Update on Book 3 and Something New :)
First, I want to let everyone know that I’m still on target for meeting my goal of getting book 3 of the fallen angels series out this fall. I’m so excited about the series and I can’t wait to share the next book with everybody. My announcement has absolutely no affect on when that book will be out. And the reason why I think that was important to say is because I’m going to be publishing a different, unrelated book this summer.
I struggled with whether I should publish this book or sit on it because I was worried that fans of the fallen angels series would think I’d lost interest the series or was “wasting writing time” by focusing on a different project. That can’t be further from the truth. I’ve been dying the write books 3 & 4 of the fallen angels series since I started, and, in all honesty, this book isn’t eating up “fallen angels writing time” because I always write two books at once. When I started to write seriously, I realized that while I couldn’t force myself to write faster (I’m slow, and a book always takes me 6-12 months to write), I could double my output by working on two stories at once (I always “burn out” on a story after a few hours, though it takes longer for me to “burn out” from writing). In general, the two books I work on are really different, which brings me to my next point.
Poisoned is very different from the fallen angels series. It’s still a YA fantasy, and there is plenty of romance, but the book is written in a different voice. It’s darker, more violent, and less funny. Because of this, I’m going to try something different with Poisond’s release.
A lot of you have told me that you want to see sample chapters of the books I’m working on, even if what you read is not exactly what ends up in the final, published version of the book. In fact, that’s probably the most common request I get from readers. I’ll be honest–the mere thought of doing that absolutely terrifies me–but…I think it’s a cool idea so I’ve decided to try it. I’m posting the first part of Poisoned online so fans of the fallen angels series can “try out” this new series before anyone else.
Before I give you the links, I want to say a few things. First, this isn’t my final draft. Certain parts, (especially the beginning, and chapters 6 & 8) will probably change by the time I publish the book. Also, I love getting feedback from readers, so if you want to comment on the story, please do! (You can send me an email, leave me a comment, etc.)
Alright, is this post long enough yet? Yes? Well, those of you who have stuck around are welcome to check out the first part of Poisoned right now here on Wattppad, here on my Katherine Pine website, or you can download it here for free on Smashwords (in mobi, doc, epub, pdf format). Again, if you only want to read the final, completed book, don’t click on the links!
One last thing. I just looked over this post and I realized I hadn’t even told you what the book was about yet! Well, I’ll give you a hint: There is a big blockbuster movie coming out in a few days, starring “that chick who’s in Twilight” (as some of my guy friends say), that I absolutely will not be going to see (even though it looks awesome), because I don’t want to know if Hollywood’s take on one of my all-time favorite fairy tales was better than mine! So if you’re seeing Snow White and the Huntsman this weekend I hope you have a great time, but don’t tell me if you liked it better than Poisoned 
I can’t wait to read Poisoned! And I like you will not be seeing Snow White and the Huntsman. Mostly because the chick only has one facial expression. And that’s not cool. Also can’t wait for book 3 so looking forword to it.
Hahahaha…Whitney, that’s so true! She does always have the same expression
Anyways…I’m really glad your looking forward to Poisoned and Fallen Angels #3. I just can’t wait to get both books out.
Right know i just started reading after eden and i am almost done but how many books will be in that series?
Hey Madison. There will be four books in the series. thanks for stopping by
thanks for getting back to me I love your book’S!!!!!!!!!!:)
ooh and have you thought of what the cover would look like and you dont have to answer that sorry
Hey Madison! I’m not sure what the cover for fallen angels #3 will be yet, and I’m working on the cover for Snow White. I’m not sure when I’ll be ready to share it with people, but I think it will be very soon
Okay thanks! i am really excited for the snow white book to come out also !!!
:):):):):):):):):)
Hey Addison! Just wanted to let you know I have been periodically checking this site to see if anything was going on. Am sooooo happy that I get to have a sneak preview of “Poisoned”. BUT….am really anticipating book 3 of the fallen angels. You are a fantastic author….keep it up! Big hug….Geri
Hey Geri! Thank you for the encouraging words
I am really excited to release book 3 too, and am just amazed and thrilled that people are looking forward to it. I hope it lives up to your expectations!
