Where’s Carla?
Guess what I found out today? My workshop with Lexi George and Heather Leonard has been picked for the Moonlight and Magnolias conference in Norcross, GA this October. We’re so excited. Twice we’ve presented it (and I was so freaking stiff – got to work on that – so unlike me) for groups of writers.
It’s called The Pitch is Back. Yeah, yeah. Not very original, but it works and I plan to play the Elton John song (appropriate considering he lives in Atlanta part of the time) The Bitch is Back while waiting for people to sit. Anyway, it will be a lot of fun to attend as we actually act out how to behave and not behave with an editor and agent. Not just telling you BUT REALLY SHOWING IT! HA! It’s a lot of laughs.
So come and join in the fun. Click here to find out more about the conference. It’s probably one of the three largest RWA chapter conferences.
And don’t forget I will be signing my book, CIRCLE OF DECEPTION, at the book fair October 11 there.
See you then!
Guess Who Is Coming . . .
Guess who is coming to Birmingham (AL, USA)?!
Eloisa James!
That’s March 31, 2014 at 7 PM, Books-a-Million (Brookwood Village Mall). Hope to see you there!
Feeling The Love
Though I’m still wary about Amazon.com (they are taking over the world), they provide a neat service to authors (no matter who publishes your books). They have an area called Author Central where authors can sign in and look at info from BookScan. That service shows your sales of paperbacks throughout mainland U.S.A. I have a feeling it’s not totally accurate, but that’s okay. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know anything until I receive my royalties payments. So I’m happy to see something in the meanwhile.
The info doesn’t tell you what store or who buys the book. It can tell you what city it was sold in. I’m happy and tickled to no end that the Orlando-Daytona Beach-Melbourne love my books. They’ve sold the most. I have a feeling that either a book store bought them or a large book club. THANK YOU!!
It’s no surprise that the second largest sale was in Alabama. I do a lot of book signings there. THANK YOU!!
And the third is all due to my friends at FreshFiction.com. Yep, the Dallas-Ft. Worth area!
THANK YOU!!
Woman’s Prerogative
Ha! That subject line is great for excusing all kinds of behavior, isn’t it?
Last year, I decided that this year I would only do two big events and two small. The big ones were RT Book Lovers Convention in KC and the Romance Writers of America Conference in Atlanta. The small were Heart of Dixie’s and Southern Magic’s Romance Readers Luncheon.
Well, now I’m considering doing one more in Dallas, TX. I know I need to decide this weekend before it’s too late, if it isn’t already. My buddies, Sherrilyn and Dianna will be there along with a couple more. Money-wise I believe I can swing it, but vacation is at a premium at the day job.
Is there anyone in Dallas that would like to see me and get a signed copy of my book(s)?
