So, Skein of Shadows releases TOMORROW! I hope you're as excited as I am! And to make this release even more special, I'm teaming up with my BFF Gini Koch to offer you a two-fer!
You see, her newest book, The Night Beat (which starts off a brand new series), officially releases this week too. Today, in fact! Check out this ubercool cover and description:
Awesome, no? If you like kick-ass heroines like Sabira, then I'm pretty sure you're gonna like Victoria, too. So sure, in fact, that Gini and I decided to do a couple of giveaways, and TWO lucky winners will win a copy of BOTH ebooks - Skein of Shadows AND The Night Beat - one set from me and one set from Gini. Plus, we're going to have some fun stuff for you during the course of these giveaways, including a behind the scenes look at what Marcy and Gini do at cons! You do NOT want to miss that, LOL!
To enter my giveaway, you just need to answer one little question, here (in the comments of this post), on Twitter, on my FB page, or via email at marsheila(dot)rockwell(at)gmail(dot)com. Sound easy? Depends on the question, right? Here it is:
Who is your favorite kick-ass heroine, and why?
Can be fictional or real life, a kicker of actual asses or metaphorical ones (laundry, cancer, rude internet trolls, etc). I don't need an essay (unless you want to write one) - a short sentence will do. For example, "Wonder Woman is my favorite kick-ass heroine because - well, duh - she's Wonder Woman." See? Easy peasy!
My giveaway will run from today until Monday, July 23rd, at which time Gini's will start up over on her blog. Remember, these giveaways are for ebook versions (though Gini's book is also available in paperback), so take that into account when entering. Don't have an ereader? (I don't.) No problem! You can download a free copy of Kindle for PC from Amazon and read any Kindle book right on your computer. (That's what I do.)
Already have a copy of Skein of Shadows? I'll swap it out for an ebook version of The Shard Axe or Legacy of Wolves. 'Cause I'm easy that way, heh.
So, what are you waiting for? Enter! And keep checking back for those fun extras I mentioned!
Everything Else
I wrote and scheduled this post on Sunday, because by the time you read this, I'll be in the hospital with Max having his CT scan repeated. As always, any prayers you can spare for my little guy (specifically, that his last set of scans were wrong and that the tumor has NOT grown) would be much appreciated. Thank you!

You see, her newest book, The Night Beat (which starts off a brand new series), officially releases this week too. Today, in fact! Check out this ubercool cover and description:
"The majority of Prosaic City's residents don't know that their town exists on top of another place -- Necropolis, City of the Undead. For the most part, the two planes of existence manage to remain separate. And when they don't, Necropolis Enforcement has beings in place to ensure the general human population remains blithely clueless.
Victoria Wolfe is more than just a policewoman. She's an undercover werewolf assigned by Necropolis Enforcement to work Prosaic City Police's Night Beat. Victoria's comfortable working the shift where all the weird comes out to play, especially since her partner is also her perfect man. Or would be, if Victoria could ever work up the nerve to tell him she isn't like other girls.
It's hard enough being a werewolf in disguise, but when a creature from the Depths of Hell shows up in an alley preferred by junkies, bums, and hookers, it's going to take more than just Victoria's special gun and werewolf skills to subdue the ancient Sumerian demon. Especially when the demon is merely the start of what appears to be a major takeover attempt by the Prince of Darkness.
Soon all of Necropolis Enforcement's Undead Brigade is involved in the fight to stop the Prince's Major Minions from taking over Prosaic City and the rest of the human plane. But it's Victoria who has to face the Adversary and figure out what intricate plan Lucifer has up his wings before everyone she cares about is destroyed.
In other words, it's just another day on the Night Beat."

My favorite kick-ass heroine . . .
Date: 2012-07-04 01:11 am (UTC)Sarah Jane first traveled with The Doctor long before I was born, but when I got caught up into the New Who (this was, alas, shortly after Elisabeth Sladen died), I absolutely fell in love with her. She was able to rebuild her life after she and The Doctor parted ways, and she became a defender of the Earth, on par with UNIT and Torchwood, working out of her attic, to such a degree that a chaotic demigod entity tried to take her out of commission. Sarah Jane faced down all kinds of enemies, with and without The Doctor, and always showed his mercy, his ferocity, and his sense of justice.
