After a hard weekend of fighting off illness, I have revived and run charging straight at Troll or Derby again:
As you may have noticed, I've shaved 10k off the total word count, because I don't think it's going to stretch out that long. I've just set the stage (literally) for the final epic showdown, and all that's left to do is unleash the angry hoards, start up the battle of the bands, and see who emerges victorious: Kirk or Spock.
Totally kidding. That's another book.
Hey! Feeling Christmasy? I saw this vintage elf vignette (up top) and couldn't help myself. I dig stuff like that the MOST. I'm playing Elf, myself, today. (I like smiling. Smiling's my favorite.) If you like getting gifts in the mail, today's the last day to enter the giveaway of Alexandra Lanc's Clara Claus, and the matching ornament she's offering for one lucky winner. Click on this post for a little Christmas decor porn, and to read Alexandra's thoughts on Hope and Love and Family & Stuff.
Hey, I know what you're thinking. "Seems like everyone I know has a book out, these days. If only there were some way to meet all these debut authors, and win free stuff from them." Okay, so you weren't thinking that at all. However, everyone loves free stuff when it's connected to a book they enjoy, and it just so happens I know a few authors writing in various genres who are ready to share their good tidings of joy this time of year. Today Elizabeth Mueller is starting the dance in the Debut Author Tour. Check out Darkspell and see if it's for you.
Today's Monday Funny is ready! I'll be doing custom comics again as part of the Red Tash Christmas I promised you, coming up…stay tuned to find out how you can win one of your own, all about YOU, baby.

The next thing I need to do today before penning guest blogs for Jeff Mariotte & Ty Hutchinson is send an email to my mailing list. Are you on my mailing list? Do you want to be?
I guess the better question would be "Why would you want to be?" Well, the answer to that is pretty straight-forward: 1.) You're a fan of mine (ah, shucks!) and 2.) You want to be the first to know what I'm up to, in terms of work and the fun little hijinks I get up to on the site (in other words, giveaways & stuff) and 3.) You like to share your opinions. I have my mailing list to thank for the final iteration of This Brilliant Darkness' paperback cover. I emailed them and they responded right away, and it was *their* voices that I took to heart. (That book should be available this week.)
I don't email them very often, but when I do, they don't let me down, so I try and keep them up-to-date with the best insider info into what my plans are each month.
Dying to sign up? Just email me at RedTashBooks (at) gmail (dot) com, and put "email list" in the subject line. I shall add you. That's all you have to do, although if you'd like to send me love letters, those are never turned away, either. I just have to warn you, lest you get too amorous, Mr. Tash is always packing. Fa la la la, lovies!
