Ugh. Sep\u00adtem\u00adber. That means snow is around the corner.<\/p>\nUgh. Sep\u00adtem\u00adber. That means snow is around the corner.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s all I have to say about that.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what\u2019s going on around here:<\/p>\n
Work in Progress News ~<\/span> I\u2019ve been spend\u00ading the week going through Olivi\u00ada\u2019s book Falling Star<\/a>. I\u2019ll be repub\u00adlish\u00ading this one at a low\u00ader price, so I had to go through and make sure there weren\u2019t too many ellipses (uh\u2026yikes. I kin\u00adda went over\u00adboard with those things. Again.)<\/p>\n New Release News ~<\/span> Oh boy. You guys are gonna love this. Cari\u00adna Press has a great pro\u00admo\u00adtion going for Roman\u00adtic Sus\u00adpense books, includ\u00ading Pre\u00adView<\/a> which comes out on Mon\u00adday!<\/strong>\u00c2 <\/a> I\u2019m team\u00ading up with six oth\u00ader Cari\u00adna Press RS<\/span> authors for a scav\u00adenger hunt of sorts. Click the ban\u00adner and you\u2019ll get more infor\u00adma\u00adtion. (Post goes live Mon\u00adday, but you nev\u00ader know what you\u2019ll find when you click that ban\u00adner\u2026) Indus\u00adtry News ~<\/span> This is just a small seg\u00adment of the indus\u00adtry, but it\u2019s big news\u00c2 for me and a ton of oth\u00ader authors and read\u00aders. Ellora\u2019s Cave Pub\u00adlish\u00ading has dropped its prices on all EC<\/span> books at the major dis\u00adtri\u00adb\u00adu\u00adtion sites like Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble. EC<\/span> has long been crit\u00adi\u00adcized for\u00c2 their\u00c2 inflat\u00aded dis\u00adtro prices. For exam\u00adple\u00c2 Olivi\u00ada\u2019s only EC<\/span> book At Ease<\/a>, orig\u00adi\u00adnal\u00adly sold for $4.45 at the EC<\/span> site<\/a>, but $8.45 at Ama\u00adzon<\/a>.\u00c2 Now only $4.48! At Ease is a very short (17K<\/span>) novel\u00adla, so almost $8.50 was way too pricey in my opin\u00adion. So woohoo for EC<\/span>! Wel\u00adcome to the age of the Kin\u00addle and Nook<\/a>! (Like how I put my sub\u00adlim\u00adi\u00adnal pimp in there?)<\/p>\n Real Life News ~<\/span> Kids are back in school, life has qui\u00adet\u00aded down. This com\u00ading week\u00adend I\u2019m tak\u00ading them on a trip to Yel\u00adlow\u00adstone, so maybe I\u2019ll post some pic\u00adtures after that. Oth\u00ader\u00adwise, my \u201creal life\u201d has just cen\u00adtered around guest blog posts for next week and get\u00adting Falling Star ready for repub\u00adbing. I guess that\u2019s pret\u00adty bor\u00ading. Sorry.<\/p>\n Search Term of the week aka How Peo\u00adple Found My Web\u00adsites ~<\/span> Some\u00adone found AlannaCoca.com by search\u00ading for the word \u201chairy\u201d. Wow. I hope my site was on page 768 for that search, but okay. Over at Olivi\u00ada\u2019s Place, I had this one: \u201cbecause i\u2019m worth it\u201d. And I hope my site was on page one. In bold.<\/p>\n Hero Quote ~<\/span> Can\u2019t help it. I\u2019ve got to post some\u00adthing from Pre\u00adView, since it\u2019s the birth\u00adday book.<\/p>\n \u201c<\/span>I know a lot about you. I know now you\u2019ve got me right where you want me. Close enough to prove how much I want you too. \u00c2 I also know you start\u00aded this lit\u00adtle fight just so I\u2019d put my hands on you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u00c2 Favorite Song of the Week ~<\/span> My daugh\u00adter start\u00aded singing this the oth\u00ader day, and it\u2019s been stuck in my head since. Now watch\u00ading the hokey video, I think I\u2019m done with it. What a riot!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00c2 Okay, there\u2019s your blast from the past for the week.<\/p>\n Also, I\u2019m part of the JustRomance.Me blog hop this week\u00adend. Join us HERE<\/span><\/a>, we\u2019re giv\u00ading away plen\u00adty of books, and we\u2019ll be chat\u00adting on Mon\u00adday, so you\u2019ll have a chance to chat with a hand\u00adful of authors, and ask us what\u00adev\u00ader you\u2019d like to know. See you there!<\/p>\n\n![](\"http:\/\/alannacoca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/RS_728x90.jpg\")
