Saints & Sinners Weekend!

You know what you should be doing right now? Grabbing a lawn chair, and heading over to the http://www.bookish-brunette.com/ because you will want to be there all weekend. It's going to be like camping out on Thanksgiving and waiting for Black Friday. Only a million times better because Saints & Sinners will be in a state of constant giveaways! No money spent, and no need to worry over being pepper sprayed by some crazy broad at the Walmart.

What is Saint's & Sinners you ask? Besides what will likely be the best giveaways to hit the blogosphere this year--we discuss the most important people in the books we love.

That's right, the smoking hot dudes!

Now some of the awesomeness will be spilling on to my blog this weekend as well, you will just have to check back often and stayed glued to Twitter to find out. I will also be adding links to all the content over at BB's to the bottom of this post.

While the Cat's Away WEEKEND Long Twitter Event

Yes, a whole weekend of giveaways! But you are going to have to tweet to win. Up for grabs are 4 Skeleton Lake ebooks. For Nook, Kindle, or whatever ereader you covet. It's easy to win! Simply chat using the hash tag #thecatsaway in honor of this mouse playing while her publisher is away.

Already have Skeleton Lake? No problem! You can still win. Your options are 1. To gift the book to someone else--simply tell me who you'd like it to go to when you contact me (you will need their email address) or 2. Tell me you'd like to win Pigments of My Imagination instead, and receive your ebook in the beginning of December!

AND!

If you recall, I said I had some big personal deadlines this weekend. My goal is to finish my super secret project by 11:59 Sunday night. If I make it someone chatting with us on Twitter will receive an autographed paperback copy of Skeleton Lake and an copy of Pigments of My Imagination when it comes out in paperback in December! Sort of a one now one later kind of thing.

Get chatting people! I love my readers, and I want to give things away.

I will be drawing random chatters at noon and 9pm both days! See you there! (All times are PDT)

Don't forget, you can still enter to win Shatter Me, Crossed, and The Pledge in my awesome Nov release giveaway. Click Here for directions.

Read THIS Before You Do Anything Else

Just some super quick notes!
1) Sara, who owns and mostly operates the publisher I am on, Red Iris Books, is away. So I can do whatever I want. Including being lazy and giving away a ton of ebooks. Not really... about the lazy part anyway. This weekend I have a serious personal writing deadline, so I will be giving away several kindle/nook copies of SKELETON LAKE at will. Please invite all of your friends that haven't read it. All the giveaways will happen on Twitter but I will be blogging times so check it out!

2) Don't forget about the AMAZING contest where you can win 3 hardback copies of some of the best November releases here:
Sweet November Release Prize Pack including: Shatter Me, The Pledge, & Crossed.

3) Did you know in the ebook version of SKELETON LAKE there is a Pigments of My Imagination excerpt? You should read it, because next week I will be asking questions about it, and giving away awesome Pigments prizes!

My Book Launch is CURSED

Oh Well, 3rd Times a Charm GIVEAWAY! I also wanted something big to celebrate hitting 3k on Twitter!

In an effort to quickly reschedule the launch of Breathe and Pigments of My Imagination I made a really huge mistake. The plan was to release it on the 21st and have a Rockin' Twitter Launch Party that Friday...which if I had bothered to look at a calender I would have realized was BLACK FRIDAY.

I had a lot of success with my first Twitter Launch of Skeleton Lake, and I know attempting one on BLACK FRIDAY where people are shopping, traveling, and asleep after waking up a 3am to score some serious deals isn't the best course of action.

After sobbing to my Publisher, Red Iris Books, I was assured it wouldn't KILL me to reschedule it a last time. After talking about it to death, we came up with the date 12/2/11

The world better not end before then!

Anyway on to the giveaway. People actually threatened me when I rescheduled the last time! Since you won't be reading Pigments in November, I figured I'd give away some SWEET November releases to appease the masses.

Here we go! All these books will be coming to you off of Amazon directly, because if you know me, you know that I only hate the post office has much as it hates me! So no wait once the winner sends me their info ;)

Contest ends 11/30!

The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio. Or in this case, the book launch.

Motivational songs for writers come in many forms and even more odd genres. Usually for general motivation purposes in writing; I prefer songs like Eye of the Tiger, and Vampire Money. No matter what your beliefs are about the overuse of the undead, most of us would admit to being OK with the money and fame Stephenie Meyer has achieved.

Everyone else would be lying.

With all the book launch drama, you would think I'd remember I was gearing up for one! Instead I have become almost fixated with other events to keep me from feeling bad about it. But no more! This week I am getting my priorities in order.

The dash board may have melted, but I still have the radio! Which given my love of motivation music, I'd say it's the best possible scenario. And it could have been, should have been worse than you would ever know, but it wasn't. So I should be thankful, and get my butt in gear!

Yay for Modest Mouse, who made my Monday that much more motivational!

Angela Kulig and Mel McCullough Split From the Dark Carma Tour

I've been sitting on this for a few days now, just because I didn't know what to say about it. Mel and I splintered away from the Dark Carma tour. No one yelled, screamed, or kicked us out. We left on our own, and it was the best thing to happen for everyone. It doesn't mean we don't love them, or won't support them--because we will! It just means Mel and I had to do what was best for us. It's always hard when you are dealing with people you care about, but at the end of the day if you have vastly different ideas on how your books should be released, you have to do what you think is right for your work.

Mel and I will be pushing back the release date of our books to 11/21 to further seperate ourselves. It's not as cool looking as 11-11-11; which was even the date that I pushed for, but it's quite symbolic, as I released SKELETON LAKE on 10-21. Our co-launch, and future launches are going to be organized under the name
