It's Launch Party Time, Baby!

Hi everyone! 

Okay, so, two things I have to post about real quick! 

ONE!!

If you haven't joined in on the fun on Facebook right now for the Launch Party- don't fret - it's still going on right now!

Meet The Facebook Shenanigans Here!

TWO! 

Remember the second vlog I promised?! Here you are! 

ILLUMINE'S Official Launch Party!

So right now it's 6:40PM EST. That means there's only... 5 hours and 20 minutes until the Official Launch Party for Illumine starts. Ummmm, WHERE DID MY WEEK GO? 

As of right now, there's just under 100 people signed up to partake in the Facebook event. I'm going to make sure that this is going to be one of those things that whoever comes to it, is never going to forget it. I've already promised cake, sneak peek book info for OBUMBRATE, a couple super-personal giveaways, some promos for other authors, the whole nine yards! One of my friends once said that when I do something, I either put no effort into it at all, or I go balls to the wall. 

This would be the latter, not the former. 

So what should these invitees expect to see throughout the day? 

I'm going to be posting videos on and off all throughout the day and answering YOUR questions. It could be questions about Illumine, Obumbrate, myself, random declarations of love, anything. No stone shall be left unturned! 

There is also a tiny rumor running around that I will be hosting the end part of the party/vlogging at the Barnes & Noble in The Promenade Shops of Saucon Valley. This isn't 100% BUT there is a big possibility. I will tell you all for certain if I am going to be there by tomorrow morning around 12PM EST, so keep your eyes peeled! 

Aside from that, I do have another funny post for you guys coming up on Wednesday that's friend related. Let's just say I might make it a habit to start posting more Sh*t My Friends Say segments, since my friends are never-ending buckets of ridiculousness when we're paired together. 

That's it for me for now! I've got a cake to go bake and some vlogs to prepare for. Zoinks. I'll see you all on Facebook tomorrow! 

A Little Bit About OBUMBRATE and ILLUMINE Launch Party Update!

I originally had planned a Valentine's Day blog post on the ups of red hot smokin' love and compare it to broken-hearted/anti-Valentine's day blues, but life sort of got in the way. So to try and keep up with updating my blog on a regular basis I figured I'd show you guys just what I've been up to since my last post!

Big things first! There's a giveaway running on Goodreads right now for a chance to win one of four signed paperbacks of Illumine. And I'm SUPER proud to say that the giveaway has only been up for two days (after them confirming it and all) and at the current moment of this post has 323 people requesting it! Umm, excuse me while I scream bloody murderous glee over that.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Next! Kelly from Reading The Paranormal did a review of Illumine and was nice enough to post it on Goodreads! Very nice, thank you Kelly!

Illumine also went up on iTunes and Kobo (FINALLY).

I did an author interview for Megan McDade over at Reading Away The Days! Thank you, Megan!

Alexa over at Pages of Forbidden Love was sweet enough to feature Illumine this past week! Thank you too, Alexa! (PS- Kayden didn't have a Valentine... he did think about bringing you a flower, though!)

And, to save the best for last... I'm hosting an all-day Facebook event in honor of the paperback release of Illumine! If you've never been to one of these before, it's super easy.

Step One- Log on Facebook. RSVP to link.
Step Two- Log on Facebook on day of event, pop in, say hi, participate in games, win prizes and have fun, and do it in whatever you want to! Pjs, costume, birthday suit... (maybe not the birthday suit) but you get the point! RVSPing to the event and showing up the day of is highly recommended. Why? Well, let's just say everyone who shows up will get a beautifully exclusive sneak peek at Obumbrate and its cover!

Well, what are you waiting for?!
