Really really close

Only 3 days until release day! It’s the 4th here, so two days for me technically but it will be late on my 6th before it’s officially THE DAY.

I’ve been posting some glimpses into the book over on the blog…snippets from my soundtrack and collages.  A couple of people in the US have sighted Shadow Kin in the wild at Barnes and Noble, so everything is happening! Don’t forget there’s still also three days to enter the giveaway happening over on the blog.  And checkout the appearances page with both book launch details and where I’ll be popping up on the internet over the next few weeks to celebrate Shadow Kin’s release.

Don’t forget Shadow Kin is available for pre-order (and in a few days immediate order!) from many places. Buy links available on my books page. More to be added as I find ‘em. If you stick around here you can learn a little about me and my books, and check out some of my favorite writers and writing links. For even more about me check out the FAQs.

This site is currently updated once a month or so (more often as exciting news hits). For more frequent updates visit my blog where I’ll be talking about what happens between getting the call and the book hitting the shelves, writing and whatever else catches my attention. You can get in touch with me here. If you want my irregular updates and book release announcements, you can join my mailing list using the form in the sidebar. Happy reading!

Getting closer

August brings the last month of winter (yay!) and the last month before Shadow Kin hits the shelves (double yay!).

Later this month I’ll be doing some more giveaways to celebrate Shadow Kin’s release, so keep checking back at the blog.  In other news, amidst all the craziness of getting ready for a book to come out, I get to do fun things like organise a book launch! If you’re in Melbourne or near Melbourne, check out the blog for initial launch details.  I’ll be adding the info to my appearances page here once I have all the right RSVP details etc.

Don’t forget Shadow Kin is now available for pre-order from Amazon.com/uk/ca (including Kindle), The Book Depository, Powell’s and Barnes and Noble. Buy links available on my books page.

Still July….

I am back from lovely warm New York and trying to adjust to the chill of Melbourne winter….bring on the blankets and hibernation, I say.

Shadow Kin is out in less than two months now.  To celebrate, I’m giving away a signed ARC over on my blog. So head over there if you want to be in the running.

Roc is also doing a Goodreads giveaway for US readers.  (There will be a book giveaway for international readers coming on the blog too).

In other news, the full Chapter One is now available on the excerpts page.

July

It’s July.  And I’m currently in New York where it’s nice and warm and not looking forward to returning home to cold, wet Melbourne.

July also means Shadow Kin is out in two months.  If you want to get your hands on it before then, my lovely publisher is doing a Goodreads giveaway for US readers.  When I get back from the states, I’ll do an ARC giveaway and later, when I have some copies, a book giveaway too for the international folks.

In the meantime, until I do get home, myJune mystery contest is still running over on my blog (I have the book but you don’t get to find out what it is until I return).

June adventures

It’s well and truly winter here in Oz, we just had the coldest May in forty years in Melbourne, which also makes it the coldest May in my lifetime. As I don’t particularly like freezing, I’m looking forward to escaping to New York for a few weeks later in the month. Otherwise, I’m still writing away on Book Three and trying not to give into my annual knit-everything-in-site urge. Oh, and the first Shadow Kin excerpt is now available to read or download.

My June mystery contest is up and running over on the blog, so check it out.

Don’t forget Shadow Kin is now available for pre-order from Amazon.com/uk/ca (including Kindle), The Book Depository, Powell’s and Barnes and Noble. Buy links available on my books page.

Welcome to my new site

I think my new home is gorgeous and have to give huge rounds of applause and showers of chocolate to my fabulous webdesigner, Sharon, from Little Bytes Design who has gone over and above the call of duty to translate my vague ideas into reality!

Take a look around though, be warned, I am still settling in, so things may still change a little. (And if you do hit a problem or find an error, please let me know!)

Hard to believe it’s the end of May already and in a few more weeks I’ll be jetting off to New York for the RWA National conference and various other adventures. And with the advent of June, comes the realisation that there’s only a little over three months until Shadow Kin is released! Woot!

Last chance for my May contest. This month, we’re going futuristic and I’m giving away Naked In Death by J.D. Robb.
