Monday Mishmash 3/4/13

Happy Monday! Here's my mishmash of thoughts:
  1. Birthday Party  Yesterday was my daughter's birthday party. Lots of fun.
  2. Sweets Blogfest  The Sweets Blogfest is Wednesday, March 6. I'm looking forward to it. Be sure to stop back for a chance to win some sweet books.
  3. YALitChat Debut Author Chat  I'm a guest on Wednesday's YALitChat Twitter chat at 9pm (EST). I hope you'll stop by to chat.
  4. Stalked by Death  The release date for Stalked by Death was pushed back a few weeks to August 13, 2013, but you can now pre-order it on Amazon and B&N.
  5. Into the Fire is on Goodreads! My YA paranormal, Into the Fire, releasing spring 2014 through Month9Books is now up on Goodreads. Woo hoo! You can add it to your TBR list here. And here's the description for you:




Sixteen-year-old Cara Tillman, a descendant from the mythical phoenix bird, is nearing her rebirth where she will forget everything, including the love of her life, Logan, and attempts to embrace her last days with him even if it means drawing deadly phoenix hunters to her doorstep. 








*My free monthly newsletter comes out at 5pm (EST) today. If you aren't signed up but would like to receive on, you can sign up here.

That's it for me. What's on your mind today?

    I love this description! Finally finished Love All. Now I have to figure out how to do reviews on Amazon. I have never done it yet.

    Yeah for birthday parties. I can't wait for the debut chat. This week is all about client work for me. I've got another project brewing, but it's in the plotting and planning stage so I'm not doing much writing until I have it worked out.

      I'm excited for it, too. I'm editing for a client right now. I needed a quick break, so here I am. :) Good luck working out your new idea.

    Love the idea of a paranormal creature who is NOT a vampire or a werewolf. (Not that there's anything wrong with those!) But a phoenix is truly unusual.

    Working on a new short story and embracing a busy week at the day job with as much grace as I can muster.

      I'm sure your agent will love it, Carol! If it makes you feel better, my agents reading my latest YA contemporary romance, so I'm right there with you.

      Thanks, Julia! That's actually the PM announcement. I didn't even write that, but I'm proud to say that this idea sold based on my pitch before I even wrote it. That was very surreal and awesome to me. :)
