Shifting into High Gear: Interviews, Contests, Blog Tours and So Much More!
This is the month of my debut novel’s release and we’re celebrating in a bunch of different ways...
1.) Today marks the beginning of my “Start Your Day with Serial” blog tour. Over at fellow debut novelist, Class of 2k10 member and all-around-great-gal Denise Jaden’s blog I’m her Teen Author Tuesday interview. Stop in and say hi!
Leave a comment to be entered into a BIG contest I’m running this month (one of several). There you’ll also find a link to 13 to Life’s Prologue, Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. During the course of the Start Your Day with Serial tour you’ll be able to hop from blog to blog, find out what people asked me (and how I answered) and get to read a different section of the first novel in my 13 to Life trilogy. By the time the tour is over several someones will have won some spiffy prizes and everyone will have gotten to read most of the first 3 chapters (and prologue) in order—FOR FREE!
2.) Later today (or early tomorrow morning, depending on storms messing with our satellite reception) www.13toLifeSeries.com goes live (as more than a lame link to my author page). You’ll get to explore parts of Jess’s hometown of Junction and watch as the site grows and deepens each week.
But wait, there’s more...
3.) Tomorrow my Shifting into High Gear event starts with an interview of author Jordan Deen. Jordan writes werewolves and was kind enough to answer my questions. Shifting into High Gear is a month long celebration of transformation, shapeshifters and (obviously) werewolves. You’ll see things happening on Twitter and various websites because of it and you’ll be able to read about great authors like Jordan Deen (The Crescent), Kitty Keswick (Freaksville), Judith Graves (Under My Skin), Leah Cypess (Mistwood), Karen Kincy (Other) and Sarwat Chadda (Devil's Kiss and Dark Goddess). And from the 22nd to the 29th there will be a HUGE giveaway here for anyone who is into that sorta stuff.
But I’m not done yet...
4.) Starting June 9th I’ll be giving away ARCs and books here to commenters. Things kick off with two cool ARCs—stop by to see how you get a chance at getting the goods.
And that’s just the start...
5.) Starting June 14th I’ll be giving away “Blue Books” on my 13 to Life Facebook Fan page. If it has a blue cover or an element of blue on its cover and I’ve got it—it’s headed out the door to a lucky winner.
6.) Then on June 15th I’ll start giving away a book a day on Twitter. Yes. #abookaday
7.) June 22nd 13 to Life hits stores nationwide, my head explodes and I start doing in-person book signings.
Everything wraps up July 2nd when I go comatose—nah—just into an early hibernation. So. Serial Tour, contests galore and Shannon collapses with a snore. ;-)
June’s going to be transformative! A good month for werewolves and their shapeshifting pals!
Hope you’re a big part of the fun!
