Amazon has an update!
For those of you who downloaded Undying in the first few days after release, you know there were several typos and some formatting issues.
I'm horrible about letting things go, and I kept editing AFTER I had the book edited, meaning I introduced new errors (and a few formatting issues as well).
I can't live with a book like that, however. Yes, even big publishers often have books with typos in them, but to have several errors is simply not my style. Not when people are paying for my book.
As such, I fixed them. I've been updating the file every time I caught something (or someone caught something for me), but those who purchased the book in the first few days have the most errors in their copies.
I asked Amazon if they would kindly push that update out to buyers. If you already have notes and things highlighted and can live with the errors, feel free to keep the copy you have. If you do want everything corrected, however, you have to follow the directions in the email you should have received from Amazon to download it; even having automatic updates turned on won't do it for you for this one.
As always, thank you so much for your support. Those of you waiting for the iBooks/Nook/Kobo version, please thank your Amazon-purchasing neighbors for suffering through the kinks while I put this first book out.
I have some exciting things coming up in the next couple of months, so stay tuned! I can't wait to share them with you!

No Tricks, Undying is FREE today!
Halloween is my very favorite day.
I have no idea why, but I love it. I love costumes and candy and kids scaring the crap out of each other and Tim Burton movies and pumpkin seeds and everything about it.
EVERYTHING.
And I want to share my Halloween with everyone.
SO, if you are that person who’s been waiting for a price drop on my book, TODAY IS YOUR LUCKY DAY. And it’s going to be your only lucky day. For today (and today only), because it is Halloween, you can download the Kindle version of UNDYING for free. (This goes from 12 AM PST to 11:59 PM PST on 10/31. Ish. Depending on Amazon’s vagaries.)
Think of it like you coming trick or treating to my house, and I give you a book instead of a candy bar.
Of course, if you want the dead tree version, you can still buy that one, and it ALSO comes with a free Kindle version thanks to Kindle MatchBook.
If you already read it? Did you like it? Do you want other people to read it? Go ahead and gift away. Make like those parents who bring their truckloads of kids to the neighborhood where they give out full-sized candy bars instead of the fun size.
On 11/1, Dia de los Muertos, the book returns to its regular price, so move fast, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
(I’m going as Mr. Black from Diane Setterfield’s upcoming Bellman & Black: A Ghost Story. Are you dressing up?)
