Thursday Thirteen 27th Edition
Feb. 21st, 2008 01:18 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
xakaraHello Kittens,
I had many topics in mind this week, but with the 26th so close at hand, I'm combining our exploration of alternate lifestyles and various sexual orientations with responsible business practice and tossing out a bit of promo. My Paranormal Romance novella comes out in ebook format in five days Lovelies, so today I bring you 13 Reasons You Should Download SHIFTING PASSIONS on Tuesday.
Enjoy.
13 Reasons To Download SHIFTING PASSIONS February 26th
1. Affection ~ You like me. You really, really, like me. (Gotta love Sally Field).
2. Size ~ It's a novella, so you can sit down and consume it one sitting like any good guilty pleasure.
3. Global Warming ~ It's an ebook, so it's a green product and you can feel environmentally conscious while getting your romance on.
4. Sex ~ It has sex and sex is good.
5. Comfort Zones ~ It's a menage a trios/poly-romance so it will expand your horizons.
6. Comfort Zones ~ It's a menage a trios/poly-romance and if that's your thing, here's a taste with more to come.
7. Insider Information ~ It's an introduction to a larger world that will be revealed in detail later in BLOODSPRITE. Reading SHIFTING PASSIONS and the pending second novella will prep you for the novel (and things that unfold in the series).
8. Insurance ~ You want to buy and tell your friends who tell their friends, because the better my sales, the more stories I can bring you which you love because -- see #1
9. Curiosity ~ You've read excerpts and gotten a taste of my style through my blog, now you get to see what happens when an editor gets to direct my ramble
and make it shine.
10. Satisfaction ~ Some of you have waited nearly as long as I have for this release and now you can finally fulfill that craving to know what happens and how my voice carries over into my writing.
11. Masochism ~ Many of you waiting for SHIFTING PASSIONS have wanted BLOODSPRITE even more because you want info on my Therian World. Tuesday's release of SHIFTING PASSIONS will give you just enough info to know how much you really need SPRITE to come out already.
(Ah, but it hurt so good)
12. Feedback ~ Once you all read PASSIONS I'll be taking questions and feedback, some of which may shape future novellas and novels not to mention become forum discussions and help expand my world into a community. Yeah, didn't know this was going to be interactive did you?
13. Investment Opportunity ~ Emotionally speaking that is. It's a chance to jump in on my first release and follow me as my career grows and develops and that's always nifty. I know first hand as I've been blessed to catch some other authors from their day one debut and watch their successes as if they were my own.
14. Affections ~ I'll like you. I'll really, really, like you.

Re: from Nicholas

(Minor side trivia: it's not actually what she said but it's the way it's been remembered and quoted and self-spoofed by her as such)

Talk to you soon.
