COVER REVEAL FOR SOUL ENSLAVED!!

May 20, 2014 Keri Lake

It’s here. I’ve waited WAY too long to share this cover and it’s finally here!! I know you didn’t pop in to listen to my blabbering so I’ll try to keep this short and sweet by first saying THANK YOU to all my readers who stopped in to vote for your favorite model during the Cover Model Contest. Once again, you made this such a fun event for me!

Thank you to Daniel Sobieray and all his lip-biting, muscly sexiness. He makes one smokin' hot Wrath demon. Le sigh. By the way, ladies, in case you had any doubts while perusing his profile, those abs are the real deal. I’ve got over 500 raw images to prove it.

The background image is Woodward Avenue in Detroit, taken by the amazingly talented Curtis McGuire. One of my favorites and I saved it for Gavin ❤

And enormous thanks to my designer, David Wagner, who is so much fun to work with! I've had a baaaaaaaad case of coverlust going for the last few weeks. There may have been excessive staring and drooling and it's all thanks to David's brilliance. Can’t wait to start the next cover for Soul Redeemed!

Finally, lots of love for the kickass bloggers who helped me spread this purdy little thang all over the net

So without further delay, here is YOUR cover, the one YOU helped design:

Here is the full wrap:

ADD SOUL ENSLAVED TO YOUR GOODREADS SHELF!

Synopsis:

Imprisonment in Obsidius. Enslavement to a soul-sucking succubus. A reproductive cycle that’d send a sex fiend running into the arms of celibacy. Given the choice, most demons would opt for death.

Gavin, eldest son of Wrath, has been sentenced to all three.

When the succubus decides its time collect, though, he fears his nightmares have only just begun.

And Sabelle’s timing couldn’t be worse.

With a bad case of uncontrollable lust, thanks to his Savidon, the last thing Gavin wants is a vengeful succubus stoking his darkest desires, but debts must be paid—he just didn’t bank on enjoying his punishment so much.

Because the swinging bachelor may have found his perfect mate in the sexy seductress.

However, just as things seem to be looking up, past sins resurface, plunging the two into a deadly game of power and deception. As their worst fears merge into one unexpected threat, Gavin is determined to protect Sabelle and win her freedom.

At any cost.

RELEASE DATE WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON!!

SONS OF WRATH SERIES:

NEWS ABOUT SOUL AVENGED!

March 19, 2014 Keri Lake

I’ve got some prrreeeetty exciting news about Soul Avenged ... It’s about to get a makeover.

That’s right, to keep the look of the series consistent, I’m having the cover redesigned by my favorite Cali photographer, David Wagner, who has designed not only Soul Resurrected but will be designing Soul Enslaved as well.

All of the content in Soul Avenged will remain the same so if you have an older version of the book, no worries, the story will not change.

Only the face.

And speaking of faces …

Ayden is going to have a new look as well!

Meet Carla Coates (Carla Harvey as I knew her).

click to enlarge image:

Not only has she worked as an entertainment reporter for the Playboy Channel with a variety of roles in film and TV, and published a comic book that premiered at Comic Con 2011 - (yes, she's an insanely talented artist), she’s also the lead singer of the Butcher Babies AND a former classmate of mine. Originally from Detroit, Carla moved out to L.A. to pursue her dreams of music and mayhem, proving that you CAN make a living doing what you love.

With all this going on, including an international tour that will have her on the road most of this year, I was a little nervous to ask if she’d like to be the fresh new face of Soul Avenged. After all, Carla and her co-singer, Heidi, were dubbed the Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock by Revolver Magazine. She's a hot ticket right now and her fan base keeps growing. Which ... ahem ... includes me if you care to take a gander at my writing playlists. I saw her band play last year at The Machine Shop and holy hell they put on one badass show!

(pssst! Check it out: Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock )

I was pretty damn thrilled when she said she'd love to!

Carla easily has Ayden’s badass, lycan-slaying, take no shit look. And I am so excited to feature a Detroit native, the city where the series is set.

So, the deets still need to be worked out, but the photo shoot will happen sometime after Soul Enslaved. And … for those attending the San Francisco signing next summer, I’ll have a gorgeous batch of books to sign!

WINNER ANNOUNCED!!!!

March 11, 2014 Keri Lake

Okay I’ll just start out by saying this contest was hella crazy. Why?

Last Cover Model Contest, I received about 500 votes, spread out over a two-week period.

This time?

Three times as many!!! And that was in just 4 days of voting!! Holy hell, ladies and gents, you were all over these guys! Ha! Votes continued to come in up until midnight.

Before I get to the winner (don’t peek!), I want to say thank you to some folks who helped out with this contest and made it a success.

First, to David Wagner, for weeding through all the portfolios submitted for the contest, and narrowing down some smokin’ hot guys. Damn, they were sexy and I’d have never stumbled upon them without David’s help. Authors, seriously, check out David’s cover work. He’s so easygoing, fun to collaborate with AND he has connections to some truly stunning men!

Second, to the four gorgeous candidates – Mickael, Rafael, Daniel and Jason. Thanks so much for possessing superior genetics and making this contest an absolute blast! If I could’ve squeezed all four of you onto the cover, I would have!

Third, to my pimps … all the kickass bloggers who helped me spread the word, enormous thanks to each and every one of you!!

And finally, to my readers, thank you for helping me choose the model for Gavin’s book! I love the fact that you all play a role in my stories – a huge role, since a story’s cover is what draws a reader. Thanks to you, Gavin now has a (very) handsome face—one I shall ~~drool over~~, I mean, muse over as I finish writing his book. If you opted in for it, your name will be included in a Special Contributors page of Soul Enslaved just for stopping in to vote!

Okay, now for the WINNERS of the Rafflecopter giveaway!!!

I’m so very excited ….

Very very excited ….

Thrilled to announce that the incredibly sexy

DANIEL SOBIERAY

will represent the face of Gavin for Soul Enslaved!!!

Le swoon! That wicked smile! Those beautiful eyes! That chiseled physique! Daniel will make one fine-looking Wrath demon … very happy to have him on the cover!

And I had the pleasure of chatting with David this afternoon, brainstorming ideas to make this cover hot hot hot!! So you’re in for a treat, ladies … as you know, Gavin has his own style and it’ll surely come through in the design we’re planning.

If your guy didn’t happen to win this particular cover—and I’m asking that all voters please be respectful to all candidates in the contest—you still played an enormous role by getting to know the character, spreading the word and taking the time to cast your vote. And for that, I’m incredibly grateful! There will more opportunities throughout this series for all of you to own a part of my stories.

So when is Soul Enslaved coming??

I’m working on Gavin’s story as we speak. I will keep you updated as it gets closer to publication!

In the meantime, I’ll be publishing a FREE short erotic novel, titled The Fallen. That will come out sometime in April and is the story of Xander, the fallen angel in the Sons of Wrath series. This book is a standalone and NOT part of overarching story that spans the series. Keep an eye out for that!

Thanks so much for reading <3
