Ode to the Library

If you've followed me for long, you've probably heard me talk about how much I love public libraries. You've read about how the library broadened my horizons and saved me from public embarrassment (I would have went without clothes to buy more books if I couldn't borrow them from the library). You may have even noticed my hints that a library is a great place to check out a new author before making your own purchases. In short, I <3 a="" chance="" get="" great="" help="" i="" libraries.="" library="" local="" my="" now="" p="" support="" to="">

If you happen to be in the area, PLEASE stop by and say hi. But I know, out there in internet land, chances are, Purcell, OK isn't local. However, I bet you DO have a local library. I hope that you consider supporting them however you can. After all, is books make the best friends, how great would it be to be friends with a whole library of them? ;)

Working on...Appearances

So, yesterday was kind of a big day for me. My head is still spinning. My little book baby is out in the world now. Now comes the real work of promoting it. My blog tour runs through the 19th, and my book signings begin! October 19th I'll be at the Barnes & Noble in Norman OK from 12-2 signing copies of Blood Bound, so if you're in the area, come hang out with me! Annnnd to make things a little more fun, the first person to come and purchase Blood Bound will also get an awesome bonus! Hope to see you there!

Working On...My Birthday.

Okay, so technically I'm not "working on" my birthday. But it is my birthday, so I thought I'd do a giveaway to celebrate.

Who wants their very own, official CSU (Central Seelie University) bag? All the cool halfies are carrying them around campus this fall. ;)

BUT just giving away the bag isn't cool enough, so I've decided to load it with a few of Brielle's essentials. A $5 Starbucks card, a few bookmarks (you can never have too many), SWAG from some exciting new book releases, and even the names of a few anthologies to help find a new favorite author or two. The giveaway ends on September 11th, so enter today and don't forget to tell your friends!

Working On: A Lot

Right now I have so much going on it's hard for me to keep it all straight. So, for the benefit of all, here are some reminders.

First off, HI NEW FOLLOWERS! Please take a minute to explore my blog. Especially the "About Me," "Where to Find Me", and of course, the Free Stuff tabs.

Okay, now on to the good stuff. If you're reading this, you're eligible to win a $100 Amazon Gift card AND free e-books. Just check out this post.

And, of course, add them to your TBR shelves right from my handy-dandy sidebar.

And, as always, I love comments, so make sure to introduce yourselves!

Working On... Loose Ends

This week I actually have several (small) irons in the fire. First of all, the Blood Bound book tour kicks off in mid-August, and is shaping up quite nicely. As soon as I have firm dates and links, I'll post them here.

And speaking of links, the giveaway for Doorways to Extra Time, which releases next month, is up on Goodreads.

And finally (and completely un-book-related) I'm working on the nursery. Yep, in August, one month before the release of my first novel, I'm expecting my second child. So, if I disappear (more than usual)  there is probably a good reason.:)  That's all for today!

Working on...Free Stuff!

This week I'm working on everyone's favorite: Free Stuff!

My first Blood Bound Giveaway is here! And all you have to do to enter is add Blood Bound to your Goodreads shelf, which of course, you've already done. ;)

And, while you're here, go ahead and click on my "Free Stuff" tab. I have free stories and other goodies that you can get RIGHT NOW!

Enjoy  :) 

Working on...Proofs

So, this has been a pretty exciting week for me. Last weekend, I had a pdf. sent to me of my flash fiction story, "The Game." It was all formatted ready go go to the printer for the Doorways to Extra Time anthology. *Note the handy-dandy widget to add it to your Goodreads shelf in my sidebar.

And then, oh, and then... This was in m mailbox on Monday.

The proof copy of Blood Bound! I'm not going to lie, I almost died from excitement. And now that I've recovered, I'm combing over it one last time before it is ready to go out into the world. You're eyes aren't playing tricks on you, this is a different cover from the one shown on Goodreads. That's because it's a LIMITED EDITION proof. Which means that when I'm super-famous these puppies might be worth something. :) 

Oh! And in the midst of my Squeeeing, I also did a guest post for Book Divas, just in case you missed it. See, I have been busy. 

So, what do you think of the Limited Edition cover? 

Working On...Wednesday

Hi blog followers! (If you're still out there) I know I've been a terrible blogger, and I need to mend my wicked, non-posting ways. And so I introduce to you Working On Wednesdays!

I'm hoping that a weekly feature will make me a more faithful blogger. (We'll see how that works.) I know a lot of bloggers do Waiting On Wednesday, and while I love seeing what new titles are creating a buzz, I kinda hate waiting. Plus, I have a lot of super cool things happening in the next few months, and I want you to share in the excitement. So, every week (or every other week) I'm going to post what I've been working on lately.

This week I'm working on my social butterfly skills. Did you know I have a Facebook page and a Twitter account? Over the next few months, I'll be hosting giveaways, making announcements, and other exciting stuff. If you don't want to wait for a blog post to hear the latest, come find me at one of my other on-line hangouts to keep up-to-date. For those of you not keeping track, Blood Bound comes out in just over two months (SQUEEEEE) so there will be blog tours, guest posts, and awesome SWAG you'll want to keep your eye on.

And, as always, I'm looking for feedback. Do you have any suggestions to make your time with me more awesome?
