June news from Berinn Rae (Rachel Aukes)

Explosion's launch is right around the corner (July 1), and is now up for pre-buy on Amazon. I also have a short story called "Envy's Revenge" coming up in a sci-fi romance anthology this summer. More details to come on that next month! In other news, I've been working my butt off on writing 100 Days in Deadland. It's Dante's Inferno, retold zombie apocalypse style! Isn't the cover fun?!  100 Days in Deadland comes out August 1, but you can get a sneak peek on my website. For more fun, I'm hosting a giveaway on Goodreads for a signed copy of 100 Days in Deadland when it comes out. Be sure to sign up! Oh, and one thing you'll see on the cover of 100 Days in Deadland...the author is Rachel Aukes. Yeah, that's me! It's my real name. I've gone by Berinn Rae (Rae is my middle name and "Berinn" is old German for "murderess" because how fun is that!) on all my romance books and had decided to clearly differentiate my romance titles from my non-romance titles. All my books are speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror)--the different names just help you pick out how much heat you'd like in your stories. Have a great month!

May news from Berinn Rae

Just returned from RT Booklovers Convention in Kansas City, and it was fantastic! I co-hosted the Intergalactic Bar & Grille Party with Linnea Sinclair, PJ Schnyder, and more! Then, I co-hosted the Carnival Curiosities with Beth Ciotta, Heather Graham, Elle J Rossi, Erin McCarthy, Kathy Love, Alexandra Sokoloff, Kathleen Pickering, and Harley Jane Kozak. Both parties were a wild time and many, many books were given away! Even with all the fabulous parties and interviews I did, my con highlight was meeting F. Paul Wilson and talking about writing, airplanes, and other things. He's a brilliant man and an incredible writer.

For other news, since May is Zombie Awareness Month, I posted the first part of my upcoming zombie novel, 100 Days in Deadland, to my website and Wattpad early! A new part will be released every week or so until all nine parts are online. The novel will be released August 1 in ebook everywhere. This is my first non-romance novel, and I've made the decision to publish it under my real name (Rachel Aukes) so that readers will always know that Berinn Rae novels are romance.
Have a great month!

100 Days in Deadland by Berinn Rae

Cover Design by Berinn Rae

The world ended on a Thursday.

In less than three days, the world succumbed to a pestilence that decimated the living. In its place rose a new species: vicious, gruesome, wandering plague monsters with an insatiable hunger for the living. There is no shelter. No government. In this new world, you’re either a survivor or a victim.

Still in her twenties, Cash has seen thousands die, only to walk again. An office worker with few survival skills, she teams up with Clutch, a grizzled big rig driver with PTSD. Together, they fight through the nine circles of hell, with nothing but Clutch’s military experience and Cash’s belief that humanity is not yet lost. As they fight to survive in the zombie inferno, they quickly discover that nowhere is safe from the undead… or the living.

This is the beginning after the end.

100 Days in Deadland is a journey through “Dante’s Inferno,” the first poem in Dante Alighieri's classic tale Divine Comedy… zombie apocalypse style!

Read 100 Days in Deadland, starting May 6!

March news from Berinn Rae

Whew, what a busy start to 2013! Explosion, the final book in the Colliding Worlds trilogy, is now on my editor's desk at Crimson Romance. Implosion (book 2) comes out March 11 as ebook everywhere. I also have a short (dystopian sci-fi rom) in an upcoming anthology showcasing a wide range of fabulous sci-fi romance authors out there. A release date hasn't been set yet, but I'll keep you posted. Next up, I'm going to write a full-length zombie novel simply because I love zombie thrillers and finally accepted the fact that I must take the time to write at least one myself. Its working title is Zombie Playground, and it will be my first book without romance. The story is still being fleshed out (lame pun intended, heh heh), and I'll keep you posted. If you favorite zombie books to share, I'd love to add to my to-be-read pile, so let me know your favorites via Twitter (@BerinnRae) or Facebook!  Have a great month!

December News from Berinn Rae

Implosion (book 2 in the Colliding Worlds trilogy) is now on my editor's desk at Crimson Romance, and now I'm starting Explosion, the final book in the alien romance trilogy, which is due to my editor March 1. Needless to say, between the writing deadlines and the day job, my online presence has been taking a hiatus (and will through February). I miss visiting on Facebook and Twitter and look forward to catching up with you soon. Have a wonderful holiday season!!

October News - Berinn Rae

I've been hiding out for some time with my deadlines for the next two books in the Colliding Worlds trilogy (which, by the way, Implosion and Explosion are coming along great!). September was also the month of fly-ins and air shows (I fly when I'm not writing, really!), with every weekend booked. Now that the leaves are turning color, I'm looking forward to some free weekends to write like a mad woman!  Oh, with the exception of one weekend at the end of October, where I've been invited to join the Wonder of Words literary festival in Des Moines, Iowa (squee!!). Annnd one more thing... Elle J Rossi just designed the poster for the panel I'm on at next year's RT conference (which is going to be a blast!). Click on the thumbnail to see how awesome she did! Have a colorful fall!

On July 30, Collision, the first book in the Colliding Worlds trilogy, comes out. This trilogy is Sci Fi with romantic elements, with each book starring a different extraordinary women in an intergalactic war that has just come to earth.

This month, I'm writing Implosion, the second book in the Colliding Worlds trilogy, which stars Nalea, a strong Sephian woman with plenty of secrets of her own. My hands are pretty full with this trilogy, so I'll only check in on Twitter and Facebook about once a day. Have a great month!

June news from Berinn Rae

Welcome to summer! This month, I'm busy wrapping up edits on Stealing Fate (a novella on one of the Greek Fates), which comes out July 24, and Collision (book 1 in the Colliding Worlds trilogy), which comes out July 30 from Crimson Romance. After that, I'll be working on the next book in the Colliding Worlds trilogy (alien romance), tentatively called Implosion. I've put Rafe's story in the Guardians of the Seven Seals series on hold temporarily so I can first wrap up the trilogy this summer. Rest assured, Rafe will get his story!
In other news, I just committed to attending RT 2013 in Kansas City, MO (May 1-5, 2013). There, I'll be co-hosting a readers' "carnival" event with friends Beth Ciotta, Heather Graham, Traci Hall, Kathy Love, Erin McCarthy, and Elle J Rossi. I can guarantee it's going to be a fun event for everyone who attends!
