All right! I put the number of comments into a random number generator and we have a winner for a signed copy of Chasing Blue.

The winner is…Miss Erin! Erin, I’m sending you an e-mail right now. 🙂

Thanks so much to everyone who entered!

Also, if you’d like a signed postcard, take a pic of yourself with Take the Reins or Chasing Blue and e-mail it to me. I’ll post your pic and send you a pretty personalized Canterwood Crest postcard.

Oh! And the sweetest girl e-mailed me a Canterwood Crest Power Point that she made. It’s the COOLEST thing. I asked her if I could share it, so we’ll see what she says. *If* I can figure out how to post the slide show. Hmm…

Chasing Blue is out early! :)

Well, it appears that Barnes & Noble is the first to release CHASING BLUE. Yep! I haven’t actually seen it Out There, but their site says it’s shipping.

Amazon is also in stock! That means I’ll resume my book stalking ways. I’d just stopped doing that, too. 🙂

Yaaay! As always, thanks to AA, EK and S&S. ❤

About the book:

Home (Bitter) Sweet Home

Now that Sasha Silver and her horse, Charm, have proven that they’re worthy competitors for the Canterwood Crest equestrian team, Sasha’s psyched to get back to school…until self-proclaimed It girl, queen bee, and owner of the I’m-so-way-better-than-you-are attitude, Heather Fox, is assigned as Sasha’s riding partner.

Not. Good.

And when Heather starts spending a little too much QT with Sasha’s almost-boyfriend, Jacob, their partnership is put to the ultimate test.

All right! I just got my author copies of CHASING BLUE! Guess what? I’m giving away a signed copy. Yay! The book officially comes out on March 24.

To enter, leave a comment here or on my post on LiveJournal. You have until Saturday at midnight to enter. If you want an extra entry, blog about the contest and then post the link in your comments.

(I’ll mail only to US addresses only, sorry!)

Good luck! 🙂

Seriously? Chasing Blue is a month away?!

Chasing Blue (Canterwood Crest #2) comes out in a month. One. Month. And if I learned anything from Take the Reins’ release, it means that CB could start popping up in stores in 3 weeks or so. Eeek. I’m excited to see them side by side on shelves. That just seems cool.

My first signing is on Saturday and I’m hopelessly failing at not freaking out. I intend to vlog before, during and after the signing, so you’ll get the full “OMG! I’m sooo nervous!” effect in the early minutes of the vlog. Lucky you! 😀

Also, I wanted to give a quick shout out to Tallahassee schools. You all have been so receptive and thanks for asking me to come visit. My March calendar is filling fast and I so appreciate it! Special thanks to Bill Bothwell for coordinating every visit.

Chasing Blue ARC pics

As promised…ARC pics of CHASING BLUE! On the front, we’ve got Sasha Silver and her rival Heather Fox. Julia Myer, Heather’s BFF, is on the back. There’s also a tiny pic of Heather on the spine. (Yes, I had the pic of the back loaded and then I took it off. It kinda gives away a bit of the plot of TAKE THE REINS.)

Yay! I was such a dork about this ARC. I held it on my lap for most of the trip home and have it by my laptop so I can see it today. Soon, it will be sent Out There for someone else to read. Eeep.

What do you guys think?

I worked through Thanksgiving, and man, did it feel good! I got a lot done on BEHIND THE BIT and it’s looking pretty! 🙂

I think I blogged before (or maybe I Facebooked it) about how my room had become a post office with Canterwood Crest mail. Well, I couldn’t take the clutter, so I moved it out to the table.

This is what it looks like:

(The newest postcard!)

That’s minus a stack of envelopes that went out to indies that requested signed TAKE THE REINS postcards and offered to put them out in Jan. Thanks, guys! I really appreciate your interest. A few of the store owners said, “Oh, btw, we saw your book in the S&S catalog” or “I’m excited to recommend it.” One Kentucky bookstore owner even told me she was sure my book would do well in their state. You know, cause of the giant horse-loving population. That’s supercool!

Now, I have an excuse to buy the rainbow pack of Sharpies that I’ve been eyeing but previously had no use for. They’re perfect for postcard signing!

❤


The postcards go fast. Really fast. 500 TTR postcards–spoken for and mostly gone. Less than 10 are left. 500 Chasing Blue postcards–already being sorted for stores/groups/stables/libraries, etc. 500 dual TTR/CB postcards–just arrived today. (If you own a bookstore/stable/whatever else and you’d like signed postcards, e-mail me.)

Yep, the TAKE THE REINS countdown is, well, going down! Less than 8 weeks. OMG. Bring it on! I am ready! My PR plan is begging to go into fullout action mode. I’m set to be a PR Ninja. 🙂
