My First Release Day – Night Walker

Lisa's Blog Uncategorized 35 Comments

Hi everyone –

I’m in my office chair, my eyes brimming with tears as the clock nears midnight and my amazing over-the-top-fabulous publisher sends me this pic…

That’s her son holding up a copy of my book.

Just saying “my book” makes me all choked up! Yeek!

For those who might not know, this has been a long super hard-fought journey with this book-of-my-heart. I almost gave up on Calisto and Kate a few different times.

I’m so glad I didn’t!

And I can’t wait to get my hands all over that book!!! LOL

In the past 10 years that I’ve published short stories and struggled to find a home for my novels, I’ve gotten to know many of you online and your support over the years through blog comments, emails and virtual hugs has meant the world to me! I feel like I’m finally coming through for all of you who have been rooting for me.

You have helped make this day possible and I’ll never be able to thank you all enough!!!

If you click on the cover here, you’ll find links to all sorts of online stores to grab a copy of Night Walker…


I also have book plates now that I would be happy to sign and mail you! Just shoot me an email and I’ll send one right out to you…

I feel like a huge dork over here bawling in the corner of my office! Yeesh! But seeing someone holding a copy of Night Walker is a dream I had nearly given up on… Shew!

Receiving pics like this… of people who are coming along on the Night Walker journey with me are priceless and make my day, month, year! LOL (Thank you Wendy for posting the pic for me!!! You Rock!!!)

So in honor of Night Walker releasing this month, I’m going to hold a photo contest… Please take a photo of you with your copy of Night Walker, even if it’s a picture of you and your Kindle or Nook, eBooks totally count!!! Just make it so I can see the title page…

At the end of August, I’ll choose winners from the pics and they’ll win some Night Walker prize packs of goodies!!!

And to my fabulous Street Team members who have been behind the scenes supporting this book every step of the way, you can all play in this contest too!

I’ll be signing books at RomCon in Denver this weekend, and then hosting a book signing launch party here in San Diego at Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore on August 14th at 2pm! I’d love to meet all of you if you’re nearby!

Also, you can jump in our virtual launch party on facebook tomorrow all day and win goodies there too! http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=219541484756584 Commenters and RSVPs will all be entered to win stuff… Fun!

I read excerpts of Night Walker on blogtalk radio, so if you’re curious you can listen here…
