Dear Readers: 

Beltane was May 1st and is one of our holidays, and it was also my 21st anniversary. The day was lovely. Warm for a change and pretty and we had a nice dinner and ritual outside in the back yard. We spent a weekend up in Port Townsend a week ago, and had quite the experience. It was both personal and business trip-I did a lot of research because...well, you'll see in one of my books. OH! And I saw a ghost! . ~grins~ But here's my write up of it, and some more pictures.

So, let's see...what do I have to tell you this month?


FIRST, DIABETES AUCTION TIME!


Yes, it's that time again. Time for the diabetes research charity auction. And for the tenth year in a row, I am participating. I participate because my husband is a Type 1 diabetic and I know firsthand what sort of hell diabetes can wreak on the body. I participate because I, and some of my friends, are Type 2, and while I can control mine (and have pushed it into full remission) via diet, someone with Type 1, can't-and so far, we have no cure. I participate because diabetes is an epidemic and people need to be aware of what's going on. I participate because I fully believe we can find a cure for Type 1.

This year, I'm donating two items: one, a huge audiobook basket worth $600 that includes, among many other things, a copy of all fifteen Otherworld books in audioformat! There are so many other goodies in there-I hope to see this really bring in a great amount for the diabetes auction.
 

Second: for all aspiring writers, I'm offering a full critique of the first 15 pages of your manuscript! I'll point out whatever I see that will help your manuscript AND what I think works. :)  

 

The auction runs through May 31st, so please, if you can't afford to participate (or see nothing there you like), please spread the word to help us. 

PREORDER TIME!
You can preorder the next three releases: NIGHT'S END, the last Indigo Court Book. You can also preorder FLIGHT FROM HELL, the crossover e-novella (from Menolly's point of view) that will introduce you to the Fly By Night Series! And lastly, you can preorder PRIESTESS DREAMING-book sixteen of the Otherworld Series. The book video for it!
EVENTS!
I will be at the Romantic Times convention in New Orleans May 13-18, leading several panels, on several others, and at the giant book fair! Here's my agenda. I will also be at the Giant Book Fair, and at the Fantastic Day Party. If you are there and see me in the halls-and I'm not rushing to a panel-feel free to stop me and say hello. Feel free to ask me to sign your books there. That's why I'm there.

END OF THE NIGHT PARTY: On July 1st, I'll be holding an online release party for NIGHT'S END at Coffee Time Romance chatroom with prizes and fun chatter. Please join us. 6:00 PM PDT, 9 PM EDT. So preorder that copy of your book and join me for the end of the long winter night.

July 5th, I'll be holding a public signing at the Seattle Mystery Bookshop at 12:00 noon to sign NIGHT'S END. If you can't make it in person you can preorder a signed copy from them and I will sign it while I am there and they'll mail it out. And yes, they mail internationally. So come on out if you are able-I'd love to chat with my readers there.
 

We have updated the website and made some changes to my blog, and I finally discovered how to put a subscribe to the blog button! So now you can subscribe to my posts and get all the Yasmine, all the time! Well, maybe not, but you get the picture. Update letters are sent out once a day on the RSS feed, and it will give you the basics of what I've posted that day (if anything). Every Friday is my Brain Candy Friday question with a little giveaway for blog subscribers. Our April online puzzle is up, also. 

ONLINE INTERACTION:
Well, Facebook in its infinite wisdom has once again decreased organic reach so we're using my facebook page as an announcements page and not doing much interaction there. However, I'm definitely still on Twitter, and you can now find a lot of the posts that were on Facebook on my blog, first and foremost. You can also interact with me and other readers in my forums. And ALWAYS...the best way to get information is to visit my website, or read this newsletter.

On to other things, I am currently working on PANTHER PROWLING, book 17 of the Otherworld series and having a blast with it.
