99¢ AAD sale, book signing, & sweet giveaways around blogtown!

Hey woodland buddies! So, I'm off to Authors After Dark (AAD), a reader/author convention in Philadelphia (a city name that is almost as hard to spell as Phoenix, I have discovered!)

You actually don't need this card to get
the 99-cent deal - it's the price everywhere
during AAD. But, the card makes it funner!

Special AAD Wild & Steamy deal
Both Meljean Brook and I will be at AAD, and we have cooked up a special AAD deal for our anthology, where it will cost only 99¢ during the conference! We have these nifty cards we'll be handing out with QR codes that take smartphones to our Wild & Steamy site. (But, everyone can get in on the 99¢ AAD sale by buying it the regular way! It's just funner with the cards.)

Signing
 It will be a weekend full of book-related fun: panels, parties, games, meeting readers and other authors. If you're in the Philly area this weekend, there is a big AAD multi-author signing downtown at the Doubletree Hotel. It's Saturday from 2-4, and completely free and open to the public! I will be there, handing out my trading cards and the Wild & Steamy card, and signing books. And here's a list of other authors who will be there.

Out and about: fun things & giveaways

• Book Editor extraordinaire Beth over at CC2K went to Borders recently and grabbed some faves, and created a Fare Thee Well Borders book giveaway.  Up for grabs: Outlander by Gabaldon, Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane, Feed by Mira Grant, A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, and Mind Games by you know who. Go forth and enter. 

• Book Faery Tori's Battle of the Sexies: Sidekick edition fun rages on--also with some serious prize action!

I hope everybody has a safe and excellent week. I will try to post pictures. I will, I will!
