On Giveaways

Because I had to cancel a giveaway on a social networking site, due to changes in their policies, I will be giving away the bundle of three books pictured here ( Forgotten Sea, by Virginia Kantra; Vampire in Atlantis, by Alyssa Day; and Shadow Walker by Allyson James) to one winner who entered our contest over on that social networking site.

Didn't enter? Didn't win? Don't worry! I'm taking my contests to this blog, to Twitter, and to Goodreads. I will give you all great opportunities to win great prizes. Watch this space. :-)

Shadow Walker Countdown = Month-long contest

To celebrate the release of Shadow Walker, I'm doing a contest with authors Virginia Kantra and Alyssa Day. We're trying to build our fan base on our Facebook fan pages, and as incentive, we're offering:

1. Grand Prize: A NOOK! to a person who has "Liked" all three of our FB pages--prize given once our FB pages reach 3000 fans each.

2. Each week, post on the "Author of the Week"'s FB fan page and win a prize from her.

(My week is next week, the 17th-24th, and I'll be giving away all three of our June books, in the photo here, once they're published.)

3. Links and Instructions are here!

Allyson James is a RITA finalist!

The calls have gone out, and STORMWALKER, by Allyson James is a RITA finalist in the Novel with Romantic Elements category. The Magic Mirror, the dragons, and Coyote are elated! (Mick and Janet are celebrating in their own way.)

This is the second time this series has gotten the nod. "A Little Night Magic," in Hot for the Holidays (Jamison and Naomi's story) was nominated last year in the Novella category.

Very cool!

December updates

I apologize for not updating anything here for a while--we had a death in the family and the last month has been pretty hectic and sad. That said, a couple of things are going on:

1. I sent Tales of the Shareem: Braden to my editor. She still has to accept it, but if she does, EC has a fairly short turnaround, so we should see that out in a couple of months (so cross your fingers she likes it). (It's a novel-length book.)

2. Pending approval, of course, I introduce a new Shareem--Justin--in Braden's book. His story will be next!

3. Thanks for all the emails and posts about FIREWALKER. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying it. SHADOW WALKER is next, out in June, as well as the novella in HEXED.

I think that's it for now. Everyone have a great Christmas and holiday season!
