Pottermania

Alright, I’ll come clean. I’ve succumbed to Pottermania too. (Hanging my head…just a little though.) No, seriously. I can’t wait to see the Half-Blood Prince tomorrow night! It looks amazing! Plus, I have to admit I’m little curious to see how my husband will react to the ending. He hasn’t read any of the books, so he has no idea of what’s coming at the end of this one. Wow, he’s in for a surprise.

The first review of The King’s Daughters

John Ottinger over at Grasping for the Wind just reviewed The King’s Daughters. And although he preferred The Princes, he still enjoyed the sequel and recommends it. Read all the details here.

SF Creatives

Lynda Williams and I will be hosting another SF Creatives meeting tonight, Thursday, July 9, at Books and Company in Prince George, B.C. I invite readers and writers to drop in and share their favourite books with us. Each person gets a turn and takes part in discussion about other people's choices. There will be readings from Lynda’s new book, Far Arena, and mine too, of course. Informal, friendly and fun, with a focus on science fiction and fantasy, we start at 7 pm.

Giveaway Contest

Reviewer Tia Nevitt is running a giveaway contest for copies of THE KING’S DAUGHTERS over at Fantasy Debut. The contest ends next Monday, so hurry up folks! :D

Copies have arrived

These copies arrived two days ago and have stayed together only long enough to take this picture. Already half of them have been shipped to reviewers. And more should leave next week. I’m feeling very lucky right now that all those people want to read my book. Seriously. My cheeks hurt from grinning so much.

You won’t believe it, but it cost me more ($10.23) to send a parcel across Canada via ground than to send an identical parcel to the US ($6.70) through Air Mail. Hmmm, something’s wrong here! :/

Canada Day

PARTY!
