Hi folks! If you want to send me a screenshot of evidence that you’ve rated/reviewed Faerie Blood or any other Drollerie work, this is a post to walk you through how to do that. Those of you who know how to do this already, no worries, you can go about your business.

Folks, I’m seeing a distinct lack of reaction so far to my proposed drawing for a $20 gift certificate! So in order to give y’all more time to maybe get a hold of a Drollerie book and get it properly reviewed, I am hereby extending the contest to the end of this month. That’ll mean you have until October 31st to read and review any Drollerie book–it doesn’t have to be mine!–and get me evidence of your review to get into the drawing.
Spread the word! And don’t forget, all our ebooks are on sale right now over at drolleriepress.com, so you can pick up a lot of ebooks cheap!
And oh yes, since I was asked this on my original contest post: I’ll accept previously posted reviews, I think, if you show me evidence of newly pointing people at said reviews. (Such as on your blog/journal, a forum post, something on Twitter or Facebook, etc.) My goal here is to encourage spreading the word about Drollerie, and previously written reviews, while fabulous, are already out there working to spread the word. I’d like to see new word being spread! And, of course, if you’ve already written reviews of Drollerie work, don’t let this stop you from writing brand new ones of different books. 😉
Folks, the promised gigantic sale has now launched at Drollerie Press! If any of you were waffling about when a good time to buy Faerie Blood would be, now would be fabulous. You can get the book for a mere $1.99!
All novel-length works are that same price (and I encourage you all to think very strongly about Cindy Lynn Speer’s The Chocolatier’s Wife or ‘s Beautiful Death), and shorter works range lower! As always, we sell in a variety of shiny DRM-free formats. Older works will be available in PDF, Microsoft Reader, and Mobi format, but our newer releases will also have Sony Reader and ePub.
For the interested, the sale prices should also be propagating out to some of the other vendors who carry us. Mobipocket is also carrying our sale prices, and although it may take until next week, Amazon will as well.
Go enjoy the reduced-price goodness, people! And don’t forget–if you review a Drollerie work and send me evidence of doing so, I’ll put you into the contest!
In honor of the forthcoming sale at Drollerie Press (scheduled for October 3rd through October 17th), I am hereby announcing my next contest.
Anyone who reviews or rates either Faerie Blood or any other Drollerie Press work, and sends me proof that they have done so, will be entered in a random drawing for a $20 gift certificate to the book vendor of your choice. In particular, if you select Drollerie, this’ll be twenty bucks you can spend on a whole bunch of tasty on-sale ebooks!
Y’all know that anthology for which I wrote “The Blood of the Land”?
My editor has now posted a sneak preview of its cover art along with a sneak peek at other covers of upcoming Drollerie releases. Check it out over here! Click on the first thumbnail to see the anthology I’ll be in, along with and ! There’s a title for it and everything!
I’m quite excited to be part of something will be in, as I’ve been meaning to read her for forever!
I keep getting asked this, even though I’ve mentioned it on my FAQ page, so I thought I should address this topic again:
Q. Will there be a print edition of Faerie Blood?
A. My editor has said yes.
Q. When will the print edition be?
A. This has not yet been settled. Drollerie has a limited budget and so can only release a small number of print titles at a time. Earliest I would expect this would be the latter half of 2010.
Q. When the print edition is available, where will it be sold?
A. You’ll be able to order it directly from Drollerie, of course. Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Powells also all have Drollerie print editions available for ordering online. Additionally, I will be approaching bookstores in the greater Seattle area to ask them about the possibility of carrying a few copies on shelves (expected places for this would be the University Bookstore, Third Place Books, and Elliott Bay, for starters). However, you should assume that if you’d like the print edition, the thing to do would be to either order it online, or else go to your favorite bookstore and ask them to order a copy for you.
Q. If I order an electronic copy now, can I print it out myself to read?
A. Yes, if you get a copy that has no DRM on it. If you purchase the PDF copy directly from Drollerie, you can print it out, put it in a binder, whatever you’d like to do with it. I know of at least one person who’s done this. I do recommend the PDF edition for this, since it’s formatted best for that.
Q. What can I do to make sure a print edition of Faerie Blood will happen?
A. Far and away the best thing you can do is to show Drollerie your reading love in general. Buy other works by Drollerie authors, especially print ones if you prefer that format over electronic. Go to your favorite online sites and leave appropriate reviews, not only of my work but of other Drollerie works as well. Tell your friends about Drollerie works you think they’d like, and consider buying them as gifts for others, too. Those of you who follow my Book Log posts will know I’ve been reading other Drollerie works lately myself, and I’m here to tell you–, , , , Meredith Holmes, Rachael de Vienne, and many more of my fellow Drollerie authors have written lovely things that are worth your time and attention.
And remember, next month we’re having us a big ol’ sale, so you’ll have plenty of opportunity to pick up several Drollerie works for reduced prices! Watch drolleriepress.com for details for when that starts.
Last but not least, it certainly won’t hurt if you just tell my publisher directly that you’d love to see a print edition of my book. We have on LJ that’s a mirror of the main site blog, but there’s also @drollerie on Twitter, and a Drollerie Press page on Facebook as well. Any of these methods should work nicely as a way for y’all to send in your feedback!
Once again, everybody, I thank you for your support. ^_^
Hey there all, you may have seen my earlier posts today for the Drollerie Blog Tour, from Rachel Olivier and Elisa Diehl–and if you didn’t, you should go read them! We’re talking about music this time around and they’ve got good thoughts to share.
And if you’d like to sample the entire Drollerie Blog Tour for the month, you can do so right over here on the main Drollerie site.
If that’s not enough Drollerie goodness for you, you can come by on Sunday the 27th at 4pm Eastern time, 1pm Pacific for our next Drollerie Press chat, too! It’s very laid back and casual and we’d love to see some new faces show up, so consider popping by to say hi and tell us what you think of music in writing, of your favorite zombie books, of the superpowers of David Bowie, or any other topic your little heart desires.
