From the #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series comes a new blockbuster series…
Two sisters.
One brutal murder.
A quest for vengeance that will unleash Hell itself…
And an intoxicating romance.
Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are streghe – witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding notice and persecution. One night, Vittoria misses dinner service at the family’s renowned Sicilian restaurant. Emilia soon finds the body of her beloved twin…desecrated beyond belief. Devastated, Emilia sets out to find her sister’s killer and to seek vengeance at any cost-even if it means using dark magic that’s been long forbidden.
Then Emilia meets Wrath, one of the Wicked-princes of Hell she has been warned against in tales since she was a child. Wrath claims to be on Emilia’s side, tasked by his master with solving the series of women’s murders on the island. But when it comes to the Wicked, nothing is as it seems…

So writing for Examiner.com can be lucrative?
You seem very well-connected. When I tried writing as an examiner, I was not… And so I suffered from lack of traffic and soon forfeited any future effort in the column.
Now that I’m faced with working from home again, I might revisit my options. Any suggestions?
Have you thought about submitting any freelance articles to magazines? Or short stories? That’s a nice supplemental income if you’re working from home. You can try this site called duotrope.com it has search criteria you can input to find magazines that match your subject matter. It’s an amazing tool that makes life so much easier.
As far as Examiner.com goes, at the risk of sounding lame – content is king. If you write regularly, stay on topic and just keep plugging away the traffic will eventually grow.
In the beginning I just wrote about local events, and pretty soon record companies were contacting me with pitches. My topic was such a niche market at first that a lot of the people I wrote about all knew each other, and it kept blossoming from there.
It took a little while, but with persistence (and word of mouth help from readers) gaining traffic works. What was your topic? If you were writing regularly and still not seeing traffic, maybe you could try writing about another subject that you like?
Let me know what you think about duotrope. Hope that helps 🙂
Thanks Kerri! Duotrope looks like a great resource. I will definitely check it out. 🙂
As far as Examiner.com goes, I wrote about animal health and based most of my material off what I knew as a veterinary technician. I would cover local clinics, shelters, and programs, but in the veterinary care field, news was sparse in my community.
It didn’t help that I was barely interested in what I was writing and quickly became bored trying to stick to such a specific topic everyday. I think the quality of my writing suffered because of this, too.
Thanks for the advice. If I do return to Examiner.com, I’ll choose a better subject and, if I enjoy it, I think I’d be more likely to keep up with publishing content regularly.
Thanks again!
Churches, Hole, Arctic Monkeys. Great musical tastes! Is the book out?
Why, thank you! I used to write about music before I starting writing novels. My book will hit shelves on September 20th of this year 😀
Will you have any signed/bundle of the books like with Capturing the Devil?
Hello Kerri, I know you have moved on from Audrey Rose and Thomas but would you ever consider wrote a couple novellas, more on Thomas or even their agency? I am not a stronger reader and have never wanted to read (age 43). Your books have changed that for me, thank you! I am really looking forward to your next series. Please keep in mind if the novellas, you would have so many fans excited!
This is my most anticipated series in a long time! I lived in Italy for two years and moved back to the US for school, but I miss it so much. And I can’t wait for all of the little phrases and culture bits to be woven into a fantasy story to remind me of home! This is looking to be my favorite series of all time!!! Thank you for writing it!!
Are you thinking of doing a book tour/signing with this book?
Hello Ms. Kerri,
I am Dan of The Bochordph_Bookcrate, a small and starting book crate shop here in the Philippines,
We just wanted to tell you that we are sooooo excited for your next release, Our Book communities here are thrilled for Kingdom of the Wicked!
We decided to feature your next release as our book of the month if you’ll allow us,
and if we could preorder the books on amazon and get the preorder swags as well, so we could add it up to our crate together with the other items that we will be including.. :))
The items will be exclusively made by us and will be inspired by the book and your other books as well..:)
is it possible to get the same numbers of Preorder swags to the number of books we’re going to order?
I just finished reading an ARC for this and cannot believe the ending. When oh when is the next book coming out? I am dying – I loved it so much!
