I wanted to wish everyone a happy fall and a happy Halloween.
Fall is my favorite time of year (followed by winter). I love the cool nights, the colorful autumn leaves, the crisp smell in the air, the return of football and TV shows, and all things pumpkin and cranberry. And all the candy and costumes on Halloween are pretty fun too.
Hope your fall season is a great one! 😎
I will be one of several authors, artists, and more appearing at Rob-Con 2017. The convention runs from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, July 29-30, at Viking Hall in Bristol, Tenn.
I will be signing books Saturday only — July 29 — from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. I will have copies of Snared to sign, as well as copies of my other books.
Also, T-shirts are available featuring the Rob-Con graphic, created by artist John Hairston Jr.
A one-day pass is $10; a two-day pass is $15; kids under 10 get in free. A costume contest will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday. More information is online here.
Also, one of the special guests this year is Timothy Zahn, who writes Star Wars novels and more. An event will be held with Zahn on Friday, July 28. Visit the Rob-Con website; the Rob-Con Facebook page; or email the organizers for more details.
Hope to see you there! 🙂
I hope that everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And I hope that everyone gets lots of great books to read over the holidays.
I’m taking a blogging break for the holidays. See you guys back here on Monday, Jan. 9.
Happy holidays to all! 🙂
I’m happy to share the cover art for Snared, Elemental Assassin book #16, April 25, 2017. Woot!
As always, the cover was created by Tony Mauro, and the cover model is Alexa Martino. I love all the little details on this one, like the bloody spider runes on Gin’s hands and the spider rune in the title.
You can pre-order Snared at all the usual book retailers:
Amazon Kindle / Amazon paperback / Barnes & Noble e-book / Barnes & Noble print book / Books-A-Million / Google Play / iBooks / IndieBound / Kobo
The audiobook will be available through Audible and Amazon, and the awesome Lauren Fortgang will once again be the narrator. The pre-order links for the audiobooks should be online sometime in March. I’ll share those links here on my blog and on my social media sites when they go online.
Here is the description for Snared. Note: This contains some spoilers from previous books in the series, starting with Bitter Bite, book #14. So if you haven’t read that far in the series yet, you may want to avoid reading the description below:
The sixteenth book in the New York Times bestselling Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series that RT Book Reviews calls, “An extraordinary series…[containing] one of the most intriguing heroines in the genre.”
If you don’t know Gin “the Spider” Blanco, you don’t know dangerous female heroines.
Irony 101—The Spider herself snared in someone else’s web …
Another week, another few clues trickling in about the Circle, the mysterious group that supposedly runs the city’s underworld. Gathering intel on my hidden enemies is a painstaking process, but a more immediate mystery has popped up on my radar: a missing girl.
My search for the girl begins on the mean streets of Ashland, but with all the killers and crooks in this city, I’m not holding out much hope that she’s still alive.
A series of clues leads me down an increasingly dark, dangerous path, and I realize that the missing girl is really just the first thread in this web of evil. As an assassin, I’m used to facing down the worst of the worst, but nothing prepares me for this new, terrifying enemy—one who strikes from the shadows and is determined to make me the next victim.
You can read the first chapter of Snared by going here. Scroll down, and click on the Read Excerpt tab.
I hope that everyone enjoys the look at the Snared cover art and the book when it is released.
Note: This post will also appear today at Magical Musings.
I’m doing something fun this upcoming weekend. I’ll be one of the many writers, artists, vendors, fans, and more attending Rob-Con 2016. The event will be held on July 30-31 at Viking Hall in Bristol, Tenn. from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. both days. Admission is $15 for one day or $20 for both days. Kids under 5 get in for free.
I will be signing books on Saturday only, July 30, starting at 9 a.m. and going until 1 p.m.
Rob-Con 2016 will feature writers and artists signing and selling their books and artwork, along with vendors who will have everything from comic books to toys to games. If it’s related to comic books, comic book movies/TV shows, or fantasy movies/TV shows, you can probably find it at Rob-Con 2016. Folks are encouraged to come in costume, and one of the highlights of the weekend is the costume contest, which will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, July 31.
Now, I don’t have a superhero costume, but I do have several superhero T-shirts (Captain America, Black Widow, etc.). So that’s what I’ll be wearing. I always see lots of folks wearing really cool superhero T-shirts, which usually leads to me going online and ordering more superhero T-shirts for myself. LOL.
Whether it’s a comic book convention like Rob-Con 2016 or a romance-writing convention like the RT Booklovers Convention, cons are always a lot of fun. It’s just really great to meet and hang out with people who are passionate about comics, books, writing, or whatever the con is about.
Comic book and fantasy conventions are held in towns all across the U.S. (and world). If you’re unsure if there’s a con in your area, ask the folks at your local comic book store if they can point you in the right direction. Here’s hoping that you can make it to a con sometime soon.
What about you guys? Do you plan to attend any conventions or book events this summer?
