Book Promotion, A Poll

Mindy Klasky, a fellow SF/F/Romance writer, is running a poll on her LiveJournal about book promotion as part of an on-going discussion a number of SF/F authors are having about what makes people pick up a book. If you have an LJ account, please consider filling out her poll. The more people answer, a better sense we'll have of "the truth."

New Proposals in the Works

I just thought I'd share... I'm currently working on two new book proposals for my editor at Berkley. They would be Garnet Lacey Book #4 (currently titled: DEAD IF I DO) and #5 (currently titled: HONEYMOON OF THE DEAD). Can you guess what might be happening in those books???

In other news, it's hot here. I know, I know, not hot like Texas or Egypt or Peru, but it's hot for Minnesota. I like days that don't exceed 75 F, what can I say? Mason and I had to go to Minnehaha Creek to splash around and cool down today.

Hope the rest of you are doing well and staying cool.

New Review of Dead Sexy

I came back from Indiana to a nice e-mail informing me of a new review of Dead Sexy at Kwips and Kritiques by Joyce. Here's a excerpt of some of the nicest bits:

What I love about Garnet is her perseverance and her unpredictable nature. She usually gives everything a try even if she knows it could backfire. If it wasn’t for her misfortune at times these novels wouldn’t be as addicting as they are. Garnets life is spiced up through her involvement with two utterly delectable vampire beaus, and her indecisive nature on which is the best fit is for her life. She isn’t the only person that would have to live with her choice, and the Goddess within will not let her forget it.
