And the winners are …

Thank you to everyone who participated in my birthday giveaway and book sale! Your comments, tweets, and shares helped make my birthday a super fun day!

The winners are:

The Cupcakes (Etc) paperbacks are being mailed off to: Patricia from Saskatchewan (yay, fellow Canadian!!) and Sandy from New Jersey. Amy from Ohio also won via Goodreads.

The Time Walker paperback is winging off to Mary in Queensland, Australia. Oh, Mary, you’re going to get a kick out of the ending of the next Dowser book, Trinkets, Treasures, and Other Bloody Magic!!

Spirit Binder goes to Kelsey in Georgia. I totally got caught up reading a section of this book today … not your paperback, Kelsey. I would never! But now I want to be writing in that Universe … except I have at least two other novels to write before I can get back to it. GAH!

And After The Virus now belongs to Cindi from Missouri!

How freaking cool is that? Well, perhaps I’m the only one who gets super jazzed to send these paperbacks off to so many different places. But it’s my blog and my books, so I get to be jazzed!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Good news/Bad news…

Good news! The paperback proof for Time Walker FINALLY showed up. It was printed AND shipped on December 21st,2012 – like SO last year!

Time Walker paperback proofGood news! I love the cover, front and back.

Bad news! There’s something wonky with the indents (they’re WAY too indented).

interior Time Walker proof #1Good news! It turned out to be an easy fix.

Bad news! I will now probably need to reformat the cover, because the book is eight pages shorter – GRRR!!!!! This will delay the paperback release further.

Good news, that means I can probably lower the price!!

 

 

The final proofing pass of Time Walker

See this? That’s 274 pages (1.5 inches) of Time Walker printed and ready for my final proofing pass. I so hate wasting the paper, but I do find I discover more typos and punctuation glitches if my last pass is done on a printed manuscript.

Will I find all the typos that the proof readers missed? No way in hell. (grumble grumble). And cross my fingers you won’t see them either when you get your hands on your ebook copy later this week!!

Sample chapter reveal tomorrow!!

Spirit Binder book cover smallFrom November 30 to December 14, 2012 the Spirit Binder ebook will be available for $.99c in anticipation and celebration of the upcoming Time Walker release (ebook available December 7, 2012).

Introducing Time Walker

My young adult fantasy novel, Time Walker, is out to the beta readers, and I’m gearing up to publish it as an ebook and paperback on December 7, 2012. Time Walker is set ten years after the events of Spirit Binder, but it’s not necessary to have read Spirit Binder before you read Time Walker (though I, of course, recommend it – ha!)

Once again, the brilliant and ever so talented Irene Langholm worked her magic and came up with this gorgeous cover. I know I say this every time, but this one might be my favourite. It’s just so full of magic.

 

Synopsis: Beth was sneaky. No lock could hold her. No cage could confine her. No door could bar her way. But, when your adoptive mother is a Spirit Binder, and all your siblings are elementals, being sneaky doesn’t really rank. That is until the devastation of a city draws her omniscient mother’s attention, and her siblings go missing one by one, then Beth’s sneakiness is the only thing standing between her, her loved ones, and the worst enemy she’ll ever face: herself.

Just for fun A Book Vacation is running a countdown to publication over on her blog until December 7, 2012, so, if you want to win the paperback, enter over there!

I will be running a .99c promo with Spirit Binder for the week before and week after Time Walker’s publication … a little pre-Christmas present for anyone who hasn’t read it yet, and wants to read it ahead of time.
