Jean is giving away a copy each of THE SWORD and A SOLDIER'S DUTY to one lucky winner!

Jean Johnson writes both highly praised science fiction and national bestselling paranormal romances, and can't wait to write even more. Her latest romance, THE SHIFTER, will be available everywhere this coming May. Before the Sons of Destiny came to be, shapechangers ruled the heart of a shattered empire, and navigated the uncertain shifts of fate... Years have passed since there was any sighting of “Family Mongrel” on the Shifting Plains. Yet traces remain, and they lead south into the Correda Mountains. As a favor to his brother and sister-in-law, Kenyen Sin Siin has taken it upon himself to track down these hints from the past and make sure the curs have not survived. The trail grows colder, more tangled, until he’s trapped in a valley where not everyone is as they seem. Either he will adapt and survive, or be uncovered and perish before his mission is complete. Wary of strangers, and distrustful of the familiar, Solyn Ys Rei and her best friend have formed a secret resistance. One of a rare few with the ability to stand up to and evade their enemies, she must still tread with great caution, particularly when even her best friend starts acting odd. Allies could be enemies lurking in disguise, and a stranger’s face could hide a new foe as easily as a new friend.

Jayne Ann is giving away a signed copy of the paperback edition of IN TOO DEEP!

COPPER BEACH is on sale NOW!
Within the pages of very rare books some centuries old lie the secrets of the paranormal. Abby Radwell's unusual psychic talent has made her an expert in such volumes-and sometimes taken her into dangerous territory. After a deadly incident in the private library of an obsessive collector, Abby receives a blackmail threat, and rumors swirl that an old alchemical text known as The Key has reappeared on the black market. Convinced that she needs an investigator who can also play bodyguard, she hires Sam Coppersmith, a specialist in paranormal crystals and amber- "hot rocks." Passion flares immediately between them, but neither entirely trusts the other. When it comes to dealing with a killer who has paranormal abilities, and a blackmailer who will stop at nothing to obtain an ancient alchemical code, no one is safe.
