Lots to do to get ready for a book tour

So this coming weekend is the last weekend i have to be normal till the middle of November. Why? BOOK TOUR! yay! I'm rather excited about it too. Finally i get to get out there and hock my wares to an unsuspecting public. The dates i have set up are first rate, a bunch of bookstores and a few events... This is going to be a really really fun time.

And i just found out Im going to be doing two days of goodness at the NYCIP expo in December. two days hanging out at the ARe table selling both print and e books with some awesome and fabulous authors. SO cant wait.

And Im already starting to set up 2008's signing tour. We are looking at the Philadelphia Book Fest, the Milbrook Literary Fest and other events as well as RT and a lot of instore signings. I LOVE setting this stuff up. I mean its almost as fun as actually doing the signings, and its like I'm back in the promoter business. LOL.

So this weekend is the end of normalcy. I have to start, come Monday, to get the table stuff together, and start packing the goodie bags and gift basket. I cant wait for the 30th to see Tilly an Cat and Bonnie and Denise and Yvette. this is going to be a awesome time.

Kael on the other hand, a Water elemental dragon, knows Bryn, a Glacies demon, is exactly what he’s been looking for his entire life, and curses it. After all that had happened so far, to lose his heart to a demon is not something he’s prepared to do.

Between treasure hunting and her love of the sea, Kael knows this woman is everything he’s ever wanted, its just finding and dealing with the demon that has her soul that’s going to be a bitch
.

REVIEWS

Deep Water is a story that depicts lovely characters and imaginable scenery that transports the reader into the exquisite resort and ocean waters. Bryn is an interesting person, as well as Kael. Their heated chemistry kicks off magically creating beautiful music. I enjoyed their engaging dialogue. Stella and Audra Price craft an enchanting read not only with stirring romance but some intrigue along the way in a fantastic world that phenomenally comes alive.

4 cups, Cherokee, Coffee Time Reviews

Deep Water is a fabulously rich read. Kael is a charming, cheeky guy whom I immediately liked. He and Bryn have a chemistry that is a pleasure to watch unfold! Bryn is a woman who on the inside still holds the insecurities of a girl, but on the outside has developed a thicker skin to help her survive. Watching her heal was both beautiful and gratifying. Stella and Audra Price have the ability to make me slow down and experience a story, and Deep Water is no different in that regard. There was so much packed into it that I savored this romance like a huge fudge brownie. This second installment in the Dragon Elementals series was worth the time it took to relish every yummy bit! I can’t wait to see what the Price sisters have in store for the next book in this series!

4.5 stars, LynseyAnne, Ecata Sensual

The Dragon Elementals series is addictive, and the next installment can't come out soon enough!

5 stars, Marlene, Mystique Books

Stella and Audra Price continue to write some of the sexiest books out there. DEEP WATER has some of their most sensuous scenes yet, particularly when Bryn swims with Kael in his dragon form. I also love the strength that Stella and Audra Price imbue in their female characters. Bryn has lost her soul in an ill-advised bargain with another demon but her spirit isn’t broken. DEEP WATER is yet another highly recommended and sizzling hot tale from Stella and Audra Price..

5 Klovers, Anne, Kwips and Kritiques

Another great book by the Price Sisters.

9.5, Howling Scribe

work work work.

Yeah thats about all i do. Getting ready for signings and releases that are all thrust on you at once is hard as hell. And now im thinking of redoing the Frost and Flame cover for the January release. I swear i give myself too many projects. Not that i dont like it, my brain needs to keep stimulated or else i go into a funk. Like i was in SC. I knew i had to work but it was so damn difficult. I have decided that I dont like vacations because it stands for me not working for a lengthy period of time. Ill stick to weekends off thank you very much.
So I just found out that Gifts and The Soft Edge of Midnight will be out October 1st. Two NOVELS at once. Its unheard of with us! and then, WISHBOUND comes out in october as well. Needless to say this is going to be a taxing month ahead, what with every weekend signings and weekly promotions to do to get the books selling at ARe.
OOh and Im going to do the ARE table at the Small PRess Expo BOTH DAYS! yep, im so excited, and Ill be handling some of the scheduling for them for the weekend too. SOOO excited! I have been looking forward to going to this event since we started writing, which in essence is a smaller more concentrated version of BEA. this is going to be a good time.
The Tease Dark Tarot stuff is coming along nicely. Im eager to see who tease chooses for this, And who gets the sexy cards! this is a lot of fun working with them on this promotion.
Today is mail day. I have to go to the PO and send out a CRAP load of mail to the places im doing signings with. tools of the trade so to speak. I hope they all do well.
Ok well thats my time here. I need to get back to work so Aud and I can get back to Cash and Faris.

So i think its about time i said my peace...

So with al the BS floating about with the MGP crap, i have tried to keep my mouth shut and deal with what I know. Its been hard, but theres nothing to be done about it. See when i went through the Bullshit of pulling in May, i did my homework, and i researched the shit out of this. I pulled because of SEVERAL breaches of contract, and i did so cleanly. I tried to warn people, tried to get the information to the "Right" people and it did me no good. No one listened, no one cared, and I got shit talked about Audra and I several times when we pulled because of our own "unethical" practices of not being a "team player" and the worst was being accused of being a "primasdonna". Well Im not, and shit was still being talked up until what I said would happen did. Well needless to say i feel like fucking Casandra. No one listened, and that's fine.
As of this point I know i will never receive my money for the print books i sold. i wont ever receive the money for the books i sold on FW and ARE. is that fair? No. But theres nothing i can do except let people know what the facts are. Its sad though that not one person listened to a word i said. Now they are all going to get fucked, Grabbing their ankles on their lawns, and when it comes down to it, its all because of a shady business deal. Im not playing those games anymore.Im too into my career and getting ahead, but the RIGHT way.
I promote, i do signings and i sell my ass off so i can get ahead and get the things i deserve. Im a big fan of fair.
So this is what i have to say about MGP: I got fucked. I hope Karma does a number on her for the shit she pulled with honest and hardworking authors. But Im not giving up anything else... And i only hope that Karma helps me out in the long run.

there i said it.
