Audio Book for #BetweeTwoFires

The audio book version of Between Two Fires comes out at the end of this month! Before I elaborate on that, I'm chilling over at Stephanie Dray's fantastic blog today! She's a bestseller in her own right and every page she's written is worth the read.

And as far as the audio version of my novel goes, I couldn't be happier with it! Click the above link/image to give a listen to the first chapter. Barrie Kreinik gives a powerful performance as the narrator...I think I'll go give it another listen now:)

First Official Book Signing!

I had my first official book launch and book signing event last Saturday, and it surpassed all my expectations! But before I get into that, I'm over at Deborah Swift's blog today! Stop on by:)

At my book launch event, we had over a hundred attendees, and by the time I was done signing books we were only two copies shy of a complete sellout from my distributor (Books, Inc.). My writing hand is a little tired, but it was all for a good cause, and I definitely had a blast! I can't wait for my next book signing event this coming weekend!

Inside the Pocket

Lots of great stuff to discuss today! Firstly, I'm over at Christine Rain's blog today, one of my many favorite haunts in the blogosphere. Stop on by:)

Also, I'm being featured in the latest magazine edition of Inside the Pocket in Sacramento, CA. The incomparable Jessica Laskey interviewed me about my book along with all the ins and outs of my journey to getting published. It's available in print and e-versions. Hope you enjoy it!

First Book Signing Saturday!

My first official book launch event and book signing is this Saturday! But before I get into that, I'm also over at Elizabeth Varadan's awesome blog today. She's been a blogging buddy of mine for a long time, and a fantastic author in her own right!

As for the book signing this Saturday at 2pm, it will be held in the Burlingame Main Library (Lane Room), courtesy of Books, Inc. My novel will be available for sale at the event as well. We should have a pretty decent-sized crowd, so I'm super looking forward to it! Hope to see you there! 

Heroes & Heartbreakers

I'm chilling with one of my favorite people today at Kristin's blog. She's a fantastic writer, and Kristin has her own novel, Catalyst, coming out soon. I've gotten to read an early copy and it's awesome!

I was also fortunate enough to get to guest post on the Heroes and Heartbreakers blog. You can checkout my article there about "Love and Survival in Medieval Wales." Hope you enjoy it! 

Day Two of My Book

It's day two of my book being released into the wild, so to speak, and I couldn't be happier! Today I'm visiting Crystal and Donna's blogs, so feel free to stop on by and say 'hi.' It feels kind of strange to be in uncharted territory, all this build up and now the book is finally available for people to read!

On another bright note, my Thunderclap campaign was a resounding success! We surpassed our goal of over a 100 contributors, and reached over 300,000 people on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr accounts. Not bad for a single morning. :) 

Today's the Big Day!!!!!

Today is the big day! My debut historical fiction novel Between Two Fires hits bookstores today! Barnes & Noble, Amazon, iBooks, Macmillan, you name, it's available! So pumped!

And to kickoff this big day, I've got quite a few volunteers who have generously posted info on my new book release. Here are their blogs below, where I'll be spending a good portion of my day today! Thanks to everyone for your generous and heartfelt support!
