Yesterday, the authors of the Souls and Shadows collection hit the USA TODAY’s Best-Selling Books list. We made it to number 128, neatly snuggled between Ryan T. Higgins and E. L. James, and we are in the company of famous authors like Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, Angie Thomas or S.E. Hinton.
It’s unbelievable.
And it is you, you amazing, supporting readers who made it possible for my dream to come true. I have written Lost Moon, but you showed you kindness and love throughout the whole process. Even more, when it seemed that all was lost. This never-ending support means more to me than I can put into words right now.
Last week, I said that I felt like a character in one of my own novel, with all the ups and heartbreaking downs. Since yesterday, I’m more like a character in a John Irving novel where all kind of crazy things can happen. Only an hour before I heard the good news, I was shopping and an old man fell into my arms—literally. I had to call the ambulance, give him a kind of primary medical care. I held him and talked to him while we waited for the ambulance.
This moment grounded me.
There is so much in our lives we can be grateful for, small things and big things alike. If we had not made it to the list, I’d have been sad beyond words, but the world would not have ended. More importantly, this incident showed me that no kindness goes ever unnoticed.
Your kindness didn’t, either. I will write the best stories for you I can think of.
Lots of love and hugs for every single one of you.
Jenny
PS: The old man is fine. I called the hospital this morning and was told that he is currently having some check-ups, but not in mortal danger as I presumed.
We authors of Souls and Shadows had a rough week and it’s not over yet, but all’s well that ends well. At least that is what one of the greatest authors ever encourages us to believe, and I decided to trust Shakespeare.
Before I tell you the good news, let me explain this infamous launch glitch everyone involved with our boxset is talking about. One of our retailers made a mistake and delivered the wrong file to readers who were kind enough to preorder. Consequently, the set was pulled from sale for three days and got a review notice. The review notice is not lifted yet, BUT you can not only buy Souls and Shadows, but read the entire book.
Today is the last day you can get the 20+ novels for 99 Cents. If you haven’t ordered our boxset yet, please consider buying it today. Not because I already felt the sparkling crown of the USA Today Bestseller title on already on my head, but because you will miss a bunch of enticing stories.
This is your last chance to get over 20 stories for less than a dollar. After today, the price will go up, and soon later the set won’t be available for purchase. My panther shifter Rayne and his human love Hailey from Lost Moon will re-appear after a certain time, but never again in such exclusive company and at such an amazing price.
Thank you for your patience, your encouragement and your faith in us. In me. It means a lot to me to have so many faithful readers.
For those who were waiting to order, you can get it now!
We were so close to hitting our sale targets to qualify for the USA Today bestseller list when the retailer sent the wrong file out on launch day and then blocked the book for 3 days. This three days lasting glitch left me feeling slightly undead, but I hope it’s finally fixed now and everyone can start reading. I had the hardest release week ever, and not only because of said glitch. My dog Trudy decided twice she’s old enough now to explore the world on her own.
Twenty minutes with your dog out of sight can be very, very long. When I caught her, she was not in the mood at all to walk home and stopped every other minute, sitting down on her cute ass, looking everywhere but in my direction.
If I was not sure I am a human being, I’d suspect I was a character in one of my own novels with all the excitement coming along with the release of Souls and Shadows, including my title Lost Moon.
If you haven’t heard about the box set, Souls and Shadows is a LIMITED EDITION paranormal romance and urban fantasy collection with 20+ novels written by some of today’s hottest best-selling and rising authors.
In the midst of darkened shadows, love abounds, secrets will be revealed, and souls will be set free. Escape to new worlds with dark and striking creatures and follow beautiful beasts, cunning witches, shadowy necromancers and many more as they fall in love and brave the night.

While I was extremely nervous yesterday, today I am mostly excited and happy. This is definitely one of the most amazing days of my life!

One of my fellow writers in the set Souls and Shadows, Stefan Lear, shared a very personal story with me recently. It touched my heart, broke it into a thousand pieces and at the same time put it together again.
He was kind enough to allow me to share his reason for writing. Don’t miss it. His story is incredibly honest, brutal and raw. And it will tell you why some of us not only like to write, but need it like air to breathe.

I am excited to announce over the next few weeks, I’ll be bringing you a series of excerpts from books you’ll find exclusively in Souls and Shadows which is now available for preorder. Grab your copy today!
An excerpt from Adrienne Blake’s The Necromancers Curse
Out there is a tome that could save her. Or destroy her.
The fierce, yellow eyes of the attacking wolf locked onto mine. He hesitated for the briefest moment, and then I knew—he was ready to end this. The great beast finally released me, confident in his prize. He paused to take his time. Circling, he watched as I writhed on the ground, yellow eyes narrow and calculating as he reviewed his prey and the damage he’d caused. He pounced, and my howl formed at last, only to be put out like a kicked bitch as my assailant’s jaws locked onto my throat.
An excerpt from Julie Kramer’s Of Curses and Scandals
Being a teenage sorceress is hard, especially when you work with the police.
“This is a Hunger.” He showed us a tiny mechanical snake, no bigger than my index finger and carved with runes. My magic shook its head, and I pressed my back against the pillar, the ropes straining as I shifted as far away as I could. I didn’t want that thing anywhere near me. Something about it was extremely sinister; the runes whispered of blood, betrayal, and pain. He continued. “It burrows under your skin and drains your magic, to be stored for later use. If it stays in long enough, your magic won’t regenerate.”
An excerpt from Tamar Sloan’s Child of Crossroads
Most demigods live in secret… until they’re the only ones who can save us.
I watch as Caleb disembarks after the souls. He pauses to wave, something in his smile seeming to be just for me. I wriggle my fingers back, wondering what the hell is happening to me.
As the train starts up again and heads back to Central Station, I flop back in my chair like he just took all my bones with him. I’m nothing but a puddle of smiles.
It quickly wears off, like my happiness needs Caleb to sustain it.
Or maybe… it’s what I saw in Melvin.
I shudder, wrapping my arms around myself.
Melvin’s chest was no longer empty after his soul was taken from him. Deep within the space that houses our light and spirit, a wraith had made itself comfortable. It turned his torso into a silently screaming black hole.
