I’m Back!
Back from NYC and the Backspace Conference! Lots to post about, and lots to catch you up on, but for now, I’ve blogged over at the League.
Another Author Spotlight…
…this time, over at Melissa Schroeder’s blog! Come on over and comment for a chance to win books! (Oooh, books!)
And now I’m off to NYC to the fantabulous BACKSPACE CONFERENCE! Will be back on Sunday, August 10. Have a terrific week, everyone; buy oodles of copies of HOTTER THAN HELL (they make terrific holiday prezzies — and it’s never too early to start your holiday shopping); and remember: love your inner demon.
Ciao!
Yes, More Bloggy Goodness
Happy Hump Day!
I blogged at AccessRomance. Come check it out, and comment for a chance to win a signed copy of HOTTER THAN HELL.
And the Girlfriends’ Cyber Circuit continues at the blogs of…
Joanne Rendell, author of THE PROFESSORS’ WIVES CLUB
And a million thanks to RINDA, who emailed me a PDF of the super secret AdC review. Three-star review, most of which is a pretty accurate summary, and closes with: “If you can keep up, it is interesting.” Yay, interesting! Thanks again, Rinda, for scanning, PDFing, and emailing the review to me!
More Bloggy Love
(I know — you misread the title as “doggy love,” didn’t you?)
Lots of goodness from teh interwebs and Blogland.
The amazing Mark Henry is holding a contest at his blog — both at the blogspot version and at the LJ edition. Yes, HOTTER THAN HELL plays a part in it. Go see!
The terrific Jim C. Hines posted his thoughts about HOTTER THAN HELL, and is very, very honest. I admire that in a person!
The gorgeous and talented Dakota Cassidy, on HOTTER THAN HELL.
And the fabulous Richelle Mead, on HOTTER THAN HELL and other novels out this week.
More HOTTER THAN HELL reviews:
Gwen at The Good, The Bad, and the Unread reviewed HOTTER THAN HELL.
AztecLady reviewed HOTTER THAN HELL over at Karen Knows Best.
Romance Junkies weighs in on HOTTER THAN HELL.
Here’s what Mrs. Giggles has to say about HOTTER THAN HELL.
Amberkatze’s Book Blog also reviewed HOTTER THAN HELL.
Apparently, Affaire de Coeur also reviewed HOTTER THAN HELL, but because it didn’t score a five-star rating, you need to subscribe to read the review. Huh. **scratches head** I don’t subscribe, so I have no idea what they said about the book. If you subscribe, and you’re so inclined, go for it.
Book Buzz Tuesday!
It’s August 5, and there are a bunch of fabulous books available now!
GALE FORCE, Rachel Caine. Part of the fantabulous Weather Wardens series, this latest installment finds Joanne Baldwin in the most dangerous situation of all: planning her own wedding. Oh, yeah, and saving the world. Again. **grin** I love, love, love this series. All hail Rachel Caine! (Order from Powells here.)
LORD TOPHET, Gregory Frost. This latest by Greg is the sequel to the acclaimed fantasy novel SHADOWBRIDGE (both from Del Rey Books). If you haven’t met Leodora yet, read the Cat and Muse interview with her. And then go get SHADOWBRIDGE and LORD TOPHET, and you’ll see why Greg has been nominated for every major fantasy award. (Order from Powells here.)
COUNTDOWN, Michelle Maddox. I freaking LOVED this book. As Michelle Rowen, her paranormal romances are light and funny. But as Michelle Maddox, her futuristic romantic fantasy kicks ass and takes names. The book starts fast and gets faster. USA Today bestselling author Cheyenne McCray says this about COUNTDOWN: “An intense thrill ride with mind-blowing twists and turns at every corner. Michelle Maddox weaves danger, excitement, and heat that will leave you breathless.” I agree completely. (Order from Powells here.)
STORM BORN, Richelle Mead. Richelle is one of those rare authors who could write the dictionary and make it an amazing read. I’d gleefully buy anything she writes. This all-new series introduces us to Eugenie Markham, a shaman who banishes the spiritual nasties that threaten the mortal world — and who is front and center of a prophecy that claims her child will be A Player in the world. So you know **every** supernatural dude wants to get into Eugenie’s pants. Or kill her. (Order from Powells here.)
UNDERGROUND, Kat Richardson. Book three in the Greywalker series. Death, doom and destruction are threatening Seattle, and it’s up to PI Harper Blaine to make it all okay. Ass-kicking ensues. See why New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris calls Harper “a great heroine.” (Order from Powells here.)
ISBN UPDATE
I’m pleased to report that the ISBN snafu has been worked out. As of July 29, B&N seems to have ordered the correct ISBN, and stores should have the book in stock. So it’s official: run out and get yourself a copy (or two) of HOTTER THAN HELL today! That’s right: August 5 is officially launch day for HOT also! Huzzah! Many thanks for your patience during this mixup.
