VAMPIRES OF EL NORTE and the Books for Maui fundraiser!
PHEW, what a week it has been! In case you missed it, VAMPIRES OF EL NORTE is now available wherever books are sold.
That includes the audiobook, which is a bookseller pick and horror bestseller on Libro.fm, the indie alternative to Audible! It received a rave review in NPR and, according to anecdotal reports, has been flying off the shelves of bookstores far and wide. This week, it even occupied 3 of the top 8 spots in Amazon's niche Vampire Horror category (including #1!!!). It was hilarious and amazing to see my novel cheek to jowl with Anne Rice and Bram Stoker himself.
I am eternally grateful for my readers and their enthusiasm for this book. It was a tough one to write, so it really means so much to me.
I've had the opportunity to speak to the wonderful folks who host these podcasts: B&N Poured Over, Audible.com, She Wore Black, Functional Nerds, The Inside Flap, and Talking Scared (live episodes are linked; the others are upcoming!). Tomorrow, I'm so excited to be paying a repeat visit to my buds on the Spirits podcast and then debuting on Breaking the Glass Slipper, a favorite podcast of mine! Finally being able to talk about the book with so many insightful minds has me literally vibrating with excitement to write the next one.
For there is a next one.
But I can't tell you anything about it. (Yet.)
The primary reason I wanted to reach out to you all is to share a fun opportunity for you to win a one-on-one Zoom chat with yours truly!
To support the Books for Maui fundraiser, I have donated a personalized signed copy of THE HACIENDA and a 30 minute AMA (ask me anything) Zoom chat! The auction is now live! Proceeds go to supporting the Hawaii Community Foundation, Kamehameha, the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement, and the Maui Food Bank. There are also so many other fantastic bookish goodies available in the auction, including chats with authors, critiques from agents and editors, signed books and swag, and so much more. I highly recommend checking it out!
Time for me to get back to researching my next book!
