The end of December is NEVER a good time to schedule a website
update--I always scramble at the last minute. So this is a
double-month update. And that's why you see a huge list of
updates this month.
Have a great holiday season and I'll see you in February!
I added a few designs to CafePress last month. There are
now Frostbitten shirts, a second Otherworld shirt design and a
Lyle House design for the Darkest Powers
series. All three also come as pillows--my first
foray into that. As always, they're all priced at cost
(i.e. there's no mark-up that I collect from sales). Click
here for store details.
Finally, I have sample chapters for Made to
Be Broken, the second Nadia book, which is due out at the
beginning of March. I've posted the first three chapters.
To read them, click here for the book
page, then click the chapter links that open in the left-hand
menu.
And three chapters for The Awakening,
too. This is the second Darkest
Powers book, which is due out at the
beginning of May. To read the chapters, click
here for the book
page, and scroll down to the Sample Chapters heading.
We also have cover art already for the American edition of
Frostbitten, due out in November 2009.
To see it, click here for the book
page. The first few chapters will come in April (or March,
if you get the newsletter, which always includes early links)
There will be a 2009 novella...but it's for the
Darkest Powers series. The
subject was chosen by poll and will be announced in my December
1 "Chloe blog" on
MySpace and
LiveJournal. The story will be replacing her
twice-monthly blog entries starting January 15.
Our holiday selection is A.J. Menden's debut, Phenomenal Girl
Five.
This month we have an enter-to-win and a jigsaw contest
featuring the UK cover of Men of the
Otherworld.
The prize? A signed copy of any of my books.
At the end of January, I'll draw two winners for each contest
(double the usual # because the contest covers two months).
And keep an eye on my Twitter updates the first week in December
for that promised second Men of the
Otherworld ARC giveaway!
