Join me in the first NIGHTKEEPERS scavenger hunt.

Entries are open now and will close on June 3.  Winners will be drawn on June 3 to celebrate the official release of NIGHTKEEPERS! 

For scavenger hunt questions and more info, please visit the Ball Court.

Now through the summer solstice (6/21), submit your photo of the book (Nightkeepers) somewhere- is it in a bookstore near you?  Is it with you on the beach?  In a train?  At the top of El Castillo at Chichen Itza? 

For rules and more info, please check out the Ball Court. 

Tonight at 8 pm (EST), the WARDen and I will be chatting at www.KnightAgency.net.  We'll be announcing the winners of the purple prose contest being held on the BDB bulletin board, and dishing about NIGHTKEEPERS, LOVER ENSHRINED, and whatever you'd like to talk about (within reason ).  So check it out!

ETA: here's a direct link to the chat: http://client1.sigmachat.com/sc.php?id=115545

Or you can reach it through the Knight Agency's blog.

Hope to see you there!

Hey all!  Nightkeepers is being pimped at Romance Nove TV this week, so please stop by!

The big day will be this Thursday (6/26) when I'll be guest blogging.  Would love it if you stopped by and left a comment!

I'll update with the actual link on Thursday when the blog goes live. 

 Their initial write up:  Marisa read it and she says, it is not just another paranormal romance. Not by a long shot. It's fresh, compelling, surprising, intricate and beautrifully written.

I'll be participating in a rocking 450-author signing on July 30, as part of the Romance Writers of America national convention. 

Here are the deets:

The "Readers for Life" Literacy Autographing has become one of the most popular events at RWA's annual conference. Over 500 romance authors participate in this two-hour autographing event, and each year we raise thousands of dollars, which are donated to ProLiteracy Worldwide. Since 1991, RWA has donated over $600,000 to literacy charities.

The 2008 "Readers for Life" Literacy Autographing takes place on Wednesday, July 30, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the San Francisco Marriott, Yerba Buena Ballroom. (This event is open to the public.)

Please join me in celebrating a bit of rearranging!  In particular, I've tried to make it easier for you to find me online (see the updated 'Contacts' page), and have streamlined the Forum and added a ton of cool links to the References section.  Check out the Books page for info on Dawnkeepers and some early reviews!

For the rest of this month I'll be blogging over at Heidi Betts's WIPs and Chains.  Come on over, say 'hi', and maybe win some stuff!  The introductory post went live today (12/15), with an interview posted next week, then a blog post the week after.  Hope to see you there!

Come check in with your pre-2012 wish list, and enter to win an ARC of Dawnkeepers!  Check it out at SmartBitchesTrashyBooks.com!

From January 1 through January 6, we'll be counting down the final days to the release of Dawnkeepers at Romance Novel TV!

Each day around 1 pm, a new video clip from will be posted (interviews with Jess, clips of Jess and JR Ward hamming it up, etc.), along with a blog, a blog question and an opportunity to win cool stuff.

I'll post direct links as they become available, or you can go straight to RomanceNovel.tv

See you there!
