Holy cow! October is usually a busy month for me and my family, and this year hasn’t proved the exception. But when I got up this morning and realized that we are in the last week of the month, I freaked!
The Bond That Consumes Us is out on Friday!!!!
This is by far my most requested book, featuring my most requested character, I’ve ever written. I’d never originally intended Taber to be a main character. To be honest, I never intended on this being a series at all. But there was something about his personality that everyone seemed to connect with.
Now I have to confess that I’m nervous for this novel to be released. As a writer, when you have a character that people enjoy, it’s a lot to live up to when their story finally comes up. I hope you will enjoy it when you finally get to read it.
To celebrate the release of The Bond That Consumes Us, I thought I’d run a little contest. Answer the following questions:
1. What was the name of the couple in The Bond That Ties Us?
2. What book do I have coming out January 2009?
3. What’s my favourite colour?
4. What is the name of the series in which The Bond That Consumes Us is a part of?
(hint – all the answers can be found on my website)
Email me the answers at christine @ christinedabo. com by Thursday, October 29th, 5:00 pm EST. I’ll draw a name from the successful entries, and the winner will receive a free copy of The Bond That Consumes Us!
Good luck! 
Well tomorrow morning I fly out to San Francisco! I haven’t been this excited about a trip in a long time.A chance to meet all my friends from online IN PERSON!!
*does a snoopy dance*
For those of you who aren’t going…I’m going to miss you. To fill in the gap, the Six Degrees of Sexy ladies are running a While We are Out contest. Make sure you pop over daily to check everything out. It’s all ready running…what are you waiting for!
/shoo
I’ll be back soon with pictures and stories for you all. Giant HUG!!! coming out to you all.
…and damn if I can’t share the details of it yet! I’m hoping to have everything worked out in the next few weeks (contracts and such), and then I’ll be able to spill it. But for now you’ll have to suffice with a major
SQUEEEEE!!!
Yes, it’s writing related…no I’m not published with NY yet.
In other news, I’ve officially crossed the 60k mark with my urban paranormal. I’m in the home stretch now and I can’t wait to be done. I’m sending off my submission to the Shomi contest this week if I can. If not, for sure on the weekend.
I also received the final line edits this week for The Bond That Heals Us! Oh man, I can’t wait for this one to come out. It’s only one month away…which means I need to get my promo act in gear. Yes, the long awaited book two in the Eternal Bond series is coming! Tell your friends, neighbours, distant relatives!
Christine will love you for it.
This is a fantastic Friday! Why? Because it sees the release of two super fantasic books from two super fantastic EC authors.
Lillian Feisty’s I Love Lacy is out! This is the fourth and final book from our Purple Explosion contest, and I for one can’t wait to get my hands on it. Lillian is an amazing writer, and this sounds awesome!
Today also sees the release of Deep Cover, the very hot and sexy futuristic novel from my Naughty sister Anna J Evans! I’ve been reading excerpts of this book for a while now, and I’m drooling. I’ll be getting them both as soon as I can tonight.
This weekend I plan on working on my books and getting some marketing done. I’ve been on fire this week for word count…though not on my paranormal. Amy and I have been on fire with our story, and I’m going to finish up my chapter and get it back to her tonight. The rest of the weekend I’m devoting to the paranormal, not wanting to lose the momentum that I’ve gained. I might actually finish it in the next month if I can keep this pace up.
Other than that, I don’t really have any other plans. Relax, write, and maybe drink some wine…
What are you up to??
That’s right everyone, this is the final week of our Purple Explosion contest! All four jewels are up, hidden of the websites of myself, Lillian Feisty, Red Garnier, and R.G. Alexander!
And this week is doubly exciting because it sees the release of BOTH Wizard’s Thief (Wednesday) and Lillian’s fantastic book I Love Lacy (Friday)!
And if you haven’t picked up Red’s Amatista or R.G.’s Who Wants To Date A Superhero you are missing out on some hot, sexy reading.
This is a very exciting week for us because it’s my week for the Purple Explosion!! Wizard’s Thief is coming out next Wednesday and I can’t wait. Despite my insane schedule, I have some fantastic friends who are helping me promote my book.
R.G Alexander has written me a beautiful poem, sung to The Music of the Night (which is one of my favourite musical songs!!). Thanks so much RG for the fantastc poem.
Also, now hidden somewhere on my site is my special jewel. You need to find all four (R.G.’s, Red’s, and Lillian’s) to qualify for our special grand prize. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it!
Yes everyone the purple explosion has hit the blog world. This month the are many of us who have an Ellora’s Cave Jewel book releasing. Today sees my good friend Red Garnier’s Amathista released! Now, I’ve had the pleasure of reading this book already and let me tell you, I can’t wait to buy it! It’s a hot futuristic with a hero who will melt your computer screens.
Here’s the blurb:
For years the Fohers have sought the same treasure—Amatista. Only by finding the mystical river of amethysts will Kavi and his people be safe.
But Kavi doesn’t realize his human captive, Liana, with her lush body and eager responses, is more than just a distraction—she is the key to finding the very treasure he seeks.
And don’t forget about our contest!!
I’m feeling silly this morning! I’m very excited because this month sees the release of my next EC book – Wizard’s Thief! This is a hot little number about a thief who tries to steal something from a group of wizards and gets more than she barganed for.
Wizard’s Thief is part of the February Jewel series release from EC and to celebrate a few of us are running one mega contest!!
So watch out for those jewels over the next few weeks! And now this begs the question, what books are you looking forward to this month?
I’m super excited that everyone is going to be joining me for this mid winter boost. I know it’s certainly a motiviation for me to know there will be a bunch of you working hard beside me.
I’m about to sit down now and get my word count done for the day. I’m starting a bit later than normal, but I’m still going to aim for my 1000 words. I just fixed the final line of chapter 4 (it was really bothering me and I couldn’t move on!) and I’m ready to rock on chapter 5.
But before I get going, I need to pimp a good friend of mine who finalled in the Brava contest!! Eve Powers story Unexepectedly Expecting, is a fantastic read (yes, I’ve been lucky enough to read the whole story and I LOVED it!!). She could really use your votes! You can check out all of the Brava finalists here, and you can vote for your favorite here. You simply need to be registered on the boards to vote. Simple!!
