It is written that three Sisters of Fate have the power to change the world’s destiny.
But only if they survive…
Kat Lockwood grew up listening to her unhinged mother’s stories about the Norse goddess souls she and her triplet sisters carry, about fiery deaths and a prophecy foretelling the world’s end. Now, to save that world, Kat must find a guy who hosts the soul of a Norse god–a warrior with the lightest blond hair and the darkest brown eyes.
But at a truck stop on her road trip, Kat freezes time while she writes out a cryptic message in runes. The only other person able to see this happen? A gorgeous guy with the lightest blond hair and the darkest brown eyes.
Kat’s not convinced peaceful Arun is the future warrior who will turn the tide in the final battle. Yet, Arun turns out to be a lot tougher than he seems. As soul-carrying teens and underworld creatures gather over the world’s deadliest volcano, Kat finds that no one, including her sisters and mother, is exactly who she thought they were….
Sisters of Fate
The prophecy doesn’t lie: one is doomed to die.

I was invited to have FORESWORN on a blog tour this year during the week of its release. I couldn’t be more excited. More than twenty blogs signed on, so there will be lots of fun things to look forward to–like dream casts!
This review of FORECAST is something else. There is nothing like seeing how much someone enjoyed your work. http://www.fiktshun.com/fiktshun/2014/08/05/review-forecast/ The personal note at the bottom is so fun, I think even my mother saved it. 😉
This is the first video blog I did for Rachel at Fiktshun. I gave her first dibs but now that the wonderful giveaway she did for my books is over, I’ll share it with my readers here. 🙂

Another wonderful review from a reader who really “got” Taran and Coral in FORECAST. There are no words for how great that feels. My characters “feel” real to me. So much. So reading that others fell for them makes it even more so for me. See this great review at Supernatural Snark!
I’ve been so lucky to be invited to some wonderful reviewer blogs this week. Here are a few places you can find me.
Supernatural Snark This interview was a blast and I’m still responding to reader comments. Having a good time. 😉
Bewitched Bookworms Another very fun interview where I share a little background about the book.
Fiktshun My first ever video blog where I answer some reader questions. There are still three days left to enter to win one of 5 sets of FORETOLD and FORECAST. The reviewer is doing this giveaway because she loves the books so much. In fact, check out this review. I can’t even describe how good this made me feel!
I’ve been really excited about the release of this book. I loved writing about Coral and Taran and am still grinning over how much my editor fell for Taran. FORECAST is the second in my Norse young adult trilogy about teens fighting to stop the end of the world. With every book, the danger escalates.

Here’s a snippet leading into one of my favorite scenes in the book.
“Dad.” Taran held up his hands. “You have to listen to me.
“I saw this locked in evidence myself.” Grady’s stare held something that ripped into my gut like a knife. It had to be shredding Taran. Horror. His father was looking at him with a mix of horror and devastation. “How is this here?”
Taran’s throat moved as he swallowed and his voice when he spoke sounded rusty. “You’re not gonna believe me.”
“Try me.”
“There’s a lot more going on here than you understand.”
His dad narrowed his eyes. “Really.”
Taran walked toward his father. “Mom was right. About everything.” He lowered his voice. “You know the stories as well as I do and it’s all coming true. Right now. The snow? The wave?”
“The giants,” breathed Josh. He stood by the front window, his face draining of color right as a thunderous crash sounded from outside.
“What?” I asked, startled.
Grady Breen beat the rest of us to the window. “What the—”
“There’s more than one.” Josh put his palms on the glass. “And they’re nothing like the one we saw last night.”
The house shook, the tea in a mug on the coffee table sloshed, and I was reminded of that scene in Jurassic Park when the T-Rex walked through the jungle. Taran and I stared at each other and I could see the acceptance settle on his face as he realized what he had to do. I held my breath, feeling the power rolling off him in waves of electricity that made the hair on my arms stand.
His dad must have felt it because he turned his shocked gaze from the window to his son, and I saw a flurry of emotions pass over his features until it all faded into a mix of determination and acceptance. “Your mom was right about all of it. I can’t believe it.” He shook his head, then squared his shoulders as another crash sounded from outside, followed by a woman’s terrified scream.
Grim came into the room, carrying the glove and the staff.
I quickly handed Taran his coat. He didn’t look away from me as he slid his arms in the sleeves. I stepped close, zipped up the coat and stood on my toes. He leaned down so our faces were even. Swallowing the fear gathering in my throat, I searched for the right words, but all I could think to say was, “Don’t die.”
Not sure I’d call this fun because I kind of suck at making buttons right now. I used to be better at this but then, I used to use Gimp and that software seems to have disappeared off my computer. So, until I find it, I’ve been playing with the idea of putting these out in case anyone would like to add them to their websites and link to the bookstores of your choice. 🙂
