October 2008



New US Contracts
This one took a little longer because there was interest from various publishers.  I'm now thrilled to announce that I have a contact for the next 3 books (11-13).  I'm returning to my old publisher, Penguin (who has Bitten & Stolen). I'll be under the Dutton imprint in hardcover and Plume again in paperback.



Personal Demon Paperback
It's out!  It came out Sept 30, so you should be able to find this one now.  Yes, that's quick, but they like to bring the paperback out one month before the next hardcover, so you get this one earlier than usual!  It's a one-off, though, unfortunately.  The paperback for Living with the Dead is scheduled for next October, the usual year from the hardcover.
 

Living with the Dead Hardcover
It's...almost out!  It comes out later this month (Oct 21, I think) 



Frostbitten
Book 8 is out in paperback.  Book 9 is almost out in hardcover.  Book 10 is written...so it's time to release the details.  This one is called Frostbitten and it's an Elena book.  For a brief synopsis, see the brand-new page for it.  Click here to see that.



Halloween Events
As you can tell by my schedule below, it's a busy month!  Two events I'd like to call attention to are "Haunted McMaster" Oct 10 in Hamilton, ON, where I'm one of ten authors attending and "Ghoul's Night Out" Oct 30 in St. Thomas, ON, where I'm reading, chatting and signing with fellow authors Eve Silver/Kenin and Michelle Rowen/Maddox.  Both will be great events, and great opportunities to come out and chat.  At McMaster I'll be sitting around all night looking for someone to talk to, and in St. Thomas it's a small and relaxed venue.  Plus, I still have a handful of those SpectraPulse magazines with a new Elena story to give away at events.  You'll find details on all my events below.


Bookclub Update
For October our pick is A Rush of Wings by Adrian Phoenix, hosted by Donna.  November's book will be Patricia Briggs's Cry Wolf, hosted by blue moon.

Contest Update
This month we have an enter-to-win and a trivia contest.  The prize?  A signed copy of any of my books. At the end of the month, I'll draw one winner for each contest.
