HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

 

or, as I refer to it

 

HAPPY SURVIVAL DAY!


Woot!

 

29 years ago today I had to have my kidney removed.  I survived.  I hadn't been at all sure I would.  So each year I celebrate my survival, whether or not there is a significant other in my life at the moment.  And I remind myself to be happy, live in the now, and try not to let all the stupid crap that life throws at me "stick."  


Let's see - on the news front:



FIRST,  "PATIENCE MY ASS" is being delayed.  I have to ask you to be, well, ahem, patient?  Seriously, I got a bad case of bronchitis and wound up flat on my back, which put me behind on everything, particularly the short story collection.  But it WILL come out.  Sometime this year even.  I will keep you advised.

SECOND, prizes in GIMME GIMME GIMME have been mailed out today.  Winners should get their ARCs well ahead of publication in March barring disaster.  Congrats!  

 

 Hope you like it.
 


THIRD, "THE EXILE" comes out March 10, 2015.  Blog tour will ensue to support it, along with interviews, AND, if I can figure out how to do the videos and post them to YouTube, readings from Chapters 1, 2, and 3, one each week for the next three weeks which can also be accessed through my blog and hopefully (assuming I can get there and get it working) my website.  

Blog tour dates are as follows:

3/10/15  The Vampire Book Club
3/11/15  Layers of Thought
3/12/15  Paranormal and Romantic Suspense Reviews
3/13/15  My Bookish Ways     
3/14/15  Urban Fantasy Investigation  
3/15/15  SciFi Chick           
3/16/15  From the Shadows

WHEW!  BUSY!  But good.  Very good.

I am about to start cleaning closets and getting rid of author copies of my books is on the boards.  Thus, I've decided to contact the USO and see how to go about donating books to be sent to the troops overseas.  If anybody has any info on this, email me at catadamsfans@gmail.com with I KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW in the re.  Thanks a bunch guys.

And now for the contest of the month - 2 lucky winners will get an autographed cover flat for THE EXILE.  Winners will be selected at random from responses.  REMEMBER GUYS, YOU'VE GOT TO PUT YOUR SNAIL MAIL INFO IN THE EMAIL OR I CAN'T MAIL THE PRIZE TO YOU.  Winner will be drawn on or about March 1, 2015.  Send your entry to: catadamsfans@gmail.com with FLATTEN ME in the RE and your snail mail info in the body of the email. 

Good luck!

Next month - there will be a word find puzzle with names of characters from THE EXILE.
