“. . . or so he thinks. He wants vengeance.”
“So do I.” My voice is cold and hard and I mean every one of those three words.

Do you see that, me hearties? That be a treasure-trove of Pirate goodness! That’s right, you’re looking at a signed copy of TRAVELER, a signed ARC of DREAMER, a gorgeous nautical-themed journal and matching bookmark, a beautiful holographic pirate bookmark, and a custom-made pirate-themed candle, Sun on the Sails, courtesy of the Nox To Lumos Candle Co (and made in honor of our dashing pirate Finn). I know you can’t read the label on this shot so here’s the text:
Sun-soaked sails and fresh sea air with notes of rich, seasoned wood.
Turn your face to the wind and get ready for adventure

“Miss St. Clair, would you care to dance?”
“You want to dance? Now?”
“It’s not a fancy ball, but I think I can manage.”
I give him a smile and drop into a ridiculous curtsy. “Why, Mr. Gallagher, I’d be delighted.”

Advanced Copies For DREAMER Have Arrived!
[image error]
Yes, that’s it! Right in my hot little hand! The Advanced Reader Edition for DREAMER!!!
And before you swamp me with requests, please know that I (as the author) only got a very few of these. If you’d like to request a review copy (and you have a book blog), you can do so on the Swoon Reads site but there’s no guarantee that you’ll get one, unfortunately.
Your best bet is to keep your eyes glued to the Swoon Reads site, to Goodreads, and of course, to this blog for giveaway announcements. I’m not sure of the timing on the others, but I can tell you there will be a giveaway here this month! No formal announcement yet, but I’m doing it in conjunction with one of my favorite special occasions. I’ll leave you to reason it out.

Stay tuned!

What’s Up Wednesday: Near The Finish Line
But it’s only a prelimary race . . .
In other words, the first draft of the next book is done, and I’m frantically finishing up this round of edits. Then off it goes to my editor and I hold my breath and wait.
And clean my house. ‘Cause guys – it really needs it. Between book writing and edits, it’s become rather frightening. But you didn’t come here to read that. You want to know about the next book, but you’ll have to wait till the book gets the official okey-dokey and then I can introduce you to my fine young Irish heroes.
In the meantime, I’ll remind you that I’ll be appearing at B-Fest, Barnes & Noble’s Teen Book Fest in Plymouth Meeting, PA at the end of September, and if you’re lucky, I may even have an ARC of DREAMER to give away! ARC’s should be out in September, so get ready for the squeeeee!!
