Partaaay! (my style)

So, yeah, I'm 44 and still have a kid at home. Which means when I celebrate the July 1 mass market release of my first book (Once Bitten, Twice Shy) I reach for . . . my laptop. I know. Sew lame! Well, even if you can't take the geek outta the girl, you can squeeze a mini-mission from her. Which is what I'm gonna be posting to my website for the next few.

Yup. That's what I said.

Free Jaz Parks fer all, starting today! Consider this a yellow flyer with big black lettering that you don't even have to toss into the nearest trash can. YOU ARE INVITED . . . . http://www.jenniferrardin.com

Hey, I started with the trade paperbacks and I'm sticking with them. Because I really hate mismatched sets of books. (Besides, authors make more $ off tpb's.)

Congrats on moving to mass market, though. That'll get your work to a wider audience!

Well there you go. Here in Oz I've bought most of your books in mass market editions (save for the last one - I couldn't wait for the MM to be released). Wonder why that is...

Congratulations anyway and I'm off to your website for some more Jaz!

Thanks, Carolyn!

Woohoo! Guess I'll be seeing you Thursday as well, Hagelrat?

What a great idea, tom_gallier! And then I'll leave them with--

Thanks, Nicole! Jen Flax sez I'm getting the final edits tomorrow.

If you ever feel the need to be adopted, writtenwyrdd, just lemme know. I'm certainly feeling deep affection for my trade paperback buyer right now!!!

Thanks, JD! Hopefully you won't have to wait forever for Bite Marks. But, then, I do sense that Oz is hovering somewhere near a rip in time/space so you never know.

THE WRITE PRETENDAS

By -

WE at the League of Reluctant Adults are pissed. Miffed. Put out. Thoroughly riled. We don't often get political, nor do we often get angry. But an angry Leaguer is an UGLY thing. Just look at Mark over there, all snarly with rage. Why are we angry, you ask? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET BOYCOTTED. There's this group calling itself "The Write Agenda," who claims to be a bunch of authors looking out for other authors. In reality, we're pretty sure they're a bunch of con artists who got mad at people calling them con artists. Why? Because they attack two of the best friends an author or an aspiring author can ever have: Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler . Here's John Scalzi's breakdown of what this Write Agenda is, and why they're doing what they're doing. For those not in the know, Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler are free services that collect information on agents, editors, and publishers. They report on thin...

Excerpt time!

Since I missed my regular posting day--argh!--I'm popping in to steal Kari's day. Well, okay, Kari has a power outage so I'm taking her day, but believe me, I would totally steal it otherwise. And, because I'm just in that kind of mood, I'm going to post an excerpt from the fourth Downside book, SACRIFICIAL MAGIC, which will be released on March 27, 2012. (And wait till you guys see the cover!) The blurb: READING, WRITING, AND RAISING THE DEAD When Chess Putnam is ordered by an infamous crime boss—who also happens to be her drug dealer—to use her powers as a witch to solve a grisly murder involving dark magic, she knows she must rise to the challenge. Adding to the intensity: Chess’s boyfriend, Terrible, doesn’t trust her, and Lex, the son of a rival crime lord, is trying to reignite the sparks between him and Chess. Plus there’s the little matter of Chess’s real job as a ghost hunter for the Church of Real Truth, investigating reports of a haunting ...

Carniepunk Giveaway and Tour!

So, I'm sitting in my kitchen working at my laptop, as far as you know, when the doorbell rings. As any normal human being would, assuming there was a solicitor at the door or a sappy-eyed child selling diet-busting candy, I reached for my gun and slipped to the floor to avoid detection. Creeping across the hall, I lifted my head just in time to see the bestest shit-brown truck that ever existed barrel away leaving a puffy beige package on my doorstep, just like an unwanted baby...or THIS... YESSSSSSS!!! Carniepunk ARCs came!!! Now, some of you may know that this literary wonder was the brainchild of my friend and fellow Reluctant Adult, Kevin Hearne, author of such Iron Druidness as HOUNDED and star of a certain Single Ladies Dance Spectacular, featured here (feel free to witness that particular madness as you continue to read toward the inevitable contest): As excited as I am about my story in CARNIEPUNK (July 23rd), THE SWEETER THE JUICE (a post-apocalyptic zombie h...
