Can You Hear Me Now?

I'm very excited about my web appearance tonight at The Savvy Readers' Cafe, and I hope that you can join me! I'll be reading from my upcoming release, Take a Chance On Me, as part of their Five Nights of Samhain Romance series. Get a sneak peek at the new book!

Here are the details...

Savvy Authors welcomes Samhain Publishing to The Savvy Readers Cafe!

Join us for five magical nights of Samhain romance, and hear some of the freshest voices in original ebook fiction spin their tales in The Savvy Readers Cafe. Beginning Monday, Feb. 14 from 9-10 p.m. EST, each author will read a brief excerpt of their latest novel and take questions if time allows in a live webinar.

Win an eReader! During each 10-15 minute segment, a moderator will mention the "secret word" for listeners to log into their Savvy Readers Cafe contest form. Each secret word correctly matched with the author gives each attendee a raffle ticket to win an e-reader*! (E-reader raffled at noon Feb. 19.)

During the webinar you will have the opportunity to chat live with Samhain authors and ask them questions.

Join Samhain authors Kate Davies, Imogen Howson and Bianca D'Arc as they read excerpts from their books and take questions via a live webinar.

Hope to see you there!

Random Post of Randomness!

* Take A Chance On Me, my upcoming title from Samhain, is now on the Coming Soon pages, and available for preorder! Better yet, it's discounted - so if you buy it now, you'll save some coin, and it'll show up in your account on release day. It's also on the Men In Uniform bestseller list already. Cool, huh?

* Silent House, a horror film from the team that produced Open Water, screened at Sundance over the weekend and just sold to Liddell for $3 million. Congrats to the cast and crew, which includes Eric Sheffer Stevens as the uncle, and the reason I'm even tracking the sales information for this film in the first place. A huge thank you to Parrish Hurley, who verified the sales info for us. You rock, Parrish! (And ABC News, FAIL. Next time, be sure there's a sale before you report it, because we believed you.)

* Loved Hawaii Five-O last night. Glad the ratings were good! Just wish the DVR hadn't cut off midway through. Would have enjoyed watching it again. *stares meaningfully at On Demand*

* That's it for me at the moment. What are you up to?

I Have News!

It's official - my new book has both a title, and a release date!

Take A Chance on Me, a contemporary romance from Samhain, will be released on February 22, 2011.

I'm really excited for this book to be released. It's one of the first manuscripts I ever wrote, though its gone through many incarnations since then. Take one jaded ex-cop, add an idealistic new teacher, and watch the sparks fly!

Keep an eye out for more details as the date gets closer!
