Kristin Battestella's Blog - Posts Tagged "contest"

As I'm sure many of my fellow spooky friends are also re-birthing from the wrath of Hurricane Irene, now seems like a good time for some pre-Fall vampy cheer! Contest, anyone?



Join us on The Vampire Family Facebook page tonight for a chance to win a few treats from our sequel series FATE and FANGS: Tales from the Vampire Family.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Vam...

A free pdf copy of Book 1 Love: Ann and the Viking- available now from Muse It Up Publishing- will be up for treat. But wait! We're also tossing an ecopy of Book 2! Punishment: Lilith's Trials can be yours before its September 2 street date from Muse It Up!




Can't wait? Don't want to test your luck? Shop Now or gander at an excerpt here:

Love: Ann and the Viking $2.50

http://museituppublishing.com/booksto...



Book 1 is also now available at Smash Words!

http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/...



And of course Kindle!

http://www.amazon.com/Love-Viking-Fat...





Punishment: Lilith's Trials $.99!

http://museituppublishing.com/booksto...

In Professor James’ second tale, we share in the pain, suffering, and torment of the Welshire Vampire Family’s beautiful but deadly rival Lilith. Her mysterious, vile nature and fantastical abuses are put on trial as the demonic advocate Mestiphles plays judge, jury, and executioner from his wicked Void of darkness and pain. Is it wrong to delight in the just, even deserving torture Lilith receives? Will she learn and apply the cruel lesson Mestiphles teaches?





If you can't catch up with your FATE and FANGS tonight, no fear! We have plenty more contest planned throughout the series' releases. And you can always can us anytime day or night- but mostly at night- at any of our usual haunts.

Before all the crazy floods and tropical torment, I also took part in the New Jersey Authors Network's panel on Getting Published at the Cinnaminson Library. It was awesome! There was just the right number of authors on the panel and guests looking for tricks of the trade for it to be casual and fun! Another event is scheduled in Cinnaminson September 17, but my next live NJAN event will be the double bill Saturday October 15 at the Moorestown and Voorhees Libraries. Visit the NJAN website for a complete list of upcoming treats!

In Professor Welshire’s fourth Fate and Fangs chronicle, Victoria uses the fallout from the American Civil War to her advantage-or so the beautiful but deadly blockade-runner hopes. After all her using, abusing, and feedings, Victoria’s slaves finally take matters into their own hands, forcing Antonio’s daughter to face her own mortality......



"Hello Mother,



I have never conformed to normal societal standards; you know I have looked after my own cares, perhaps even selfishly some might say. However, amid this sad state in America’s affairs, it was in my best interests to marry. Yes, marry. I’m sure you wish to know his titles and ancestry for your histories, but none such matters to me. His name isn’t even important, for he wasn’t around long. His funeral is tomorrow in fact—a gentleman’s funeral for a wealthy gentleman from North Carolina.



I apologize if I’m late in my correspondence. You know I don’t like to write. I imagine you might have wished a traditional spectacle at this news, Mother, your one moment of pride and pretense that you have a normal daughter and a proper family. Ha!"



Previously we had a virtual summer visit with Cate Masters, and this Sunday November 6, we'll be having another Author's Spotlight with Cate to celebrate Debauchery. Catch up on our previous interview and stop by our new chit chat- as we will be having a special Debauchery: Victoria's Burning giveaway! You do want a chance at a free e copy, don't you? You know you do!

http://catemasters.blogspot.com/2010/...




I was also very touched this week to have several new friends contact me about how informative and inspiring the New Jersey Author's Network Panel on Getting Publishing was this past Tuesday in Cherry Hill. One fellow author has also blogged her praise. If you are a writer or aspiring author in the New Jersey area, do please consider joining our little group. More events are also in the works for 2012 and I can't wait!! Good thing I have 3 more helpings of Fate and Fangs to survive yet, teehee.
