New Releases Dec. 24-31 and Reader’s Choice C*ntest

It’s the last Reader’s Choice contest of the year! And we have a pretty good list this week, so see what you’d like to read. Of this list, there are lots of releases in long-running series that I haven’t read, so I’m going kind of off my normal path this week and picking as my most-wanted The Hermetic Millennia by John C. Wright, which sounds fascinating.
What do you want to read? As always, leave a comment telling me the book you’d most like to win, and maybe random.org will mak...<![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]>

Scene-Snippet Sunday (and Weekly W*nners)

Read a Deleted Chapter from Royal Street: Booked

Thanks for joining me for "Free Fiction Week"--it has been fun tweaking and re-posting my Sentinels short stories. I'm finishing off the week with a deleted chapter from Royal Street. It was a chapter I liked, but, as my editor pointed out, it didn't really "advance the story." But it was fun!

Caridad Pineiro's Campaign for New Jersey Hurricane Relief

(Coming tomorrow: The final story of Free Fiction Week, "Pirate's Alley"!)
Those of you who come to this site often know that my own experiences as a New Orleanian during Hurricane Katrina had a big impact on my life, in ways both good and bad. I was able to use my own experiences in my books, both in the inspiration for my Sentinels of New Orleans series and as a way to continue supporting Southeast Louisiana (a percentage of author royalties from the sale of River Road are being donated to t...
