Release of Overflow, a new YA Paranormal Novel!

I'm excited to announce the release of Overflow, a new paranormal romance novel now available on Amazon.com! Still waiting to go live on BN.com, but this will be updated with a link when it does.

So what is Overflow about? For fans of the Inevitable trilogy, they should have some idea already. A young couple caught in a world where things are spiraling out of control. Except this time the couple is a pair of 19 year olds getting married on a cruise ship. Beck has something up his sleeve to make his wedding a perfect one for Sydney, but little does he know he's laying the seeds for a catastrophic disaster the likes of which the cruise industry has never seen.

Here's the description!

Getting married at 19 years old would be enough to make anyone nervous, but Beck Eisley isn’t the kind of guy who backs down from a challenge. His bride Sydney is beautiful, adventurous, and comes from a powerful family that paid to have the ceremony on a luxurious cruise ship. So what could possibly go wrong? While Beck executes his plans to make it a wedding no one will ever forget, he finds out Sydney’s family may have some skeletons in their closet that will make his wedding day more of a challenge than even he thought he could handle.


I hope you enjoy it and thanks for reading. It's been an incredible year of writing for me, publishing six novels and selling over 40,000 copies of my books. I send my deepest thanks out to everyone who's given my work a chance. Here's hoping next year turns out to be even better!


You can find Overflow on Amazon here!

Announcing Overflow, a New Paranormal Novel Coming Early December!

After months of hard work, I'm ready to announce that my next novel will be entitled Overflow, and it should be set for release in the first week of December! I'm also revealing the cover, which was produced by Claudia at Phatpuppy Art.

Fan of the Inevitable Trilogy and my other novels should feel right at home in this new paranormal romance about a disaster cruise ship wedding. To tell you a little bit about the story, a young man named Beck Eisley is getting married to the daughter of an automotive titan named Sydney, both of whom are 19. Her father, Domonic, has generously offered to take them out on a cruise for the ceremony, but Beck discovers he may have an ulterior motive for being generous, namely that there are rumors about mysterious auto-worker deaths that he's trying to avoid. Beck is convinced that Sydney is a match made in heaven, but some of her family's secrets can't stay buried under the surface.

So there you have it, Overflow, which is set to be released in early December. I hope you enjoy it!

Release of Expense, The Spencer Nye Trilogy #2!

I'm excited to present the second book of the Spencer Nye Trilogy, Expense, which is now available on Amazon.com and BN.com!

For fans of Suspense, I think this book will provide a whole new dimension to our understanding of who Spencer Nye is, what her friends are like, and what makes up the world she lives in, one she's absolutely turned upside down. There'll be more action, more sparks, and more glimpses into a future world where the things we know about how people use technology have been taken to even greater lengths.

And, as always, great thanks goes out to the readers who have given me the time to work on these books. I hope you find something that resonates with you within these pages!

The Sequel to Suspense, Expense, coming soon!

Alright folks, this is your one-week warning. We're getting close to the release of the second book in the Spencer Nye Trilogy, Expense, which will continue the series with tons more action, craziness, and revelations!

The response to Suspense continues to be amazing, and I think this second book is going to get an even tighter grip on readers. A lot's changed in the world in the aftermath of Spencer's struggles in the first book, but if there's one thing you can count on, those struggles aren't going to go down without a fight.

Stay tunes for the release announcement, and thanks to everyone who's picked up the series!

About Amazon's New Tablet and Touch Kindles for Under $100!

Did you hear Amazon's announcement today about their new tablet, Kindle Fire? It's pretty incredible!

While I wouldn't say I'm an expert, these devices are pretty fascinating for me. Amazon completely revamped their Kindle product line, which now starts at a $79 Kindle, a $99 Kindle Touch, and goes up to the Fire for $199.

The Kindle Fire has a 7" screen, runs on Android operating software, and features a neat webbrowsing system called Silk, which is supposed to speed up page loading by combining the device's software with some of Amazon's server strength. It'll be interesting to see how well that works in practice.