Oooopppsss! Katherine I am sooo sorry that I started my note as “Hey Addison!” I was at work and some really “rude” co-workers interruped my train of thought. It doesn’t take much to distract me…age I guess….anyway…sorry again.
Geri
No worries. I do stuff like that all the time
I love the fallen angels books! however i have 2 questions regarding the 3rd book:
What will be the title/when will we know the title?
When will the cover be released?
thank you so much for writing these books!
~Ceci~
Hey Ceci! Thanks for dropping by. I think I’ve settled on a title, but I want to get a little further into the story before I share it just in case things change. I’ll probably be sharing the cover in late August. I’m really glad you’re enjoying the books so far!
Hi! I’m new to your books. I stumbled upon the free preview of Poisoned on Smashwords, read it, and fell in love. I was wondering if you have a release date yet for the full book? I can’t wait to finish the book!!
Hey Kristen! I’m so glad you like Poisoned so far
It will be available this summer (probably after mid July). I don’t have a set release date yet, but I’ll be making announcements everywhere once it comes out.
I just finished reading the 10 chapters of Poison. I LOVED it! Can’t wait to finish it! I also am a fan of your Fallen Angel Series! Very excited about the next book coming out! Please don’t ever stop writing, you are AMAZING! When will Poison be released?
Hi Katherine! Love your work!!!! I’m really looking forward to Poisoned as well, and since Summer is almost over I was wondering if you had any updates on the release? And now I must go find these 10 chapters that nicky mentioned, I don’t think I read that many of them!
Hey Anna. Summer is over and I am so sorry that Poisoned’s release was delayed. It ended up being twice as long as I thought it would be (and by far the longest book I’ve ever written). I am really sorry that it’s late, but am happy to say that it’s almost done. I’m doing my final edits now and so the book will be out very soon
If you want to read the first ten chapters, you can download them for free in any format you want (mobi, epub, doc, txt, etc) here: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/167745
Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope that you enjoy the books!
I loved reading the sample chapters of poisoned now im gonna be anxious for that book to come out as well as book 3 of fallen. your an amazing writing…i love how u tell a story and is able to make it seem so real, even if it isnt. Gives me a wounderful break from all the text books im shoving in to my brain all the time =p hopefully they come out soon so i can add a little candy to my brain =p thanks for the wounderful stories!
Hey Caitlin. Thank you for your kind words! I’m so glad that you’re looking forward to the books, and hope that they live up to your expectations
We all need a break from working hard and studying sometimes, so I hope the books make it out in time. I’m working hard to get both books out as soon as possible. Poisoned is almost done, and will be showing up very soon. Fallen Angels #3 will take a little longer, but it’s coming along really well. I really can’t wait to share this book with everyone. Thank you so much for stopping by 
After Eden was suggested to me by amazon and i absolutely loved it! I plowed through book one and book two. I about died when i found out book 3 isn’t out yet! Can’t wait for either book!
Hey Erin. I’m so glad you liked the first two books in the series! I’m working on getting #3 out as soon as possible (I hate waiting for books in a series, too). Thank you for stopping by
After Eden was suggested to me by amazon and i absolutely loved it! I plowed through book one and book two. I about died when i found out book three wasn’t out yet! Can’t wait for either book!
Cant wait for book 3 …… hope it comes out soon.
I’m really looking forward to book 3 of your fallen angels series and I hope Devi ends up liking Camael more. I just… feel so bad for him, and for some odd reason he’s become one of my favorite characters, even though, so far, he doesn’t play a huge role it seems.
Hey Sasha. I’m still editing Fallen Angels #3. I’m really glad you like Camael. He plays a much bigger role in this book!
Yay!
I’m really looking forward to it
I doubt there will be a love triangle at this point since Devi is so close to Oz. But I really hope she starts coping with her guardian angel better and maybe later even be friend ^^
Can’t wait for book 3. I thought it would be out so i plowed through the other ones in like a 2 days each and am just TRYING to wait patiently for the next book to come out. You are amazing Katherine!
Hi katherine! I’m in love with your fallen angels books and i can’t wait for book 3 ! I’ve read the books 3 times in a year and i can’t put it down ! Its my favourite book
I am so glad you enjoyed the books Chloemay! Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me know
