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
All the info on that is coming ASAP!

Angela Doesn’t Need A Fancy Book Tour, She needs YOU

Just some quick notes about Dark C.A.R.M.A.
& Pigments of My Imagination

 
Dark C.A.R.M.A. Tour
 
PigmentsOfMyImagination-CoverC1

Next week I will switch to full launch mode of Skeleton Lake.
That means DARK C.A.R.M.A. will be harder to squeeze in, and there are something's that need to be accomplished for it soon.

As of this moment, I have no blog tour dates scheduled for Pigments of My Imagination, zip, zilch, nada.

I do however, have a really awesome  tour planned for Skeleton Lake. I don’t think when I signed up for this craziness that I understood how impossible it would be to book two tours on top of each other. So, what I was thinking was before I beg, plead, and bribe, I would hit up my friends with blogs if they would please post about Pigments of My Imagination from 11/11-11/22

The REM Street Team will be having all kinds of contests involving Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, etc but if you could commit to a blog about the book on any of these dates that would be great—and you know I like to reward my friends.

Wondering what you can post about? Well, you can write about whatever you want, or snag any of my posts about it from 11/11 onward—or if you want me to do a guest post I can do that too. I’m up for pretty much anything AHEM book related that is.

Love Me LOVE Me say that you love me in the comments—or you know, just tell me you can devote your blog for a day.
