Featured Fiction CATCHING JORDAN Bonus Content!


We are so excited to be featuring CATCHING JORDAN by Miranda Kenneally this month as our Featured FictionWe love Miranda and her first book CATCHING JORDAN which is available in stores everywhere now. 
AND this... this is AWESOME!!  Thanks to Miranda we have a Bonus Chapter which occurs around Christmas, nine months before CATCHING JORDAN takes place.  This makes us VERY happy and we think you'll feel the same!!  Show Miranda some love in the comments and if you haven't picked up CATCHING JORDAN yet, visit our Featured Fiction Page and pick up a copy today!!  



“Guys Do Not Do Secret Santa”
Junior Year Following the Event that Shall Not Be Discussed: 
Me Blowing the Tennessee State Championship Football Game
(Nine months before the events of CATCHING JORDAN)
“I know you want them.”
“I know I want them,” Henry replies, rolling his eyes at the laptop screen. “But they’re $99.95. Why don’t they just make them $100? Really. Why would anyone think saving five cents would be a deal?”
“I’ll buy them for you.”
“You’re not buying them for me.”

I lean against his shoulder and stare at the picture of the gloves. They’re perfect for a wide-receiver, and well, Henry’s a perfect wide-receiver. Maybe I could tell his girlfriend, Carrie, to buy them for him for Christmas. He’d never accept them if I bought them for him. It would hurt his pride too much, even if we are best friends. He needs a great pair of gloves if he expects to play well next season. I’m hoping he’ll get a scholarship.
Henry goes on, “I could find five cents in JJ’s ass –”
“Gross,” I reply, elbowing him, knocking him over to his side of the bed. “I’m exhausted. Let’s pass out,” I say with a yawn. 
He shuts the laptop, sets it on my bedside table, and moves to lie down next to me.
“We have to sleep head-to-toe. You know Mom’s orders, man,” I say.

About the author:

Lani Woodland has been an avid reader since elementary school when she first discovered the Babysitters Club and Sweet Valley Twins series. In sixth grade she began writing plays and recruiting (with force when necessary) her friends to act them out. Most of these early works were inspired by She-Ra, the epitome of girl power to her young self. She graduated from BYU with a BS in Family Science. Lani has always loved scary stories, and has a hard time enjoying any book without at least a little romance in it. She lives in Southern California with her husband, their two children and a large collection of board games. 

You can find Lani on: Twitter, on her blog, on her website and on Goodreads
You can order her book at the following places: AmazonSmashwords

by clicking on the banner!



Before you can respond, Stace’s loud voice interrupts you. “What’s up with the lack of music?”

You don’t want to admit you were too freaked by Des’s trick to put it back on so you shrug.

“Feel free to put some on.” She holds out her ipod and smiles. “Good thing my Halloween playlist is here to save you.” She heads up towards the attic, ipod clutched firmly.

Des and Tara start making out on your couch.

“Listen, there’s something I want to tell you,” Michael says. He’s leaning in so closely to you can feel his breath tickle your neck. It gives you goosebumps. “But not here. Let’s go for a walk.”

You instantly think of the dock and smile. “I know just the place.”
**

The dock is dark and empty, and a fog has rolled in. It’s moody and romantic and perfect. Michael looks both happy and nervous- a good sign that he’s gearing up to make a move.

“I was starting to think you guys weren’t coming,” you admit.

“Yeah, some of the guys thought it would be funny to try and scare you while you were all alone.”

“Des,” you mutter. “What a jerk. Did Stace talk him out of it?”

Michael nods and you smile in relief. You could always count on Stace.

Michael rubs his hand through his hair and looks nervous. “I don’t know how much time we’ll have before someone comes out and interrupts us, so I just want to say…”

He pauses and your heart beats in anticipation. It’s all you can do not to shake him to get him to talk faster.

 “…you look amazing,” he finally says. His eyes travel freely up and down your body. You can tell he appreciates your skimpy costume.

“You look pretty amazing yourself.”

Michael wastes no more time. He steps forwards, his eyes intense, and cups your face in his hand. Goosebumps erupt all over your skin as you anticipate his lips touching yours. He leans in slowly, and you smile as you feel his eagerness radiating off him.

“I’ve wanted to do this for a long time but you were always surrounded by your friends or busy with your family. “ He is staring at your lips. “I wanted to wait until Halloween to do this so it would be special.”

“Then don’t waste any more time,” you reply before leaning in.

Your lips meet. His kiss is confident and you return it eagerly. Your kissing grows more passionate as Michael trails kisses from your mouth down to your neck. A sigh of pleasure escapes your lips. Michael is taking this further than you had thought, and you don’t mind at all. Your body reacts with excitement as you begin to wonder just how far Michael is willing to go out on the dock, but then you jump at his painful nibble on your neck.

“I’m sorry,” Michael says, looking embarrassed. “I got carried away.”

