This week? Dragon Con stuff and kickstarter. Next week? A snippet!

DRAGON CON!!!

I have a reading at Dragon Con and I have BIG plans! I’ll be reading from Jane Yellowrock, either book 10, SHADOW RITES, or from one of the novellas in BLOOD IN HER VEINS. Or maybe both! I have TONS of giveaways, including an old ARC, some foreign titles, and some Gwen Hunter titles to give way! I have new stakes. (New stakes from Shadow Rites.) I have 3 handwritten pages from a novel. Yes. I started it by hand! I will be giving it away. AND! A code for a free audiobook. Also — IF it all works out (and I can’t promise anything!), Jane and Thorn St. Croix will be there for pictures. I put the reading and the book signing in red! Check out the schedule (if you missed it before) and then skip on down to the kickstarter part. I have new news!

Kickstarter! News! Read all about it! Announcing it here!

The short story I am writing for WERE will be set in the Jane Universe. I can’t promise that it will include Jane herself, but if we reach our next stretch goal, $15,000, I promise that I will allow fans to vote on the character, said voting to be done on one of my Facebook pages in a poll. Unless someone suggests something better, your choices will be:

  1. A human or witch of my choice, Brute, and an arcenciel hunt a tiger that escaped into the bayous from a traveling carnival. It turns out to be a were-tiger, and it’s tracking them.
  2. Rick (who has to be emotionally tortured by Paka, because, well, Rick) hunt a were-creature in the Appalachians. The moon is full, and Rick can’t shift. But Paka can, and gets into mischief.
  3. Jane and Gee go hunting and fall afoul (a fowl? Yes I know, not punny) of a were-creature who is stronger than them both together. Will they form a real alliance to stop the were, or will they leave the creature free to torment teh nearby town?
  4.  Nomad (Jane’s first boyfriend) and Kimnebi hunt for a were-African-lion, loose in the Appalachian mountains.

That’s it for now!
