It’s Friday….
Sorry I haven’t been posting as much lately. Get so busy doing other things that I completely forget to post until it’s evening…lol. I’d promise to do better, but it won’t be happening next week for sure. I’m leaving on Sunday for New Orleans for the Romantic Times convention. I’m meeting up with Devon Rhodes a couple of days early so we can hang out and have some fun before the work starts. 🙂
But I’m going to do my best to at least get the next two installments of Bodyguards done and scheduled so you won’t have to wait on those. 🙂 And if I can, I’ll see about posting something at some point during the other days. Not sure if it’ll happen, but I’ll try.
I just signed my contract for No Bravery, which is my contribution to this year’s Totally Bound GRL anthology. This year’s antho was a lot of fun to work on and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that readers like it. 🙂 Can’t wait to see my cover for my story and the one for the antho.
Also, got the cover for another Totally Bound story, but I can’t share it yet. I know…that’s being kind of mean. I love the cover and hope you all love the book when it comes out. I have to wait until I get the okay to tell you anything else about it. 😉 And to be able to share the cover.
Well, I hope you all have a great Friday and an awesome weekend. I have to pack all my stuff and hope I don’t go over the weight limit. lol
New cover…
First off, I’d like to share the cover for Close the Distance, book 2 in the Rags to Riches series. Yes, it’s the same guy from Remove the Empty Spaces. Which makes me very happy because Close picks up pretty much right where Remove left off. So you get two stories about Adrien and Ion. The 3rd book, Footsteps of My Father (title subject to change…lol) is next up on my list to be written. That one will be about Patrick, Ion’s best friend and Adrien’s personal assistant. He gets to meet Winston, the head of the London branch of Adrien’s company. It’s up on the coming soon page at Totally Bound. Click here to check it out.
Secondly, I was asked about book conventions and how to find them. I guess the best bet would be to google book conventions in your area or simply ask other authors which ones they’ve gone to and which ones they’d recommend for what you’re writing.
Like for romance, there’s the Romantic Times convention-which is geared towards readers but they do have industry panels where authors can learn new things from other authors. Plus you get to interact with a lot of readers. 🙂 The RWA (Romance Writers of America) convention tends to run towards authors/industry more than readers, though they do have a huge book signing.
Then there’s conventions for mystery/suspense and fantasy/sci-fi writers/readers. It’s simply a matter of doing the research to find which ones are in your area or are something you might be interested in going to.
I’ll be going to three cons this year-Spring Fling (which is put on by the a Chicago RWA chapter) in April in Chicago. The RT convention in May in New Orleans and GRL in Chicago in October.
RT and GRL are the two cons I always attend each year. But they might not be the right ones for other authors to attend. It’s really important to do your research and make sure you’re going to get the best return for your money when you go to cons. Of course, sometimes it’s nice to go just to have fun. 🙂
I hope everyone is staying warm and have a great weekend.
Happy Weekend…
Thought I’d share this with you because I like Christopher Lee…and after reading this, I think he’s even more awesome…lol. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare? 🙂
I’m going to be doing a lot of writing over the weekend. Need to finish Chasing the King of the Mountains, and get some other stories closer to being done. 🙂
Also, Threadbare Gypsy Souls comes out on Sunday, so don’t forget to pick up your copy. And remember Amber Allure always gives you a first week discount on the new books.
I hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.
Hello and welcome….
To my shiny new website and blog. There are still a few things that need to be tweaked, but all in all, it’s a beautiful new place. My web mistress has been pulling out her hair to set things up in a more organized manner than I had it. Now there are pages for my publishers, my series, my print book, and my single titles. Also, you can peek at the coming soon page, which will give you dates, and an idea of what I might be working on.
There’s also a free reads page, where you can download my free read I did for Samhain for Christmas. I’m thinking, from now on, I might add each new blog story to it as I finish it, making it available in it’s entirety for you all without having to actually buy it. I know you’re willing to do that, but now that I have the place and the ability to do it, I think I’ll be doing that way.
So the next blog story installment will be up tomorrow, and on Wednesday, I’m going to be sharing my new cover for the last Four Horseman book, Death.
Have a great day everyone.
Meetings…
Jambrea might have shared with some of you that I’m stuck in meetings all day and haven’t had time to post the next installment of Bastet. I’m taking two minutes out to let you know that I’ll be posting it tomorrow. Sorry about that, everyone.Hope you have a great Tuesday. 🙂
R.I.P.
You gave us music.
You gave us beauty.
In each of you, we found a piece of ourselves.
May you rest in peace.
Running around…
Sorry about there not being a picture. 🙂Hit the ground running this morning and just now have a few seconds to say I won’t be posting anything today….lol.
Big event happening tomorrow night, so we have to decorate and set stuff up.
Have a good Wednesday. I’ll make sure to post the next installment tomorrow in a more timely manner.
