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.
