Six Sentence Sunday
First, a bit of business. Tomorrow is Excerpt Monday and, like usual, I'll be participating. I've queued up a scene from Flash of Dark, book 1 in the Rebirth series, were we get to see the main characters first kiss. Also, tomorrow (usually between 5 pm and 7pm EST) Flash of Dark releases. I've still got my Release Day contest going here and it ends tomorrow and I'll also be doing an interview over at The GeekyBookworm tomorrow as well.
Busy day!
To settle in and relax, since I spend my...

New Cover Art – Check Out the Shiny!
That was a great blog tour yesterday! Hope everyone had as much fun as I did. I'm still wiping my chin of drool for the hotness. For those that may have missed it, don't worry – there's already another one in the works.

The only rule is that you...

Contest Reminder
The calendar days continue to fall away and it's quickly approaching January 18th. Don't forget to enter for your chance to win a "goodie" pack to help celebrate the upcoming release for Flash of Dark. Nothing too fancy, but some things that correlate to the book and the characters. I had them made specifically for the release contest and they are one-of-a-kind items that I won't have made again, but most importantly – a free download of Flash of Dark.
You can either email...

A New Look, an Announcement, a Release Date & Contest for Flash of Dark
Couple of things today: new clothes for the site, an announcement, a release date & a contest.
Let's go in order, shall we?
The site has had a make over (if you still see the old clothes, refresh/reload the page to clear your cache) thanks to some graphic work I did, which also includes some desktops to celebrate the impending release. Check out the Flash of Dark page (under the "Rebirth series" tab) to see what I'm taking about.
I am pleased to announce that I just signed a contract with...

Curling Up with Nook – B&N's eReader Review
Now that I've gotten some hard-core time in with my Nook, I thought I would share my experience. I should preface this all by saying, this is my first dedicated eReader. I've always just read my eBooks on my computer or my BlackBerry. Needless to say, even with a tablet PC, it always got cumbersome. I've been waffling back and forth on dedicated eReaders for several years and I liked the overall specs & look of this one over the other on the market I'd been flirting with – Kindle and Sony...