You press your hand to your neck and pull it away to check for blood. There’s a small smear, but you can tell it’s nothing serious.

That’s when you hear a banging noise, and your head jerks around to see where it’s coming from. The figure of Stace is visible from the attic window. You realize Stace must have been watching you, and you wonder why she would be so rude as to interrupt.

That’s when you notice she’s screaming. You can’t hear it because of the music Stace has blaring from the house, but you can see her mouth open wide as she beats on the window. A dark shadow rises behind her and Stace turns around to face him. The figure crashes into her and Stace disappears from view. You feel a scream tunneling up your throat but then you catch a glimpse of the attacker’s face and it’s Des in that stupid mask again.

 Instantly your fear morphs into annoyance. “I thought you said Stace talked Des out of his stupid prank.”

“She did.”

“Then why is she pretending to be murdered in my attic? Excuse me for a minute, I need to talk to her. I’ll be right back.”

You stride purposely towards the house, determined to tell Stace off. The patio door is wide open. You step over the threshold, and head for the attic.

Sure enough, the dark figure is still there, wearing a lame monster mask, hovering over Stace.

“Hey Stace, thanks a lot for ruining my make-out session with Michael. And Des, Michael already told me about your stupid prank.”

The dark figure shies away from you and you tsk and roll your eyes. “You’re not scaring me, especially not with a cheap mask from the drug store.” You reach up and snatch the mask off, ready to smack the stupid grin off Des’s drunken face.

But the mask won’t come off. Instead your fingers clench into spongy flesh, like a cold corpse and you realize there is no mask. This is really this monster’s face. You scream and practically step on Stace as you back up. You grab her wrist, to pull her up, but her hand is too limp, too cold. There is no pulse. She’s dead. You let go and make a run for the door. The music is still blaring strong, but it’s unnaturally quiet downstairs, and as you descend the staircase, you realize why. Everyone is gone. You yell out their names, but there is no answer. Des and Tara are no longer playing tonsil hockey on the couch.

You make a run for the front door but it’s locked. You twist the bolt, bruising your fingers as you force it to move, but it won’t budge. In desperation you flee for the back door, still wide open. You remember Michael, waiting for you at the dock, and hope beats in your chest. Michael will know what to do.

Your foot catches on something as you run and you trip and fall hard. Pain runs through your scraped-up leg, but adrenaline tells you to keep running. You stumble to your feet and look behind you, sure the white-faced man must be right behind you, but he’s nowhere to be seen.

You check to see what you fell over. It’s a body. No, two bodies. Your hands tremble as you bend down and start shaking whoever they are.

You’re so frightened you can hear yourself gasping for air, but you keep telling yourself they are just drunk and passed out. You need to get them out, but neither will wake up. With a grunt you roll them over. One of them is wearing a mask. You rip it from his face and it’s Des. And next to him, lying in blood, is Tara. Again you fumble for a pulse. There isn’t one. They’re dead too. You scream so loud your throat burns. Michael appears at the back door and you sob in relief.

“Michael! You need to call the police! We have to get out of here!” The monster from the attic appears behind Michael and you shout like a scream queen. “Behind you!”

He turns and looks at the monster. He doesn’t even flinch. Michael looks at you again. “Don’t worry. Everything is fine.”

Michael steps across the threshold. “Don’t worry, my love. It’s all going according to plan.”

You startle at his strange words. “According to plan?”

“I’ve been planning this for months. My friend here agreed to help me out.” He slaps the monster on the shoulder with a friendly pat. “You have no idea how long it took me to arrange all of this. I told you, I wanted this Halloween to be special. And now it will be.” 

He smiles and his incisor teeth elongate into razor-sharp fangs. His eyes gleam red, and you realize that Michael was the one behind this all along.

“You killed them? You killed them all?” You manage to say through your terror.

“Of course. I had to convince you to join me in the afterlife and I knew you wouldn’t come as long as you still had your family and friends around. So I cleared them off for you. I was surprised you hadn’t noticed your parents dead in the attic earlier. Now there’s nothing to hold you here. We can finally be together.”

He grins wider. You want to scream and run but you’re frozen, too scared to move.

“I told you I wanted this night to be special. Happy Halloween.” He lunges, and your world goes dark.

Keeping silent about SILENCE

We just want to remind everyone that SILENCE is embargoed and should not be available ANYWHERE until October 4th. 

 If you are lucky enough to stumble upon a copy accidentally placed out early.. Becca has asked that you hold off on posting anything about it until after October 4 including reviews, updates, etc. She & her team have worked really hard to keep things quiet until the release & we know she would really appreciate all of us helping :-) 

THANKS!!! and to the lucky early readers... ENJOY!!!!!!! 

In the meantime we're just going to keep re-reading this.... and having fun with this and this and watching this

AND we're following the SILENCE Blog Tour, now on day 4.  Today's stop is over at Girls in the Stacks.  The tour began on FallenArchangel and will end here on October 4th with a GRAND PRIZE GIVEAWAY and Release Day Party!!!

