I have literally spent the last four hours working on promo — filling out interviews, giving feedback on other people’s posts for #SexySnippets, checking numbers, tweaking tag lines, and prepping ads. Even Ramón came over, kissed my head, and said, “This writing dodge doesn’t really give you a day off, does it?” When the late Sir Pterry Pratchett told me that half of every pro writer’s day is full of nothing but paperwork, I had a hard time believing it. Now I see just how right he was.

Still better than my old job, though, so I’ve got that going for me.

Also, four days after release I finally have the perfect tag line for Palace of Scoundrels: “Kidnapping, poison, and sex–oh, my!” Yeah, well, it made me giggle. And speaking of Palace, I’m running a little contest on Amazon and giving away ten copies of the book for free — no purchase necessary, all you have to do is follow me on Amazon to enter. To enter, head here — https://giveaway.amazon.com/p/08ecb4be57cf556c — and best of luck!
