Happy Book B-Day - Senior Year Bites by J.A. Campbell

Look at this beautiful shiny new cover for a shiny new e-book - a full length young adult novel by J.A. Campbell titled Senior Year Bites.

I'm wishing a Happy Book Birthday to

Julie for her first full length publication.

WooHoo!!!

This is exciting, people

and I happen to know that it's a very good book - a great story about a high school student who finds herself in the...well -- vampire condition.

Her friends want her to become a superhero...

she's a vampire.

What is going to happen?

Julie (aka J.A. Campbell) will be making some blog stops in June and July celebrating her new release.

She' s going to visit my blog in July, so keep an eye out for her.
I also happen to know that she's capable of putting together a small comic strip, once in a while. Maybe we can talk her into a small comic of Senior Year Bites, or her Doc - vampire hunter dog.

Senior Year Bites is published by Decadent Publishing and is available at:

Decadent

Amazon.com

Amazon.UK

Smashwords

I've just bought my copy, now go get yours!

On a related note, Ms Julie's short story Silver Rush (part of the Into The West series) is finally up at Barnes and Noble (it was a bit tardy, *g*) - all three of her current Into The West stories are up at B&N, and a fourth should be going up soon. Also available at Amazon, AmazonUK, and of course Smashwords.

I am looking forward to reading not only my new copy of Senior Year Bites, but finding out what else Julie is going to create.

I know there's lots of ideas in her head. Many story possibilities.

:)

Westward Yo, Happy Book B-day

WOO - HOO!

I'm a day late with this, but....

Westward, Yo!

a short story

Authored by the up and coming new writer

J.A. Campbell

is now officially available for sale

e-book -- $0.99 (that's 99 cents, yo!)

To celebrate her first official book release, Ms Julie is having a contest.

check out her blog for details - you could win a Nook or Kindle cover.

Tina Harker is a teen who has been uprooted by her father, moved to the boonies and dealing with having a complete life turnaround (no malls, no friends, no CITY LIFE!) - hello rattlesnakes, hello desert heat, hello wild-west!....hello bandits?

Sounds like a book I want to read - and having a little bit of past experience reading some shorts from Ms Julie, I'm sure it's going to be good.

Appropriate for school aged tweens and teens (this whole Electric Shorts series is geared toward 7-17 year olds) this will be a story that can be shared with daughters, nieces, students, etc.

places to buy:

OmniLit various formats

Amazon.com Kindle

Barnes & Noble Nookbook

Smashwords many formats avail

My review will be coming soon :)

Happy Book Birthday!....(week)

Book Release Day - contest links

I live in the United States, and seriously, from one time to another, no matter how many times I'm told, I cannot remember if we're behind or ahead of England in the time zone.

I Do Know

The Bitter Seed of Magic

is officially being released

In England (aka the UK)

on February 17 th, 2011

It is now February 17, 2011

12:19 a.m. here in the US

So either it's been out for hours now,

or it will be out within hours.

Whichever the case,

Today is the DAY that you can buy it (in the UK)

and the day you can order it from the Book Depository for immediate shipment.

So Happy Release Day!

or

Happy Book B-Day to The Bitter Seed of Magic!

{and to Suzanne McLeod - congrats on having THREE books published!}

Remember, if you want a chance to win a signed copy, there is 24 hours left in my contest - give or take a few for the purpose of my confusion over time zone differences.

If you've been a regular, or semi regular reader of my blog, you may have noticed that once in a while I'll go on and on about the Spellcrackers.com series and Suzanne McLeod's writing. That's because a few years ago, I stumbled across her blog and noticed she had an excerpt of her first novel up. I think this was right before her second book came out in the UK. I read the excerpt and couldn't stop thinking about it. (See? potential authors - put up excerpts - you're sure to pull in fans before you book is even published! I was a fan of J.A. Campbell's work also before her book deals came through and I'm so excited for her). So, I was waiting impatiently for Suzanne's books to be published in the US (lol, I waited for a whole few months before I bought them through the Book Depository - couldn't wait anymore). I never regretted ordering her books from overseas, because they are among the best books I've read. I could go on and on about them - I enjoy the characters, the world building, the humor, etc. That's why sometimes I just go on and on about Ms McLeod's books. They're worth it. :)

**There is currently an interview Suzanne McLeod AND a contest for The Bitter Seed of Magic over at Amberkatz's blog. Go over, read the fun interview and enter the contest.

Whew! Hope I remembered all the links!
