Today’s stop on the blog tour:

I’m having really good coffee and a chat with Yasmine Galenorn at MySpace (mirrored on LiveJournal). Come join the conversation and find out my favorite form of caffeine.

 

(Okay, not the greatest picture of me — certainly wouldn’t use it on a book cover — but not bad for the teeny-weeny lens on a laptop.)

 

Blog Tour: Weds. Nov 5

I’m over at Writerspace talking about one of my favorite places to write (and the book, of course).

Yes, I know I said I was there yesterday. I was wrong. That happens sometimes.  Rarely, but it does. Just ask my kids.

While you’re over there, take a look around.  It’s a great place for fans of romance.

 

3-2-1 Launch!

Today’s the day!  IMMORTAL WARRIOR is officially ON SALE (though people have already been buying/reading/loving it). Pick up a copy on your way to the polls so you have something to read while you wait in line. Books and Ballots!

And as the book hits the shelves, I’m hitting the cyber highway with a terrific blog tour organized by Pump Up Your Book Promotion.  I’ll be making two dozen stops this month, at sites large and small, reader-oriented or writer-friendly, or even, in one case, gamer-friendly.  I haven’t had time to get the full schedule into a form that Wordpress tolerates, so for now, I’ll just keep you up to date here. Find me  today at:

Writerspace talking about where I write;  (Oops, got the date wrong)

Yankee Romance Reviewers musing about why Viking heroes are so yummy;

and at

Reading with Monie (review today–5 Stars!–and an interview on the 11th)

 

Visit. Comment. Have fun.

November Contest Live!

eagle amuletThis one’s the killer contest I’ve been planning almost since I started the book.  I managed to lay hands on a reproduction Viking amulet, just like the one Ivar wears in Immortal Warrior.  It’s based on a design from the Bamberg Casket, and it’s hand cast in silver alloy and comes with a matching chain. I was so excited when I found it and even more when it arrived in the mail; it’s heavy and wonderful and full of magic of it’s own.

And if that isn’t enough, the winner will also receive my complete backlist, all autographed.

You’ll need to read the excerpt so you can answer the simple question, then click on over to my official Contest Page to enter.  And good luck!
