The day after...

I'm both floored and thrilled with the response If I Die has gotten so far, and I can't say enough thank yous to those who've already hunted down a copy. Reviews like this and this have kept me smiling for two days. If your store doesn't have their shipment yet or has run out, you can always ask if they'll order it for you. Most book stores are happy to do that, and some can even have it shipped directly to your home.

If you missed it, yesterday's If I Die blog tour stop was at the Harlequin Paranormal romance blog, where my editor interviewed me. It was my editor's enthusiasm for My Soul To Take that got the Soul Screamers ball rolling, so I feel like she has a unique perspective on the subject.

And if you haven't asked Nash a question yet to enter this week's Soul Screamers prize pack give away (a signed set of the first five Soul Screamers books + Nash quote t-shirt), click here for instructions. Today's the last day. Tomorrow, Nash will be answering some questions and the winner will be announced.

This weekend, I'll be at Murder By The Book on Saturday at 1 pm, signing both Blood Bound and If I Die, then on Sunday I'll be at the Smart Chicks YA tour stop at Northwest Book Fest. If you come to either event, you can get a Shadow Bound post card, which features the Shadow Bound cover. Which I'm not planning to post online for another month.

I hope to see you there!

And...here's the Smart Chicks schedule for Northwest Bookfest (Which I've shamelessly stolen from Jeri Smith-Ready's blog. Because I'm lazy and she's already done the work. ;))
