Week End Wrap-Up (8)

I hope everyone has had a great week!  Mine was super busy but really great!

On Wednesday I got to go up to The Kings English Bookshop for a signing and got to meet Angela Corbett, author of Eternal Starling and Lani Woodland, author of Intrinsical and Indelible.  Angela did a reading and Eternal Starling sounds like a lot of fun!  Can't wait to read it!

Yesterday I happened across something incredibly exciting!  Yesterday's edition of The Wall Street Journal had an article titled "A Reader's Guide to Self-Published Big Sellers" that featured 12 different books, and guess what?  Branded was one of them!  My name and my book was totally in the WSJ!  Holy freaking exciting and cool!  Here's the link to the online article.  And here's some pictures I snapped of the print version!

 How seriously cool is that?! (I think I may have already said that... lol)  Needless to say, it really made my day!

And, just in case you missed it, I announced on Monday that I will be releasing a combined version of the Fall of Angels trilogy on December 19, 2011.  Here's the cover if you haven't seen it yet:

Eden's cover got placed on a couple of cool lists!  One HERE and HERE.

So I think that's about it for me!  I hope you all have an excellent weekend!

Week End Wrap-Up (7)

Hello again everyone!  Is it just me or did September go by WAY too fast?!  October?!  Wow!  Moving on... Here is what's been going on the last week in Keary land!

I did an interview with the fabulous Kristie Cook and you can read it HERE.

Don't forget to enter my Second Chance Giveaway of The Eleventh Plague!  Entries close tonight so don't wait! The post  to enter is HERE.

Blog Posts this week:

My Wasting Time Skills
Cover Lust: Struck
VINDICATED's Release Date!

I know that I said I was hoping to do the reveal of VINDICATED'S cover by the end of the week, but obviously that didn't happen.  I'm working on it.  It is REALLY close to being done, but I just want to make sure it is perfect before I share it with everyone!  So stay tuned the beginning of this next week!

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!  Be safe!

Week End Wrap-Up (6)

Hey guys!  I hope everyone had a great week!  Fall seems to be coming quickly here on Orcas Island and I'm both loving it (because I love fall) and dreading it (because we didn't get much of a summer and fall eventually leads to winter...).  Here's what's been up with me this week.

I posted the pictures from my photo shoot with Jenni Merritt HERE.

I also posted VINDICATED's playlist HERE.

You can check out the bookmarks I made for Jessica Spotswood, author of BORN WICKED, HERE.

Kindle Obsessed posted this great review of EDEN, you can read it HERE.

Oh yeah, as you can see, I redid the blog a bit.  I don't know if I will keep this header and background forever, but I needed a change.  And my old layout was WAY too busy so I've majorly simplified and I'm really happy with the change.

In news: I finished round 2 of the edits to VINDICATED!  I am currently about 2 weeks ahead of schedule with it.  I hope to let you know a release date in the next week or so (it's going to be earlier than you're expecting!).

Well, I think that's about it!  I'm off to Leavenworth, WA tomorrow for a few days on a much needed camping trip/vacation with the hubby and the kids!  Take care!

Week End Wrap-Up (4)

Forgive me if I don't make a whole lot of sense in this post, it's early and my brain doesn't quite feel awake.

The past two weeks or so have been totally INSANE for me!  Seriously non stop.  I have a mountain of laundry to do and no time to do it.  Oh well, despite the stress of being so busy I love it!  It means things are going good.

I haven't had a whole lot of time to browse around the web this week but here are two links for you:

I was interviewed by the local newspaper here on the islands.  The article is here: http://www.pnwlocalnews.com/lifestyle/127902348.html

Here is a bit more of my graphic design work done for the awesome Jill Hathaway!  Bookmarks for her upcoming novel, SLIDE, coming out March of 2012.  http://jillscribbles.blogspot.com/2011/08/so-evidently-it-pays-to-whine-on.html

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Week End Wrap-Up (3)

Yet again this week I don't have a ton for you guys.  Summer is speeding by so fast I'm afraid if I blink once it will be over.  Things are just crazy but awesome right now!

The only link I have to share with you today is an interview I did with the amazing and super sweet DJ who always makes me smile from DJ's Life in Fiction.  You can read it HERE.

Oh yeah, if you're on Google+ come find me HERE (hope this link works anyway, lol).  Honestly I think I like Google+ more than I like Facebook now, though I don't use G+ as much just for the fact that there aren't as many people on it, yet...!

Just to let you guys all know, I am going out of town today to see my family for two weeks so you may not see any blog posts from me till I get back.  I'll miss you guys but I miss my family more!  I will be back the first weekend in August and I'll catch up with you all then!

Have an awesome weekend!

Week End Wrap-Up (2)

Sadly I don't have a whole lot to share with you for this Wrap-Up.  This has been a crazy busy week so I haven't had a ton of time to find awesome links for you.  So here's the one that I do have for you, a great review of EDEN by the Reading Addict HERE.

Just a few updates:  I know Branded had some editing and formatting issues so I hired 2 editors a few weeks back and the new, error-free version is now uploaded for Kindle, Nook, and Smashwords.

I am working on Vindicated currently.  I'm just short of half way through the first draft.  It's coming along slower than I would have hoped, things are just so busy lately I'm having a hard time finding time to give it love and having a hard time focusing.  But fear not!  The words are slowly leaking out onto the page!  All I will say now is that I can not wait to write the ending!  It is going to be intense and amazing!

That's about it for this week!  I hope you all have an amazing weekend!
