News Flash!! DX is Free for Kindle (Limited Time!)

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

Until 1/31/12 (or thereabouts, might be a couple days longer) my Crimson City novella DX is free for Kindle.


Get DX for Kindle for $0.00

I can’t guarantee the date it goes back to the usual price because I’m dependent on Amazon price matching, however, on February 1, I’ll be setting the price back to $1.99 at the other vendors.

Cover for Crimson City Novella "DX"

Demons. Werewolves. An Internal-Operations agent who just wants her job back . . .
DX is a NOVELLA, and is about 25,000 words. It originally appeared in the anthology Shards of Crimson.

Newsiness

I just sent out a newsletter with all the news that I kept saving up because I would soon have MORE news. If you want to be on my newsletter list, sign up! It’s super fun and I only send one out when I have news (I had a lot) or when I have a release (there’s one coming up in February). If you want the most recent newsletter, with all its newsy-news, let me know and I’ll send it to you. If you do, I will not sign you up for future newsletters. For that, you’ll have to go through the sign-up process.

Foreign Sales

Scandal and Indiscreet have sold to France, so if you read French you’re in luck.

Scandal has sold into Germany so German readers are in luck.

Fork against a blue sky with white clouds

The Fork

YAY!!!!!!!!!

Not Proper Enough has been emailed to my editor. How did it go, you ask? Well, just in the last three days:

1. I discovered I had written TWO getting married scenes.
2. I deleted about 10,000 words and four chapters. (including the extra married scene)
3. I wrote 9,000 new words.
4. I completely rewrote the middle of the book.

Other than that, things went fine.

Lord Ruin Available on Kindle!

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011


My 2002 historical, Lord Ruin, is now available on Kindle. $4.99. No DRM. No geo-restrictions and with a spiffy new cover! I’m working on other formats and hope to have them up shortly, but it’s as time permits given I have a book due and it’s a fair amount of work to get the files clean and read.

If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a print version of this book, that’s in the works too, as a POD.

Announcement, Good News and a Story coming your way

Monday, February 14th, 2011

MacMillan, which as you may know, does the Tor.com website, has launched a publisher-neutral Romance website called Heroes and Heartbreakers. The site is live today, Monday February 14. Full disclosure: I’m going to be blogging for them from time to time and I’ve also written a short story for them called The King’s Dragon. You can read the teaser today, by the way. Check out the awesome artwork!

I’ll tease you a little more about the story. It’s set in a Fantasy world in which humans and a race of elves don’t exactly get along anymore. The hero is a half-breed and a warrior, terribly scarred. I think you’ll love this story and hope you’ll take a look at the teaser and admire the beautiful artwork. When the story is released on the website, you’ll need to register at the site to read it. The story rocks, people. It really does. I LOVED writing it. I’ll post to the blog when it’s live, of course.

The website has some pretty awesome content — there are excerpts of upcoming books from Eloisa James, Lisa Kleypas and Cat Adams, as well as stories, blogs and contests. Check it out. I think it’s going to be a great community for readers who love romance.

Nice Review of My Immortal Assassin

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011

From Night Owl Reviews

This is the third installment of Carolyn Jewel’s My Immortal Series. Ms. Jewel is able to bring a different world to light that is hidden from normal people…a world of Mages, Witches, and Fiends. The interaction between the characters is very entertaining. This book was hard to put down. I can’t wait for the next installment to come out. If you like romance and action along with a bit of magic thrown in then this series is for you. Keep your eyes open for the next installment coming in June titled My Dangerous Pleasure.

Reviewed by Robin

Yay!

Did I mention this?

Sunday, November 28th, 2010

I turned in my My Immortals short story to my editor. There were some minor tweaks which took, literally, 15 minutes to do. I sent it back. I’m now waiting to hear when Hachette thinks is the best time to release it. My guess is that they’ll do it between the two 2011 releases, but maybe not. I’ll let you know when I find out.

In other news, my rotten cold is getting rottener. I can feel my brain turning to mush.

Good News!

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

I have received my rights back for my two historicals, Lord Ruin and The Spare. This means, among other things, that the publisher no longer has rights to my characters and that all the pesky legal issues that made the possibility of sequels kind of difficult are now removed. Now the only issues are what to do with the rights. I think reselling them would be difficult and unlikely, but I suppose worth asking about.

In all honesty, the decision for me will be whether I try to resell the books myself say, via the Kindle, or simply give them away as free eBooks. I know EXACTLY who I would want to do any cover art, though. Then I’ll have to think about how, when and if I can do the sequels to Lord Ruin so many people have asked about every year since the book was first published.

Also, today I received Czech language versions for Scandal. In Czech, my last name is Jewelova. In case you were wondering.
