Veil of Shadows…Now Available
Today is National Buy a Book Day…whether you pick up mine, or somebody else's, can you drop into your local bookstore and buy a book? Not online, but actually visit a bookstore if you can? We're hearing more and more about independent bookstores closing down, how Borders is having more layoffs, and B & N is shutting stores. According to writer Jaye Wells, Times Magazine actually had it listed in an article "Top Ten Things Today's Kids Won't Experience"… Read a Real Book… You know me, I...

Veil of Shadows…Random Snippets
He spoke with no trace of an accent. Hell, if it wasn't for his clothing, if it wasn't for the way her gut screamed at the sight of him, she could have mistaken him for one of her people.
"How considerate of you, showing such concern for us." She bared her teeth at him. "Any other reasons why you're darkening my doorstep?"
His brows came together, a puzzled frown on his face. "I've yet to darken a doorstep, witch."
"You're too damn close to our territory—too damn close to a whole lot of...

Veil of Shadows…Random Snippets
Two seconds later, she was on her feet, with his arms wrapped tight around her waist. In that moment, she didn't mind a bit. She let herself take a few seconds and then she eased away, looking for the others. The air was thick with dust, ash and debris and she grabbed a small, folded mask from her pocket. The thin mask would filter out the worst of the debris and she just hoped it thinned closer back to camp.
They were still miles away and the winds were blowing to west, hopefully it...

Veil of Shadows…Random Excerpts/Saturday Snippets
No. It wasn't him. As he turned to take down on the Raviners coming at her, she caught full sight of his face.
Syn hadn't ever seen him before in her life and every instinct inside her screamed as he used his blade on one of the remaining Raviners, laying the thing's neck wide open, nearly severing the head with one powerful blow. He moved like a pale shadow. Like death. Deadly and silent.
She couldn't watch him, though, because she had still had one of the power-hungry creatures to deal ...

Veil of Shadows…Random Snippets
"Done?" she asked quietly. He nodded.
Just as she lifted her comm-unit, the others chirped.
Elina and Lee, almost in sync, each said, "Done." Lee added in, "This baby is locked and loaded."
Syn shook her head and muttered, "Don't refer to the device as a child, Lee."
Lee just laughed.
"Just need to get this set," Syn said, ignoring Lee.
"Once we set them, we have forty-fives minutes to get clear and then these little bastards go boom."
"I'm ready," Elina said.
"Me, too. Let's get this done."

Hey… I passed 2500 followers on twitter
So about that 2500 follower contest-I passed 2500 followers sometime recently. That does mean… I will be doing a contest for a BN Nook.
BUT… it's gotta wait until next week. I'm leaving in the morning for Dragon*Con and um… well, I can't handle juggling a contest while I'm also juggling DC. Especially since this is my first time going and I have no idea what I'm getting into… Eek.
So next week, I'll get the Nook contest going… yes, it will be a twitter only contest-be warned, I've got a...
Open Door… got Qs?

I'm probably going insane today, since I leave tomorrow for DragonCon. Driving down, not flying. So instead of thinking up something clever and witty to blog about… why don't all do it for me? 
Any questions for me?
Can be book related, writing related…doesn't matter. Although, if it's something that could get long, I reserve the right to answer the question in separate blog post…
By the way, I'm doing another twitter contest… if you're twitter and...

Oh, @Scribd… how rude..
People put up free reads and now you want to make money off of their work, and naturally, copyright owners don't get jack, and of course, copyright owners have to jump through hoops to get their work off your site, while pirates make merry…
And you get to make $$ of it?
Bad, bad manners…
FYI, folks, if I were you? I wouldn't pay that subscription fee.
