The World’s Best Beta Readers!

I just wanted to take a moment and brag about the fact that I have the worlds best beta readers ;) Well, I do. But, okay, I guess bragging isn’t nice, so instead I will settle for saying thanks to Sharon (of I Smell Sheep fame – awesome blog, check it out!), Steve Evans (fellow author – check out his books!)  Juli (with no e – the ruler and writer of the Williamson Vampires – check out her blog!),  and of course the infamous Bonnie (who can credit herself with my birth among other things!) without whom book three would have been boring and book four… well, we’ll see if I can whip it into something after taking in all of their awesome suggestions!

Here is a video not only for them, but for everyone who has taken the time to drop me a note, comment on my blog, read the book(s) or stories, recommended them to their friends/love ones or even just generally said “hello” in the last year ( I not only have the best beta readers, but also the best fans and friends, too! :) And did I mention the poor editor who is slaving away? )

And I mean that!

(And for anyone who wants to know I am still planning on a spring release for the still untitled book 4, though perhaps more May than April.)

Legacy of Ghost’s Trailer…..

What?!?! But I thought…

Yeah, yeah, Ties of Blood is the new book. However, I finally got the trailer for Legacy of Ghosts done. No, I didn’t have a sudden rush of spare time, I had some internet issues (like I needed that after the email fiasco!) and so while I had to wait for them to resolve I finished up the trailer I have had in the works for months. Yay. It’s finally done. Now to get the trailer finished for  Ties of Blood…

for some reason it is not showing up so here is the link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aItzkbvHtqE

Vampires and… Pot?

I have officially finished Ties of Blood and it is sent off to the editor and to a couple of beta readers. What does that mean? it means I am done for now and need to get caught up on the book covers I have waiting for me to finish. Though I don;t normally post much in here concerning those, I will say that I will no longer be formatting manuscripts for the POD places, nor will I be making wrap around covers anymore (unless you have something commissioned already). These are both too time consuming right now.

Anyway, I am taking a couple weeks to get everything (including my neglected website!) caught up and then I have some very cool ideas for posts and such.  Just bear (not bare – that could be a whole different kind of blog!) with me and things will get more exciting. I promise.

Okay, now that I’ve bored you, here’s a video that was sent to me by Sue – otherwise known as SassySue!

Ha ha! Run pizza boy, run!

If you guys know of any other great vampire videos feel free to send them in! I always enjoy them!

PS – for fellow WordPress bloggers that want to know HOW I got this video to embed, please check this out – http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/vodpod/ – very handy!!!!!

Interview, Guest Blog & a Video!

Yeah, this post has it all goin’ on! Mainly because I’ve been behind and now have to cram it all into one post. Erm, no, no, I mean, uh, I planned it that way. Yeah. That’s right.

*cough*cough*

Linda S. Prather, author of the Jacody Ives Mysteries, was kind enough to Interview me for her new blog.  And I’m not the only one. She’s on an interviewing roll, including Larry Enright and Al Boudreau.

Reena Jacobs, author of Shadow Cat, was also nice enough to allow me to do a guest post for her blog about turning your eBook cover into  a paperback cover. She is featuring guest posts from authors every week in her Authors Helping Authors series. There’s a lot of good information, there.

And now for the video. It’s not actually a video. I mean it is animated, and you have to hit a play button, but it doesn’t require any sound because it’s actually a collect of vampire jokes that are so, so bad they’re funny.

Aren’t you glad you stuck around for that?

eHow to Escape a Succubus

You can blameJissilly for these videos. He’s the one who found them originally. Okay, so there’s no vampires, but a succubus is kind of in the vampire family, right?

And, because you never know when you might need to do this…. Here’s eHow to Call Home from Beyond the Grave

You can now say your “weird stuff” quota has been met for the week. And hey, it’s only Wednesday, so you’re ahead!

Vampires Get Depressed Too – Fun YouTube Video!

Jonathan Harvey – aka Jissilly – shared this song with me the other day.  There are several video versions (Jonathan Coulton, the singer, shares his music under a CC license so it is ideal for making youtube videos to. Really, it’s a clever marketing scheme if you think about it because THEY do all the work making the videos and you just had to make the song… but I digress) Anyway, this was my favorite of the videos:

Wasn’t that fun? I guess if we find dark, dreary days depressing, then sun hating vampires would hate the blue sunny days… Okay, honestly, I’m kind on the vampire’s side. Give me gloom over the blue skies most any day. Except during January when an ice storm knocks out the electricity for a week. I was never so glad to see the sun in my life as I was then!

Special Sale and Fun Videos!

Yeah, it’s a “two fer’” post.

First I want to announce the exciting news that Shades of Gray, previously $11.00 in paper back, is now $7.50.

That's a $3.50 savings!!

GET IT HERE

Yeah, this is that “Pro plan” I talked about, though I opted out of the extended distribution for the moment because it means I’d have to leave the price at $10.50. And,  where as it does make the books available to book stores such as Barnes and Noble or Borders, the only way my book would be there is if someone walked in, went to the counter and said, “Hey, can I get Shades of Gray by Joleene Naylor?” And if they’re doing that, then there’s a good chance that they could have just gotten the book online. In the end, with shipping and handling, they probably pay the same amount, and have it there in the same amount of time, except that they then have to go back to the bookstore to pick the book up, vs having it dropped off at their door.

I don’t know.  I might enable it later, meaning that this $7.50 thing may not be around forever. So, if you haven’t got the paper back yet, now’s the time to do it.

On a side note, I’m still waiting for the prize books to arrive. They’re supposed to be here no later than Monday, which means Wednesday for us in hicksville, so cross your fingers.

And now for the videos I promised!

I found these from random postings on the CPC Vampire vs Zombie Challenge and wanted to share them. The first one is short but hilarious:

And here’s another spoof/parody that gave me a giggle:

And as a bonus, this one isn’t exactly vampire related, but it was catchy and amused me:
