Carina Countdown

I'm the featured author today over on the Carina Press blog as we count down to launch!  The first post is up, which describes the premise of the book and where the original idea came from.  Later today, the first chapter will be posted to whet your appetite for June!

Fun facts about the book and me will be posted on Facebook and Twitter today as well.  For example, I ordered coffee from Atitlan, Guatemala because that's where the bulk of the story is set.

I already blogged about the background idea for My Gigolo.  What's your favorite element in the story?  (I think she's going to say the pirate mini-golf course, so let's see if I'm right.)

Molly:  if I ever won the powerball jackpot, I am building that mini golf...

Molly Burkhart's My Gigolo

In case the name doesn't give it away, Molly really is my sister, and her debut novel My Gigolo releases from Samhain today.  I'll have an interview with her later today, but first, let me tell you a little of the background about how this book came to be.
