New Page for Faerie and Dragon Book Fans

Awesomeness by Tony DeTerlizzi for The Spiderwick
Chronicles by Holly Black.

While balancing blog and vlog work loads, I recently began to listen to audio books.  While painting a boat and listening to dragons take the harbor, I thought about making a dragon.  Later, I went off to bed and read about faeries and princes before falling asleep.  A sleep that would entangle dragon magic with the darkest parts of the faerie forest.  After escaping and using a machete like a sword to return to my bed, I awoke determined to give myself more time for adventures during daylight hours.  First, I crafted a Dark Forest Faery Prince, along with my book review, and then I crossed out faery wings for July's vlog post and rewrote Dragon Wings as the last words for another YA book review about the audio book were typed.

Holy Heck it Must be Halloween?!

So, I screwed up!! At midnight, last night, I thought about checking on my newest book promotion: the FREE final book in my cyber-punk, vampire trilogy, but my bed was calling me.  After late morning Starbucks and a scone, I checked my book's Amazon page and OMG!!! No promo!! No FREE book! I had set Book 2 to FREE promo, instead?!! Book 2 had been free in the summer months - so, I had already given out 82 free e-books on that one.  Omigod-ghod-gosh!

Two hours later, I have this promo 'thing' all straightened out, on the deal.  So, if you'd like a FREE TRILOGY - be quick. Today, the Book 2 Free Promo will end (thank fright!), and then, October 28th - 31st, Book 3 will be on free promo (still 4 days, but moved down one number).  Lastly, Book 1 which was scheduled for free promo from Halloween Night to November 3rd remains on as mentioned. All calmed down, there it was like the good book 1 that it is, patiently set upon the Bookshelf, all this time, awaiting its debut as part of a trilogy - not alone like it once was, but a leader of its kind.  So love it, thank it - read it for Bub's sakes - on Halloween Night, Day of the Dead, or anytime the wind brushes limbs against the window panes moving shadows in the corners of your room while you duck under covers, safe, warm, and reading The Quill Pen Killer rather than meeting your vampire out in the night.  Unless its Halloween, and it IS the treat I'm giving at the door.

Note to self: put down the Starbucks and check on my promos at midnight next time.

The Nebulizer Potion and the Electric Compass

15 Facts about The Vampire DeAngeliuson trilogy.

OBA Stress and a Prequel

I am, maybe, the dumbest entrant to the Oregon Book Awards.  I knew I was going to enter this year, long ago, yet I am battling the admission information and requirements to the very last.  Ho hum, I'm so dumb - is a little song I wrote this week.  So, I was thrilled when I learned about Kindle pre-orders.  About to finish the third book in my vampire trilogy.  I can upload without worries that there won't be a link to go with my effort like Painting the Castle for the cover - The Nebulizer Potion and the Electric Compass.

Another reason to smile: I now have books for sale at Smashwords.com.  Something I have thought about getting done for a while, now.  So, far, I have The Quill Pen Killer and The Faerie Ring Dance uploaded.  I like the site and all it offers me, as an author.  Please feel free to comment about your experience as a reader, reader-author, too.  Smashwords also offers pre-orders, so when all the hectic OBA duties are done, I will be able to upload more series books as the site distributes to Nook and popular book sellers - even libraries.

Wondering what my entry is going to be?  See its new Facebook page for information.  Page likes always appreciated.

A Cover Updates and an Introduction Videos Promote This Author's Middle Reader, Cyber-Punk, Vampire Book Series

Below is the cover illustration for The Quill Pen Killer, the first children's chapter novel I finished.  I had started The Faerie Ring Dance years ago, when my children were in their cribs.  I didn't finish that tale based on Irish Faerie legend until after The Quill Pen Killer, however.  This 11x17 image lives on the wall at my house.  I recently pulled it off the wall to update the e-book cover, shown here:


The DeAngeliuson Vampire Family Anthology book trailer - a sneak peek at all three e-books with a virtual family tree and images that are supposed to bring to mind a haunted mansion's hall of portraits which introduce characters to be found in the mysteries solved in the seperate books.

"Raven hurries home wondering if he'll stay friends with his childhood pal, Jessica, or if 'vampire'  is just 
too big of an obstacle."

These books are fun, humorous, and filled with mysteries which our heroine, Jessica, must solve. She doesn't much want to be involved in most of the mysteries, or even vampire life for that matter. She's bookish and smart, and simply gets to the matter of 'who did what' quicker than most, and for reasons like these, she ends up 'saving the day' (an oxymoron for an of-the-blood member of things that go bump in the night).
