Shadow Bound is out today! Mostly. I’m hearing reports that the US paperback version is available most places, and that some of the ebook versions have been released. Other ebook versions and some non-US English versions may not release until June 1.
I currently have no information about foreign language editions or audio editons, but I suspect the audio will be available soon. All my other books are in audio.
I’ve posted a giveaway on the Deadline Dames site today, and the one here is still going on too, so you have at least two chances to win a free, signed copy.
You can find the official back cover blurb here, and that page also contains a link to the first two chapters in PDF format, which you’re welcome to read for free, whenever you want, however many times you want.
Today, I’m celebrating the Shadow Bound release by writing another 5,000 words in WITH ALL MY SOUL. And maybe with an extra cup of coffee. 
Six days into writing (I took the weekend off), the book stands thus:
I’m very pleased with the progress, and I’ll be even more pleased if I actually make my goal today. This is a very busy day for me, with the new release and a personal obligation. I was up working until midnight last night, and I’d like to pack it in earlier today. So…we’ll see.
And, today I actually have a line from what I wrote yesterday, with a name deleted to avoid spoilers. Be warned, though, that this is rough draft. This snippet could change drastically or be deleted entirely before the book ever sees print. Here goes, from chapter eight of WITH ALL MY SOUL:
“Even scarier was the fact that I had yet to find a limit to what I’d be willing to do to protect him. To keep him with me. To keep us together. I’d spent most of my life setting boundaries. Lines I wouldn’t cross. Lines I wouldn’t let others cross.
With [redacted], there were no boundaries.”
Okay, that’s it! Happy Shadow Bound release day to me! And happy Shadow Bound release day to you too!
I am really hoping my pre-order will be waiting in my mailbox today, but I have a feeling I’ll have to wait another day or two..:)
CONGRATULATIONS Rachel!!
Woohoo!
And wow, congrats again for the great progress you are making with WITH ALL MY SOUL!
And thanks for sharing that snippet, I have my guess who Kaylee is referring to (or at least I hope
)
Enjoy the day, have a celebratory slice of cake with that cup of coffee and congrats again!!
OOh cruel teaser Rachel!!
Now I am wondering who or what the redacted bit is!!
Happy Release Day!!
Already preordered my copy of Shadow Bound and entered the Deadline Dames contest!! Cannot wait to read it!!
Dying to read Before I Wake. And now I can’t wait for With All My Soul either! It’s like christmas and my birthday at once every time I read some updates about the books! IIiiih! *Jumps up and down*
I am so excited to read Shadow Bound!! None of my local bookstores have it of course, but I pre-ordered it for my nook so I will be able to read it June 1st. It seems so far away, but I’m sure it’s worth the wait. I will order the PB copy online maybe it will come in before it releases on Nook.
I ADORED Blood Bound and consider it one of my top reads of 2011, so I am SO excited to read Shadow Bound! Congrats!
Congrats on your release day!!! I’m enjoying SB very much. I’m up to Chapter 26 (page 253/309) of the NetGalley UK ARC.
Congrats! But it looks like my eBook will not be available until June 1st. I should have Blood Bound finsihed way before that
*Whine* I want BIW NOW! Rachel, you are such a tease . . . BTW congrats on SB release day and writing progress
Congrats on the Shadow Bound release!!! *whooohooo*throwsconfetti*

Happy release day! My local book store usually gets orders in by Thursday so I will hopefully be getting my order of Shadow Bound this week ^_^.

Woohoo! Congratulations. Amazon Kindle delivery date is June 1.
That teaser kills me!!! lol
Anyway, Happy Book Birthday!!!
That is Kaylee talking, isn’t it? I mean, it’s not Sabine? Right? Right?
I was wondering if a winner was chosen on the Deadline Dames site. I checked there but couldn’t find a post. Checked their fb page too but nadda. I’m probably just blind but thought I’d check. Thanks!
No, I forgot! I’m trying to post it now…
