Quick check-in…

Tomorrow, I’ll have a new author interview up for you. This time,  you’ll get to learn more about the very talented Anya Bast and have a chance to win her latest release, WITCH HEART.  So don’t miss that post!

And, on a completely unrelated topic, am I the only one looking forward to seeing MY BLOODY VALENTINE, 3D?  I mean, come on…3D!!! And the lead actor in the  show?  Jensen Ackles. Doesn’t get any better than that!  Though I am concerned this will be one of those movies that gives me nightmares. What? Why am I concerned?  Because of this fun little warning I found on The Movie Insider:

” graphic brutal horror violence and grisly images throughout, some strong sexuality, graphic nudity and language.”

Strong sexuality doesn’t bother me. Neither does the graphic nudity or the language. But the “brutal horror violence”–hmmm.  So is the brutal horror violence more than your average flick since it is 3D? Or am I just about to enter a serious gore fest?  I do prefer non gore scares but I really want to see this…

And what’s on your movie viewing agenda?

A writer’s second job

Posted in Romance on January 8th, 2009 by Cynthia Eden

I didn’t write yesterday. (Gah! I hate admitting this!)  I had to finish up some promo work for IMMORTAL DANGER.  Yesterday, in her interview, Elisabeth talked about how promo work can be such a big part of a writer’s life. So very true.

With each book that I release, I experiment a bit with my promotional methods. Different ads, different mailings, etc. This time my new item is my poster. I’ll be sending IMMORTAL DANGER posters to the 700 Bookstores that Care (through RT).  For my last release, I shipped out bookmarks to these stores. So, yep, this is my experiment this time.

Since I”m also planning to attend the big RT convention in Apri, I’ll be creating other promo items–T-shirts, buttons…maybe a few surprises for the event.  I’ll give some of those items away here soon. So keep watching! The catch phrases that kept coming up as I think about my t-shirts and buttons?  “Dragons are hot.” Or… “Vampires love dragons.” (With a fun fang, heart, and dragon tail design.)

Michelle had an interesting post over at Magical Musings yesterday.  She was talking about out-of-the-box marketing.  Her post was really timely for me. (Thanks, Michelle!)

So I’m wondering…what is the best book promo item that you’ve ever seen?
