Authorpalooza

On Tuesday, Sept. 21, I’ll be participating in my first “-palooza” event.
     Barnes & Noble in the Town Square Mall, Vestal, N.Y., is hosting a local authors event called “Authorpalooza” that evening at 6:30. About 15 authors will be sitting at café tables around the bookstore selling and signing their books. (Books are bought at B&N checkout.) It should be a fun event with special drawings for guests.
     I think my new novel, 317, will be published by then. I’ll let you know.

Welcome, Powell’s!

Both of my novels are now being carried by Powell’s Books. You can buy The Cyber Miracles here,” and A Sudden Gift of Fate here.

Another web store adds my books

     You can now order my books direct from Barnes & Noble’s web site. Go here for The Cyber Miracles, and  here for its sequel, A Sudden Gift of Fate.
     Right now, both are selling for $18 there, that’s $2 off the list price!

Sequel entered into Amazon contest

I entered A SUDDEN GIFT OF FATE into the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest today.

We had to submit a pitch, excerpt (from the first 5,000 words) and the complete manuscript.

The first round cut will come after reading the pitch. Say some prayers, light a few candles or keep your fingers crossed. Better yet, do all of the above!

Should I win, the book will be picked up by Penguin USA. Now THAT would be a sudden gift of fate…

What’s new

• The latest review of The Cyber Miracles has been posted to my Reviews pages.
• Very soon you will be able to order my book from all the chain, as well as indie, bookstores across the country. Watch here for an update.
• Many people who are new to my work are buying both books at once. Thanks for your support!
• NEEDED: input from my readers. Am thinking of writing one more book in what I’m dubbing the “Maeve Kenny Series.” Would you be interested? Send an e-mail here.
