One More Day…

 One more day until the official release of BLOOD MAGIC!The book may already be in some stores–these “drop dates” can be a bit flexible.  I just can’t believe it’s here! But the waiting has actually been fun…because of you all! You guys have been a blast! I really hope you all keep hanging around even after the Cyber Launch Party is over.  Which brings me to the next point, tomorrow, February 24th, I draw the Grand Prize!

This is an ENLARGED picture of the necklace:

The actual size is  30 by 46 mm.  You can find out more at Silver Enchantments where I ordered the necklace.  All the comments from the last five weeks and today, will go into the Glittering Purple Hat where the random witch generate will select one winner.

Now, let’s all give a big shout out to our friend, KATE CARLISLE!

Kate’s book HOMICICDE IN HARDCOVER hit #34 the New York Times Times List!

Let’s all raise up our appletinis (no spilling!)  and dance a jig for Kate!

 

 

Question of the Day:  On a scale of one to five appletinis (five being the best), how much does it rock when our friends achieve their dreams like Kate?

    Five ‘tini’s, of course!
    I’ve experienced the road to the ever elusive wish of publication–heck, I’m still trudging up the damn hill evading the boulders rolled down by trolls! It ain’t easy, so kudos to anyone who has succeeded in finding the magic bean!
    And, who knows when their success will rub off on me? ;-)
    It’s all about the KARMA, baby!

    I’m anxiously watching my mailbox in hopes that BLOOD MAGIC arrives today or tomorrow! I’ll also go hit the local B&N and Borders when I’m up that way this week to get pics of it on the shelves!

    As for Kate?!? I’ve been doing Snoopy Happy Dances(tm) all over the place since she announced the news. Five Appletinis with a Star! With FIVE stars! And you know what? Jennifer Lyon’s book is gonna be right up there with HIH!

    Jen, I’m thrilled about BLOOD MAGIC! I’m going to B&N tomorrow. Of course I’ll take my gift card and a thermos of apple martinis.

    5 martinis for friends who achieve their dreams.
    Kudos, Kate! I’d love to read HIH. It has such a cute cover.

    Off to work up a doozy of a spell. The necklace is divine. Plus I’d like to zap you here so you can autograph my book. Hee.

    I’m going to go to Borders today and check!
    And 5 tinis!! Especially for other writers… The more and better they sell, the better is it for all romance writers..
    Go Kate – keep climbing girl!!!!

    Jen, what a shock!! I show up here as usual, looking for hot hunks to get my morning cranked up and instead, find some crazy cackling witch doing a Snoopy Happy Da–whoops, can’t say that. Apparently it’s Silver’s trademark dance! Hey, I want a trademark dance, too. I’m going to think about that and get back to you…

    Where was I? Oh yeah! THANK YOU, SWEETIE!!!

    It’s definitely a TEN on your FIVE appletini scale!!

    I’ll confess, the thing about the NYT list is that it was never even on my radar as a dream. It was way too big, it was asking too much, you know? But wow, dreams you never even dared to dream can come true sometimes, I’m living proof of that. Anyway, I’m so happy, and I hope y’all never give up on your dreams because they will come true if you just believe in yourself. :-)

    P.S., I’m jittery with excitement over BLOOD MAGIC!!!!!

    Margaret, I hate those trolls! I encountered enough of them on my long journey to publication too. We must find the right spell to get rid of the trolls and get you your magic bean!

    I’m all about the KARMA too!

    Silver, I hope BLOOD MAGIC arrives today for you! And if you get pics, I’ll post them!

    I’m as excited as you are about Kate’s book hitting the NYT! She’s worked long and hard, and she’s NICE. Really genuine.

    Thanks so much for saying that about BLOOD MAGIC!! I’m just holding my breath, hoping readers like it.

    Mel K, ROTFL…I’m picturing you zapping me to your of neck of the woods at an inopportune time. Can you please refine that spell to make sure I’m decent? And not in the middle of showering or just rolling out of bed and looking like a troll?

    I read Kate’s book last week and loved it!

    A B&N gift card and a thermous of appletinis–what more could a woman or witch want :-)

    Laura, awesome! Let me know if you see the book! As you know, Axel has a thing for you since you believed in him from the very beginning!

    Kate’s gonna be so drunk from all these appletinis!

    Kate, I know you didn’t expect it and that’s what makes it so FREAKING AWESOME!

    I promise I’ll brew up some more hot guys later this week (I hope!) but today, I’m so excited for you I had to tell the world!

    Hmm, we’re gonna have to work on a trademark dance for you, Kate. Maybe an Irish Coffee Jig? What would Brooklyn do?

    Thanks so much for your support on BLOOD MAGIC!

    LOL. I’ll share the Snoopy Dance. It’s trademarked by Charles Schultz so I always ™ it to be safe! Jen and Kate, you guys are so freaking awesome! As writers and as people! *checks clock* It’s after noon somewhere in the world. Appletinis for all! I’m pourin’.

    Definitly a five. It’s so inspirational to watch friends go for and achieve their dreams. It reminds me of things like how little I really care about the random crap I’m watching on TV and how much more I’d like to be a published author and need to get to work on my novel…

    Rebecca, well said! Kate really is an inspiration! She worked a long time, and every time someone else published or hit lists, she cheered and celebrated. That’s why we’re all just beyond thrilled for her!
