Tati’s Weekly Checkup: 08.08.2011 & Giveaway!

by ** Tatiana Caldwell ** on August.8.2011

The Good:

My third book, sci-fi novella WAY OUT OF CONTROL, comes out next week on August 15, 2011. It stars a bi-racial cop, a female doctor who’s cautious of men, a crazy science experiment, and sexual tension so intense, it’s borderline dangerous. My most explosive story yet!

You can learn more about this story on the book’s page. If you’ve already read the excerpt, you may want to take another look at it as I’ve just updated it with the final, edited version which includes a brand new, sexy flashback scene.

The Bad …

… is far outweighed by the good this week, so let’s skip this section, shall we?

The Work In Progress:

Oh my goodness, my muse has been all over the place, and so at this exact moment in time I have … *pauses to count* FIVE (that’s 5 ya’ll) manuscripts in various phases of in-completion. I’m setting myself a goal to finish at least one of them by the end of this month, and I’m letting you all know so you can help keep me accountable.

The Appreciated & The Giveaway:

Exactly one year ago, I became a published author. Nervous, a little sheepish, and worried about never finding any readers or support. I’m still just as nervous and sheepish, heh, but I no longer agonize about whether or not anyone cares to read any of my work.

Thanks to you.

Without you reading my books, visiting my blog (even you quiet lurkers), leaving supportive comments and sending me emails to personally tell me how much you enjoyed my stories, I might have lost the courage and motivation to continue to pursue publishing.

So in effort to show my appreciation to my supporters, I’m going to giveaway a free digital copy of WAY OUT OF CONTROL to two people who have read one of my books and share their review of it by 7pm central on Saturday, August 13, 2011. Enter by leaving a review for SAY MY NAME at Amazon.com, SAY MY NAME on Barnes and Noble’s website, or  THE SUMMONING on Amazon.com. If you’ve read both of my books or would like to share your review on more than one website, each review posted will count as a separate entry. Winners will be announced by 6pm Sunday, August 14, 2011.

(If you haven’t read any of my books yet, there’ll be a chance for you to win WAY OUT OF CONTROL in a different contest next week, so stay tuned!)

The Gift of Giving (And a Contest!)

by ** Tatiana Caldwell ** on December.9.2009

Okay, the months seem to be shrinking as I get older. I could swear that I was just shopping for Halloween costumes a couple of weeks ago, and now I’m shopping for Christmas which is just a couple of weeks away. I hope this isn’t a progressive trend as the years go by, because at this rate by the time I’m 40 a whole year will feel like just twelve weeks.

Or maybe it has nothing to do with me getting older. Maybe I’m just anticipating the Holidays a lot more than I used to. Not because I’m looking forward to receiving gifts – there’s not even anything that I want for Christmas. As cheesy as it may sound, it’s the giving of gifts that I’m really looking forward to. My heart warms and swells at the thought of seeing the looks on my little boys’ faces when they wake up on the 25th and cheer what Santa will left them underneath their tree this year. I look forward to the smiles from my parents when they see what I’ve gotten for them, and get phone calls from my friends about packages from me they received in the mail. Even the husband might get me in special stockings – er hm, I mean get something special in his stocking from me. Yeah, that’s what I meant.

The spirit of giving is definitely with me this year. How about you?

And speaking of giving – a pal of mine has a contest going on over at Obfuscation of Reality where a signed urban fantasy book is being given away to a winner. If you like urban fantasy as much as I do, you should go check it out!
