Scene 21: Let's get this party started!

When I turned 21 it was rather anti-climatic. For starters, I don't drink. Never have. So it wasn't a landmark birthday for me. Also, I was 9 months pregnant with my first child... and might have convinced my husband it would be fun to invite all our friends out for a day of miniature golf. In case you're curious, a couple hours playing miniature golf on the hottest day of the summer when you're 9 months pregnant is not a good idea. I'll have to dedicate an entire post to that experience another day.

The point is... Happy 21st blog post!!!

To celebrate let's talk giveaways, shall we?

I'm delighted to announce that Strange and Lovely: Paranormal Tales of Thrills and Romance is now available for purchase on Amazon as both a Kindle book and a paperback. So far, our little baby is faring well. We've been on the top 20 list for our genre since launch. Party, it's your birthday!

This weekend begins our two-day release party! You can join the action HERE. Yes, I just yelled 'here' at you. It is that exciting.

We have lots of great authors on the line up. Each will do a one-hour take-over. You know what that means, lots of giveaways! I'll be taking over the feed at 6pm on both Friday, October 10th and Saturday, October 11th.

I'll be giving away items to promote both my story in the Strange and Lovely anthology and also my upcoming book, I Am: Guinevere. To get you extra pumped up, I decided to let you in on a few of the things I'll be giving away.

Items you have to look forward to: amazing car decals, t-shirts, necklaces and these---

What are those fantastically pretty things, you say? Jamberry! Custom-made for my stories. Oh yeah! Special thanks to my multi-talented friend Molly for making these for us. If you don't know what Jamberry wraps are, please check out Molly's site and let your life be enlightened. You'll never be the same. Promise.

How exciting is all that?

I know, right?

Until then.

Scene 20: News

I'm kind of in geek-out mode at the moment. Lots of exciting things happening. The first of which is a Goodreads giveaway for Strange and Lovely.  We're giving away 10 copies of our book.  Click here to enter.

The second bit of exciting news goes along with the first: I'm now listed as an author on Goodreads!  Say what? It's so surreal and amazing. I've worked for this for a long time. So nervous, thrilled my stomach is a nest of butterflies and snakes and kittens. Seriously. As a nod to my college days, I think it's time to jump on the couch!

I've also been working on several projects, both new and already-in-the-works and should have my first solo book coming out early 2015!  That's like jump on the couch times five, people.

Last, but not least, speaking of my solo book... If you haven't had a chance yet, check out my "Meet My Character" Blog Hop blog post on This Side of Invisible by clicking here.

Keep an eye out, the world is going to be seeing much more from me.

Also, if anyone is an avid book reviewer, I might have an ARC to offer you ;)
