Book Trailer: Stillhouse Lake by Rachel Caine

*This post may contain Affiliate links

 

Synopsis:

 Gina Royal is the definition of average—a shy Midwestern housewife with a happy marriage and two adorable children. But when a car accident reveals her husband’s secret life as a serial killer, she must remake herself as Gwen Proctor—the ultimate warrior mom.

With her ex now in prison, Gwen has finally found refuge in a new home on remote Stillhouse Lake. Though still the target of stalkers and Internet trolls who think she had something to do with her husband’s crimes, Gwen dares to think her kids can finally grow up in peace.

But just when she’s starting to feel at ease in her new identity, a body turns up in the lake—and threatening letters start arriving from an all-too-familiar address. Gwen Proctor must keep friends close and enemies at bay to avoid being exposed—or watch her kids fall victim to a killer who takes pleasure in tormenting her. One thing is certain: she’s learned how to fight evil. And she’ll never stop.

Absolutely loved reading Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine and was super excited when she revealed the next book in The Great Library Series, Paper and Fire.  The expected publication date for this is 5th July 2016.

Synopsis
With an iron fist, The Great Library controls the knowledge of the world, ruthlessly stamping out all rebellion, forbidding the personal ownership of books in the name of the greater good.

Jess Brightwell has survived his introduction to the sinister, seductive world of the Library, but serving in its army is nothing like he envisioned. His life and the lives of those he cares for have been altered forever. His best friend is lost, and Morgan, the girl he loves, is locked away in the Iron Tower and doomed to a life apart.

Embarking on a mission to save one of their own, Jess and his band of allies make one wrong move and suddenly find themselves hunted by the Library’s deadly automata and forced to flee Alexandria, all the way to London.

But Jess’s home isn’t safe anymore. The Welsh army is coming, London is burning, and soon, Jess must choose between his friends, his family, or the Library willing to sacrifice anything and anyone in the search for ultimate control…

Waiting on Wednesday (149)

I am an absolute huge fan of Rachel Caine's Morganville Vampires series, so when I was looking through the Listopia on Goodreads and spotted this book I was over the moon.  Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine's expected publication is the 7th July 2015.

Synopsis
In an exhilarating new series, New York Times bestselling author Rachel Caine rewrites history, creating a dangerous world where the Great Library of Alexandria has survived the test of time.…

Ruthless and supremely powerful, the Great Library is now a presence in every major city, governing the flow of knowledge to the masses. Alchemy allows the Library to deliver the content of the greatest works of history instantly—but the personal ownership of books is expressly forbidden.

Jess Brightwell believes in the value of the Library, but the majority of his knowledge comes from illegal books obtained by his family, who are involved in the thriving black market. Jess has been sent to be his family’s spy, but his loyalties are tested in the final months of his training to enter the Library’s service.

When he inadvertently commits heresy by creating a device that could change the world, Jess discovers that those who control the Great Library believe that knowledge is more valuable than any human life—and soon both heretics and books will burn.…

Rachel Caine Blogger-Breakfast, Brisbane

I was lucky enough to be invited by the awesome people at Penguin Australia to attend a Blogger-only breakfast with bestselling Author Rachel Caine!

You can imagine how excited I was to finally meet  Rachel Caine, AND fellow Queensland bloggers Brittany from Nice Girls Read Books and Lisa from Badass Bookie.  So the last couple of days have been filled with random "Oh My God" every so often while working, with no explanation whatsoever.  This is why! lol

But I must say that getting there was an adventure within itself!

Determined to be prepared for today I was up all night last night until just after 12 making sure I had everything ready for the morning.  I stayed at Mum's house so I could get up and go, and leave the little one still asleep (alot easier getting ready without him swinging off my leg). 

Disaster no 1.  Despite the two alarms I set for 5am, Mum comes in at 5:30 to wake me up.  First thought - I haven't slept long enough, give me five more minutes, Second thought - Holy **** I'm meant to be at the train station in 20 minutes.  I can't miss that!

Disaster no 2.  I miss the train I was meant to be on and as I'm walking down the stairs the second train turns up,  I forget to scan the go card (never used it before) and get on!  I spend the next half hour on my iPhone doing some last minute brush ups on the Morganville Vampire Books (Gotta love Wikipedia and Goodreads)

Disaster no 3.  Just a note - When in a hurry, DO NOT TRUST GOOGLE MAPS!  That being said I started following said maps and realise that I have walked a block in the OPPOSITE direction of where I'm meant to be going! lol.

Main thing is I got there in time, and just a warning for those coming from Adelaide Street way to get to Medina Executive, there is one steep hill to get to reception! (Picture above does not do that hill justice.  Alot steeper in real life lol)

The breakfast was delicious and the atmosphere was so relaxed that I wondered why I had been nervous to begin with!  We were even lucky to receive some goodies including official residency in Morganville thanks to the Id card Rachel Caine brought for us, as well as a very funky looking bookmark. 

Rachel was so easy going and willing to answer every question we threw her way.  We also got a few little hints for what we might expect for Book 11 Last Breath which will be out in November this year.  I can't wait. 

Felicity, Marketing Manager of Penguin was just equally as cool and it was awesome to finally meet her as well.  I'm sure I drove her nuts with my emails leading up to the Blogger Breakfast!

After brekky, Rachel was kind enough to do some booksigning and have some photos taken.

Afterwards I hung out with Brittany and Brett doing some serious bookhunting around Brisbane before I had to venture on back to work!  It was good to be able to just talk books with someone else who loved them just as much as I do. (Lisa we wish you could have been there too)  I would have loved to stay for the booksigning but maybe next time :)

I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to the Penguin Group, Rachel Caine, Felicty, Brittany, Lisa and Brett for an unforgettable experience.  This may be my first book blogger event but I hope to have many more down the track!  You all ROCK!!

P.S  I loved your phone cover Lisa!

P.P.S Check out the slippers I'm going to order!!  Look familiar?? :)
