I’m Back! (And note to self: never again schedule a long vacation the week before a book release.)
Yep, that’s right folks. I was on vacation last week. In Alaska. It was just as beautiful and relaxing as everyone says it is. Spreadsheet Guy and two other couples who are friends of ours booked a 9 day cruise. We stopped at Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, coasted through Glacier Bay and College Fjords, then ended up in Whittier, Alaska, which is basically in the middle of nowhere. We went for hikes, took in the scenery by train, tracked a group of whales, and had a wonderful time. When we weren’t out and about, we laid claim to a table and played Libertalia, Colt Express, 7 Wonders, and Telestrations (everyone else tried REALLY hard to turn this into a Cards Against Humanity Telestrations. Am I the only one who hates playing Cards Against Humanity?)
Fun times, yall. Fun times.
(Check out how close this baby whale came to our boat! Totally surprised us!)

So this begins today. I kinda can’t believe it’s almost July and release day already, but hurray! I can’t wait to hear what you guys all think of Shades of Treason. Two more days! But in the meantime, I’m giving away 10 copies of Shades of Treason, winner’s choice of print or ebook (ebook for international winners, though). Today, there’s an interview with me at Addicted 2 Heroines. Hope on over there to read it, and learn why I chose to self publish Shades of Treason.
What’s inside?- Signed Shades of Treason and Shadow Reader bookmarks
- Romance Trading Cards for all three Shadow Reader novels
- My favorite swag – Scratch-and-Win games! Match three covers and you might win an Amazon gift card. These are so much fun to make and give out. 🙂
- And last, but definitely not least, a beautiful Nebula Necklace! I like to think the planet silhouette in the necklace is Caruth, the planet where Rykus and Ash first meet. 🙂
(Are you guys still reading this post? Yall are hanging around for the secret, aren’t you? Well, it’s not a HUGE secret, but it’s exciting to me. I sort of, not-quite-accidentally, hit publish on the super gorgeous print version of Shades of Treason. What does that mean? That means that real life, 3D, hold-it-in-your-hands-and-smell-the-pages, PRINT copies of Shades of Treason can be bought right now and sent to your doorstep. It’s up at Amazon right now, but should be everywhere else soon if you prefer to order from other retailers. So, for those of you who are print fans, if you order today, you can have Shades of Treason in your hands on release day.
Ah, it’s the little things that make me happy. 🙂
Congrats on the newest release! I will be checking this book out!!
I have been lucky enough to win two of your scratch-n-win cards. Scratched one, but couldn’t bring myself to ‘deface’ the other. They are so incredible cool I did not want to ruin it! (Just thought you might get a chuckle from this.)
My aunt lived in Alaska for several years; was her favorite place. She travels frequently. Would you post pix of scenery if you have any please?
Hi, Dawn! That’s too funny. But what if that unscratched card is the “big” winner??? You’ll never know if you don’t scratch it. 🙂
I’ll try to post some more pics later this week. Alaska is gorgeous, and I’d love to go back. I feel like I HAVE to go back, once during the winter, and another time during the salmon season, which should be starting in a few more weeks. I’d love to see the salmon returning to their homes!
I’m going to order the print book TODAY! Congrats on book #4! When does the next one come out?? #nopressure
Woohoo! I love the print books. They’re gorgeous. 🙂
Next book will be out sometime in 2016. Hopefully, EARLY 2016. 🙂
