My sweet readers, I love how patient and understanding you are.  

A lot of you have checked in at my Facebook author page and know that my youngest son recently had surgery on both legs.  For those of you who don't know, he was born with spina bifida and requires a great deal of care on a daily basis.  This surgery will hopefully get him to the point where he is able to walk in his walker without crouching, which is a problem with some kids with spina bifida.  

He has an amazing spirit, a fantastic sense of humor and is a huge fan of the Texas Rangers.  He also keeps me very busy when he's not at school.  When he is at school, I am usually trying to catch up on laundry and during this time of year, Christmas preparations.

I have not forgotten about the characters in the books.  Victoria, especially, is my focus lately when I have the time to write.  The novella will not be ready by Christmas Eve.  I would like it to be done by Valentine's Day, which would be appropriate for this story.  Michael will be a part of this book, as will Sarah.  I don't know that I could really completely put Sarah to the side anyway.  Her snarky attitude and fiery spirit still inspire me.

Now for the FUN news!  I will be lowering the prices of The Vampire's Curse and The Vampire's Redemption.  Curse will be priced at $1.49 and Redemption will be priced at $1.99 for a limited time.  

I am also giving away a $50.00 Amazon gift certificate!   Details coming soon!

MAJOR progress on the book today.  There should be no problem getting this done and up for sale by 10-11.  The Facebook Party is going to be awesome!  Please stop by and check it out on 10-12-2012.  There will be lots of things happening and lots of prizes given away!

 
 
The official release date for The Vampire's Release is still October 12th.  I can safely say that this book will REALLY be available on that date.  Enough progress has been made over the past few weeks for me to make that statement with some amount of confidence.  So hang in there, readers!


To pique your interest in the newest book in the Undead in Brown County series, I present to you this very short little teaser.  If I give you anything more than this, it will give away far too much information.  A great deal happens in this book, some of which will answer questions that have been coming up since the first book in the series, The Vampire's Warden.


Here's your teaser, my sweet peeps!




I slid into the front passenger seat and glanced back at Sarah, who was already pulling off her stained sweater.  The undergarment she wore beneath it was nearly as tempting as her bare flesh.  I believe Victoria called it a “bra”.  It seemed woefully inadequate to hide Sarah’s beautiful curves, but I hadn't spent much time perusing ladies’ undergarments since the 1800’s.  What did I know?

When I looked back over at Alex, his gaze was locked on the rectangular mirror attached to the glass in front of him.  Sarah wasn’t aware of his ogling, but I certainly was.  I wanted to shake him until his eyes rolled out of his skull.

The Facebook Book Bash went off without a hitch!  I have to say that I have never seen so many pictures of hot men on one Facebook page before.  The pic to the left is just one wonderful example of what readers had to offer.

Here's the update on the release date for Book 4, The Vampire's Release.

On September 13th, 2012 I will be uploading the digital version of the newest book in the series to Amazon, B&N and Smashwords.  Hopefully there won't be too much of a delay in getting the paperback ready as well, but I can't make any promises.  It usually takes me a good week or two to get that part done correctly.

If you missed the first Book Bash, don't worry!  You will have a chance to join the second one on Sept. 14th.  The plan is to get the digital version ready and up for sale on the morning of 9-14 to coincide with the Release Party.

If you are a fan of Pinterest (or an addict, like me) you can check out my Pinterest boards which include a board entitled "Undead in Brown County Visuals".  These are the kind of images that inspired me to write this series, as well as a healthy dose of CW on Thursday nights.

So we're not far off from Book Four, my peeps.  Hang in there.  Love you guys!

Q. How many books do you read in a week? And in what format do you read them, or listen to them?


SJ's Answer:  I read about three full-length books per week on my B&N Nook.  Right now, I'm reading a book about the War of the Roses called The Virgin Widow.  I just finished reading The Rightful Queen by Anne Easter Smith.
