BLOOD TIES Now Available for Purchase!!!

Blood Ties is finally out and available for purchase! Yay! I've been so excited to share this one with everyone, and not only this but the whole series as well as this is just the first book. 


I have really enjoyed writing about Ciran and his friends and I hope you will all enjoy reading about them too!







To celebrate the release I have set up a Goodreads Giveaway for one signed copy of the book (It will also include some swag but apparently you're not allowed to say that on Goodreads so shh!) I apologize that the giveaway has not started yet, but Goodreads changed their policy again and apparently they have to start seven days after you make one -_-

Goodreads Book Giveaway

Blood Ties

by Hazel B. West

Giveaway ends March 18, 2016.
See the giveaway details at Goodreads.

Enter Giveaway

But if you don't win the giveaway, or don't want to wait to read it, you can buy copies from the links below:



Createspace Paperback 

Paperback from Amazon

Smashwords Ebook

Kindle Ebook

Also, just so you know (and because as a Page-Flipper  I have to promote paper books over ebooks) People who buy the paperback will get two exclusive recipes in the back of the book along with the first chapter of the second book in the series An Earthly King, so buy the paperback! 


And for some more fun for the release, I thought I'd share a couple of my sketch pages with you that I did while I was coming up with the characters.

Goblins

Na Fianna

Keep and eye out for more, because I'm going to be running a Virtual Book Tour at the end of the month to promote Blood Ties where you can learn more about it. In the meantime, if you have any questions, let me know in the comments!

And don't forget to add Blood Ties to read on Goodreads!

Slainte,

Hazel

BLOOD TIES Cover Reveal!

Here we are, finally in post-production of my new novel, Blood Ties marking the first in a new series The Modern Tales of Na Fianna. And without further ado, here is the cover!

Let me know what you think!

And here is my excerpt reading, so enjoy some story time :-)

Don't forget to add Blood Ties to your to-read shelves on Goodreads!

Also, this is the perfect time to ask me anything you want to know about this new series, with the Ask the Author program on my Goodreads profile. I'd love to hear any questions you might have :-)

And remember, Blood Ties will be out for purchase next Tuesday the 16th, both in paperback and e-book, so keep a watch on it. I will also be revealing information about the upcoming release blog tour soon!

Thank you all for stopping by, I look forward to sharing more about my book with you!
