Events and Appearances
I do several book signings, talks, workshops, guest blogs, and more throughout the year. Posted below is what I have coming up:
September 2010
Sept. 9–12: I’m scheduled to attend romance author Lora Leigh’s Reader Appreciation Weekend in Huntington, W.Va. The event will feature several authors, including Jim and Shannon Butcher, Q&A panels with authors in a variety of genres, and two book signings — one just for conference attendees on Saturday and one that will be open to the public on Sunday. I’ve been to RAW before, and it’s always a fun time. Hope to see you there.
Bookmarks, bookmarks, bookmarks
One of the coolest things about having a book published is getting to make bookmarks for it. I currently offer free bookmarks for Spider’s Bite, Web of Lies, and Venom in my Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series and my three Bigtime paranormal romance books to readers, librarians, bookstores, etc.
However, please note that I ask folks to send me a self-addressed stamped envelope with two first-class stamps (88 cents) on it in order to get the bookmarks (this helps me cover postage costs). Still interested in getting the free bookmarks? Then send me an e-mail for more information.
And I’ll be getting bookmarks made for Tangled Threads, the fourth book in the Elemental Assassin series, and the fifth book (untitled at this point) when the cover art is finished, so check back soon.
Guest blogs, interviews, and e-ARCS
I’m available to do guest blogs and interviews for book blogs and other sites, as my schedule permits. E-ARCs (electronic advanced reading copies) of my books are also available to reviewers, librarians, booksellers, and others. If you’d like me to appear on your site or would like an e-ARC of one of my books, send me an e-mail.
However, please note that the e-ARCs are for those people who have dedicated book review sites and blogs. Plus, I ask that people who request an e-ARC actually read and review the book in a timely fashion, especially if it is a new release.
So don’t e-mail me if you just want to read the book for free. That is not what the e-ARCs are for. Also, if I send you an e-ARC and find out that you have pirated the book — in other words, posted it online for free — I will report you to my publisher, and you will not receive any more e-ARCS from me. Ever.
Spoiler policy
So many people have e-mailed me and asked what happens next in the Elemental Assassin series that I’ve decided to enact a spoiler policy. It’s very flattering that folks want to know what’s coming up for Gin, Finn, Jo-Jo, Sophia, and the rest of the folks in Ashland, and I appreciate all the interest in the books.
However, I’ve decided that I’m not going to answer specific, detailed questions about what happens in the next book or give out spoilers anymore. I’m doing this for a couple of reasons. One, I never know how much of a spoiler someone wants — in other words, how specific she wants me to be and how much she wants to know. Second, I don’t want the information to leak online and potentially ruin upcoming books for people who don’t like or stay away from spoilers. So no more spoilers from me.
I will say that the back cover copy for the books provides some mild spoilers. So if you really want to know what’s coming up for Gin and the rest of the gang, read the back cover copy for the books that is posted on the Books at a Glance page.
