Thanks to everyone who commented last week! I appreciate all your good wishes and I love all the fun photos you took of my book on the shelf. Keep them coming! I feel the need for another contest soon. :-)

Cheers!

More Pics!

Here are three very fun photos sent by Lezlie in Odessa, Texas. She told me she asked for my book at Hasting's. They didn't have it out yet but they had several copies in the back. She told the clerk that it was my first release so the clerk put my book on the New Arrivals shelf!

So check out my neighbors on that New Arrivals shelf. Can you see?

Let's get closer.

Closer.

Hello! That's right. I'm there, in between Charlaine Harris and Stephen King. Hi, neighbors!

Yo, Stephen, high five, dude!

Thanks, Lezlie! This is very cool! :-)

Reminder: I'll be picking at random the winner of the HOMICIDE IN HARDCOVER Book Launch Prize Package tonight and will announce the winner tomorrow!!

Cheers!

Homicide in Hardcover -- the Book Trailer!

Join me today at Romance Novel TV as the Banditas invade the premises with wild stories and witty repartee! There will be prizes!

And my contest here at Kate's Chronicles continues. Leave me a comment between now and February 3 and be eligible to win a lovely Book Launch Prize Package of books, gift cards, chocolates and more!

Tick ... tock ... tick ... tock ... just 5 more days and my book will be on the shelves!! To celebrate the launch of Homicide in Hardcover, I've got a book trailer up at YouTube. Check it out! Watch it again! *g* Tell all your friends. It's fun!

Cheers!

Countdowns and Deadlines ... oh my!

Six days and counting!! Six more days and HOMICIDE IN HARDCOVER will be out in the book stores! If you have a chance to buy it at your local independent mystery book store, that's always good for business. :-) It's also available at all the usual online suspects, too, wherever fabulous books are sold! *g* And I thank you. **End of commercial.**

And don't forget! I'm in the middle of the big countdown to publication and my contest is still going strong! Be sure to leave me a comment and you'll be eligible to win my Launch Party Package of books, gift cards, chocolates and more!

I'm also in the middle of a deadline. My second book in the Bibliophile Mystery series is due any day now. Talk about pressure! But it's a pressure I've wanted for so long, I wouldn't dream of complaining. Well, you might hear a little moan escape now and then, but no whining! When I look at the big picture and think of how many years I worked to get my books published, it's thrilling to have such problems.

One thing that helps is that I have wonderful romance writer friends who post things like ... this! I love my romance writer friends!

So ... are you under pressure? On a deadline? Racing around trying to get things done? Tell me all about it! I can relate.

The Countdown Continues!

Just a reminder that I've got a contest running all week in anticipation of Homicide in Hardcover arriving on bookshelves February 3. That's barely a week away! Leave me a comment and you'll be eligible to win a Launch Party Package of books, $25 Barnes & Noble gift certificate, chocolates, and more!

Okay, today I'm wondering if anyone remembers those questions James Lipton always asks at the end of The Actors' Studio. I really like those questions and always wanted to answer them for myself. Let's try one here today.

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?

I'd like to be a spy. I think I'd make a really good spy. And nobody would ever know I was spying on them -- because I'm invisible.

How about you? What would you like to be?

Cheers!