Though you can find out everything you ever want to know about the new devices here, it's going to be impressive what this does to the book publishing industry and authors like me who primarily make a living by selling e-books. The $100 e-reader threshhold as been holding many people back from getting Kindles, but now there are going to be millions and millions more of them floating around after the holidays.

So what do yo think about it? Is anybody out there thinking about grabbing one of the new models? They are accepting pre-orders now, and then shipping starts in November sometime. I doubt I'll be able to resist picking up one of the tablets, and maybe a few of the Kindles for people on my shopping list.

What Are Reviewers Saying About Suspense?

I have to admit it's been a lot of fun reading reviews for Suspense over the past couple weeks. Whether it's the action, the window into the future of social networking, or the characters and the story, it seems like everybody has found something that resonated with them. That's what this trilogy is all about, and as I get down to work on the sequel, I wanted to make sure I've got a good handle on why people feel the way they do about the story.

I think the reviewers said it best in their own words:

Aeicha at her blog, Word Spelunking, says: "This book is truly a page turner…seriously, I read it in one sitting and every time I told myself “Just one more chapter”, I’d get to the end of that chapter and something exciting would happen and I’d have to keep reading to find out what happens next…and this kept happening until I finished the book and realized it was about 5am and I stayed up all night just to read it."


Jackie at My Tower of Books says: "Spencer Nye is such a likable, yet flawed, heroine. She doesn't always make the right choices but her heart is in the right place. Plus, I like a character that isn't afraid to stop asking questions and kill the bad guys already! Spencer's romantic interests seem pretty clear cut when you first start reading, but take an unexpected and awesome turn! Original and crazy!"


Grace on her MotherLode blog says: "As soon as I started the book I realized we were in a different world than I know, with the personal nodes, the connect system, and the idols. I love how this world was implied rather than explained, and I gradually figured out what made this world tick. The idea of Connect, sending messages simply by thinking and finding the information you needed in front of your eyes in a split second, was really easy to visualize yet unimaginable at the same time. I really liked the creativity in creating this futuristic world that is still really relatable, and I could picture us here in another hundred years."


Well said! A thrilling story, a thought-provoking world, compelling characters. I've been lucky enough to get it right for these reviewers and I hope plenty more people are feeling the same way.


I'll also note that we're 2 weeks from the end of Suspense's grand prize Kindle/Nook giveaway! If you haven't heard about it yet, check out the giveaway tab on our Facebook page!


Suspense, the first book in my new YA (16+) Dystopian trilogy can be found at Amazon, BN, itunes, and Smashwords! The paperback version is out now too!

Suspense Release and Kindle/Nook Giveaway!


Suspense, the first book in my new YA (16+) dystopian trilogy is now available on Amazon  and BN.com!

Just as exciting, I'm pleased to announce that early readers of Suspense will be eligible to win a new Kindle Wifi or Nook Touch, as well as other great prizes! All of you have to do is read the book and answer 4 simple questions by Oct. 9th. All of the details and questions can be found on the giveaway tab of my facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/authorjasonletts

Here's the description of Suspense.

Spencer Nye can't control the rage bubbling under her skin over the world around her. The trouble is, by the year 2102, the world has solved most of its great problems. Without hunger, war, greed, or even money, people obsess over the glamour of the Culture Industry and its mega-celebrity Idols, who vie for followers over the social networks of Connect.

But Spencer discovers there is plenty to fix within the Idols' competition for more popularity. She becomes a diehard and promises to do anything to help her Idol, a dreamy movie star named Cleary Mintz, bring his vision of hope and purpose to the world. When she stumbles onto a threat against his life, she'll have to fight harder than she ever thought possible or lose the man who means more to her than any other.

The story is a bit more adult than others I've written before, and so it's recommended for readers age 16& up. I'm very excited about the story though, which is full of action. Hopefully you like it too, and maybe that'll mean a new Kindle or Nook for you. Thanks for reading!
