As you may have seen in yesterday’s teaser quote, Konstantin Black returns in Ice Kissed. (Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t read Frostfire, be aware of potential spoilers in this post).

Kit Harington as Konstantin Black in my dream cast

It’s less than a month until Ice Kissed comes out (28 days and counting!!!), and this week’s teaser quote is the return of Konstantin Black – the fallen hero that Bryn Aven once deeply admired. Much like Konstantin, Bryn has always prided herself on never backing down, never being afraid. And after how things went with Konstantin at the end of Frostfire, she is angry and more confused than ever, not scared – but maybe this time she should be scared….

If you haven’t preorderd Ice Kissed yet and you’d like to, here are some ways you can do it:

My first giveaway at the new site is underway, and I am super excited. I have five Grand Prize Packages and fifteen Runnerup Prize Packages. To enter, you can go here to the Giveaways. 

The Giveaway & Contests tab can be found on the main page of the website, and I plan on having many more in the next few weeks, so be sure to check back for new updates and giveaways throughout the coming month!

As you probably know, I’ve gotten really into Pinterest, and you can follow me at www.pinterest.com/aehocking if you’d like. With the countdown for Ice Kissed continuing (only 33 more days until it’s released into the wild!), I thought it would be fun to create a dream cast for Ice Kissed. 

It’s not exactly perfect – Emily Browning’s eyes are much lighter than how I’d pictured Ember’s, for example – but they’re all pretty close to how I envisioned the characters.

The great thing about books, though, is that everyone can picture characters differently, and I would love to see how you guys envision the cast. If you’d like to add your own ideas for the cast of the Kanin Chronicles, follow my Pinterest board, and I’ll add you to it, so you can pin your dream cast. Or you can just check out the board to see what other people think.

This week’s Ice Kissed teaser quote comes from Bryn Aven. In the second book of the Kanin Chronicles, Bryn makes many startling discoveries about her heritage, her kingdom, and herself…
