A Darkness Strange and Lovely Updates & Giveaways!!
This will be brief and to the point because I have a million things going on. 🙂 That said, I promise a Real Post with Real Content on Monday (it’ll be over on Pub Crawl).
Update #1: The blog tour is in full swing! There is a HUGE AND EPIC giveaway going on for 5 hardcovers of A Darkness Strange and Lovely + 5 paperbacks of Something Strange and Deadly + 5 e-novellas of A Dawn Most Wicked.
Here are the various stops we’ve had so far:

- 7/16/2013 – Magical Urban Fantasy Reads – Guest Post on my 5 Favorite Heroines & Heroes

There are more to come next week, so stay tuned! Oh, and don’t forget to enter the giveaway! 😉
Update #2: I’m over on YA Book Reads, where two wonderful readers are doing a A Darkness Strange and Lovely Release Day Countdown Extravaganza. There is, yet again, an EPIC GIVEAWAY for copies Something Strange and Deadly + A Darkness Strange and Lovely + signed swag! Enter the giveaway here, and then read a review of A Dawn Most Wicked and a review of Something Strange and Deadly. Oh! And don’t miss part 1 of an interview with ME!
Update #3: Because I guess there just aren’t enough giveaways on the internet yet ;), you can ALSO win a signed paperback of Something Strange and Dealdy and a signed hardcover or A Darkness Strange and Lovely over on Steampunk Coffee Time Romance! They’ve also got some fun games to go along with the giveaway, so be sure to stop by!
Update #4: Pitch Dark is sharing my top 5 Party Tips for Your Next 1876 Parisian Ball!
The most important tip? Practice your Grecian Bend, of course! You don’t want to offend the men by standing up too straight…;)
But seriously, a ball or party of any kind during 1876 was no minor matter. All the rules and etiquette and miserable corsets. I’m sure young ladies (and young men) had fun at them, but I honestly cannot comprehend quite HOW.
Though, I do suppose Eleanor manages to enjoy her first ball in A Darkness Strange and Lovely…
TEASER ALERT THERE! Oops…but that leads me to…
Update #5: You can read the first 85 pages of A Darkness Strange and Lovely over on Pitch Dark or just skim through it below! Quite a lot happens in those first 85 pages–I mean, goodness, you’ll have read almost a quarter of the book! BEFORE IT EVEN RELEASES.
A Darkness Strange and Lovely by EpicReads
That’s pretty cool if you ask me. 😉
Update #6: This is the last update–I promise. Basically, you’re cordially invited to a Twitter Launch Party on Monday. I don’t know the time, but I’ll blast those details as soon as I know them. THERE’LL BE MORE GIVEAWAYS.
In case you can’t tell, I want to give  my books to as many people as possible. That’s why I write, isn’t it? To share!
Then, not only will there be more stuff to win on Monday, but today will feature some sneaky giveaways on Twitter–for ARCs of A Darkness Strange and Lovely. SO KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED!!!
And now I will leave you all alone to enjoy your Friday…
ONLY 3 DAYS AND 14 HOURS UNTIL BOOK 2 LAUNCH!!!!

Oh wow, it’s very different for book 2–a good different. Things are A LOT less stressful this time around. I know what to expect, I have a lovely group over very supportive readers (<3), and I'm just excited that it will finally be available to those readers!

Had to take a little break from getting stuff ready for my nephew’s birthday party tomorrow (his birthday is actually today), and what fun stuff to come and read from you! I can’t believe there’s only 3 more days until A DARKNESS STRANGE AND LOVELY comes out! I was so excited for the first book when it came out, and there’s just something even more exciting about this one. I’m very ecstatic for you, Susan, and wish you so much deserved success with your second book release. I’ll be on the lookout for your Twitter party on Monday (yay, Twitter parties!) 😉
