Eternal Hearts is still releasing on June 1, 2011.
Do you have any idea how much I love typing that? ;) Teehee. Okay, but anyway…I know my weekly update is a little late again, but it’s still in the same week so I’m happy with that. Right now, I’m all about taking the little wins where and when I can get them. :) I don’t have a whole lot to report this week, aside from letting you know that so far (knock on wood), everything is moving along according to plan. I should have the proof copy of Eternal Hearts any day now, and much to my surprise, Barnes & Noble actually has the pre-order listing for EH up already. You can find that here: B&N Pre-Order for Eternal Hearts
Amazon will probably have the listing up in the next 2 weeks or so, as well as all the other major print book retailers. I’ll let you know and share the links as soon as I see them. :)
As far as the Kindle and other e-Book formats go, there probably won’t be any pre-order listings for them. And as it stands right now, and much to my dismay, you may see the e-Books on sale a day or 2 before June 1st. Basically, Kindle’s (and others) self-publishing platform doesn’t allow an author to set a future release date…meaning I’ll have to upload the book on the 28th of May to make sure it’s available by the 1st of June (it can take 24-48 hours for the listing to go live). Which also means if Amazon is on the ball on the 28th - you may be able to get the book as early as May 29th or the 30th. It will probably be the same for the nook, All Romance E-books, Smashwords…and pretty much everywhere else the e-book will be available. I really wanted the print and e-books to release at the exact same time, but it looks like this is the best I can do. So, to my print readers, allow me to apologize now. All I can really do is hope that in the future all of these platforms will allow for future release dates.
On the Book/Blog Tour front, here are the dates I have scheduled so far:
June 1 - Release Party @ Bitten By Books
June 2 - Interview & Giveaway @ Rarely Dusty Books
June 3 - Interview & Giveaway @ Fangs, Wands & Fairy Dust
June 6 - Interview & Giveaway @ Book Of Secrets Blog
June 7 - Interview & Giveaway @ Good Choice Reading
June 8 - Interview & Giveaway @ The Book Nympho
There will be more dates, I just don’t have them scheduled yet. It sounds like I’ll also be doing some radio interviews and some other general craziness to promote EH…which should be interesting. :) But much like the pre-order links, I’ll share all the dates and whatnot as soon as I have them.
I’m also making plans to attend the Romantic Times Convention in Chicago in 2012. So, if any of you are contemplating going, please let me know. :) I have this horrible fear of sitting at a signing table and no one stopping to talk to me because I’m just a small time author. So knowing a few of you will be there will help me take the planning more seriously.
I think that’s all I have for now. If any of you have any questions pertaining to the release of EH, let ‘em fly and I’ll do my best to answer them. I just can’t think of anything else that I need to tell you right now. ;)
Have a good one!
P.S. OH...I almost forgot - Eternal Hearts is up on GoodReads now, so you can add it to your shelf if you'd like. I'm also hosting a giveaway for 3 print copies of EH, which ends on May 15, 2011. And yes, that means you could have Eternal Hearts in your hands by May 20th if you win! ;) You can enter here:

YES! I'm thrilled with the news that June 1st is still a go for EH. I've sold our house out from under us(2 weeks to get out), packing & been full swing of remodel at the other house w/weeks before it will be ready, but we are living here. Finally got my computer/internet set up after almost 3 weeks and this could not have been better news. DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!!
