A week until Sole Support; win a copy
My next novel, Sole Support, comes out from Samhain in a week, on June 4th. I'm both excited and nervous about the release. (What else is new, right?)
This book was one I wrote as both something fun and creative, and a therapy of sorts, working through the emotions of an elderly parent's downhill slide. It was my chance to pull out a happy ending for those who love her, if not for the parent herself. There are bits and pieces of me in this story, from things about the guys to details of the supporting characters. There's a lot of my mother in the mom here. It's dedicated to my mother's caregivers, who are invaluable and worth more than I could ever describe, or begin to pay.
So a personal book... but it still has to stand on its own merits. Readers have to believe the plot, cheer for the guys, and enjoy the story. I hope you will.
Chris at Stumbling Over Chaos is running a contest for a free copy of Sole Support (or perhaps more than one - I'll donate another if we hit 100 entries.) The contest starts at 2 AM CDT on May 28th and runs for one week.
I'll put up an excerpt in a couple of days, to give you a look at Mike and Kellen. Hopefully you'll enjoy meeting my guys.

Yeah, the contest opens at 2 AM, (in an hour) but I didn't want to stay up that late to post this. I probably should have waited till tomorrow.
Ah, okay. :)Europe is waking up... it's 8 AM here in Germany. :)

I was almost about to complain as well. Oh well, waiting another 45 minutes then.

Thanks, and good luck. I'll probably do another free copy on my own blog here after it releases. Books are my biggest luxury purchase too. (Only I call them an essential.) Amazing how it adds up.

Nothing to worry about. My colleagues from the UK manage to confuse me all the time scheduling dates for video conferences. Some of them use MEST (GMT+2), some BST (GMT+1).
Well, it's cool that we can meet up so easily with people around the world, but yeah, I can never remember who's on what time.
And the link now works which means bed for me - see you all tomorrow/later.
Thanks for the mention!LOL, darn timezones. ;)

I, too, have pre-ordered it. I've also set up a reminder via my Windows calendar so that I make sure my NOOK downloads it that day! I can't wait to read it!

I pre-ordered it a couple weeks ago. Counting it as my birthday gift to myself. :) I can't wait to read!

The link to the contest doesn't work (at least on my ipad). ;)
