Exclusive excerpt from True Shifter (Totem #9)

I love October, and all the fun things that come with it. As a treat for you today, I have an exclusive excerpt from True Shifter (Totem #9) at Boundless Book Reviews. They're celebrating this month with the Boundless October Book Fest. Check it out for more awesome reads to add to your TBR list.

The 13th Floor collection blog tour begins and Nick Wilford's editing service launch

Happy first day of October!

And happy first day of The 13th Floor Complete Collection blog tour!

I have a spectacular month planned. There will be FIVE giveaways. Yes, I may be a little crazy, but I know you love it.

I'm starting off the tour with one of my fantastic critique partners, Tania Walsh.

Did you know she recently released a great paranormal romance called CLOAKED IN FUR? An awesome werewolf story.

I'll be talking about writing the series from start to finish.

Plus, you can enter a giveaway for a chance to win a signed copy of the collection!

With the unstoppable rise of self-publishing, it’s easier than ever to put your words and stories out there in the world. This is a great thing, and I’m all for it. However, it’s not just about the story - although of course, that is the most important part - but the way it’s presented. After spending months or years on a novel, building an incredible world and honing your characters and storylines to perfection, the last thing you want is to be let down by a lack of editing. It’s just as important as an arresting cover image.

New release date for the 13th Floor collection - request for hosts

As much as I hate pushing the date back, I'm rescheduling the release for the 13th Floor collection. It was originally scheduled for next month, but I'm giving myself another month to make it perfect. I want it to be the best it can be. (Pro of self-publishing: flexibility!)

On Friday September 13th, I will be revealing the cover to the collection. If anyone would like to be part of the cover reveal, please leave a comment below or email me. I will also be doing another giveaway. The lucky winners will receive the entire series of novellas in digital format.

I want to dedicate October to the 13th Floor series. This way, I won't be doing a one week tour and stacking the hosts. I'd like to do one host a day, maybe three a week (or more, depending on the response I receive). I'll have lots of excerpts, tidbits, and giveaways. I'll be giving away signed print copies of the collection along with the ebook. And I'll ship to anywhere in the world!

If you'd like to host me during October, please leave a comment or email me. If you'd like a specific date, please let me know as soon as possible.

As I worked on making the cover for the collection, I made a bunch of badges and banners for the series. I hope to have a lot more for October. Hosts can have their pick of something unique for their sites. Here's something to tease you with:

Saturday Snapshot - October 1

Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Alyce over at At Home With Books.

 October is my favorite month of the year. I love the chill and colors of autumn.

What I love most is Halloween!

This is my son dressed up last year.

Yes, those are pirate socks!
