April has sprung in Texas! I know that a bunch of you are still weighed down with snow, ice and other icky winter stuff, but I swear---spring is nearly here!

And with spring, comes the beginning of convention season! I was unfortunately unable to attend the east Texas book fair, but will be at the RT Booklovers Convention in Las Vegas next week! There are single day passes available, and if you're in the area, it's definitely worth a trip. There will be more than SIX HUNDRED authors attending the Saturday book signing, in all genres (not just romance!) Join us, and bring a duffel bag!

For those who are attending, here's my schedule:

Wednesday, 4/13 -
*FF&P Chapter party. 4pm-6pm - If you're in FF&P, check the group loop for more info!

Thursday, 4/14 -
*Rebooting a Series panel, 11:15

Friday, 4/15 -
*Tor Spotlight, 1:30
*Intergalactic Bar & Grille party, 2:45 (You must attend this to get the FREE print anthology with original stories by me, Linnea Sinclair, Pj Schnyder, Janet Miller, Sabine Priestley, Isabo Kelly, Donna Frelick, and many others! (We had a BUNCH of hosts this year!)
*Awards Banquet, 7:00

Saturday, 4/16 -
*Big Book Fair, 10:00-2:00
*FAN-Tastic Day host - 6:20 pm

I'll also be hanging around Club RT chatting with friends and will be attending panels too. Come find me!

In addition to the great SF romance story I wrote for this special anthology, and DENIED, the third book of the Sazi trilogy, I've been working on a new proposal for Tor. It's urban fantasy and very dark and scary. It'll be multi-point of view and featuring lesser known mythology from around the world. The first is based in Inuit mythology! I'm very excited about this new concept and am digging into all sorts of fun research. I hope you like it as much as I am! More about it soon.

Don't forget to pre-order ILLICIT. The release month was moved to November, if you recall, but it still needs love. :D And if you haven't picked up FORBIDDEN yet, why not? Go . . . order and read and fall in love!
Of course, if there's a newsletter, there's a contest! Congrats to last month's winner of the "Spring Forward" contest-- Kimberley from right here in Texas! Watch your email for a message from me!

April 1st is known for fool's tricks. But instead, you'll be getting favors! Send me an email to: cathyclampfans@gmail.com with the subject line of "April Favors" and you'll be entered for a special favor! I'll be giving away one of the RT convention bags, stuffed full of books (signed where I can!), swag and other treats!

Have a great April and more again next month!
