And now, many of you know that I am BFFs with Ilona Andrews, who will also be at Dragon Con. We teamed up to create over 200 special, customized tote bags, stuffed with at least one free copy of either of our books. These tote bags will be given away (one per customer and while supplies last!) to anyone who buys EITHER a book of mine OR an Ilona Andrews book from The Missing Volume book seller at Dragon Con. Books will be available to buy during our signings, as well as at The Missing Volume’s booths throughout the convention (Amerismart Building 2, booth numbers 1201,1203,1300,1302)
Again, this is while supplies last, so grab your free custom tote with your purchase before they’re gone!
