Comes the Night – with a really cool contest!
This series has been a long time in the making — three years, to be precise. That’s how long we’ve been living in this dark and thrilling Caster world. Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of Book 1 – Comes the Night.
Right now, it’s available only in ebook form from Amazon (Kindle) and Smashwords (all formats), but we couldn’t wait to tell you! We are very close to launching the paperback version, and are waiting for distribution of the ebook to Barnes & Noble, the Apple iBookstore, Kobo, etc. We’ll really make some noise then!
In the meantime, we’re having a contest to celebrate the launch. Because stones will play a significant role in this series, we’re giving away an enormous, softball-sized Labradorite crystal sphere (approx. value $200). Labradorite is a stone of “spiritual awakening”. It’s found in the Labrador Peninsula in Canada (duh), but it can also be found in Norway and the former USSR. According to GemstoneGifts.com, it “promotes intellectual, intuitive, and mystical wisdom, calmness, intuition”.
To enter this contest, just read this back cover blurb and comment below, giving us a one-word reaction. See? Easy!
How far would you go to escape your own personal teenage hell? Would you run away, break away from everything you know—even your own body?
Alex Robbins, Brooke Saunders and Maryanne Hemlock could not be more different, yet they all have something in common—deep and soul-searing pain. They are also all students atStreepAcademy, a boarding school just one step away from juvie, where they’ve come to complete high school. The three have been relegated to Harvell House, the residence reserved for the hardest cases, the so-called Rejects from Reject Row.
In the forbidden attic of the old Victorian house-turned-residence, the girls discover the diary of Connie Harvell, a young woman who was confined and abused there some 50 years ago. In the end, Connie’s attic prison couldn’t hold her—not completely. She found a way out. At least a dark part of her did. And after reading her diary, the girls discover they can escape at will too. A terrifying, thrilling flight from their bodies and their troubles.
But God help them, their pain isn’t all they leave behind when they join with the night.
And God help anyone who’s wronged them…
We will draw a random winner from the entries on January 15, 2013.

Haunting, Looks like a can’t stop reading book.
REVENGE!!! I know that when I was a teenager, I took everything SO personally!!! It sounds terrible now, but at that time I wasn’t interested in apologies or restored relationships- I was looking for payback, revenge, suffering… Granted, I’m older now, and wiser- but this book sounds right up my alley… a macabre stroll down memory lane….
Captivating!
My one word would be “haunting” …some teens go through some pretty tough situations that forever change them.Looking forward to reading the book because of your blurb.

Wouldn’t be a teenager again for all the tea in China. I think most of us would like to escape at that age, after all no one really understands us at that age.

Instantly captivating!
Haunting is the first that came to mind. Thanks!
Thanks for the giveaway, it sounds like an interesting book. I loved the picture of your cat with the prize.
i find this discription sort of trite, actually. might play as another bloody,(ho[hum), teenage horror flick, but unlike most, i fear the book would not be better than the movie
EXCITING!! Love the Cat
Thanks for the chance to win!
Escape.
Scary
