You guys. This series is just getting started with Scarlett's Mark. I'm hoping to do a video about it and post here and to Facebook within the next week. There's just so much I have to say about it. I couldn't stop adding and editing this book. (I'm sure it's still far from perfect, but I'm still very proud of it.) I delayed the e-book release a few times because I couldn't stop messing with it. Finally, I said enough is enough and stuck with my deadline and finally shared it will all of you. There is so much going on in this book that it was literally impossible to cover everything, but I promise you that Book 2 will answer any questions you have from Book 1- but it will also release all new mysteries.

Book 2 is already about half written and I'm telling you, I just can't wait to have this series be several books in. I have no idea why it took me so long to get back into writing. I absolutely, positively, freakin love it.

An author thrives on their reviews so please, please, leave one if you enjoyed the book. It helps me focus on what to do better next time as well as fuels me to keep going. It also helps other potential readers to make the decision to click to purchase and read for themselves. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you, in advance for your review!

If you have any questions concerning the book, email me at jannakohlauthor@gmail.com. I will start a forum or Q&A page here soon.

xoxo,
Janna

Scarlet's Mark Cover Reveal

Thursday, June 15, 2017

It's here! It's here! I can finally unleash the pride and joy I've been working so diligently on. This book is unlike anything I've ever written before. A lot of research went into this. A lot of "stop over-analyzing" went into this. A lot of "create something new" went into this. Basically, I talked to myself a lot.


I had so much fun creating this cover. From the photography to the design, I honed over every detail. A special thank you to my model, Brooke ("Hollyn") and to my makeup artist, Taryn. For details on the look used on our model, please see notes* at bottom.

Back cover copy:

Hollyn West spent her young adult life craving a romance every girl longs for. But after several grave disappointments, she put all her dreams behind her and became unwilling to trust anyone again. 

With the help of close friends and new acquaintances, she chases secrets centuries old and discovers she is a descendant of the original white were-panther– making her royalty in the supernatural realm. Where she once felt practically non-existent, she now is being hunted by creatures more dangerous than she ever thought existed.

But Hollyn is not alone in fulfilling her new-found purpose to keep peace between the vampires and werewolves. Several men come into her life almost simultaneously– all dying to prove they need her for more than her life-altering blood. Who is being selfless in their desires for her and how much is she willing to risk to keep everyone she cares about safe?

More teasers and chapter snippets will be available leading up to the release in late July 2017.

Please join the mailing list (at right) to be informed of events and book releases.

*Products used were: cream foundation in "Velour," liquid concealer in "Scarlet," bronzer in "Sunset," palette 3 on the eyes using the color "Irate," and Splash liquid lipstick in "Stoic." To purchase, visit Taryn's website here.

Beta Readers and Street Team Members Needed

Tuesday, June 13, 2017

As I'm preparing for the release of Scarlet's Mark, I am in need of two things:

Click on the link if you are unsure of what a beta reader is. Please email me at janna.n.kohl@gmail.com if you are interested. I will have ARC (Advanced Reading Copy) links ready in a couple weeks and want to prepare.

2. Street Team members. (Spiffy team name is in the works.)

A Facebook group has been created to keep everyone informed of the happenings before the general public knows. As a member you will also receive "street gear" including marketing materials like bookmarks, postcards and other things. I am currently coming up with some pretty awesome things for this group like giveaways that include signed books, posters, and other merchandise that I'm really excited about. Fill out this form to apply.

I am incredibly humbled by the response I've received so far and I'm so appreciative of the outpouring of love received from my friends and family. Thank you so much for making this journey incredible... and we're just getting started!

Cover Model Selected

Sunday, June 4, 2017

A cover model was recently chosen to portray Hollyn, the lead in The Dark Hearts Saga. I could not be happier for her to join this "team" as her enthusiasm for this series is exactly what I'd hope for. Her test images have already hit Hollyn's character perfectly. I am so eager to photograph her for the cover release very soon.

We are also discussing maybe a little acting and video teasers for certain scenes from the book. I'm fully prepared to bring a good mix of images and video shorts to compliment this book series.

I will introduce our Hollyn to you soon!

Dreams Do Come True

Thursday, May 18, 2017

... or so I'm hoping. I'm being optimistic about my journey. Whether I'm successful in this endeavor or not, doesn't matter as much to me as much as how proud I am of my work and the friends I will meet (and have met thus far) along the way.

It has been my dream since I was very young, to be a published writer. I have published a few stories and one novel under a different name, but I am excited to branch into something somewhat newer with my debut series which is currently untitled. Yes, I am aiming for a July 2017 release, but have been having a very difficult time naming this series and the first book. I'm picky. Very picky to say the least. I have some ideas though and hope to release a name very soon. Please join my mailing list to stay up to date on such releases... I promise I won't be sending out more than an email or two a week.

It's a gorgeous day in Maryland today– high 80's! So I'm going to enjoy this day with the window open while I write... What? Did you think I was going to enjoy it outside? Ha. I'm a vampire. I'd burn.

xoxo,
