Posts 5, 6 & 7 on the tour

Goodness, I got behind on posting my guest posts. It's been quit a busy month wrapping up TST and doing interviews. Squeee... good news...TST is almost finished! Only a few more chapters left.

[image error] Post 5 was at Voracious Appetite with Kris. My guest post is here and her review is here. Kris asked really great questions and I  needed to do a little research for some of them, including who I'd cast for TET. I came up with two really yummy guys for Nicholas and Phil (and a sweetie for Julia).

Talisman's are Here!

Well, they are almost here. This is the mock-up necklace. If there's enough interest, we'll have them made for purchase. It was hard to find a true trillion cut stone, so these are a tiny bit rounded, but I still love them all the same.
So, I'm so thrilled. Didn't they turn out awesome?


I wanted to get feedback for anyone interested in getting
their own vampire protecting talisman. They'll be
$14 plus $2.50 for shipping. My designer needs
to order the stones so there's enough in stock.
If you...

Stop 4 - Being Extreme with Jen

For my stop today, I am happy to visit Jen at Extreme Reader Book reviews who so kindly sent me this amazing care package this week (with 2 kinds of Book Thongs matching TET and TST). I never get to do IMM posts because I don't do reviews or get books from publishers (other than my own usually).

This week, I scored. Not only did I get this amazing package with good luck presents and Hunger Games, but I also received Knight Angels by Abra Ebner, and Arson by Estevan Vega.

Woot!

So, for my tour, J...

Ultimate fangirlness

Beyond a tattoo, I don't know a deeper sign of a fan than for one to have a shirt made with your book cover (complete with my signature). Rhonda asked if she could get a shirt airbrushed of the cover and of course I said 'sure', but I had no idea what that would entail. My mouth is still gaping open. Isn't this amazing? Three cheers to the airbrusher! (But then should I be afraid they can copy my signature so well?) Thanks Rhonda for sharing this with me! I'm still speechless.

Also, I started ...

The Sapphire Talisman

The Sapphire Talisman, coming out in December and this may be the cover. When I look at it, I think tranquil blue waters... the beach where Julia and Nicholas hang out... and a path that leads to unknown destinations .

I love it. Do you?

I can't wait to share the sequel with you.

Mark your calendar for December 2010. We'll start the countdown soon!

Theme Song for Emerald Talisman

When writing the Emerald Talisman, I didn't have the luxury to escape and write in a quiet place. Usually, the background consisted of The Three Caballeros or Winnie the Pooh which were my kids favorite shows at the time. During editing though, I needed to feel the heat or speed of a scene (and to be alone). I turned to trance because it's one of my favs and it's usually wordless. But when I heard Fight For You by Morgan Page, I got chills. It's kinda perfect for either Julia or Nicholas, de...
