Prism Finalist

I was so pleased to get word today that Immortals: The Redeeming finalled in the Prism contest (paranormal chapter of RWA). Very nice!! I am a double finalist, actually, because Allyson James (one of my other selves) finalled for The Dragon Master. Different category, so I don't have to beat myself up if I win.

I am chuffed.

More on Kindle of Lord Ian

I've been told that there is a technical glitch of some kind getting the Kindle version of Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie up and running. So please, continue clicking on the "I'd like to read this in Kindle" link on the Ian page:

Which is here

And light candles to the tech gods that it gets resolved soon. I'm seriously annoyed (as are those of you waiting for the Kindle version), but candles and chanting is about all we can do for now. Thank you for your patience.

Kindle version of Lord Ian?

I've been getting many questions about when the Kindle version of Madness of Lord Ian is coming out, and here's my answer: I don't know!!

What can you (my wonderful readers) do about it?:

Go to the Amazon page for Madness of Lord Ian:

Which is here

and click the link that says "Tell the publisher! I'd like to read this book on Kindle" That link sends a message to Amazon that there's an interested customer (it doesn't grab your name or anything; it's just an alert to Amazon that someone clicked.)

Apparently, the more interest Amazon gets, the faster the Kindle version will be put up.

I truly don't know what is up with the Kindle version. My other books have come out in Kindle almost right away. In fact, this is only one of the frustrating release problems with this book; there have been other fiascoes.

But hey, if the clicking works, I'm all for it! So if you want Kindle, please go click!

Virtual Book Signing

Today I'm at Night Owl Romances with something a little different--a "virtual" booksigning.

How it works: If you purchase any of my books today (online or in a store), stop by the site, fill out the form (it explains how you do a proof of purchase), and I send you a goodie package, with includes my autograph.

Any of my books are eligible, purchased wherever you shop--only new copies, not used.

Tammie at Night Owl has done a few of these, and I hear they're great fun. So stop buy, get a book, and get some goodies!

Finding Ian

I've been hearing readers saying they are having difficulty finding Madness of Lord Ian, especially at Borders. I truly don't know what is up with that. I know (because I've seen it with my eyeballs), that it is well stocked at B&N and Walmart, and of course indie booksellers. Also, if it hasn't hit a Target in your area it should very soon. And there's always online.

Did you know you can buy online from Indie Booksellers? Since I'm an indie fan, here's a link to where you can find Lord Ian in bookstores, online booksellers, and the like:

Thanks to the readers who have already emailed me about Lord Ian. I appreciate every single one!
