Hi everyone, hope your weekend is treating you well so far! First up, a new appearance. If you’re attending the ALA (American Library Association) conference at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV next week, guess what? So am I :). You can find me here:
Saturday, June 28th
8:30am-10:00am “Isn’t It Romantic?”
Panel, Room S219. A panel of popular romance writers will discuss their books and will sign copies following the program. Panelists: Ryan Winfield (Jane’s Harmony), Deborah Coonts (Lucky Bastard), Shelley Coriell (The Buried), Jeaniene Frost (The Beautiful Ashes) and Penelope Douglas (Rival). Moderated by Barbara Hoffert, editor of Library Journal’s Prepub Alert.
11:00 – 12:00pm Signing Arcs of The Beautiful Ashes. Harlequin booth # 363.
Not able to attend ALA but still want to live chat with me? Head over to Twitter on June 25th from 8pm-9pm Eastern time for the #NALitParty chat with Ann Aguirre (@MsAnnAguirre), Cora Carmack (@CoraCarmack), Chelsea Fine (@ChelseaFine), me (@Jeaniene_Frost), Jamie McGuire (@JamieMcGuire) and Monica Murphy (@MsMonicaMurphy). We’ll be talking about good books, bad boys and anything else you ask us *wink*. To follow the chat Wednesday night, just click the #NALitParty hastag on Twitter.
But wait, there’s more! Be sure to check back on my blog this Tuesday the 24thbecause I’ll be posting a really cool giveaway. I can’t tell you what I’ll be giving away yet, but there’s lots of it, so don’t miss out.
Want something free right now? Remember the scene I posted from The Beautiful Ashes a little while ago? My audio book narrator, the fabulous Tavia Gilbert , created an audio version of it, so to listen, just click the “play” button below.
If for some reason the play button above doesn’t work, here is the direct link: https://soundcloud.com/taviagilbert/the-beautiful-ashes-excerpt-by-jeaniene-frost-narrated-by-tavia-gilbert
Speaking of The Beautiful Ashes, I received two quotes from authors whose books I love, so I was doubly flattered and delighted:
“Jeaniene Frost brings her signature wit, sizzle and extraordinary imagination to this epic new series. I was addicted from page one.” #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout
“Jeaniene Frost is blessed with a creative soul.” #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon
That’s all I’ve got for now. Enjoy and see some of you next week, either online or in person :).
Dang…the year I have to go AALL instead of ALA. Hope it’s a blast for you
Why does no conference ever come south of stupid Orlando!!! U want to meet & ty in person but if I get my first book finished is it safe to ask copyright first before I look for an agent? Book 2 is moving faster but fight scenes are harder then the sex ones! Can’t wait for Vlad &:your latest masterpiece!! Much love from SW, Florida!
Don’t worry about applying for a formal copyright, unless you intend to self-publish. I didn’t have one when I shopped for an agent. Best of luck with your novels!
