DIVERGENT SHORT STORIES from Four POV
From the author's blog
Short version: there are going to be Divergent e-shorts!
Four of them!
And they will be about…drumroll, please…
Four!
(See what I did there?)
And the first one will be out on September 24th!
Long version: when my publisher approached me hoping that I would be able to write some extra Divergent content from them, I considered a few options for what I might write about, or whose perspective I might choose. Over time it became clear to me that the character I was most interested in exploring further was Four. Two reasons: first, I know his perspective is the one a lot of you are interested in reading (I get asked if I'm going to write anything else from his perspective all the time!), and hey, you're my readers and I like to write things you want to read; second, I was excited by the idea of expanding my own understanding of him, the way I did when I rewrote the knife-throwing scene from his perspective for the Free Four e-short.
For me, Four has never just been Tris’s love interest or a way for sexual tension to enter the story. He has always been a whole person with a history that affects him (and Tris) in significant ways, and a co-mover of the plot along with Tris. These stories are helping me to delve into his character in a way I never have before, and to build up parts of the world that Tris never experienced due to her limited perspective. Interestingly enough, they also affected the content of Allegiant, giving me more to draw from—awesome, right?
These stories will be longer than Free Four (Four’s retelling of the knife-throwing scene, which was only thirteen pages), and the first one will be out on September 24th. You can learn more official info here, too. And of course, I'll keep you informed of the other stories as information becomes available, too.
I for one, loved Free Four! AND HOW AWESOME IS THIS NEWS!
Don't know what the fuss is about?
Blurb:
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves… or it might destroy her.
Debut author Veronica Roth bursts onto the literary scene with the first book in the Divergent series—dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance.
JENNIFER ARMENTROUT FRIGID News
There’s been a lot of excitement surrounding FRIGID, so Spencer Hill Press has decided to run a special e-book pre-order promotion! They have worked out a deal with the distributor to release FRIGID a full two weeks early — on JULY 15th!!! — if we meet our e-book pre-order goal. EEEEP! That’s right, if you want to be able to read FRIGID in its entirety before its original release date, all you have to do is PRE-ORDER THE E-BOOK.
I’ll be keeping you updated on our goal during the next couple of weeks.
ABOUT FRIGID
For twenty-one-year-old Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn't anything new. They'd been best friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the 'man' in man-whore. He's never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their last year in college, Syd doesn't want to risk their friendship by declaring her love.
Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she's perfect and she's everything. But the feelings he has for her, he's always hidden away or focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have.
But when they're stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive Nor'easter, there's nothing stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life-changer in more ways than one.

YOU GUYS NEED TO PRE-ORDER THIS BOOK!!!??!!!! I WANT to get my hands on it so badly for so loooooooooooong!
JLA is really a tease so she put up the first 3 chapters of the book ...
HARPERCOLLINS GOES CRAZY WITH COVER REVEALS!
I'm not exactly a huge fan of this cover because the people look a little weird together.It's like they were photoshopped from two different pictures together. If you look at only one of them it looks great but when you see them together....
THIS HAS TO BE THE PRETTIEST DRESS EVER!! I WANT!
Sequel to Pivot Point.
THERE ARE MANY MORE COVERS THAT HAVE BEEN REVEALED that you can check out here.
There's even a link to read first three chapters of Into The Still Blue here.
I think this post will become too LONG if I keep post all of them!
SAMANTHA YOUNG cover reveal!
One simple lesson in seduction between two friends can turn into so much more… Despite her outgoing demeanor, Olivia is painfully insecure around the opposite sex—usually, she can’t get up the nerve to approach guys she’s interested in. But moving to Edinburgh has given her a new start, and, after she develops a crush on a sexy postgrad, she decides it’s time to push past her fears and go after what she wants.
Nate Sawyer is a gorgeous player who never commits, but to his close friends, he’s as loyal as they come. So when Olivia turns to him with her relationship woes, he offers to instruct her in the art of flirting and to help her become more sexually confident.
The friendly education in seduction soon grows into an intense and hot romance. But then Nate’s past and commitment issues rear their ugly heads, and Olivia is left broken-hearted. When Nate realizes he’s made the biggest mistake of his life, he will have to work harder than he ever has before to entice his best friend into falling back in love with him—or he may lose her forever…
EXPECTED PUBLICATION January 7th 2014.
PRE ORDER: Amazon
EEEP THIS BOOK SOUNDS SO AWESOME!
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON ALL THIS
AWESOMENESS?
It's too much awesomeness to handle. Actually, Shailene's legs in that second picture for the Divergent stills freak me out a little. There's something about her body proportions there that seem a little off -- but I do think that's also because they're running. I'm so excited for the movie! I keep sending my friends updates like this. And I do think you're right re: the Into the Still Blue cover. It really does look like they've photoshopped the characters from the first cover and mashed them together... but where it seemed empowering in the other two covers, it looks more awkward here.
ReplyDeleteBefore Jamica Lane does sound interesting! Although I have read something like this before but I wouldn't mind giving this a try!!
