Meet the Girl who loved a Vampire

There's a facebook party going on today to celebrate the release of Kaitlyn's Tale by Christine Amsden. Why not join in and find out more about a scarily grown-up paranormal world, just slightly set aside from our own, with stories perfectly designed for all the mothers of Harry Potter fans.

Everyone has secrets, and even the walls might not be what they seem in Christine Amsden’s novel, Kaitlyn’s Tale. But some people have bigger secrets than others, and some don’t even know what secrets they hide as the powerful struggle to control the powerless, and those with nothing struggle to find what’s hidden in their souls.

Readers of Christine Amsden’s Cassie Scott series will be pleased to rediscover all the familiar characters, and to find out more about them. Meanwhile new readers will be intrigued with a genuinely different take on vampires, werewolves and magic, a world full of believable adults just slightly outside our experience, a woman struggling to work out who to trust when she won’t even trust herself, and survivors finding hope.

Author Christine Amsden deals with some serious real-world issues, and creates some wonderfully sensual love scenes between great protagonists, while continuing a story of the power-hungry balancing what they can do against what they should or more probably shouldn’t. It’s a haunting tale raising intriguing thought-provoking questions. But it’s also a great adventure, a pleasingly different romance, and a wonderful novel of hope and recovered strength. I didn't want it to end, though it ends beautifully. And I hope the author will write more.


Disclosure: I was given a copy and I offer my honest review. Also, I love the series!

How to Connect those Connections

Taken from a talk I gave on Sunday at the Writers' Mill. This is a very low-level approach to getting connected, from one beginner to another... Internet Writing, Marketing and Networking If you’ve got an email address you’re on the internet. If you’ve got a book out or an article in a magazine, you’re into marketing. If you’ve got friends, you’re networking. And if you use Google, you can do almost anything. Google Google is your friend. Google “how to join facebook” “How to join goodreads” “How to join Twitter” etc… Google “facebook badges” “blogger widgets” etc… to spice up your pages. Anything you want to know, a nice simple question to google will almost certainly tell you. But keep safe . Don’t just click on the first link you see. Make sure it looks vaguely genuine. “F*@!book.com/badges” might take you somewhere you don’t want your computer to go. “Facebook.com/badges” tells you all about badges. Why would you want to join all these interne

Sliding a final achievement under the wire...

The year's almost over and I really can't believe it. Where did the time go? I've been reading my friends' resolution lists posted online, and feeling bad about my lack thereof - of lists I mean; I have plenty more resolutions than I need. Get published. Get published. That seems to be my constant refrain, but not an aim I can claim to have much control over. Last year I tried amending it to "submit," and I think I managed it. At least, I was managing until summer. But then it was Christmas and New Year's Eve. Where did the time go? Still, I am sliding one final achievement under the wire of '09. I took the Poetic Asides November challenge, sometime in those missing months, and wrote a poem a day for 30 days. But then you have to organize a collection of 10-20 poems to complete the task. I finished today. (Luckily dinner was easy to make.) And now I have a collection of 20 poems, entitled Patriot Son. All I have to do is email it and I can claim to ha
