eFestival of Words: A reminder, and a sale!

I wanted to remind everyone that the 2015 eFestival of Words, the annual online convention for readers and writers, is under way! I'll be involved in two events on Sunday. First, I'll be taking part in an Author Q&A at 8:30 AM Pacific / 11:30 AM Eastern / 5:30 PM CET! Come on by, and be prepared to ask questions! If you don't, I'll have to be the one asking myself what kind of tree I would be if I were a tree!

And later on Sunday, at 11:00 AM Pacific / 2:00 PM Eastern / 8:00 PM CET, you can attend the "Heroes vs. Villains" panel! Three heroes and three villains from the wild world of literature, answering questions "Family Feud" style, and on the side of the heroes will be Michiko the Monkey Queen herself! The villains will include a murderous demon, a bloodthirsty sasquatch, and a cruel teenage magician, so Michiko will be ready with all the snark they can handle!

There'll be more panels, Q&A sessions, and workshops all weekend, and there's an extra incentive to stop by: All attendees (aside from staff and special guests) will be entered into a drawing to win a Kindle Fire HD 6 6", and you get an extra entry for every Q&A session you enter!

And as a thank-you to attendees and staff at the eFestival, there's a surprise sale this weekend! If you still haven't read the first Monkey Queen book, Of Introductions And Abductions, it's just 99 cents US through Sunday, exclusively at Amazon! Grab it now!

The Hunt Is On

Last month, we told you about the debut novel by Shei Darksbane with Darksbane Books, Awakened. Well, she's just released the second book in the series...Hunted. Dakota Shepherd's adventures continue in this gripping urban fantasy, when a mysterious threat stalks her and those closest to her. Grab Hunted here! And if you haven't read Awakened, it's just 99 cents US for a very limited time! Go! Read!

eFestival of Words!

The 2015 eFestival of Words, the annual online convention for readers and writers, is this weekend! The schedule has been informally announced, and I'll be involved in two events on Sunday the 16th.

First, my Author Q&A has been scheduled for 8:30 AM Pacific / 11:30 AM Eastern / 5:30 PM CET! Come on by and ask me pretty much anything! If you're really nice, I may drop some hints about the fifth Monkey Queen book!

And later on Sunday, at 11:00 AM Pacific / 2:00 PM Eastern / 8:00 PM CET, you can attend the "Heroes vs. Villains" panel! Three heroes and three villains from the wild world of literature, answering questions "Family Feud" style, and on the side of the heroes will be Michiko the Monkey Queen herself! She promises to be thoroughly caffeinated and ready to answer questions, be cute, and take everything as unseriously as possible! (Is that even a word?)

There'll be more panels, Q&A sessions, and workshops all weekend, and there's an extra incentive to stop by: All attendees (aside from staff and special guests) will be entered into a drawing to win a Kindle Fire HD 6 6", and you get an extra entry for every Q&A session you enter!

Sunday catchup time! First, we've been forgetting to mention this, but this coming weekend, August 14-16, is the annual eFestival of Worlds, an online book fair and convention! We're still waiting on word about a planned Q&A session, but on Sunday at 11:00 AM Pacific / 2:00 PM Eastern / 8:00 PM CET, you can attend the "Heroes vs. Villains" panel. Three heroes and three villains, answering questions "Family Feud" style, and Michiko will be there, dazzling the other heroes with her brilliance and baffling the villains with her cuteness and snark! Get more info here. More after the cut!

We've been promoting Awakened, the first book in the Auralight Codex series, written by Shei Darksbane with Darksbane Books. The release date for the second book, Hunted, has been announced, and it's this coming Friday, March 14! We'll update you when the book is actually released, but you can find out more about the series at the Darksbane Books web site or at Shei's Amazon author page.

The Doubleclicks are about to release their new CD! President Snakes will be available to buy and download this Tuesday, August 11! Get more info at their web site.

The fourth chapter of Melissa Pagluica's enchanting webcomic Above The Clouds has just started! You can jump in with the current page or read the story from the beginning at the web site.

And finally, I am sweetly and politely persuaded to add one more figure to my Disney Infinity want list:
