  • Coming soon …

    Okay, I finalized my order for the Jinx bookmarks this morning. It usually takes the company about two weeks to print and ship the bookmarks to me, so I’m guessing they’ll show up on my doorstep around March 24 or so.

    When I get the bookmarks, I’ll post on how you can get some freebies. Or, if you’re one of the folks going to the Romantic Times convention this year, I’ll have bookmarks on hand there during the big book signing on April 19.

    Stay tuned! :ww:

    Busy, busy, busy …

    So, I’m finally getting around to accomplishing some of the stuff on my to-do list. I’m checking over page proofs for the mass market version of Hot Mama, and I’m working on the copy edits for Jinx.

    I’m also starting to (very slowly) update the Web site. I was wondering — what sort of teasers would you guys like to see from Jinx? I’m going to keep the who’s who character encyclopedia and quotes from the book, but I was curious as to what else readers might like to see. Another excerpt? Fun facts? Something else?

    Got an idea or suggestion? Leave it in the comments.

    Happy reading! :ww:

  • Jinx is here …

    jinx.jpgAsk, and you shall receive. What did I spy in my inbox today? The new cover for Jinx! Out of the three covers, I think this one is my favorite — or maybe that’s just because I’m excited about folks being able to read the book soon.

    Well, okay, not soon. But Sept. 2 will be here before you know it. Can anyone else believe it’s almost Easter? It seems like yesterday I was taking down my Christmas tree.

    Not sure if I made this clear or not, but Jinx is coming out as a mass market paperback. Those are the smaller paperbacks. I think it will be a good switch for me, as the mass markets are only $7-8, instead of the $14 of the trade paperbacks. Anyway, I’m hoping the cheaper price will get more folks to try the books and result in more sales — which would mean I could write more Bigtime adventures.

    Guess we’ll see in September! :ww:

  • The covers are here redux …

    And here’s the cover for the mass market re-release of Hot Mama (August).

    Basically, both covers look like the trade originals for Karma Girl and Hot Mama — only with real people on the cover and a more life-like skyline in the background.

    And it looks like they made my name a lot bigger on the cover, although you can’t really tell from this post. That’s always nice. 😉

    Although, I imagine the name thing will even out, since the mass market books are significantly smaller than the trade paperbacks. I guess we’ll see in a couple more months.
