The lovely Book Chick City is hosting this! 

and today's post is from the fabulous Louise Court, who is a Publicity Assistant at Orion/Gollancz. Louise lets us in on what it's like to work with all the wonderful books, and what happens when they're getting published. Oh, and she's giving away FOUR fang-tastic* books (one of which you might just recognise *g*).

Links of Love # 3 -  Rabid Reader has a contest for a signed book*! (scroll down the post to find it) Oh, wonder which one that is? *g*

Links of Love # 5 - Shoot a Valentine's Day arrow at your favourite lovers, and pin them down in a comment here, and you could be all loved-up with Cat & Bones in their new book: THIS SIDE OF THE GRAVE - JEANIENE FROST.


Right, off to make romantic chocolate covered strawberries for Mr Mc - thanks to an idea given me by a a very sweet friend this morning :-) Pic spam may follow ;p

ETA:

*This post is all about the book that shall not be mentioned here (shameless shelf promotion can only be taken so far ...), the same book that is officially released this Thursday!! Yay! And is already shipping from Amazon.co.uk, The Book Depository, and has been spotted in the wild in Waterstone's in Edinburgh!

Hallowe'en Shenanigans

I ♥ Gollancz!

Yay! It's Spellcrackers.com week over at the Gollancz Dark Fantasy page on Facebook.

There is a good chance of contests and giveaways, so why not head over there and 'like' it :-)

And while you're over there check out the pictures from the Gollancz Hallowe'en party for more snaps like these ... much fun was had by all!

Here I am witching it up at the Gollancz Hallowe'en party

Bubble, bubble, toil  and trouble with my fabulous editor Jo (centre), and another lovely witchy lady from Gollancz - notice the tray of Bloody Marys* I was studiously ignoring *g*

It's a Steampunk Stickup with Bella Pagan, editor at Orbit

***

I will also be at the Bridport Literary Festival in Bridport, West Dorset, this Saturday at 11.00. I am being interviewed about vampires, witches, faeries, and other scary things that go bump in the night - particularly around this time of year *g*

If you're around that way, I'd love you to come and see me!

So

After the interview I'll be signing books, or anything else (within reason :-)).

*or should that be Bloody Maries? Except that doesn't look right ...
