NYT Bestselling Author Alyssa Day has a Halloween “treat” for fans of her The Warriors of Poseidon series. HALLOWEEN IN ATLANTIS, a novelette addition to the series, released on October 29th!

Arrogant warrior Liam doesn’t understand the beautiful, bubbly human whose entire function in life appears to be to plan parties, but he can’t seem to keep away from her, either. Jamie, who considers herself to be completely unflappable–the hallmark of a great event planner–doesn’t understand why the far-too-serious Atlantean manages to get under her skin with every single encounter. Even if he is the sexiest man she has ever seen.

When the two of them are thrown together to solve a mystery surrounding the queen’s missing jewels, sparks fly, secrets are revealed, and Halloween has never been hotter.

This novelette (longer than a short story, shorter than a novella) is perfect for reading on a coffee break – or in between handing out candy to trick-or treaters

Check your favorite online retailer for HALLOWEEN IN ATLANTIS, released October 29th.

Catching Up with Alyssa Day

Catching Up with Alyssa Day

 

The Reading Cafe is happy to have Alyssa Day with us today. Alyssa has taken time from her busy schedule to visit us and give us an update on what is happening with her, as we all are patiently awaiting her next Warriors of Poseidon novel, and what a wait it is…finally…finally Alaric and Quinn will be here in December with Heart of Atlantis. Let us talk to Alyssa now.

 

TRC: Hi Alyssa. Thank you for taking the time to visit us at The Reading Cafe, and to give us an update as to what you have in store for us in 2012.

Alyssa: Thank you for inviting me!! I’m delighted to be here.

TRC: Before we ask about your books, we know you just got back from living in Japan, but aside from all your unpacking, how does it feel to be back in America?

Alyssa: It’s really wonderful! Japan is a beautiful country, but we were there for the earthquake/tsunami/nuclear meltdown, and then subsequently evacuated from the country for a month, so it was a fairly stressful time. Not to mention two international moves in just over a year. We admire the strength and resilience of the Japanese people very much, but we’re really glad to be home.

TRC: Heart of Atlantis is scheduled to be released on December 4th and is one of the most anticipated books upcoming, as Alaric and Quinn have become such fan favorites. When you started this series, did you anticipate their popularity when you created their characters?

Alyssa: I knew from the reaction to the first book that something about Alaric and Quinn really touched a nerve with readers, and to be honest, it worried me a bit, because I knew before I began writing the series that Alaric’s book would be the 7th in a 7-book arc. (Which turned out to be the 10th, because two novellas and Daniel the Vampire’s book also intervened.) I didn’t want readers to hate me for drawing it out!!

TRC: Your next release is Alejandro’s Sorceress, which is an e-book special. Can you please tell us a little about the book?

Alyssa: Alejandro and Maria were characters in Justice’s book, ATLANTIS UNLEASHED. Alejandro stole every scene he was in, and I couldn’t leave his continuing story untold. It was very fun to write, but the mechanics of writing and publishing a book in a new venture (indie e-books) at the same time as moving home from Japan has been pretty stressful. I appreciate my readers’ patience, and I learned my lesson: I’ll never again announce an e-book release date before it’s actually happening! LOL. Here’s an EXCERPT.

TRC: You mention on your website that you plan on books for Denal and Jack. Do you plan on each of them having their own book? Will they be novellas or full books?

Alyssa: Denal will probably get a novella like Alejandro, but I’m not sure yet. I haven’t found his heroine. Jack, on the other hand, is going to get his VERY OWN SERIES!!! Yes, you’re one of the very first to hear this, but I’m going to build an urban fantasy series around Jack and his continuing adventures! The first book will be out sometime in 2013.

TRC: How far do you plan on going with Warriors of the Poseidon? Will you continue this series after Atlantis rises?

Alyssa: I never say never, but right now I am taking some time to write other things, like Jack’s series I mentioned above, and The League of the Black Swan, a new series coming in 2013 from Berkley. The League is a sort of paranormal secret police, who take on cases when supernatural trouble occurs. The first book centers around Luke, who is sometimes called the Dark Wizard of Bordertown, and who is the illegitimate son of Lucrezia Borgia! I also have a novella, Curse of the Black Swan, which will be in an anthology with Lora Leigh and two other authors (to be announced) sometime next year.

TRC: Who is your favorite male character in your books and why?

Alyssa: I love them all, and usually the hero and heroine of the book I’m working on at the time are my favorites, but I’ll admit Jack and Ven hold special places in my heart because of their great senses of humor.

TRC: Who is your favorite female character in your books and why?

Alyssa: I could never choose only one. It’s like saying “which of your kids do you like best?”  LOL.

TRC: Would you like to add anything else?

Alyssa: Just thanks for having me, and thanks to all the wonderful readers out there who allow authors to have the jobs of our dreams. You rock!!

TRC: Thank you, Alyssa for giving us an update on what we can look forward to this year. We also are happy that you will be coming back to the Reading Café in December, so that we share the excitement of Heart of Atlantis. Can’t wait for Alaric and Quinn.

WARRIORS of POSEIDON- a poem based on the series by Alyssa Day

Posted on by
6

A few months ago I had the opportunity to write a poem about the Warriors of Poseidon to honor Alyssa Day on her birthday. 

Alyssa had a birthday wish.
She wanted just one thing.
For Conlan to be crowned at once,
And all to call him king.

Erin lit the birthday candle,
A witch of mighty power.
But Ven was hoping for a dance,
By twelve, the witching hour.

Lord Justice had a gift or two,
And Keely brought the cake.
She noted how the gathered few,
Were waiting by the lake.

Bastion called, “She’s coming home…
All hide, around the castle.”
Some tumbled through the kitchen door,
Kat yelled,” Oh no, who broke the vassel?”

Alaric blessed the chosen race,
But Quinn refused to hide.
Conlan grabbed the Trident spear,
And Riley beamed with pride.

“Alyssa’s here, she’s on the walk.”
Grace whispered to the hall.
Alexios stood, by her side,
All male.. .so big and tall.

“Atlantis Rules”, they shouted out.
As Brennan hit the lights.
Tiernan laughed, her lover moved,
She sighed…”Tonight’s the night.”

Fiona ducked as Christophe waved,
His arms, all in a flurry.
“All quiet now, Alyssa’s home.”
Some laughed, but no one worried.

Denal looked out, he couldn’t see,
Who trailed along the walk.
Serai and Daniel both agreed,
Perhaps it’s time to talk.

Jack was first, he called her name.
“Alyssa, welcome home.”
Your friends are here, to wish you well,
And greetings with this poem.

It took some time, we wrote this down,
we tried in every way.
From your friends and fans who wish the best,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY….ALYSSA DAY.

Written by Sandy
