November news

HI everyone,

The October Annie-versary booksigning has been moved to November 17th. Annie's Book Stop owner Merry is celebrating 25 years! She's gearing up for the party, and there may be 3 authors besides myself attending. We're all writing for Sourcebooks, so our books are long and cheap. Well worth your time and money. Speaking of time, the hours will be 1 to 3 p.m.

In other news: I have a street team, and an assistant. If you'd like to belong to Ashlyn Chase's Champions, please contact Jenni Dinh at djen.assistant@gmail.com
I'm trying to welcome at least 1 fan in every state to talk up my books and pass out promos. We have more than half the states, but she can tell you for sure if your state still needs to be represented.

My facebook fan page just went over 1,000 fans. Woo Hoooo! Big thanks go to my street team for making that happen. I have a contest for every 250 likes there, so if you want to help me get to 1,250 fans, please spread the word! https://www.facebook.com/AuthorAshlynChase

Have a wonderful November!

 

October events

I'll be going to the NJRW conference soon!
For anyone interested, there's a public book signing with dozens of great authors Sat 10/13
4 to 5:30

Where: The Woodbridge Hilton, 120 Wood Ave., Iselin, NJ 08830
I missed the deadline to sign up for it! *Head desk* But they're letting me sign anyway.
I may have to bring my own books if Barnes and Noble can't get them in time, but I will be there and I will sign the 2nd and 3rd books in the Strange Neighbors trilogy. (I signed book 1 last year.) If I have to bring my own books, I'll add Vampire Vintage to the pile!


Later in the month (date and time TBD) I'll be signing at the Annie's Book Stop in Sharon, MA.
Merry is celebrating her 10th Annie-versary! My heroine in Strange Neighbors is named Merry...for the own of this book store! Stay tuned for more details.

Sept news is really light!

I've been working away on the new series and that's about all there is to tell this month. No book signings, blog tours, chats, nothin'. But maybe that's a good thing. It gives me a chance to talk about book 1 in the series. I just finished final line edits!

Here's a bit more than a blurb to whet your appetite:

Book 1 in Flirting with Fangs Trilogy: Flirting Under a Full Moon

Cocktail waitress Brandee Hanson has just been dumped via a text message. Dejected, she sits down with psychic Sadie who offers to cheer her up with a free tarot card reading. Sadie gets a premonition that Brandee’s true love is about to walk into her life. Brandee watches the door and in walks “One Night Nick.” A handsome playboy. Just what she doesn’t need.  

Nick Wolfensen is a werewolf and a paranormal private detective. He and Brandee have been attracted to each other and flirting for some time. Brandee is put off my Nick’s reputation. He’s called “One Night Nick,” for a reason. What people don’t know is that he’s avoiding emotional involvement so he’ll be free when he meets his true mate.  

His latest case is time sensitive, so he consults the psychic who practices out of a booth in his favorite bar. He’s been hired to find a kidnapping victim who has her own paranormal ability, although she’s unaware of it. The pre-teen is a fire-starter. Her power will erupt during the first solar eclipse after she reaches puberty—in other words, in nine days. Sadie narrows down the location of the girl to the theater district. 

Cocktail waitress Brandee overhears enough to know that Nick is talking about her little cousin Katie who’s gone missing. Who else has white hair at the age of twelve? She wants to help, but he sees her as only getting in the way. Brandee’s passion is photography, and when she’s on her own time she can go wherever she wants, right? How can he tell her not to practice her techniques for taking night photos on her evenings off? So, she shadows him.

When Nick shifts into a wolf to use his powerful sense of smell, Brandee can’t believe her eyes. She tries to convince herself it’s just a trick of the light, but she doesn’t really believe that. Her camera will tell her the truth, so she snaps a few pictures.

That's it for now, folks! Stay tuned for more teasers over the coming months. I hope to have a video trailer made for this soon.

July news from Ashlyn Chase

I'm going to be better about posting to this blog. At least monthly! I swear. You have my permission to scold me if I forget. 

7/11 An important article my agent and I wrote called How to Beta Read a Manuscript will be posted at romconinc.com in their erotica blog section. I haven't seen an article about this opportunity for readers before (although there may be some.) We are sharing this on a site dedicated to romance readers, hoping it will read as many as possible. I'd appreciate a tweet about it if you're so inclined.


7/18 I'll be signing with 50 other New England authors of different genres at the Danversport Yacht Club in Danvers, MA. Ask me for complimentary tickets! I'll be happy to send them or meet you at the door with them. Times 4 to 9 p.m.


7/27 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ashlynsnewbestfriends/ will be having our monthly chat called Favorite Author Friday with the fabulous Cindy Spenser Pape. Join the email loop to participate. I give a $10 Barnes and Noble gift card and the author usually gives away a book of their choosing.
