Long weekend, here I come!

One more day until the party train takes me up to Seattle for GRNW! I’m looking forward to seeing friends and making new ones. It’ll be my first IRL event as an author, so that means I’ll have a lot of new folks to meet!

I won’t have a table at the book fair, but will be walking around with a bag full of giveaways… swag and books and some surprises.

 

Today, I’m visiting the very cool Grace R. Duncan at her blog, talking about photography and research. And, of course, there are birds involved!

Stop by Grace’s: http://www.grace-duncan.com/guest-author-charley-descoteaux-2/

Next week my tour for Nesting Habits will wrap up on Wednesday at Guys Like Romance, Too! Hope to see you there!

Where am I today?

NestingHabitsofStrangeBirds[The]_headerbannerPhysically, I’m probably at work, but I’m also visiting Charlie Cochet’s Purple Rose Tea House! I’m sharing an excerpt of The Nesting Habits of Strange Birds, and giving away an ebook from my backlist (because this gives me the chance to say “from my backlist” :)).

Comment here for an chance to win–I’ll choose the winner before I leave for GRNW on Friday morning!

And since I’m in a very shary mood, here’s a little beefcake–no comment required. 😉

…because it’s Tuesday, and that’s what they do over on Cup O’ Porn!

Check out my post about dreams, an exclusive excerpt from The Nesting Habits of Strange Birds, and comment for a shot at a couple of prizes!

A picture is worth a thousand words…

Nope, sorry, no nude dudes this time, just a (redacted) donation!

This donation is for 56 pre-orders (which is awesome!) and my $25 entry fee to the Rainbow Awards! I also paid the 2.something% credit card fee so The Trevor Project wouldn’t have to.

Thanks again to everyone who pre-ordered a copy of The Nesting Habits of Strange Birds, and everyone who spread the word! If I ever meet you (or see you again, if that applies :)) in person, remind me I owe you a hug. I’m a touchy-feely-hug-the-world type, though, so don’t say it if you don’t want that hug!

Fall into Love, and other cool stuff…

August and September will be busy around here, and I couldn’t be more excited. (Um, if excited means I think I’m going to hurl, then yeah, excited….)

Once I live through August it’s time for another TRR event—Fall into Love. Join us for fun and games and brace yourself for many, many additions to your TBR lists! Click on the graphic for more details.

Coming up this week, though, is a Book Blast for Shira Anthony’s new release. You won’t want to miss that, it comes with a cool announcement that includes one of my favorite f-words (no, not that one).

I should’ve announced this earlier, but I’m thrilled to be a Pride Promotions blogger! Pride Promotions handled my cover reveal event and it went so well, and Will was so amazing to work with, that I signed right up. I’m glad I did, because already I get to host amazing authors whose work I love.

9-w-cursive-300x300Okay, no more avoiding… Next Monday, August 11th—yep, in one week—The Nesting Habits of Strange Birds will be released. Hopefully I’ll be too busy to go crazy checking rankings and sales numbers, because that kind of obsessing is really no way to spend a special occasion.

Monday the 11th I’ll be hosting a Release Day Party on the DsP blog, and that Saturday, the 16th, you can find me on Dreamspinner’s Facebook page chatting there—hopefully not to myself (stay tuned for time info).

Throughout August and September I get to visit some of my favorite places. Here’s where I’ll be in August:

August 21, Joyfully Jay, where I’ll talk about my amazing cover art and share an exclusive excerpt.

August 23, I’ll be chatting at Goodreads! Last time a reader named the dog in The Nesting Habits of Strange Birds and this time I’ll need your silly/cult/fun movie suggestions for a WiP

August 26 I’m visiting The Novel Approach with a post about charities and an exclusive excerpt!

The release of The Nesting Habits of Strange Birds ends my charity drive for The Trevor Project, but that means there’s still a week left! I’ll donate $1 for every pre-order to The Trevor Project, along with my $25 entry fee for the Rainbow Awards. Click the banner below to visit the Dreamspinner store and get yours!

Smile when you say that…

August 11th is almost here! Two snippets until The Nesting Habits of Strange Birds is released, and here’s one of them.

 

I don’t want to leave you guys in suspense—Phil goes to see Lee’s band play and afterward they go for coffee. They’re walking to stash Lee’s bass in his car; the first line is Lee’s.

 

“So, what’d you think of the music?”

Phil shivered with the effort to keep from laughing out loud. “It was horrible.”

Lee made a loud questioning sound and turned to walk sideways beside Phil. “You’d better be smiling when you say that.”

“Oh, I w-was.”

“It was pretty horrible, wasn’t it?” Lee sounded so proud.

 

Thanks for reading!

 Don’t forget to check out all the amazing authors who participate in Seductive Studs & Sirens, Weekend Writing Warriors, and Snippet Sunday.

NestingHabitsofStrangeBirds[The]_headerbanner$1 for every pre-order of The Nesting Habits of Strange Birds will go to The Trevor Project, in support of their work protecting LGBTQ youth in crisis.
