Give the Gift of Blood Coven (REVISED!)

I figured out a way to make it easier for people who are interested in giving the gift of Blood Coven books this year. I've set up an online store on Amazon where you can purchase the books directly from me. They'll cost the same amount as buying them from Amazon normally, but I will mail your copies to you directly--personally autographed to the recipient of your choice and including fun extras like bookmarks and a Blood Coven Vampire in Training membership card.

I figure this is more official/easier than dealing with PayPal or having you mail in the books (which you can still do if you prefer!)

When Bad Blood is released, I will add that to my list of books as well!

To access the Amazon store, you can go here.

Gamer Girl Sketch

Found this one on Deviant Art. She did a great job! Obviously we know what Maddy looks like from the cover, but it's always fun to see what people think the other characters look like...in this case, Chad. I'd love to see someone draw some of the minor characters - like Billy or Black Raven. :)

Perez Hillton and Glee!

Yesterday was a busy day for me. I had two different celebrity shoots to cover. First up was celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. He was irreverent as ever, but a lot of fun to chat with!! He has a new book out - True Bloggywood Stories.





After Perez, it was off to Bryant Park where Marshalls/TJ Max was doing a Carol-oke event with the cast members of Glee. I've never seen Glee, but let's just say the boys Puck and Finn have a lot of excited female fans!!




Also there, as you can see from the photo, was Nicki Blonsky, who starred in Hairspray with Zac Efron. And 2nd season American Idol contestant Kimberly Locke.

I was not the only one there taking pictures!




Corey forgets the lyrics...




Real men rock pink guitars and reindeer antlers!! (Sad this came out so blurry!)




After the presentations I interviewed everyone for my segment.




And took some photos! :)




All and all it was a fun event. And the fact that it was like 60 degress made it even better!
