I have a couple of announcements and then some quick updates regarding Soul Enslaved and Ricochet. First, due to some unforeseen circumstances, I must regrettably cancel my appearance at the signing in San Francisco. I’m incredibly disappointed as I’d hoped to meet some of you, as well as some of the amazing authors and of course, Nadine—the very gracious host for this event.

Second, for those who may have missed it earlier in the week, I announced on my FB page that I will be pushing the release of Soul Enslaved back a couple of weeks as I work through some changes that have affected the entire storyline.

The original release date was scheduled for November 6th and given the length of this book, simply wouldn’t allow enough time to address the pieces of the story affected by this minor change.

So when is the release date for Soul Enslaved?

I’m looking at Friday, December 5^th. I'll post again soon, confirming the date.

My apologies for having to prolong the wait, but I cannot publish something that I’m not completely satisfied with. These edits have strengthened the story and I have to say, my goal for each book is to write a better story than the last—Soul Enslaved is, by far, my favorite in the series.

I mentioned in an earlier post, that there will NOT be a blog tour for the release of Soul Enslaved. With the holidays coming up and the number of projects I currently have going, I’d like to channel my energy into the writing.

HOWEVER.

I am doing a book blast on release day and could use your help spreading the word! Not just bloggers – readers too! For a VERY limited time, Soul Enslaved is going to be 99 cents. A percent of sales will be donated to two organizations that help kids stay off the streets.

To join in on the blast, just click on the link below, fill out the form and I’ll contact you two days before the book’s release!

SOUL ENSLAVED BOOK BLAST SIGN UP

Additionally, there WILL be a rafflecopter with some awesome prizes that I’ll be giving away, including a limited edition print, signed by sexy cover model, Daniel Sobieray!

Soul Enslaved is with the editor right now, and I'll be handing this baby off to some beta readers very soon--like, next week, soon.

With Soul Enslaved written and out of my hands, I'll be shifting gears and working to get Ricochet out to readers as quickly as I can! I've gotten a number of emails asking who that gorgeous face is on the cover. That chiseled perfection belongs to British model, Chris Williamson.

Go add the book to your Goodreads shelf!

If you're not from Michigan, then you probably don't know how f**king C.O.L.D. it can get here. I mean, eyes-watering-then-turning-your-eyelashes-to-icicles cold. Look at this, taken just last week:

Frigid. And when the wind blows? Like little daggers of misery beating against your bones. On days when it dips below freezing with a wind chill somewhere in the negatives, my first thought is, how the hell do the homeless survive in this shit?

As you know, the Sons of Wrath series is set in Detroit. Not just by random selection. I was born in Detroit and raised on the outskirts.

I'm currently running a limited time promotion for Soul Avenged and will be donating a percent sales to:

Covenant House of Michigan - This is an organization that provides shelter and education to runaway and at-risk youth in Detroit (ages 13-22).

How can you help?

For every book purchased during this promotion, a percentage of sales will be made in the name of Keri Lake's Caring Readers.

Help me get the word out and support a good cause.

For those who share and like this status on my FB page, I'll be randomly giving away a limited edition print, signed by cover model Julian Christian and moi, of course.
