Back cover Blurb:

Unsure if she's drowning or being saved, all Marlow wants to do is run away. Ensnared in a haunting love triangle, she realizes both boys have holes in their hearts; gaping spaces she can never hope to fill.

Scars from loving the same girl, a girl who managed to stay dead.

Angela Kulig DARKSIDE + Book Release Schedule

From now until Halloween, you will be privy to Angela Kulig DARKSIDE. So what exactly is that? Well, many moons ago when I began to write young adult books I joked about needing two aliases. Angela Kulig—and a made up name to call myself when I wrote dark books.

After devoting obscene amounts of time and energy building my online personality I decided it would likely never be worth it. I

Tomorrow I am announcing that I have joined forces with a start up publisher, and laying out my first book with them--but as promised I am showing my book release schedule for the end of the year. The book I am announcing tomorrow is blacked out *wink wink*

Angela Kulig DARKSIDE is for all my dark paranormal books. I do not write true horror.

It’s Official. You Can Now Add PIGMENTS OF MY IMAGINATION on Goodreads.com

Good! Because Mel M. was going to drive me insane about it. Pigments of My Imagination comes out 11-11-11 as part of the DARK C.A.R.M.A. Tour which I will be talking about extensively as soon as there are fancy blog buttons to go along with it.

But until then add me:

PigmentsOfMyImagination-CoverC1

I guess I could be persuaded to give something awesome away if enough people add it this week. Hint hint.

Remember Me? PIGMENTS OF MY IMAGINATION, (confirmed release date)

PigmentsOfMyImagination-CoverC1

I hope so, because I just agreed to publish it 11-11-11 in a collaborative effort called the Dark. C.A.R.M.A tour—but more on that soon.

Pigments of My Imagination, is a YA semi-supernatural romance. You can read the first chapter for free here:

Pigments of My Imagination First Chapter

Because this week is all about me leaving you in horrible suspense, I have a few other things I’d like to bring up. SKELETON LAKE, BARNEBY KNOTTS, HEROES & VALLENEZ, and a publisher that is not Angela Kulig INK Inc—or whatever awful name I would have come up with f if I had decided to become a publisher myself.

Squirming yet? Did you know, that Pigments of My Imagination is not going to be my first release? Bet that got your attention, but I can’t talk about it until I have permission! I will however, give you a little hint.

Just in time for Halloween,

this book rattles and shakes,

it makes you scream!

Though it boasts a many beasts,

there are no vampires, wolves,

or girls caught in between.

Yes it’s best you do not linger,

for this body will beget more

than unearthly pruney fingers.

A watery grave signals the end,

but that’s where this book

has to begin.

Don’t get SCORNED! Read Excerpt HERE NOW!

So how bad is my three day novel contest entry? Well, probably not any worse than most of the books written in 3 days.

After checking with Mellissa over at 3DNC to make sure I wouldn’t get DQ over sharing a few paragraphs, I have decided I will share the first 200 words in honor of my 200 blog followers.

Disclaimer:
This book has not been edited, in anyway shape or form. I did not even reread these words after they were typed. I can not guarantee these words are good words, or even ENGLISH words. I would imagine there are even words that are missing, but I wanted to share these with my friends who struggle with writing books—to prove that great books don’t have to be great in the first drafts—or second drafts—or third drafts--

Prick. Blood ran down my ankle in thick straight chutes. Not noticing, and definitely not caring, I swatted at the thorny vines that threatened to ensnare me as if they were flies, and nothing more.

Only they were more— they were damaging, even damning, the only beasts left in the garden to witness my final scene. Tendrils as broad as ropes stuck to my clothes and tore further at my skin as I ran. Flames burned everything else to cinder below my feet, but they could never blister anything more than fire that raged in my heart.

Dying in this inferno, amongst the wilted charred roses, and the ghost of Christmases past seemed like a better idea than living through it.

So that had been my best idea. Find a place to lay down and croak. Curl up with the remains of much happier times and fading memories that lay buried beneath the ash. It would have done me good to remember that my plans never went off without a hitch.

On the edge of Blackwood Forest, stood a gray castle. Only we weren’t supposed to call it that. Three years ago the ignorant villagers who were in love with…

Sad that you guys will have to wait until next year to see the rest of it…
