Blogging on blogging, of all things

There's a new review up for Mr. Darcy's Great Escape on Readaholic. Yay!

I know a lot of authors have very informative blogs, in that it acts as sort of a personal journal for their lives, and readers really like that. The main reason is that I sort of already have a live journal that is very personal and a blog about my job and a Facebook account that needs updating and I stopped short at a Twitter feed. I'm a shut-in writer living in a tiny apartment in Manhattan. My life isn't half as interesting to justify the multitude of social resources I already have to tell people about my life. There's also the matter that there's only so much writing I can get done in a day, and preferably, I'd like to be writing, you know, books.

That and I don't have any cute pets to photograph.

So really, if you want to ask me something about my life, email me and I'll answer in a post, but I'm not going to throw myself out there unless I have something to say that is about my books or my life as an author.

Kindle

It seems Mr. Darcy's Great Escape is now available on Kindle. So if you own a Kindle, and you've been waiting ... your wait is over! Hooray!

My first reading

I did my first reading last night, at a literary cafe thing organized by my old City College professor. Not really bookstore-level, but I was honored to do it anyway, and it will make the next reading a little less terrifying.

That popular blog post where I say crazy things

Honestly, I don't know how I got away with this one. Also there's a review of the book in the same post.

More reviews:
She Read a Book
Jenny Loves to Read

More, More, More

I forgot that the time around the actual release date (Feb 1st) is a really exciting time, because that's when all the reviews come in.

I talk about specifics of book 3 and future plotlines for the hopefully-to-be-published series at the blog A Curious Statistical Anamoly.

Contest

The second stop on my blog tour is at the Diary of an Eccentric, where I try to give advice to new/young writers. More importantly, if you leave a post to that blog with your email address, you will be entered in a contest to win all three books from Sourcebooks!

New reviews from Debbie's World of Books and Palmer's Picks for Reading.

Blog Tours and Good News

My first post on the blog tour is up at Books like Breathing, where I talk about the challenges of developing the next generation of characters.

Amazon is reporting they only have 5 copies of book 3 left, which is awesome. Book selling out = good. And don't worry; they always have more copies than they say they do.
