Monday morning updates

For those of you who didn't visit my site this weekend, the first two chapters of Armed & Magical are up. Read and enjoy! I've also updated the rest of my site, consolidating all of the interviews (both for me and the questions you've asked Raine, Tam and Mychael) on the new INTERVIEWS page. There's also the wonderful article that Diana Pharaoh Francis let me reprint from her site: "How to help your favorite authors." If you haven't read it, please do.

For those of you who have read the A&M sample chapters, rest assured there will be plenty of Tam in this book. In fact, Tam fans will be ecstatic. ; ) There's also a lot of Mychael, Phaelan and Piaras -- in short, there's something for everyone. And you'll find out more about Tam's past.

Tia over on the Fantasy Debut blog (see link to the right) mentioned the A&M sample chapters on her blog, as did Laurie over on The Toasted Scimitar (link to the right). Thank you ladies for helping to spread the word! Tia mentioned something else in her blog concerning the title for the fourth book. I've started putting it in my email signature, and I don't see any reason why I can't list it here, especially since it's just a working title. I like it, but by the time the book is on the shelves it could have a different title. So here goes:

As you all know the working title for Raine Benares adventure #3 is The Trouble With Demons. By the way, I finished Chapter 2 last week, and am a third of the way through Chapter 3. The working title for Book #4 is Bewitched & Betrayed. And believe me, Book 4 will have plenty of both.

I won't get any writing tonight because I'll be doing a book signing/reading at the new Barnes & Noble in Burlington, NC, at 7 p.m. with James Maxey, author of Bitterwood (see James's link to the right). If you're in the area and can drop by, I'd love to meet you. The B&N address is on the new EVENTS page.

More Tam?!?!?! Yayyy! He's the best. Muahaha. Very good chapters btw. I read them over a very late breakfast since I had to skip class today because 1. I was up all night 2. I'm sick sick sick and don't want to spread it and 3. It's pouring and freezing outside and my Doctor would kill me if I added pneumonia to the list. lol But thanks for the tea suggestion on FOJG-it really helps.

Can't wait for the rest!

Hi Caera,

I'm so glad you enjoyed the sample chapters -- and that you decided to skip classes today. You need to stay inside and take care of yourself.

Tea and honey helps danged near everything. ; )

Wow, I slave away at my workbench and look what I have when I get back. Mmmmmm. Love the Q&A sessions, the cut scenes, and especially love the two chapters posted for A&M.
And did you say more backstory on Tam? Whoot! He is such a fascinating goblin.
If I have one complaint, it's that the two chapters leave me wanting a third, and a forth, and... Oh hell, I want the whole thing. *bats eyes* Would you consider sending an ARC to our store? *bats eyes again* Please?
Speaking of freebie reads, while I was at DragonCon they were handing out a sampler book with MLTF in it. Any idea if that helped boost sales?

Hi Lassar! Glad you like all the new stuff. My editor sent me a couple copies of the sampler book with the first chapter of MLTF. That was just too cool. As to how if it's boosting sales, I certainly hope so. ; )

Be sure to read the "Mychael answers your questions" on the Interviews page. Nice Tam backstory on how Tam and Mychael met.

Hi Tia,
You're most welcome! It was a lot of fun -- and it was also my very first interview. ; )