A Big Finish to a BIG Day

The first chapter of SILENCE was released.
Simon & Schuster and Becca announced that she'll be writing a 4th book in the Hush, Hush Saga.
MTV's Hollywood Crush Blog shared the SILENCE book trailer.

WOW.



Could this week get any better for all of us Hush Hush fans?

Yep.


How would YOU like to be one of the Lucky Dozen?

What's the Lucky Dozen you ask?


FallenArchangel is hosting a live chat with the amazing author herself. That's right. We're hosting a chat with Becca!  But this will be no ordinary chat. Only 12 very lucky fans will be invited to talk to Becca that night about SILENCE, writing, the fact that there will be a 4th book (we're still freaking out about the awesome news), Patch, and just about anything else Hush, Hush related that you can think of.


And, in honor of this special day jam packed with Patch and Nora (and, of course, Becca) goodness, we're giving away the first spot in the Lucky Dozen!


All you have to do is enter your information at the bottom of this post. That's it! And if you're name isn't selected this time, no worries. You'll have 11 more chances to snag one of the coveted spots in the coming weeks. The chat won't take place until Becca is home and settled from her touring so stay tuned for more info on date and time, but keep an eye on our site, Twitter and Facebook...you never know when we'll be giving away another spot in the Lucky Dozen. Hmmm, like maybe a special day like October 4th?

Good Luck!

Calling All Hush, Hush Fans...

We hope you had as much fun as we did last year when we shared teaser CRESCENDO quotes
leading up to the release day. Because of the embargo on SILENCE we don't be able to share
 teasers with you this time, but have no fear, we have a plan to fill the void.

And we need YOUR help!

Starting today (Friday September 9th) we're asking all of you Hush Hush Fans out there to send in your favorite quotes from HUSH, HUSH and CRESCENDO. We will randomly select quotes to feature (on our site, Twitter, Facebook) each day during the 2 weeks leading up to the release of SILENCE.

To make it even more fun we're going to incorporate a contest!
One winner from the fans who submit quotes and one winner from the fans
who vote will be chosen to win a SILENCE book and poster.

Hopefully you're already re-reading both books with our other contest so picking out your
favorite quotes will be easy, plus you'll have even more chances to win a book or poster!

Happy Reading and Good Luck.  We can't wait to read your favorite quotes!

*Submissions will close Sunday September 18th at midnight EST*

Sometimes sorry isn't enough....



It's winter break in Ascension, Maine. The snow is falling and everything looks pristine and peaceful. But not all is as it seems... Between cozy traditions and parties with her friends, Emily loves the holidays. And this year's even better--the guy she's been into for months is finally noticing her. But Em knows if she starts things with him, there's no turning back. Because his girlfriend is Em's best friend. On the other side of town, Chase is having problems of his own. The stress of his home life is starting to take its toll, and his social life is unraveling. But that's nothing compared to what's really haunting him. Chase has done something cruel...something the perfect guy he pretends to be would never do. And it's only a matter of time before he's exposed. In Ascension, mistakes can be deadly. And three girls—three beautiful, mysterious girls—are here to choose who will pay.  Em and Chase have been chosen.

We want to see Patch with YOU!

Hopefully you've all seen the incredibly awesome Facebook App Simon & Schuster has created to help us all get ready for SILENCE. If you haven't then feast your eyes on this...

*SWOON*


We've (sorry Nora!) had a total blast putting our faces alongside Patch (AKA Drew Doyon) and now we want to see how you two look together. And as if seeing yourself in Patch's arms isn't enough, we're making this a contest!

Here are the details.

1. Use the Patch and You Facebook App. *Take as much time as you need to stare at the image, your secret is safe with us*

2. Share the image thru midnight EST Sunday August 14th. Use it once or as many times you like! The App let's you share it a number of ways or save it to your computer, so you have lots of options. Use it as your profile pic on Facebook or Twitter, share it on your blog or even make it your avatar on the Fallenarchangel forum. All we require is that you provide a link to where we can find it and leave it up for the full 3 day of the contest.

3. Enter the contest by filling out the form at the bottom of this blog post. All you need is your full name, email address, mailing address (which will only be used to mail you your prize if you are selected as a winner) and a link to where we can find that hot picture of Patch and YOU!

Now for the good stuff...prizes!

We will randomly select 1 winner for each of the 3 days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday)

Friday's winner
HUSH, HUSH poster

Saturday's winner
CRESCENDO poster
*featuring the alternate cover image with Patch & Nora*

Sunday's winner
Hardcover copy of HUSH, HUSH with the cover signed by Drew Doyon

Even Becca got in on the fun!

We can't wait to see all of your gorgeous faces with Patch!
Good luck to all who enter and thank you for spreading the SILENCE love as we wait for
