Right then, holiday is over and the new year has begun

I know I keep saying this, but let’s see if I can hold to it for a while now that the new year is under way, eh?
Back into Bone Walker tonight, with Chapter 7 underway. I’ve got me a Kendis with a head full of stuff she’d really rather not have to be dealing with all at the same time, and a bit about how the magic of Warding a city works, and a bit of Seattle geography all touched upon in the five hundred words I’ve written tonight. This felt good. Let’s see if I can do it again tomorrow.
Meanwhile, in case y’all haven’t seen it yet, we’re handing out free downloads of my story “The Disenchanting of Princess Cerridwen” right over here for the 11th day of Drollerie Christmas! I know, I’m already handing it out for free here, but said such nice things about the story that I really just sort of have to go “aw”. *^_^*;;
And oh yeah, did y’all see the new poll I have up in the sidebar? (Go here for those of you who are reading this from LJ or DW.)
Written tonight: 508
Chapter 7 total: 508
Bone Walker total (first draft): 17,242
Drollerie Press giveaway, and also, a bit of sales data!

So over at Drollerie Press we’re in the middle of a 12 Days of Christmas giveaway, featuring several free downloads by a lot of us DP authors–and which will culminate in the giveaway of a free ebook reader a bunch of us are chipping in for! It’s a jetBook Lite, and you can find out more about it and the giveaway in general here. Skim all the site’s recent entries for the downloads available so far!
Meanwhile, I’ve finally gotten a bit of sales data from my editor , who informs me that during 3rd Quarter 2009, I sold 148 copies at Fictionwise! This means I now have 165 confirmed sales so far–and this isn’t counting anything from Mobipocket or Amazon or other sites, not to mention Drollerie’s own store during that period. So when the royalty statement finally shows up, I’m hopeful it’ll have some interesting numbers indeed.
For the home audience–this means that by very rough estimation, I’d be getting somewhere in the vicinity of $375 for these confirmed sales. And if I can confirm another 335 or so, this gets me into the territory of Anna Can Buy a New Guitar. Y’all want me to have one of these lovely things, don’t you? 
Well, if you’ve bought Faerie Blood, this is exactly what you’ll be contributing to, and I have not forgotten my pledge in the earliest days of this blog of mine that if I do get that guitar, I will totally post video of myself playing it. And I’ll very likely also do another poll and giveaway, because let’s face it, folks, this will be a guitar you all helped me buy. Which means you totally should have a shot at helping me name it.
Ultimately, though, the really important thing to note here is that holy crap 165 of you out there have bought my book. I really hope you’re all enjoying it! And I thank you for your support.
The Drollerie Press sale has begun!

Folks, the promised gigantic sale has now launched at Drollerie Press! If any of you were waffling about when a good time to buy Faerie Blood would be, now would be fabulous. You can get the book for a mere $1.99!
All novel-length works are that same price (and I encourage you all to think very strongly about Cindy Lynn Speer’s The Chocolatier’s Wife or ‘s Beautiful Death), and shorter works range lower! As always, we sell in a variety of shiny DRM-free formats. Older works will be available in PDF, Microsoft Reader, and Mobi format, but our newer releases will also have Sony Reader and ePub.
For the interested, the sale prices should also be propagating out to some of the other vendors who carry us. Mobipocket is also carrying our sale prices, and although it may take until next week, Amazon will as well.
Go enjoy the reduced-price goodness, people! And don’t forget–if you review a Drollerie work and send me evidence of doing so, I’ll put you into the contest!
Drollerie Blog Tour master post + next chat!

Hey there all, you may have seen my earlier posts today for the Drollerie Blog Tour, from Rachel Olivier and Elisa Diehl–and if you didn’t, you should go read them! We’re talking about music this time around and they’ve got good thoughts to share.
And if you’d like to sample the entire Drollerie Blog Tour for the month, you can do so right over here on the main Drollerie site.
If that’s not enough Drollerie goodness for you, you can come by on Sunday the 27th at 4pm Eastern time, 1pm Pacific for our next Drollerie Press chat, too! It’s very laid back and casual and we’d love to see some new faces show up, so consider popping by to say hi and tell us what you think of music in writing, of your favorite zombie books, of the superpowers of David Bowie, or any other topic your little heart desires.
In case you haven't bought Faerie Blood yet…

Consider this your early warning that some time next month, rumor has it that Drollerie Press will be having a massive, MASSIVE sale. We’re talking $1.99 for all novel-length works, and for shorter pieces, 50% off!
Shiny, no? So if you’ve been waffling about whether or not to buy Faerie Blood, Elessir tells me to tell you that you ain’t gonna get him much cheaper.
And I’d also like to take this opportunity to highly, highly encourage you to think of picking up The Chocolatier’s Wife, which I have reviewed over here, and which I am here to tell you is quite, quite tasty. Or if horror is to your taste, you might think about The Revenant Road or Scars on the Face of God. Like some paranormal suspense? Still Life With Devils is your book.
