Secret of the Souls 

Pool of Souls #2

by Terri Rochenski

Release Date: October 6, 2014

Target Reader: Adult

Keywords: Fantasy

Thrust out of their homes by a human High Priest on a vengeful mission, the Natives of Derlund no longer have a place to call their own. One escaped capture, however, and now she, Hyla, is the only one who can save her people.

For, Hyla, though, saving her nation isn’t her ultimate goal—returning to the Pool of Souls is. Becoming its Guardian and preserving their faith is her heart’s desire. The perils of her current journey, though, could leave her unable to fulfill that dream.

To find her way back to the Pool, Hyla must live among dangerous, powerful humans willing to defend the Natives, and must submit herself—her Talents—to them. While her protection is paramount, plots to end Hyla’s life will push her to her physical and emotional limits.

On the edge of sanity, her courage tested, and convictions nearly broken, Hyla’s final test of loyalty to her faith comes with the death of one she could have loved.

ADD ON GOODREADS!

Roane Publishing is giving away THREE ARCs of Love’s Sorrow!

Love's Sorrow

Means of Mercy #1

Sweet, Historical Romance

by Terri Rochenski

Release Date: April 21, 2014

Hired as a nanny for her cousin’s children, Anne Tearle finds security and a loving family. The children are a dream, but London society is a world of its own, one where a displaced farm girl has no business being. But, wealthy rake, Gavin MacKay, helps her to see associating with the upper class might not be as horrid as she first assumed.

Like all things worthwhile, love comes at a price, and the cost soon bestows more anguish than joy. Lost, but not undone, Anne must find the courage to begin life anew, or succumb to sorrow's unrelenting waves of grief.

The first in the Means of Mercy series, this historical romance has been likened to Downton Abby.

Happy Book Birthday Unnatural! #HollowayPack #PNR

UNNATURAL RELEASES TODAY!

Unnatural. One word to sum up werewolf Kyle Larsen—his mood swings, abnormal body, and choice of female.

The first two, he blames on the vampire venom.

The third, though? No, feline shifter Brook Nicholls was all his doing—a female of whom the pack will never approve.

As part of the Coalition, an organisation with even stricter rules than the pack and a rigidly warped sense of responsibility, Brook comes with a whole lot of opposition of her own.

No wonder the two of them keep their relationship secret for as long as they can.

Now, distanced from his family by his own indiscretions, Kyle’s left to fight battles he’s unsure how to win—some of them even against his own pack.

Is one woman really so important that he’s willing to defy his Alpha for her?

If his heart has any say in the matter, the answer will be yes.

To celebrate Unnatural's release, CAGED, Holloway Pack 3 is on SALE!

The UNNATURAL Blog Tour begins tomorrow, and throughout the duration of the tour, CAGED will be available for just 99c.

AND there's a GIVEAWAY!

#IWSG My name is Terri Rochenski and I feel inadequate

A special thanks to the ISWG for giving me the opportunity to share with you all today!

Alex and his team of co-hosts for today are Hart Johnson, Chemist Ken, Candilynn Fite, ME, Clare Dugmore, and Lilica Blake!

 

Remember to visit the IWSG page for the day’s post and visit the Facebook page for additional support.

I image us all sitting in a circle on folding chairs, perhaps a nervous smile or two for those beside us, gearing up to share our insecurities. Glancing around waiting for our meeting to begin, I image some struggle with fear - fear of putting themselves 'out there'. Others' self-confidence keeps them from hitting the 'send' button on a submission. Both plagued me for years, but I took the leap and did both. 

It was worth it.

But now I struggle with another insecurity. Clearing my throat, I think of the words I need to share. 

"My name is Terri Rochenski and I feel inadequate."

Even though I've been through the publishing process six times, I feel inadequate to offer advice to aspiring authors. My critique skills, marketing, blogging, and editing talents are still a major work in progress. 

A few months ago Roane Publishing contacted me wanting to know if I would be interested in acting as their marketing director.

(For those of you who don't know, these are my crazy googly 'what the...?' eyes.)

Talk about laughter! What the heck do I know? Sure, I love setting up blog tours - I THRIVE on the organizational aspect of them, but director of marketing?

*snort*

I let Roane know that I'm no expert. I'm just willing to learn. They allowed me to hop aboard with my baggage of insecurity and anointed me with a title, and now I have the opportunity to help others reach their goals of publication. Perhaps I'll get lucky enough to work with one of you sitting around me!

It's been four months, and while I still feel hugely inadequate, I am gleaning every bit of wisdom I can from this experience. 

Keep moving forward, says I. 

We'll never know it all, but it's worth shooting for!

Do you struggle with feelings of inadequacy? Do you offer to beta read or critique in fear and trembling? Or perhaps the thought of ripping an aspiring authors' WiP to shreds fills you with sick glee...?
