The Book Fort – Rite of Passage

In this one group of writers that I belong to, I have cheered at the photos of book forts whenever someone in the group had a new release. These book forts represent the reality of a dream come true. They are a rite of passage for an author and something we proudly show off.

Here are pics of my book fort. With and without dog. And yes, I did notice that mine resembles a stage. So maybe it’s the theatre inside the book fort. 🙂 I also included Chloe as she snuck off to see what mom had been doing the last few years.

Cover Reveal – Relics

It’s here! I get to reveal my own cover for Relics today, gorgeous art by Ida Jansson! Relics will be published May 1, 2013 by Crescent Moon Press. A little over two weeks away! I’m so excited! You can add my book to your To Be Read list over on Goodreads, too!

About Relics

Most of Thulu and La Fi’s clients are dead. Which is perfect since their detective agency caters to the supernatural. So, a job finding relics for an ancient daemon should be simple.

The daemon needs the relics to keep a dangerous portal closed. His enemy, Gabriel, wants the relics to open the portal and give his people access to a new feeding ground – Earth.

Stunning humanity with their existence, portals to other worlds begin to open and the creatures of magic return to Earth.

When Gabriel threatens their family, Thulu and La Fi’s search becomes personal. The couple will need powerful allies in the race to find the relics before Gabriel does. But maybe that’s what grateful dead, magical allies and daemonic clients are for.

When the creatures of myth and magic return to Earth, they’re nothing like your mother’s fairy tales.

Relics – Update

I’m less than four weeks out from the release of my first book, the Urban Fantasy, Relics. I’m having a blast, getting blog tours and signing events set up. I’m enjoying every step of this magical process! I saw my cover art the other day and I’m over the moon because it’s so gorgeous! Not that I’m biased or anything.

I have live events scheduled as follows:

May 9 – Great Basin College, Pahrump, NV – 6 PM – Reading and Book Signing

May 11 – Book Boutique, Henderson, NV – Noon – 2 PM – Book Signing

May 18 – Barnes & Noble – 1 PM – 4 PM – Book Signing

May 25 – Pahrump Community Library – 11 AM – 1 PM – Book Signing

 

I’ll also be posting my online blog stops when I get them. I’ve booked Bewitching Book Tours and I’ll be making a lot of stops on the tour. I’ll be having an online event with four of the fabulous writers from my publishing house, Crescent Moon Press. I’ll be doing the podcast, MythBehaving, with host Carla Clifton and special guest host, LynDee Walker the first week in May. Yes, that’s the show I usually co-host, but that day they will turn the tables and I will be in the hot seat. I’ll have an actual schedule up in the near future, so be sure to check back! Thanks to everyone who has supported me and helped me make my dream a reality!

The Thulukan Agency

thulu-lafie

On Facebook, I started a page for the series, “The Thulukan Chronicles”. It was suggested by my good friend and beta reader, Jennifer, to use a format where the characters speak and allow folks to ask questions of the characters. Intriguing idea, I thought, so now the page is called “The Thulukan Agency”. This page will allow readers of the book, Relics, to engage “directly” with La Fi, Thulu, Reo and the other characters in my book.

Feel free to stop by and ask questions. La Fi was entirely too anxious to get control of that page, if you ask me. She has already posted the advertisement she and Thulu used to contact the Supernatural. She also has a rather cryptic and foreboding poster regarding being Thulukanized and joining Team Thulukan. For the rest of us the poster represents a street team, so feel free to join that as well. I doubt that’s what La Fi had in mind, though.

Relics, Book 1 of The Thulukan Chronicles

Soon, oh so soon, my friends, my first book will be released. I’ve been busily doing all sorts of writerly duties getting ready for the release. Things like arrangling book launch parties and blog tours and working on the book trailer and street team. So much to do and it’s all so terribly exciting!

It’s been pointed out to me several times, but I’m not likely to forget it anyway. “You only have your first book release once.”  As I’ve said before, I’m going to enjoy every little moment of it, too!

Oh sure, sometimes the process is scary or glitchy or worrisome. But all I have to do is remind myself that in only weeks, my book will be out there. I’m actually going to be published!

And by that awesome publisher, Crescent Moon Press. It’s sheer joy to be with CMP. The support from my fellow authors is incredible and the feeling of family runs strong there. The staff is beyond understanding, supportive and caring.  I’m  very lucky and I know it!

So I’m hanging on for a wild ride. The train has left the station and is picking up speed. My book is becoming even more real every day. Soon, oh so soon, my friends!
