And here, y’all, is my second guest for the September Drollerie Blog Tour. On the theme of “music”, E. G. Diehl has come by to share with you her musical background–which, I’ve got to say, is impressive!–and how music will be showing up in her forthcoming Drollerie Press works.

Elisa lives over here and is doing a post exchange with me this month for the tour! Peek behind the fold for her post, and when you’re done with that, go say hi to her at her place, and check out what I’ve got to say about Faerie Blood‘s playlist!

In case you haven't bought Faerie Blood yet…

Consider this your early warning that some time next month, rumor has it that Drollerie Press will be having a massive, MASSIVE sale. We’re talking $1.99 for all novel-length works, and for shorter pieces, 50% off!

Shiny, no? So if you’ve been waffling about whether or not to buy Faerie Blood, Elessir tells me to tell you that you ain’t gonna get him much cheaper. 😉

And I’d also like to take this opportunity to highly, highly encourage you to think of picking up The Chocolatier’s Wife, which I have reviewed over here, and which I am here to tell you is quite, quite tasty. Or if horror is to your taste, you might think about The Revenant Road or Scars on the Face of God. Like some paranormal suspense? Still Life With Devils is your book.

Drollerie Press, Site Updates

Meanwhile, a quick site update

For those of you who might be paying attention, I took a little time to update most of the pages on the site tonight, to properly reflect recent developments in Faerie Blood‘s purchasability (i.e., holy crap you can actually buy my book on Amazon now!). I also updated my Contact page to point off to my personal non-writing blog, annathepiper.org, and to mention the various LJ-like sites that this blog and annathepiper.org both mirror to.

And, I added in the missing June and July Drollerie Blog Tour links on the Extras page. Speaking of which, there will be no Drollerie Blog Tour this month since I do have a deadline I’m trying to hit. However, my fellow Drollerie author Rachael de Vienne, who wrote Pixie Warrior, is hosting a couple of guest posts that you might enjoy, so go check her out. She also posts lots of lovely old vintage photos as well, which are fun.

The Blog Tour will resume as normal in September, and with a topic that is of course near and dear to my heart: music. All y’all who’ve read Faerie Blood, if you have any requests for music-themed character vignettes or specific characters you’d like to see show up in same, drop a comment and let me know!

Drollerie Blog Tour: Cindy Lynn Speer on being a summer girl

Folks, it’s that time of the month again: the Drollerie Press Blog Tour! This time around our topic is summer, and I’m hosting Cindy Lynn Speer, the author of The Chocolatier’s Wife and other works. Y’all say hi! Cindy has the following to say about her post:

I am working on a new book, so Minerva Corvae, one of my main characters, wants to take over today’s blog post.

She’s a summer girl. And now I shall tell you why…and try to explain why I’m now a summer girl, too.

Enjoy!

New story in progress

So as of Friday I started slowly poking away at the new story I’ve been asked by my editor to write: the Civil War one set in the Faerie Blood universe. Only a tiny pittance of words so far, but it’s a start, and I have a soft deadline of August 10th and a hard deadline of August 30th to shoot for.

I do at least have the rough sketch of the plot worked out, so hopefully this should just be a question of whipping through the words. (She said, being long out of the habit of actually producing regular new words, and seriously needing to get back into it… so here’s hoping this thing will get me back in gear.)

The story is tentatively titled “The Blood of the Land”, which ties into the whole Warder thing with making blood ties to the land they’re protecting. And it’s a tie that can be broken or tainted, which is something I didn’t get into in Faerie Blood. This promises to be a darker and spookier story. I’m going to have fun with it.

Written Friday night: 90
Written today: 79
The Blood of the Land total: 169
