NaNo and Cincinnati

What do NaNoWriMo and the Lori Foster/Dianne Castell Reader-and-Author-Get-

Together have in common?

(Give up?)

Camp NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow morning, June 1.

I'll be in Cincinnati at the get-together -- or at least, getting ready for the get-together. I have to deliver my goodies for the registration bags, then hope to spend a few hours working on my Camp NaNoWriMo story before activities get ... active!

What's Camp NaNoWriMo?

National Novel Writing Month -- but in the summertime!
We get assigned to cabins, with people writing the same genres, or our same age -- or in my case, I opted to be "surprised" by who I get assigned to.

It's encouraging to have feedback and some contact with people who are struggling like me to make a quota each day and get a book rough drafted in one month. And since I have 4 more Tabor Heights novels to rough out for Year Two ... and I have to turn in the first book at the end of August ... I gotta get to work big-time!!!

Booksigning, Book Sale, and Magazines -- Oh, My!

Lotsa news!

FIRST OFF:

I will be signing -- and selling books -- on FRIDAY night, June 1, at the Lori Foster/Dianne Castell Reader and Auther Get-Together.

The booksigning for indy and e-pubbed authors starts at 7pm in the main body of the hotel. Come through the front doors and follow the crowds!

Address:
Cincinnati Marriott North

6189 Mulhauser Road

NEXT NEWS:
 
From now until Thursday, May 31, DETOURS, one of my Tabor Heights novels, will be ON SALE at AMAZON -- 99 cents until the end of May. Now's your chance to check out a Tabor Heights novel at a great low price.
 
 
FINAL NEWS:
 
Felicity, Zap and Dogs, a Neighborlee, Ohio short-short fiction story, will be coming out in the 2nd issue of Splickety Magazine.
 
Neighborlee is the location for my Divine's Emporium stories, and where the 4th All's Fae in Love and Chocolate stories took place.

Big News!

I'm delighted to announce that TRUE CADERI, a Commonwealth Universe story, has been re-released with gorgeous new cover art from Writers Exchange.

Where does CADERI fit into the timeline?

Well, it takes place a generation or so after the events of the Sunsinger Chronicles, and one generation before the Chorillan Cycle books begin.

In fact, the baby born during TRUE CADERI is Captain Jaklyn, who gets married at the beginning of AZULI EYES. Her daughter, Alexa, is best friends with Kay'li Fieran, the heroine of the Chorillan Cycle books.

Jaklyn is the daughter of Alex, the daughter of Herin, whom you met in the Sunsinger books LEAP SHIPS, ARAMAR, and GEMAR. Herin married Gorgi Cole, who also shows up in HOVEN QUEST with their son -- and their grandson, Nobi, features prominently in the Chorillan Cycle books.

Feel a little more solid in where you are with TRUE CADERI?

Going to be in Cincinnati on June 1?

I'll be participating in the booksigning Friday night at the annual Lori Foster and Diane Castell Readers and Authors Get-Together.  Stop by!

Check Lori Foster's site or check out her Facebook page for details of the time and place and all the authors who will be participating. It's great fun -- and proceeds every year are raised for good causes, like women's shelters, our troops, animal shelters, etc.



I'll be signing print copies of AZULI EYES, SCOUTS' PRIDE, and THE SECOND TIME AROUND, as well as other books in print. You don't even have to make sure you have cash -- I now have a credit card reader and can take payments through my iPad.

Ain't technology grand?

Hope to see you there!
