Happy New Year and Happy Make Over too!

Bringing in the New Year is always a great opportunity to make things fun and fresh, and we are certainly getting to do that here at Of Witches and Warlocks!  Along with the new look of our redesigned webpages, we are getting a makeover for not one, but two of the books!

Book one, The Trouble with Spells, will be getting a NEW LOWER PRICE, NEW INTERIOR FORMAT, and a NEW COVER when it makes the move over to it's NEW PUBLISHER, Global Authors Publications, the wonderful company which produced books two and three of this series!   Since this means that The Troubles with Spells will now be getting a cover that 's more in keeping with the design of book three, Blood of the White Witch, we couldn't leave out book two, The Demon Kiss!  It will be getting a new cover to match the look as well.  The above photo will give you an idea of the current mock-ups, but be aware these are not the official images yet.  We will post those as soon as we get them!

If all of that NEW doesn't excite you, then try this one.  After the re-release of book one, all of the books will also be made available in e-book format, usable on every e-reader currently available on the market.  This means instant downloads of the series at the extremely reasonable price of $3.99 per book!

So when is all of this NEW stuff happening?  These projects are all currently in the works as you read this post with a projected time frame of the end of February 2011, if everything goes on schedule!

Be sure to keep an eye out for the release of book four, The Dark Rising, this coming year also!  It will be release sometime in April!

In other news, you may have noticed we've streamed lined the site a bit, getting rid of some of the pages.  There are too many reviews of the books to keep up with on a review page now, so we suggest you search the books on sites like Goodreads, to check out other reader/blogger reviews. 

Also, any upcoming media events such as book tours/signings will now be posted on the home page for easier viewing access.  There should be a book tour happening in March.  We'll post those dates when we get them! We will post links here to new blog/radio/television interviews with Lacey as well.

You may have noticed a new page listed in the navigation bar.  The Delusional Diaries is Lacey's book review site, so hop on over there for some of her reviews on some great books by other authors that are out there right now.

Of course, we kept our fan favorite pages.  The Sample Chapters page will give you a little taste of all the books that are currently published, including chapter one of book three now, and the Character Stories page has some fun little tales in it too.  And there was no way we would get rid of one of the most popular pages on the site, the Matt Lanter page.  That page rakes in hundreds of hits daily and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to promote Matt!  He's such a great person, and we can't stop loving him since he was the inspiration behind our beloved Vance Mangum.  So be sure to check him out and give him some support too!

We hope you will keep coming back to check out the new things that happen with us this year, and we hope that you will all have a great NEW YEAR too!!  Be Safe!!

Second Edition of The Trouble with Spells coming!

All of us here at the Of Witches and Warlocks camp are very excited to announce the impending arrival of a second edition of book one in the series, The Trouble with Spells.  This book is going to be reproduced by the wonderful publisher for the second two books in the series, Global Author's Publications. 

The original version of book one was in advertently produced with the unedited version of the manuscript in it.  This new edition will have the correct version of the story which will include a new cover design, more description, several unread scenes that weren't in the current edition, and of course, none of the grammatical errors that made it into that copy!  Estimated arrival time for the new edition is projected to be at the end of February 2011, so keep an eye out for it!

New Review

Here's another chance to sample a bit of book 3, Blood of the White Witch, with a new review that has been posted at Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory book reviews.

First Book Review for Blood of the White Witch

As many of you know, book three in the Of Witches and Warlocks series, Blood of the White Witch is coming out in October.  A few select book reviewers were given the opportunity to review the ARC of this book before publication.  Here is the very first review of that book that has been released.  You can view it by clicking HERE to go to the host site The Bookish Snob.  More reviews will be forthcoming and we will post links here as well so keep checking back!

Slight alteration to cover for book 3!

A while back we had a contest and let readers pick their favorite cover design for book three, Blood of the White Witch.  There was an unfortunate hard drive crash shortly afterward and that original file was lost.  We carefully worked on the recreation of that file to get it looking as close as we could to what it was before.  There were a couple of font changes to the cover, but during the redesign we decided to add an image into it too.  So thank you for your votes, and we hope you will enjoy the cover changes to book 3 because we think it really enhances the look!!  Enjoy!

And the Winner is????

For those of you who missed it, we held a contest here today to give away the Season 2 DVD of 90210 in honor of 90210 day!  To win the DVD contestants had to enter their best pick up line they would use to try and pick up actor Matt Lanter, who plays the hottie Liam Court on 90210!  When the contest was over we sent the following pick up lines to Matt himself, and let him pick the winner!  Check it out!

Back cover blurb for Blood of the White Witch!

When love came knocking on the door of novice witch, Portia Mullins, in the form of handsome bad boy, Vance Mangum, she had no idea how quickly the attraction between them would escalate. Now she finds her relationship with Vance taken to a whole new level, in a way she had never dreamed possible at this point and time of her life. Yet even as the personal connection between them explodes, the two quickly find themselves in a world of shifting balances. While searching for Vance’s missing mother, they realize they are suddenly unsure of who to trust, learning that sometimes things are not always as they appear. When Vance’s demon characteristics abruptly begin to resurface again without warning, the horrible truth comes out, crashing down upon them and shattering some of their most precious dreams. Once the deadly secret is uncovered, Portia and Vance find themselves hastily rushing against the hands of time in an attempt to stop an ancient ritual from being performed. But will they be successful before fate reaches out to twist them cruelly, possibly separating them and changing magic forever? Passion, loyalties, powers, and family ties, will all be tested when dangerous adventures abound in this third installment in the Of Witches and Warlocks series, Blood of the White Witch.
