Upcoming Event, News, & More...

Happy Monday All,

Mark your calendars those of you who will be in Houston on Saturday June 21, 2014, because I will be joining fellow author, Dana Wright, and some others for an event at a Barnes & Noble. You can read about the details here. I plan to bring All's Fair In Love & Lion bookmarks, so if you want a signed bookmark, and to meet me and some other authors--ask questions and such, come on out. (I don't know about Immortal Dreams Trilogy bookmarks, that's something I'm working on some details, so I can't be sure if I will or not).

Saturday I went to my chapter's monthly meeting. Author Will

Graham talked about Jack the Ripper. He really did a great job. For anyone who doesn't know, Will is a very talented author, and I've been lucky enough to be able to chat with him about writing, publishing, and different things like that. He's been supportive of my career over the years. I'm very grateful for it.

My critique partner, Tess St. John has been busily working on another novel. I don't know exactly when it'll be released, but I know she's been hard at work. Stay tuned to her website and blog for further information (I don't think any is posted just yet, but I imagine it will be once the new novel is released or closer to the release date).

Author Marie Hall is offering volume 1 of her Kingdom Chronicles (books 1-3) for free on Nook, Smashwords, and  Kobo. I know she plans to have it available for free on Amazon Kindle. I've mentioned how much I love her work, and here's a chance for you to get three novels for free. That's Her Mad Hatter, Gerard's Beauty, and Red And Her Wolf all for free.

I hope all of you had a great weekend! I enjoyed mine.

Have A Merrily Magical Monday!

Kicking It Off

means this post is a December Days
Blog Giveaway post



You've heard the phrase, "Tis better to give than to receive", right? Well, that's what you're gonna get 6 or 7 days this month on Write By Bethany.

Each day--which are sprinkled throughout the weeks leading up to Christmas, but ending BEFORE Christmas--will feature a different author with a chance to win a copy of his or her novel.

Haven't finished your Christmas shopping? What's more awesome than a book that's signed by the author?

To kick it off, Will Graham has agreed to something very special. The winner will get his or her choice of one of his in-prints. Yep, you read that right. Whomever wins this giveaway will get to choose one novel of his in-prints to have personalized with whatever name the winner wants.

So here's the deal. These are the 3 novels Will has in print. He's provided a very short blurb for each of them, and given me permission to post the cover art so you can get a little feel for them.

Street Heat -- A former detective confronts the serial killer that got away... and the woman who broke his heart.

Sometimes There Really Are Monsters Under The   Bed -- An investigator and his heiress partner confront genuine Evil on that most special day, Christmas Morning.

Spider's Dance --A computer security consultant uncovers evidence of a deadly conspiracy with origins in World War II.

Hey! Guess What? It's December...

Happy Thursday Everyone,

It's December! It's December! Guess what that means? It means that it's the month for my giveaway days.

Friday is the kick-off day! That means on Friday, I'll be hosting a giveaway of an author's in-print book that will be signed by the author for that day and mailed to the winner.

Other than that, been busy prepping for Christmas and taking care of some things on my end.

Hope all is well and don't forget to come back on Friday...it's the first of the December Days Write By Bethany Blog Giveaway

Also, BIG NEWS and Congratulations to my fellow writer and friend, Susan C. Muller. She just had her novel published through Soul Mate Publishing! I've had the pleasure of reading and critiquing part of this novel--a Romantic Suspense with paranormal elements and, I'd say a bit of mystery, too. The Secrets On Forest Bend is now available through the publisher. 

Have A Thrilling Thursday!
