Weekly Notes, December 1, 2014

  Straight from the desk of Alice Brown & Lady V: ​    

The release party for Up in Smoke was a huge success!  Thank you to all who took time out of their busy schedule two days prior to Thanksgiving to spend the afternoon/evening with us as we celebrated!  

Although we took some down time over the long Thanksgiving weekend to celebrate the holiday and decorate for Christmas, we have still been busy getting geared up for our next release:  Bite Me Baby.  This is a Paranormal Christmas Anthology which also includes the wonderfully talented Hazel Gower, Samantha Potter, Rayne O'Gara and Lei Carol!  We are looking forward to this multi-authored book being released Dec. 9, 2014!   Hope to have more information to share with you from that book!  

So, what is our story about in the anthology?  Vampires of course!  Can't have a paranormal Christmas without some vampires and shifters to even things out!

Have you checked out our website recently?  It is snowing!  And to get into the festive holiday spirit, we've added photos and music.  Enjoy!    http://AuthorAliceBrown.com

From the land of Dragonose!

Hi everyone!  Wow, did we have an eventful week last week!  First, we had Thanksgiving, and all the yummy food and goodies that go with the holiday.  Then, we pulled out Christmas decorations and a Christmas tree and we helped decorate the Christmas tree!

We even experienced our first Black Friday event!  Once is enough for us, thank you, and we've already promised our Texas Vampire Ranger friends that we would help them patrol from the sky next year.

Speaking of vampires, did you see our authors have a new paranormal Christmas story coming out?  Yep, Dec. 9, Bite Me Baby is released!

A Message from the Paws:  Shadow

Hi everyone!  I am still recuperating from eating too much turkey, potatoes, stuffing, vegetables, warm rolls with honey butter, and pie....PIE!!!  Mmmmm, what a feast!  And I even have pictures to share with you!  After the big meal, I had to take a long nap, my belly was full!

But later that evening, my owners left and came back with a tree that is now sitting in our house!  Can you believe it?  They brought in a tree, put all kinds of pretties on it, and then told me NOT to hike my leg on it. <snort>  Hey, I am a dog after all.

Now, we have a tree in the living room, and all kinds of decorations and pretties up throughout the house.  They are even putting up lights and decorations on the back porch for me to enjoy while I am outside.  How amazing is that?  Oh, and my mommy told me she has already started Christmas shopping for me.  Not sure what this means exactly, but I have a feeling I will like it!

Until next week, be good, and keep your eyes and ears open for strangers lurking.  I have heard someone by the name of Santa is watching?
