Hello, Darklings!
First of all, welcome to all the new people joining us here in the Lair of Doom! You’ll find lots of ways to get up to no good here, which is why you’re here, right? This way for the ten cent tour!
Bar to the right, tip the bartender. (He can be cranky.) Here you’ll find exclusive short stories, opportunities for live chats and tea, a Discord server for shenanigans, and pen pal letters for those interested in more than general updatery.
Here on the website you’ll find all kinds of eviltry, such as knitting patterns I’ve designed, rants of all sizes and descriptions, more about me and what I’ve written prior to your arrival at the Lair, and other random stuff and things you might find interesting (such as my medical writing guide pictured below).
As the subject line of this post says, today is my birthday, but you all are the ones getting the gifts! I mentioned last time that I joined an author’s group called Bookfunnel that connects authors with readers, and that I am participating in a couple promotional events for the holiday season. The previous one is still going on until December 15, so if you haven’t checked out the Paranormal/Fantasy Romance Freebies available there, you still have time.
The next promo I’m in (offering All Wounds, which you likely already have, but if you have people in your life you think might enjoy it, they can snag a digital copy there) started on the 1st and overlaps with the one above, but runs through the end of the month (END OF THE YEAR HOLY CRAP I AM NOT READY FOR 2024!). This one is not just paranormal books, but sci-fi and urban fantasy as well. There are nearly FIFTY participants in this promotion, with some offering more than one book, so there’s something for everyone. Happy birthday to me! (Presents for you!)
As I mentioned last time, kitten fostering and other things pushed the release of The Silverthorn Protocol back a month, so the new release date is in a couple weeks. It’s planned for December 19, 2023, just in time for Sithmas! For the Darklings just joining us, Silverthorn is my first foray into sci-fi, so if that kind of thing is your jam, watch this space (see what I did there?). I’m promoting it as “Underworld meets Gray’s Anatomy. In space.” Because space vampires and werewolves. Because of course there are. This is me we’re talking about.
Long-time readers will know how much I love Sithmas, and I will of course have something for all the naughty people on Darth Santa’s list for the holiday.
That’s all for now!
Until next time,
Dina
