Last Post Before My Xmas-Hanukkah Month Starts

I have to take Em to the Chiropractor this morning and then I have to get my new car stereo fixed (go figure). So now that I find myself not under pressure because I finished Sons of Evenmore: The Crimson Grimoire... and I made my required word count for NaNoWriMo - I came in at 56,100 on two different projects. I know soon I will have the edits on my Aussie Day: Bush Bashin' coming up but that's okay... I am also finally pulling out The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows and dusting it off = my Beta Readers Sue & Yoda will just about cark it when they start receiving parts of the manuscript. Hopefully I will have it finished and subbed early next year for you all... I didn't get as many authors as I would have liked for my Xmas-Hanukkah month so I am going to fill out the vacant spots with Xmas scenes from my WIPS so you can get a feel other characters I am working with. Just so I hope you know - I hope you all fall in love with Ray Connelly from Windblown Kisses: My Knight in Tarnished Armour, or even future characters in that story such as Jamie and Bear (Teddy) who are only children in this first book, as much as I love Them.

PS: At some stage in the next month I am going to give my Blog and overhaul and de clutter most of it so people like me stop getting distracted.

It's Done!

My Warrior Vamps - Sons of Evenmore: The Crimson Grimoire is finished... I have just submitted it to Kimberly at MLRso I need you all to keep your crossables crossed for it to get accepted... That's it I am exhausted but happy with the end result. I just have to send Kimberly the Synopsis and blurbs which I will do as soon as I get back from the post office.

UPDATE: I got through the galley proof on Chritmastime at Papa Lee's and sent it back to the wonderful Kris Jacen.

Damn It!

I am finally on the tail end of my story for Kimberly, Sons of Evenmore: The Crimson Grimoire... and now we have a freaking thunder storm rolling in with the possibility of our power going out - I am at 30 K and I still have one chapter to write... What a pain in the arse time to get a storm. I wrote 5 K on the story yesterday and 5 K today. Almost there I can see the light (well not so much if the power goes out... Computer is flickering so I better shut down. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to tell you I wrote those final words THE END

Okay So This Is What I've Done

I know that I am doing Xmas/ Hanukkah stories and posts on my blog for the whole month of December. I and I still plan on doing that. I have also signed up for a Christmas Blog Hop. I am not sure whether I am one of the successful applicants  as I think Drea is capping off the blogger list at 150 entrants this time. Which I can understand. If I am successful then the blog runs from 14th -17th and I figure I can still blog and pimps peoples Xmas/ Hanukkah works.

Just A Quickie

Okay just so I don't end up a slacker like some people - **coughs into hand** (yes I do mean you Embry). I thought I would let you know what is happening in my life... Even though we loved being at GRL this year  in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Emily and I will have to miss the gang when they hit Atlanta in 2013... but we will be there for the next one for sure.

After I finish this project I am working on for my wonderful MLR editor Kimberly Brandt... I am going to be concentrating on the following projects:

The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows
(Follows Rules are Meant to be Broken)
Toowoomba Boys: Dancing with Demons
(Follows Hunting for Clay)
Lancaster's way: A Different Way of Seeing
(Follows When Souls Collide)
Mixed Tape: I Should Have Known Better
(one off)

If there is anything I should be working on that you can remember and I have forgotten feel free to let me know and I will make sure it is added to the list.

Here are a couple of places to see some more reviews for One Last Kiss Goodbye... some are good and some are so-so, but I will leave it up to you guys to see whether you like the story or not - because I may be a tad bias in my opinion.

December Promo Scavenger Hunt With Free Holiday Story Book Give Away and Sitewide Discount Code Scramble


Happy holidays! Silver Publishing wants to give our fans more than 60 chances to win either a free Holiday Story from our 25 Days of Christmas Releases or for a lucky random five 20% off codes! And if you are really dedicated there is a Word Scramble included that will provide a discount for titles purchased during the last week of December!

To make it even more exciting, the authors participating may offer new and interesting content or contests of their own to help distract from the frantic pace of the holidays.

So, how does it work?

In a nutshell: Find all the snowflakes every day, email us at promotions@spsilverpublishing.com with the author name/date for each snowflake you find, check our blog daily to see if you won and then use the pertinent snowflakes to spell out an additional discount code to use at the end of the month.

Not in a nutshell: Participants go to the following blogs every day in December and find the hidden snowflakes. There will be at least two, sometimes three snowflakes to be found among the list of facebook/blogs/websites below for our authors. The snowflake will look like a variation of this:



Find them all for the maximum amount of chances to win.

Once you find the snowflake, note the letter, number or character as well as the numerical indicator (if present) on the snowflake for the scramble. The numbered snowflakes will line up to spell out your discount code.

Email us at promotions@silverpublishing.com with the name of the blog/website where the snowflakes were hidden on that date.

Important email format: Please put only the name of one author and the date in your subject line - for maximum chances to win, each snowflake/author found should be its own email for an increased daily chance to win.

If your email subject line includes the correct answer you will be entered into a random drawing to win the Christmas Release for the day you found the snowflake. There will be at least 2 winners per day; five days there will be 3 winners.

Winners will be notified in our new BLOG here: http://bit.ly/Wi7uyq = (bookmark this link so that you can check back each day.) If you are the winner for that day, email us with your email address and format desired to promotions@silverpublishing.com so that we can get your prize to you quickly.

Helpful hints: Some authors will have more than one snowflake during the event. But authors will only post one snowflake per day so search them all every day. Don’t leave any out for maximum chances to win.

Once you have found all the snowflakes, line up the letters, characters and numbers based on the numerical indicator (when present) to spell out our Holiday message and receive a discount code that will be active from Dec 25 – 31st.

Not every participating author has a Holiday release but you’ll want to collect the snowflake on their site for another chance to win the story being released that day. And…they might have one of the five valuable discount snowflakes we’ve hidden with your chance to win that day.

If the authors are running additional contests, take advantage for additional ways to win throughout the month.
