October Schedule of Events

October is building into an wickedly exciting month. As I've said before, there's my birthday and the release of THE COLLECTIVE both October 22nd. But what else is going on?

October 17th starts the Blog Tour de Force: Masquerade. 12 authors, 12 blogs, 12 books, and 6 days of mystery. One of the mystery authors will be posting here on my blog. It's up to you to guess which one. I'll be giving away advance copies of THE COLLECTIVE, background wallpapers based on the novel, and if you are really naughty I might send you a FREE copy of CybrGrrl. Don't miss it!

While my blog is taken over by an unnamed author, I'll be interviewed by Amilia James on her blog Trashy Treasures. And at some point during the week I will be the mystery poster on one of the other blogs in the Masquerade Tour. So come find me, if you can.

October 20th while you are out searching blogs and trying to unmask authors in the Masquerade stop by Trashy Treasures again for my Halloween short story Virtual Touch. It is sure to get you in the mood for a little social networking.

October 21st The day before release of THE COLLECTIVE you can hear me live on Shark Radio and The Eclectic Artist's Cave with Joann Buchanan. We'll be talking about the book and who knows what else. I tend to ramble.

October 22nd Duh, my Birthday, right? I turn 50 and THE COLLECTIVE releases on the sweet new family of Kindles. But you don't need a Kindle to read eBooks. It will also be available on Nook, and every other eReader you can imagine. I read Kindle titles on my cell phone with the nice little FREE Kindle app. So go buy my book, and enjoy.

October 24th I'll be guest posting on Rachel in the OC. Yes, we're gonna talk about some #mancode, baby. After 50 years I've got this whole #chickspeak thing figured out. Come by and see what I have to say on the Queen of Snark's page.

October 25th Rachel will get me back by posting secrets about me on her twitter stream under the hashtag #TellItTuesday. I will also be back on Shark Radio, but this time with the lovely Tami Snow hosting Lyrical Lip Service Live. We're going to talk conspiracy, mind control, and maybe BDSM--who knows. Tune in and listen.

October 26th I'll be guest posting on Eden Baylee's blog talking about the psychology behind THE COLLECTIVE and what was in my mind when I wrote it. Eden interviewed me awhile back and I'm sure there'll be a link to that as well. There will also be all kinds of links here on my blog to book-bloggers who are reviewing my book the week after release.

November 2nd Since it wouldn't all fit into one month, I'll be guest posting on Carrie Ann Ryan's blog to end up the month of Something Wicked.

But that's just the highlights of the scheduled activities. There will something going on here, on twitter, and across the social network every day as the month. So stay connected.
