The Danger Women Writing blog party has started! Lisa Renee Jones is kicking things off with a book and gift certificate giveaway. Head over to comment!

I’ve had a few folks ask me how they can read my new ebook story, BOUND BY BLOOD, without a Kindle, Nook, Sony, or other e-Reader. If you don’t have an e-Reader, no worries! You can still download the book and read it on your computer.  There are lots of free programs that you can get such as “Kindle For the PC” or “Nook for PC”. When you download these free programs, you can easily view ebooks.

And if you haven’t checked out the ebooks that are out there, you should! In addition to my .99 BOUND BY BLOOD, there are tons of incredible deals waiting for you. You can get free books or special books or ebook only books.

Right now (so as of 4/13), you can get these books for free on the Kindle:

Leslie Kelly’s SLOW HANDS (Harlequin Blaze)

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes (Yes, I am a chocolate chip addict!)

RaeAnne Thayne’s DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT (Silhouette Special Edition)

Christine Warren’s HEART OF THE SEA

So go forth. Read. Have fun! I’m sure about to add more books to my TBR pile!

Today I’m blogging at Were Vamps Romance–talking about why I love the old Little Red Riding Hood story and giving away a Cynthia Eden book to a commenter (this book choice does include an ARC of NEVER CRY WOLF).  Anytime I write a shifter story, I always think of Little Red Riding Hood.  I always thought the wolf in that story was, well, *more* than just a wolf.

There is a big event coming over at the Danger: Women Writing site.  By “big” event, I mean we’re going to be giving away a ton of awesome prizes, including an eReader.  We’ve got some great guests lined up to join our party, too. Lots of editors & agents.  You don’t want to miss out on this fun!

My e-book story, BOUND BY BLOOD, is now available on the Kindle!  It’s properly formatted, contains a table of contents, an excerpt from NEVER CRY WOLF, and an excerpt from KILLER SECRETS by Katie Reus.  The BOUND BY BLOOD novella itself contains 21,000 words and is priced for a thrifty .99.

I’ve learned so much through this self-publishing adventure (and I’m still learning!).  BOUND BY BLOOD is currently available on Smashwords and it’s available at B&N, too.  I’ll be adding to more sites over the weekend.

I wanted to write this story because I’ve always wondered…do vamps and werewolves really have to be enemies?  What would happen if they were mates, instead?

BOUND BY BLOOD:

It’s an Immortal War…

Vampires and werewolves have been blood enemies for centuries, but now a new threat is rising…demons are escaping from hell and those demons are intent on wiping out both the vamps and the werewolves.

When you have no one to trust…

In order to stop the demons, pureblood vampire princess Morgan LaBeaux agrees to the treaty offered by werewolf alpha Jace Vaughn. She’ll mate with him, share her blood with him…and in return, the wolves will aid the vampires in this battle.

The enemy of my enemy is my husband…

But Morgan doesn’t realize just how dangerous the wolves can truly be. Jace has been waiting years to claim her. He’s set a trap for his princess, and now that he has her, Jace doesn’t plan to let her go.  He’ll send the demons back to hell, and he’ll keep his vampiress—forever.

Because the blood binds all.

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!!!

Update:  BOUND BY BLOOD is now available for the Kindle–properly formatted, with some fun bonus features.  As of 4/9/11, the updated copy of BOUND BY BLOOD is in the Amazon system and ready for download.

I’m learning a lot through this e-book publishing process.   🙂 BOUND BY BLOOD is now available on Smashwords & on the Nook.  The indent  formatting was stripped out of the Kindle version (see, said I was learning a lot!), so I am re-uploading that file.  Once the correct file is available on Kindle (we actually snazzed it up and added extra features), I will let you know with an official release notification. But, if you are one of the people who already bought the story from Amazon  on Wednesday, April 6 or Thursday, April 7  (the book isn’t listed as being “Live” but I’ve received reports of sales), then email me at cynthia@cynthiaeden.com, and I will be sure to give you the correct version (with indentions).

I’m logging all of my work as I go for this publication. I want to be able to share what I’ve learned with other writers–good tips and the pitfalls to avoid.  I think e-publishing is such an amazing development for writers and readers.  I know I can’t seem to go anywhere without my Kindle these days! What was carpool like before I had it?
