Thirteen reasons

Guess what?

Yes, it so happens that Hunters is now available for purchase! Indeed, if you desire to buy the masterpiece, you may now do so in print, PDF and Html (for now). Kindle and every other outlet coming soon.

Before you take me too seriously, take heed that the above is a spoof and should be treated as such. Except the book being available, which is real. And just to prove it, here's a link where you can buy it.

What am I doing now? The already famous happy dance (which is pretty weird to do in public, since most people have no idea what's going on).



To celebrate this extraordinary event, I shall give you 13 reasons to read this book:

1. I know that you read the word vampire in the blurb and probably want to run screaming. DON'T. How about a book in which vampires are back to being the original bad guys, bent on raining havoc? They don't love humans (except as food) and fight, fight, fight. And plot.

2. Tired of a human heroine and supernatural hero? You'll see none of that here. For once, the guy and gal are equals. Which makes for other troubles to get the romance rolling.

3. Don't like damsels? Neither does Rachel, though she admits it's nice to have someone look after her from time to time.

4. It's not the beginning of an endless series. You can read it, enjoy it, and not worry about future sequels.

5. It's short. Yes, that's a reason to read a book too. It's 217 pages in print. Great for the beach or a stormy night.

6. There is witty banter to be witnessed. With two head-strong MCs who don't take crap from anybody, there's bound to be.

7. There is emotion. Or so I've been told.

8. A new world of paranormal beings awaits. Though you might meet some familiar creatures in the world of Hunters, not all of them are what you may know/think.

9. You might laugh. If I don't draw a smile/chuckle/snort out of you, I'm doing it wrong.

10. The villain is not just your stereotypical bad vampire. Watch as Vlad's legend comes together and brings forth the man he really is (well, man is a relative term). Bad guys can be fair too, right?

11. Going against the grain? It's here. When the entire world wants your head for doing what you believe is right, would you keep doing it?

12. Stuffy protocol, an old system and mass-manipulation. Yup. Watch what happens when the good guys are not really as good as they should be.

13. And finally, I wrote it, and I'm brilliant. you might grow to like Rachel and Daniel and want to see how their journey ends.

Have I convinced you to pick up a copy? No? How about to win a copy? In even more celebration, I'm giving away a PDF copy of Hunters to one lucky commenter. Just leave a comment with your e-mail address, mention that you want it and tell me which of the 13 reasons makes you want to read it most. The winner will be drawn this weekend.

Now, as to the people who won a copy of the book from me during the RAOK week, let me know if you'd like your copy now, in PDF format or wait for the kindle version.

In other news, if you don't win here, tomorrow, Mysti Parker of Unwritten is hosting the 200 000 hits giveaway. I've most generously (please don't take me seriously) donated 3 PDF copies of Hunters for the event, so you may hop on there and grab a copy.

If you'd like to support and up-and-coming/going author, the facebook link is on the right and the goodreads link here. Everyone is welcome to the party.

Okay, I'm done with the shameless plugging. O:)

Book, bookedy, book, book, book OR The completely bunched up post

Hi everybody!

Ignore the title. I wish I could say that I'm high on caffeine, but I don't drink coffee, so there goes my excuse.
I have some stuff to announce. As in LOTS of stuff. And I must shamelessly plug as well.
But, before all that I want to give out a big THANK YOU to all the people who have followed me and who read this blog. I'm sorry I couldn't get my butt in gear and shower you all with free books, but, there's always a next time.

I've been pretty MIA because I've been busy with editing and revising. And now it's time for the shameless plugging.

That's right. Hunters is almost ready to fly into the hyperspace of published material. I have a cover, a blurb and a release date. So, happy people, mark the date in your calendars: July 29th!

Needless to say I'm excited like... I don't know like what. I've just never been so excited (well, for a reason like this, at least).
So, yes ladies and gentlemen, I'm THIS close to being a published author.

Just to show off, here's my awesome cover.

Now, in celebration of this great event, I've set up the facebook fan page (which most of you know and can be seen on the right) and the goodreads page for the book. (here you also have the blurb) I still have to work on my author page and hope to find the time to do it very soon.

I've already started to ask reviewers to have a look at it and... I'm sort of out of promoting ideas right about now. I'm still trying not to choke with excitement.

All of you who won a book on my giveaway - I haven't forgotten. As soon as I get the copy, you will be receiving it. Just let me know if you'd like a kindle version or a PDF. Depending on the format, it might take more or less time.

On July 29th, I'll be putting up a celebratory post. At the end of it, there will be a prize to be had, so if you want the chance to win this book, stop on by and give a comment.

And there you have it! I've shamelessly plugged my stuff. You're all invited to share my joy and have a serving of virtual cookies :)
