Sharing a Big Announcement from a Fave Author
M: Kate SeRine, one of our new favorite authors, had a super fun announcement this week
and we can feel pretty smug because we kind of chatted/stumbled into/guessed earlier
even though I’m just fangirl excited more than smug
J: GIDEON!
sorry.
I was overwhelmed
M: haha – yes!
J: I’m jumping up and down
and I’m so so happy that we can tell people
M: Kate SeRine is continuing her Transplanted Tales series
and Gideon is next!
J: But seriously
for everyone to understand our excitement about Gideon,
they need to read the first three – Red, The Better To See You, and Along Came A Spider
We’ll be talking more about the new one–Spider–next week. Release date Aug 1!
M: They need to read the first three, period
J: Because, well, this guy–Gideon–is super hot.
She’s made him so with the least amount of words possible
which is such talent
M: She’s kind of super talented that way
haha – there we go
on the same page again
J: Let’s just recap the hotness, shall we?
I mean, we met Nate right away
hot
but she also introduced Seth with such few words
but we still COULD NOT WAIT to meet him in the next one
and then there were the little mentions of Nicky Blue
where he sounded so, so cute, but really steaming hot at the
same time
like a hotter Sinatra
way hotter
and I, for one, couldn’t wait to read his story, just from the few words here and there about him
M: more like Brando
J: How does she DO that?
oh, yes. Brando. I’m on it.
M: I know. Each hero she writes is all swoonified
J: but I’ve never been so excited about one
even as excited as I was about those heroes
she’s just made Gideon this AMAZING character with so few mentions.
and I already want one.
WANT.
M: I’m like – Nate’s my favorite kind of hero. Oooh, Seth is. No wait, Nicky. Yes. Nicky. But
wait, Gideon.
She manages to hit all the buttons
all of them
and not just the hero buttons
J: And I can’t wait to see his actual spot in the Fairy Tale lore
oh, talk buttons
then we’ll discuss his possible character
M: She hits the heroine buttons, too. And story. And plot. And
characterization. And suspense. Fun. Mystery, worldbuilding. Cleverness.
I have so much love for her writing
just perfect escapism
J: exactly
so
my guess on Gideon is that he’s more than he’s appeared to be so far
It would be hard to write a whole book about a peripheral character
so I’m wondering if she’s going to bust out some secret fairy tale
M: or literary character
J: the frog prince?
M: or maybe the heroine is a Tale?
whatever it is, I’m looking forward to the unexpected and clever
J: I’m sure it will be so amazing
who could the heroine be?
who’ve we met so far?
maybe Cindy gets her real Prince Charming?
M: ooh, I did think Cindy needed a good story and turnaround
or the DA – Mary Contrary
the snarky one
there’s a story there, I think
maybe we can convince Kate to tell or give a hint
J: I’m for that. gentle persuasion. blackmail. whatever it takes
M: exactly. we must know so we can discuss and contemplate
and then before we get Gideon’s story, we get more of Nate and Red
Grimm Consequences – a short about the trials and tribulations that were hinted at in the last two books
like a extra little bonus to tide us over while we wait. I think that one will be released February 2014.
J: siiiiigh
Nate
Look, I really loved Nicky and Seth
But there’s still something about Nate
and the depth of his devotion
he loved the longest
it wasn’t a “hey, she’s cute”
he loved her for years and bided his time
and that…
well, aside from the slight stalker angle
is just so effing sweet
when he told his story, I was just tied up inside
all breathless and near tears.
just unf
M: Nate was my favorite
But Seth was sooo sexy
and I loved Nicky Blue
J: oh yes
M: sigh. Nicky…
J: they’re all amazing for various reasons
M: I have such serious sexy fun love for this series
I rec to everyone, and I haven’t heard anyone who has been disappointed
J: I need everyone to read it
M: Kate’s giving away a copy of one of the first three Transplanted tales novels–winner’s choice.
J: wonder if we’re allowed to win. I wouldn’t mind something with her signature on it
M: yes, a signed paper copy of RED and swag!
We all must enter.
J: I WANT SWAG
Is it a rafflecopter?
M: plus, on top of all the talented awesomeness, Kate’s a super nice person.
yes, a rafflecopter entry through the end of the week
enter, enter!
J: you got it. I’m going to enter rtfn
