#TBT to a few weeks ago when I got all these books signed at #2016ABF. I loved meeting all these authors, and I miss Austin and my book peeps! Have you been to any signings? Are you going to any soon? The next one on my radar is next year's ApollyCon. Have you seen that author list? I can't miss that!

Two weeks ago I was in Austin, TX waiting to board my flight back to NYC after one of the coolest weekends ever (#2016ABF hollaa) 🙌🏼 I wish I could have had more time to visit Book People but I did find this tiny version of it in the airport and am now unofficially planning my trip back to TX to visit again! @authorrsgrey make up the guest room for me soon okay??? 👯

I love talking to readers at signings, always learn new stuff! At the Austin Book Fest #2016ABF a lot of readers talked about their first IAD. Which one brought you to the series? #immortalsafterdark http://bit.ly/kcolenewsletter

An inspiring tale of female resiliency and courage.

… Zaria’s passage into womanhood evolves out of slavery and escape … a tribute to the power and tenacity of women to survive …

THE TATTOOED PRINCESS

now an e-book from Amazon’s Kindle Books:

https://www.amazon.com/author/califia.montalvo

… Told by the oldest shaman in his land, that as long as Zaria remained pure of body and did not succumb to the lust which permeated Sharvur’s court, his kingdom would remain invincible. But like the fanciful tattoos which Zaria had added each year to her supple body, her curiosity and desires increased, threatening to bring down the empire.          

In 1993 a team of Russian archaeologists discovered a rich burial tomb on the bleak steppes bordering Russia, Mongolia and Kazakhstan.  Frozen and remarkably preserved in the permafrost, they uncovered the mysterious body of a woman they would call the “Siberian Princess.” Her body was yet that of a young female, but she had the most compelling tattoos ever discovered in ancient history. This is her story. How she loved and how she died…

“The Tattooed Princess”

A novel by Califia Montalvo
