December News

Nothing to report except to wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season filled with friends, food, and family.

Want a gift for yourself that won't look like you're giving yourself a Christmas present? Pre-order Kissing with Fangs! Here are a couple of links to all of my books:

November news

I've been writing up a storm this month and finished book 1 in a new series, and I'm currently 1/3 of the way through book 2. I'm very excited to tell you The Cupcake Coven will be my first self-published effort, and I'm enlisting my agent's help to navigate the left-brain duties--editing, formatting, keeping track of sales, etc.

I've also hired an awesome graphic artist to illustrate the covers. My readers were begging for more covers like my Strange Neighbors series. I adored those covers too, but the powers-that-be said 'no' and did something they thought was better. Maybe rippled muscles sell books. I guess they do, but I hope my writing style and stories inside the pages will keep readers coming back. :)

Now--I should have posted this before, but what can I say? I had forgotten it was my turns to blog today. I've worked up a little something and it's posted here: http://casablancaauthors.blogspot.com/2013/11/thank-you-to-books.html

If you're interested in what I was like as a kid, a teen, a young adult, etc. check out what I was reading at those times in my life.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving if you live in the USA, or reflect on the good things in your lives no matter where you live.

August Schedule

I'm busy gearing up for the Sept 3rd release of How to Date a Dragon. Yes...the madness is already starting! I have a bunch of guest blogs to write, websites to book for ad space, a street team to get promos to, plus the usual writing, editing, and monthly obligations.

Speaking of which, my two regular blog stops will be:
8/10 naughty author chicks
and 8/28 casablancaauthors

8/13 Taige Crenshaw's birthday party: I'm giving away a copy of Love Cuffs

Will post the Sept blog tour schedule soon!

To be sure you don't miss anything friend me on facebook at AuthorAshlynChase or Twitter @GoddessAsh.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Hugs,

Ash

Hot reads, cool treats...Blog Hop!

I got tagged in the Avon Tasty Summer Reads Blog Hop. Want me to tag you? Here's how it works:

Each author invites up to five other authors to answer five questions about their current summer release or WIP and a tasty recipe that ties into it!
Then give a short description of your WIP/Release including the date of release. Then answer these five questions:
1)When writing are you a snacker? If so, sweet or salty?
2) Are you an outliner or someone who flies by the seat of their pants? Are they real pants or jammies?
3)When cooking or baking, do you follow the recipe exactly or wing it?
4) What is next for you after this book?
5) Last Question...on a level of one being slightly naughty to ten being whoo whoo steamy, where does your book land?
 
Add your summer recipe!

*Here's where and when my post will appear*
Wednesday 7/17/13 on the Casababes blog: http://www.casablancaauthors.blogspot.com

Conference in Florida in February? I'm there!

Registration will begin soon:
Coastal Magic Convention (Feb 6-9, 2014 in Daytona Beach, FL) is a super casual, weekend party for authors and readers of urban fantasy and paranormal romance fiction. There will be panels, meet & greets, and random tomfoolery. The schedule will be designed to give readers plenty of time to hang out with their favorite authors, and chat about the stories with other fans. A charity book signing will be open to attendees and the public. Please check the event website at http://CoastalMagicConvention.wordpress.com for a list of Featured Authors (over 50 of them!!) and other information.
I'm psyched because this is the first time I've been invited to a conference as a featured author. :)
Cone to the dark side...We have cookies!

June news

Sorry this is a bit late. I was firming up a book signing date and now I have it!

Salem, NH Barnes and Noble, June 22nd 3 to 5 p.m. I'll be signing Flirting Under A Full Moon and my fabulous critique partner, author-friend Mia Marlowe will be signing One Night with a Rake.

Light paranormal contemporary romance or historical romance. Take your pick or try both! I hope some of you can make it.

The only other news I have for June is this: How to Date a Dragon is already on Amazon, B&N, etc. for preorder in paperback, and as of June 17th, it'll be available for preorder in ebook formats. Mark your calendars and thanks for stopping by!

Sorry about the late May news.

I usually post the months schedule of blog and live appearances on the first. This month I'm extremely late, due to 1) recovering from the 'Busy Much' blog tour in April and 2) landscaping.
It didn't really matter since I have no blogs or appearances this month (for a change!)

I have an item in Branda Novak's auction, and that's about it. http://brendanovak.auctionanything.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2906684

I post a Weekly Weird Question contest on my facebook fan page.
https://www.facebook.com/AuthorAshlynChase?ref=hl

1) I can ask anything I want.

2) You have no idea what the prize is. (Could be something awesome, like a gift card...or something silly like a plastic vase. Hey--you buy your ticket and you take your chances--except there's no ticket to buy. It's free.

3) You can never predict the answer I'm looking for.

4) You have to post your answer in my FB comments and send me an email stating that you want to be in the drawing. Sometimes there's more than 1 winner. Most of the time, not. LOL

I told you...It's a weird contest!

Love, Ash
