It's here!

Today's the official Blood Bound release day!


Kind of.


If you live in the US or Canada and want a paperback copy, today is the release day.


If you live in the UK or want a US e-copy, you have to wait for September 1. I don't know why. Why is the sky blue? Why do fish swim? Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?


Well, I actually know the answer to those first two. But I don't know about the release date discrepancies. Or the birds. Frankly, that Carpenter's song always reminds me of Hitchcock, which is just weird.


But back to the point...


If you live outside of the US, Canada, or the UK, you can order a copy from The Book Depository, because they're awesome! Although I believe there are some Australian book stores that are actually importing copies. (If you know of one, please leave me a message, and I'll link to the store.)


Want to win a signed copy of Blood Bound ? How about two of them (one for you, one for a friend!). Want them personalized? Here's how you can enter to win:


Post the official Blood Bound blurb, the cover, the video teaser (all three are found in this post), a link to some place the book can be legally purchased, and whatever else you'd like to say about the book or me as a writer (bonus points if you don't use words like hag, hack, or the phrase "blight upon the publishing industry"). Then fill out the form here, including a direct link to your post.


Yes, previous posts/reviews count, so long as they include all three required elements.


(Please do NOT paste in a general link to your blog. I just don't have the time to scroll through back entries when I'm verifying, and I do all this myself. So I really need a link to the actual post.)



Acceptable places to post: Your personal blog. Facebook note. Etc...



Unacceptable places to post: someone else's blog, FB page, author site, etc... Also, anywhere I can't go without joining. Facebook is the exception, because I have a Facebook account.



Deadline: September 1, 2011. Also known as "The Other Release Date."


The official blurb:

By blood, by word, by magic…


Most can't touch the power. But Liv Warren is special— a paranormal tracker who follows the scent of blood.


Liv makes her own rules, and the most important one is trust no one.


But when her friend's daughter goes missing, Liv has no choice but to find the girl. Thanks to a childhood oath, Liv can't rest until the child is home safe. But that means trusting Cam Caballero, the former lover forbidden to her.


Bound by oath and lost in desire for a man she cannot have, Liv is racing to save the child from a dark criminal underworld where secrets, lies, trauma and danger lurk around every corner…every touch…every kiss.


And more blood will be spilled before it's over…
