I'm on vacation in Florida this week, but I did want to catch all of you up on a few things. 

Mortal Arts, Lady Darby Book 2 releases on September 3rd, and is available for preorder wherever books are sold. So be sure to preorder you copy at your favorite bookstore - online or bricks-and-mortar. 

I received Advanced Reading Copies of Mortal Arts just before I left for Florida. Stay tuned for info about a contest I'll be running for a chance to win an ARC and a Vera Bradley Gift Set. I'll be making that announcement very soon.

I've got quite a few stops scheduled for my book tour and will be scheduling more. So it's not too late to let me know you'd like me to travel to you neck of the woods. I'll be announcing my appearance schedule soon.

I'm also booking online and blog appearances, so if you run a blog and would like me to stop by during my tour, please let me know. 

The Historical Novel Society Conference in St Petersburg, FL this past week was great fun, and I'll be attending the Romance Writers of America National Conference July 17-20. For those of you in the Atlanta area, drop by Atlanta Marriott Marquis from 5:30-7:30pm on Wed July 17th for the 2013 Readers for Life Literacy Autographing. There will be hundreds of authors signing, and all of the proceeds from the sales go to literacy charities. On July 18th the winners of the Daphne du Maurier Awards will be announced, and on July 20th the winners of the RITA Awards, so it will be an exciting and action-packed few days. 

More info to follow soon. But in the mean time, have an amazing summer!
