Interview done

Just recorded my interview for http://www.theauthorsshow.com/ (second time).  My cell phone sounded much better than the landline. I also did my best to talk more since the last one was too short.  I had hoped for more questions to fill the time, but I think it went okay.  Should be up on the site next week!!!

Book Signing Coming Up!

My book signing is in a week.  I have decided on a trivia game (questions about me and about Sudden Moves) for a chance to win my next novel due out in May.  Questions are point value and if there is a tie (highly unlikely), I will email you a bonus question.  I won't know the winner until after the book signing so I can count up all the points.  I will also be giving out goodies such as bookmarks and magnetic calendars.

My job hours on that day are 6:00 - 2:30.  This book signing starts at 2:00.  I didn't know work was going to interfere at the time I scheduled my signing, or I would have asked for a different date.  I am trying my best to get the day off or at least get to leave early - the bookstore is only a 5-10 minute drive from work.  I am getting excited and hope to see everyone at 2:00 when it starts!

See ya on the 5th of March!

Blog is back

For some reason, my blog reappeared and my new one is gone.  I don't get this.  Anyway - a week and a half away from my book signing - if I make it there on time.  The PO messed with our schedules this week, putting me back to 6:00 - 2:30 with the book signing starting at 2:00.  Just love how they can control our lives like this.  I will keep everyone informed if I can get out early or take the last hour off of work.  Books have been delivered, so I am ready!

Book Signing!!

I scheduled my first book signing today!  Saturday March 5 at I Know You Like A Book on Prospect Rd. in Peoria, IL.  2:00 marks the time!  I hope to see everyone there - this is an indepently owned bookstore who supports local authors!  Come on out and pick up Sudden Moves!  You won't be disappointed!!!  I am going to stop at their book signing this weekend and see how it's done.  I have never been to one, believe it or not!!!  Very excited!

Books sent!

I sent out some books to reviewers, taken from the names that Outskirts sent me.  They all write for a newspaper, magazine, or blog, so I hope they will review Sudden Moves or interview me.  I would be thrilled to receive an inteview!  I want to post one up on my website for everyone to read.  I also emailed the Peoria Journal Star again.  They turned me down the first time, but I sent them the review I received on Amazon's Kindle store - from Suzanne Parrott of Unruly Guides in Oregon.  I hope they will reconsider and mention my book in the paper.  I just received my address labels from Vista Print featuring the book cover, my website and address.  I really wish they would use bigger font, but I had to squeeze everything in - as much info as I could get to let people know about the book.  The more exposure the better!!
I also won a book in Goodreads book giveaway!  Let's Kill Uncle my Rohan O'Grady and it sounds good!  I put Sudden Moves in for a giveaway - open until the middle of Feb, so enter to win your copy!!!  http://www.goodreads.com/  

New review!!

I saw this cool review on Amazon for Sudden Moves - Paperback version.  Amazon separates their reviews where Barnes & Noble shows all reviews in every format (hardback, paperback, ebook, etc)  This one was a surprise and I am glad that boys enjoy the book as well!

<<This book is for everyone. Grandmas [me] teenagers and young people will like it. Two of my teenage grandsons read this and said it was good. That is great for boys to say. Try it you'll like it and then you'll only want more. >>
