Julesfest: Day 1

WELCOME TO JULESFEST!

Jules? Is that you?

Welcome to Julesfest, a week+ -long celebration of that undead hottie with the Pépé le Pew accent: Jules Marchenoir. Every day I will post a different photo of the sizzling hot revenant (or anyone who might slightly resemble him…like this guy who appeared when I googled “Jules model”).

Here are his vitals:

Name: Jules Marchenoir

Born: 1897, near Paris

Died: September 1916 at the battle of Verdun, age 19.

Hair: Sandy brown, curly.

Eyes: Tawny brown/chestnut.

Other vitals: 5’9”, scruffy hair, large rough hands, often has razor stubble, freckles on arms.

Defining characteristics: Gesticulates enthusiastically when he talks. Is an artist (painter).

Preferred weapon: Sword.

The whole reason for this fest is the April 2 launch of Jules’s own book, DIE FOR HER, which is an e-novella. You can pre-order it here.

And here’s the pretty cover, which is so Paris-licious it makes me want to roll around in a mountain of macarons. Hmm…where was I? Oh yes…

DIE FOR HER – Here’s the official summary:

Set in the romantic and death-defying world of the international bestselling Die for Me trilogy, this digital original novella follows Jules, a brooding, immortal French artist who has fallen in love with his best friend’s girlfriend.

Jules Marchenoir is a revenant—an undead being whose fate forces him to sacrifice himself over and over again to save human lives. He’s spent the better part of the last century flirting his way through Paris, but when he met Kate Mercier, the heroine from Amy Plum’s Die for Me trilogy, he knew his afterlife had changed forever and he had found the love of his life. Until Kate fell for his best friend, Vincent. Now Jules is faced with an impossible decision: choosing between his loyal friend and a love truly worth dying for.

So how do we celebrate Jules? Every day I’m going to be giving away a present, each one bigger than the day before. For example, today, Day 1, I’ll be giving away one of my brand new bookmarks, signed.

Tomorrow I’ll be giving away my brand new bookmark and the UNTIL I DIE bookmark, both signed.

Thursday, it’ll be the two signed bookmarks plus a signed and dedicated bookplate:

And the prize will keep getting bigger until April 2, on which those of you who have pre-ordered DIE FOR HER will be able to pick up your e-Readers and read it yourself!

On April 3, I will have the final JULESFEST GIVEAWAY, which will include 9 gifts!

And then on April 4, the JULESFEST will come to a close with the first day of the YA Scavenger Hunt, for which I am posting a video where I will read you a BIG CHUNK (maybe chapter 1) of DIE FOR HER.

Today, Day 1 of JULESFEST, all you have to do is leave a comment below telling me what your nickname for Jules would be if he were your boyfriend. Oh yes, I want to see inside your private life with the sexy revenant. So DO TELL!

I will randomly choose a winner every day and announce it on the final comment and on FB. Be sure to give me some way to contact you!

Let JULESFEST begin!!!
