Mallory<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is one of those self-published authors you\u2019ll be hearing a lot about\u2026 the kind legends are made of.<\/p>\n<p>A few years back H.P. wrote two books: <strong>Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble<\/strong>, a first person paranormal romance, and <strong>To Kill A Warlock<\/strong>, a first person urban fantasy. She quickly got an agent, and her agent sent her books to N.Y. editors. Those N.Y. editors rejected the books and soon after, her agent started ignoring her. Having had enough, H.P. fired the agent and those two books she wrote settled onto her computer, hidden away from the world.<\/p>\n<p>Then about six months ago I told H.P. about the new self-publishing world. I hadn\u2019t decided yet if I was going to venture into unknown territories, but H.P. jumped right in. She put together some super cute covers and slapped the books up on Amazon, B&amp;N Pubit! and Smashwords.<\/p>\n<p>Last I heard she had sold over 70,000 copies of her books, although I\u2019m sure that sales number has gone up by now. She landed a big name agent and publishers have taken notice of her books, which tend to always be listed on the bestsellers list. Just a couple weeks ago N.Y. editors were fighting it out for the rights to books 3, 4, and 5 to the <strong>Fire Burn<\/strong> series. H.P. just signed a contract with Random House for 6 figures. Why would editors pay that much for a first time author? Because readers love her books, as is shown by her sales numbers and her ratings.<\/p>\n<p>Interested? Here\u2019s the blurb for <strong>Fire Burn<\/strong> below:<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cauldron-Paranormal-Romance-Wilkins-ebook\/dp\/B003UNL8OG\/ref=pd_sim_kinc_1?ie=UTF8&amp;m=AG56TWVU5XWC2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6098\" title=\"fireburn\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/fireburn.jpg?resize=186%2C270\" alt=\"\" width=\"186\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a>A self-deprecating witch with the unique ability to reanimate the dead.

The Underworld is polarized in a battle of witch against witch, creature against creature, led by the villainous Bella, who would be Queen. While Jolie has one goal in mind, to stake the vampire, Ryder, who nearly killed her, she also must choose between the affections of her warlock employer, Rand, and the mysteriously sexy vampire, Sinjin. And as if that weren\u2019t enough to ruin a girl\u2019s day, everything Jolie knows will be turned inside out when she\u2019s thrust into the shock of a lifetime. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s the blurb for H.P.\u2019s other series, <strong>To Kill A Warlock<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Warlock-Urban-Fantasy-Dulcie-ebook\/dp\/B003UNLIOQ\/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&amp;m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&amp;qid=1298990341&amp;sr=1-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6096\" title=\"tokillawarlock\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/tokillawarlock.jpg?resize=185%2C268\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"268\" \/><\/a>The murder of a dark arts warlock.
