February Appearances and a MYTHIC Character Post!

Greetings All!

2012 is off to a wonderful start and I've been BUSY! As you may know, I'm one of the featured small press authors at this year's Authors After Dark convention in New Orleans! That said, there will be a few "Author Spotlights" on several different blogs. I hope you don't grow tired of hearing from me.

A few weeks ago I posted a poll to Facebook asking which character you'd like to hear from outside the series. I had a unique opportunity to write a guest post about New Orleans and Mardi Gras through a character's perspective. Well the results are in!

On February 5th, Mattias Vitale will dish about the city and its festivities. Want to see what the sinister vampire coven leader had to say? Visit Literary Escapism on 2/5 to find out. Show me some love with a comment, too! I'm giving away a copy of MYTHIC to a lucky commenter.

On February 6th, join me at That's What I'm Talking About for an interview and a giveaway. Comment and show me how much you love me, won't you?

To sweeten the deal, if you leave a comment at both appearances AND here on my blog the day the posts go live, I'll send you one serious box of swag INCLUDING the first of the Blood Moon magnets!

And just in case you wanted to know what I've been doing with myself over the past few months, here you go...

Authors After Dark 2011 and a GIVEAWAY!

I'm back from AAD and I'm EXHAUSTED (in a good way, promise).

This year I had the pleasure of being a member of Stella Price's convention staff and it was an epic experience. From the moment I pulled up to the hotel with some 5,000 books sent by various publishers, I worked my ass off! Between filling welcome bags with several pounds of swag from over 100 authors, to setting up ballrooms for dinners, organizing the Bookie Awards ceremony, attending the costume balls, and other things on the fly, the experience was a rewarding one.

Besides meeting new readers and seeing old friends, this was my first con where I attended as an author. That's right! It was a career milestone. During the public book signing on Saturday, I found it surreal that people asked for MY autograph. Yes, the sensation is still foreign. But the proud expression splayed across my husband's face as he witnessed this, was priceless. <3

With the end of the Philly convention, preparations for Authors After Dark in New Orleans in 2012 are well underway! I'm looking forward to another successful event next year!

Were you at the conference? Plan to go in 2012? Comment for an Authors After Dark welcome bag full of the swag I mentioned (including a few novels). Don't forget to include your email address! I'll announce the winner next Sunday (8/28).

Oh and I have pictures! Enjoy...
