed (like me) please post a comment with your contact info or contact me on my other social medias with your address and I’ll send you something cursed and beastly to put a smile on your face.

Hugs,

Ashley

Fire and Shadows By Rochelle Maya Callen

Book Description: Secrets. Silence. Sacrifice.

Jade is only beginning to unravel her own secrets. Facing fate, a murky past and a brutal inner battle, Jade must become what she fears without giving into the darkness.

If she doesn't, the world will be devoured by Fire and Shadows.

Author Bio: Rochelle grew up dreaming up stories. When she entered high school, she tucked away her creative side and jumped head-first into academics, work, and service projects. She graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Political Science and Communication when she was twenty years old. After years away from her writing, Rochelle picked up a pen and started fleshing out a character sketch that she outlined when she was twelve. That sketch was the start of the Ashes and Ice story. Rochelle lives in the DC metro area with her husband and daughter. Fire and Shadows is her second novel.

THE STORY...

She is desperate to remember.

He is aching to forget.

Together, they are not broken.

But together, one may not survive.

Jade wakes up with no memory of her past and blood on her hands.

Plagued by wicked thoughts, she searches for answers. Instead, she finds a boy who doesn't offer her answers, but hope. But sometimes, when nightmares turn into reality and death follows you everywhere, hope is not enough.

LUST. LOVE. LOSS. Sometimes, all that is left are Ashes and Ice.

Praise for Ashes and Ice:

"For me, Ashes and Ice was a work of art. Rochelle Maya Callen wove a very intricate tale. A love story of sorts. Dark and sinister yet full of hope and light. Callen painted her world brilliantly. This story was intoxicating and electric. I was captivated to the very end."

Curse of the Beast~ A young adult retelling of Beauty and the Beast with a werewolf twist. Will Seventeen year-old Tayla break the curse? 

Excerpt:

 “Ug, why won’t I wake up?” I muttered, feeling my sanity start to slip. “This can’t be happening.”

 “Whether you believe it or not, we’re stuck together, bound by a magical cord.” His voice sounded dismal, as if depressed.

I cocked a disbelieving eyebrow at him and scoffed, “And I believe in fairies. Is this some sort of twisted game? First you drug me, then mess with my head?”

He smiled grimly. “I didn’t drug you and the magical cord is real and unbreakable. Don’t believe if you choose, but that doesn’t change anything. We are still stuck together and now it is time to go.”  

I stared back into his serious eyes, my words stolen from me. He couldn’t be serious, could he? My thoughts swam and the world swirled in my vision. I caught him eyeing me as if waiting for something. Did he think I would faint?

Honestly, I might. I squirmed and rubbed my stomach, trying to erase the horrible image of the pulsating rope buried in my flesh. I checked the skin. There was no visible trace left now.

“My wolf has chosen you, and there is no way around it.” Beast’s voice broke through my thoughts, and my gaze flicked to him. “You must come with me.”
