…just because her friends did.

The other two Mavericks have been doing video blogs and I decided to try my hand at it too. Next time I’ll make sure I’m not sick, there’s less negative space above my head, and the lighting and acoustics are better. For now, here you go, my first attempt. I talk (a little) about RT and pimp two of my new releases.

Contests! I have one going on here at my blog, just scroll down for details. The Good, the Bad and the Unread is also running a contest for an autographed copy and they have excerpts up of The Deal (my story) and Stripped, by Lauren Dane.

What Happens in Vegas is now shipping from both Amazon and Barnes & Noble online. I don’t think it will likely start showing up on the shelves until May 1st, but if you’re itching for your copy you can get one now.

Yay!

I’m so excited about this anthology. Be warned, it’s very, very hot!!!

Peeking my head from Deadline Hell to say Happy Bunny Day! if you celebrate it.

I got TEN MILLION copies of What Happens in Vegas… (May, 2008, Harlequin Spice) yesterday. Okay, not ten million, but a whole bunch! I’ll be doing some giveaways soon, so be sure to keep checking back. If you’re not familiar with Vegas, it’s a waaaaaay hot anthology including novellas from me, Lauren Dane, Jodi Lynn Copeland and Kit Tunstall. It’s Harlequin Spice’s first ever anthology.

If you have an established book or review blog that tends to get a good amount of traffic and would like a copy of What Happens in Vegas… please email me via the contact form on this site and send me your URL and contact info. Depending on how many requests I get, I may have to do a lottery or use some other selection process. I only have a limited number of books I can give away. The only requirement to get a free book is that you blog about the book during the week of its release (first week of May). Your opinion is your own, of course, good or bad.

In other news, for the second week of Witch Blood’s release it placed 22# on Borders bestseller list and 18# on Barnes & Noble’s list! It actually climbed up on the B&N list. Last week it was 24#. It’s also still placing high on Bookscan. This makes me pretty darn happy, I have to say!

Okay, you all, I have to go!! Deadlines are calling. Eeek!

Here is the book trailer I did for What Happens in Vegas, anthology out from Harlequin Spice in May, 2008.  I’ll be back in a few with an actual bloggy update.
