4 Days Until Long Way Down

We are down to the single digits in our countdown!  By this time on Friday, November 20th, it will be a ghost town in the Fizzle Force fandom with everyone busy reading Long Way Down.

I also bring some other Addicted news.  I've been recently made aware of a shop in Spreadshirt created by the lovely Lanie who now runs her very own blog, Aholically Aholic.  Aholically Aholic's shop in Spreadshirt features some very cool bookish items, along with some very awesome Addicted series inspired products such as these:

So go check out the shop and browse around!

Now, I'm über excited to share this next news!  There is now a GERMAN EDITION of ADDICTED TO YOU !  It's coming April 2016, published by Sieben Verlag, and you can pre-order it here ➜ http://www.amazon.de/dp/B017SYDM9G.  I still can't get over how beautiful the cover is!

It's so very exciting that Addicted series is making it's way around the world!  I'm totally freaking out!!!!

Speaking of freaking out and very exciting things, tomorrow starts the week-long blog tour for Long Way Down!!!  If you've been a fan of Krista & Becca for a while and have followed their previous blog tours, you will know how super-freaking amazing they are!  Expect no less!!  Get ready for lots of fun and lots (and lots!) of bonus material!  You can view the schedule HERE.

17 Days Until Long Way Down

It's November!!!  There are so many awesome reads that are releasing this month and we're nearly halfway through with the countdown until Long Way Down will finally be in our e-readers for devouring!

So, today I have a little treat for you all.  Over the past year, I've created some book trailers and other videos for the Addicted Series.  I have a video for Lily + Lo (LiLo) which is a book trailer for Addicted to You, a video for Lo from the time he was nominated for NA Crush Tourney in 2014, a "tv commercial" for Princesses of Philly from Kiss the Sky, a "tv ad" for Rose's Calloway Couture, and a video for Connor Cobalt.  You may have noticed that nowhere in that list is a video of Ryke + Daisy (Raisy) or of Hothouse Flower.  Trust me, it's not that they are my least favorite couple because that is so very far from the truth!  It's that I just couldn't come up with any good ideas or think of where to even start.  And then work kinda got in the way and I just had less and less time blogging or even any free time for myself, really.

Yep.  That's my life.  But I'm not here to talk about work!  Work is boring.

On to more exciting stuff!!!!  With Long Way Down due to be released soon, I decided to start re-reading Hothouse Flower.  After a few pages in, some ideas started forming in my head and all the feels started coming back to me.  Then I just happened to hear a song that truly reminded me of Raisy and it was this song that inspired me to start creating their video using it as the background music.  I was truly elated when I finally finished it and I've been DYING to share it with all of you!!  I very much enjoyed making this video and I hope you all enjoy watching it.  May it bring some of the Raisy memories back from Hothouse Flower and get you all pumped to read Long Way Down!

So, here it is, my book trailer for Hothouse Flower.

Hope you enjoy it!  Fizzle out!!

The Countdown Begins: 30 Days Till Long Way Down

It's so crazy how time flies (or drags, depending on your perception)!!  Today starts the 30 day countdown until Long Way Down is released!  Can I get a HELL YEAH!?

Gosh! Just think, the end is almost near!  November 20th will be here before we know it!!!!

(I'm obviously having mixed feelings about this...I feel like Rapunzel and her mood swings)

Title: Fuel the Fire

Authors: Krista & Becca Ritchie

Series: Calloway Sisters #3

Pub Date: April 3, 2015

SUMMARY

Protect your family.  At all costs.

It'd take the impossible to hurt Connor Cobalt, even for a moment.

Protect your family.  At all costs.

At twenty-six, his narcissistic tendencies have made room for the people he loves.

Protect your family.  At all costs.

And he loves Rose.  But when his love is threatened, when his greatest dreams with her are compromised — what is the cost then?

Protect your family.  At all costs.

Love will guide his choices.

For the first time in his life.

Krista & Becca Ritchie are identical twins—one a science nerd, the other a comic book geek—but with their shared passion for writing, they combined their mental powers as kids and have never stopped telling stories. Now in their early twenties, they write about other twenty-somethings navigating through life, college, and romance. They love superheroes, flawed characters, and soul mate love.

They are the New Adult authors of the Addicted series and Calloway Sisters spin-off series, and you can find them on almost every social media, frolicking around like wannabe unicorns.
