Signed books and other cool stuff
I've signed and personalized your books, and they are on their way to you! ; ) For those of you who were in the first wave of orders for signed & personalized copies of Magic Lost, Troble Found and/or Armed & Magical, I went to the Barnes & Noble at The Streets at Southpoint in Durham, NC, signed all of your orders, and had a ton of fun doing it. : )
For those of you who are new to my blog, the B&N mentioned above is offering FREE SHIPPING in the U.S. to anyone who wants signed copies of my books. All of the details are in my Thursday, May 1 blog (just scroll down), or there's also a shortcut button on my homepage that'll take you straight there. You order 'em and I'll sign 'em! And UPS will deliver them to you for free if you're in the U.S. (For anyone outside the U.S., email me and I can get shipping rates for you.)
It's a great deal, and something I've been wanting to offer to all of you since I'm not a big name author (yet *grin*) and don't get sent on book tours. This lets me sign books for you and all you pay is the cost of the book, plus tax -- it's just like you walked into your own local B&N and bought them; you can even use your B&N Member Card to get your discount. So if you want me to sign some books for you, get your orders in soon -- I'll be making another trip to B&N to sign books next week.
Last night, I made some great progress on the last chapter of The Trouble With Demons. Yea! After I finish it, and before I start Bewitched & Betrayed (Raine's 4th adventure), I'll write and post a short synopsis of The Trouble With Demons to give you all an idea of what I've been working on all these months. ; )
Cool upcoming stuff: And as I'm gearing up to begin writing the next book, I'll be doing a series of posts on how I lay the groundwork for starting a new novel. I'm not one of those writers who can just dive right in there. So that will be coming up, and after I have a final approved manuscript for TTWD, I'll be occasionally posting short snippets for you to enjoy. And I think I'm going to have an entire chapter that didn't make my final cut, so I'll be posting that for you to read. I altered that particular subplot, so the chapter no longer applied -- but it's good. ; ) And coming up on the Saturday Fun Pics, I'll have photos of my day-job office.
Have a good one!

Oooh, be careful not to give too much away with your synopsis. A nice teasing blurb would be great.
I have over 30,000 words that didn't make it into my novel. Including a great scene where Abriel got lost in the aqueducts under a hostile city. I hated having to cut it! But it really served no purpose in the plot--it was just a cool scene.
Not to worry -- it'll read like back jacket copy.
I've got a chapter in TTWD that might be like that (cool, but isn't integral to the story). I've decided that I'll let Anne make that call when she reads it. I'm probably too close to the book at this point to make a good judgement call.
