Blood Kin giveaway

Keri — Fri, 11 May 2012 06:53:35 +0000

M J Scott–who is not only a fabulous author, but a good friend and a critique buddy–has a brand new book coming out in June. Blood Kin is the sequel to Shadow Kin–which I know many of you have read–and I have a signed ARC sitting here in my hot little hands to give away. As usual, all you have to do is email me at kez @ keriarthur . com (no spaces) and put Blood Kin in the subject line. The contest will run until the 20th May and the winner randomly selected. To check out the blurb for Blood Kin and read the first chapter, head here.

Supanova Melbourne

As i mentioned on my Facebook page last week, I’m now appearing at Supanova in Melbourne as well as Brisbane. Given that Melbourne is actually happening this coming weekend, I thought I’d better get some details up!

date: 13–15th April
where: Melbourne Showgrounds.
I’ll be signing books at the Dymocks stand (stand N9) from 10ish to close (breaks excepted)

for more information and pricing, see the Supanova website

Winners!

Keri — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 21:54:23 +0000

I did draw the winners of my last contest at the end of March–I just forgot to post them here. The brain, she isn’t working lately. lol

So, without further delay, here they are;

Audio book winner– Selma Christian
Dark Angels mug winners–Nicholas A Parrot & Brittany2010

Congrats all, and thanks to everyone else who entered, I’ll be running another contest in a couple of weeks, so keep an eye out for that.

In other news, I’ve finished the ‘project’ I was working on (otherwise known as the rewrite of With Friends Like These) and have sent if off to my agent for comment. And I’ve also just completed the synopsis of Darkness Unmasked, the 5th Dark Angels book. Hopefully, now that I know where the story is headed, I’ll be able to write the damn thing. And anyone who knows me as a writer will probably have fallen off their chairs at that comment, as I have been a pantzer for as long as I’ve been writing! But this book was just playing hard to get–the muse knew where she had to get, but had no idea how to get there.

Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?

Giveaway time!

I got a box filled with the audio edition of Darkness Unbound the other day, so I thought I’d give one away. I’m also throwing in a couple of Dark Angels mugs and a Dark Angels bag as additional prizes, so you have a few chances of winning something this time.

All you have to do is email kez @ keriarthur . com (no spaces) and put audio giveaway in the subject line. It’ll run until the end of March, and you can enter as many times as you’d like. Good luck!

Cover goodness…

And this time, it’s the amazing cover for Darkness Hunts, the 4th Dark Angels book. Love this!

Blogging at the Dames today…

The Deadline Dames, that is. I’m yakking about editing, so as a post, it’s aimed more at writers than readers. Check it out here if you’re interested

Oh, and the Cover Flat giveaway mentioned in the post below is over and has been won! No more entries, please

Cover flat giveaway…

Keri — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 11:51:29 +0000

I received two Darkness Devours cover flats in the mail today, so I’ve decided to sign one and give it away. All you have to do is email kez @ keriarthur DOT com (without the spaces, obviously) and put coverflat in the subject line. I’ll randomly draw the winner on Friday (Aussie time)

good luck!

a shiny new cover…

Keri — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:58:46 +0000

Here’s the cover for Beneath a Darkening Moon (being re-released by Bantam later this year). Pretty, isn’t it?

a little update….

Keri — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:45:49 +0000

I just added the blurb for Darkness Hunts–the 4th Dark Angels book–to the Dark Angels page if you’d like to check that out. I’ve also seen the cover for Beneath a Darkening Moon (Bantam are re-releasing all my ImaJinn books) and it’s very nice

I’m currently half way through my final lot of edits for Darkness Hunts, so I’ll be shipping that off to my editor in the next day or so. And the edits for Beneath a Darkening Moon have already arrived, so I’ll be swinging onto that next. After all that, I have to get moving on the 5th Dark Angels book. The good news is that I know what the bad guy is in this book (hint – it involves spiders) and I also know how it’s going to end. What I don’t yet know is how it’s going to start. lol

So, what’s been happening?

Keri — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 11:35:29 +0000

for me, nothing and everything. I just completed the edits for Darkness Devours (Dark Angels 3) and sent those back to my editor, and I’ve also done the first edit run through Darkness Hunts (Dark Angels 4) and have sent that off to my beta reader. And I’m half way through the rewrite of an old story called With Friends Like These, an urban fantasy that is a little lighter in tone than most of my stuff and which has no sex (shocking, I know!)

Other than that, I’ve been doing little more than going to the gym and planning my two trips for this year. I’m off to the Romance Writers of America conference in July, and I’ll be at Comic Con New York in Oct (any excuse to go back to New York is a good one!) I’ll also be up in Brisbane in August for the Romance Writers of Australia conference.

Oh! For those who don’t follow me on twitter/facebook (and therefore wouldn’t have heard), Stephanie Laurens, Anna Campbell and myself are all in the Feb edition of the Australian Women’s Weekly (page 80). It’s not only a great article, but they have some great pics

Right now, though, I’m sweltering! Summer has finally hit and I hate the heat. lol
