Today will be short and sweet from me. I just wanted to get the word out about a book event that I'll be at here in San Diego THIS Saturday (aka August 15th ;)) from Noon to 3pm. There will be mingling, snacking, book-talk, book signing, and just generally a lovely afternoon. In a place with lots of books. What more could you ask for?
It will be at an awesome local Independent Bookstore- Mysterious Galaxy
http://www.mystgalaxy.com/event/local-author-meet-greet-0815.
Sadly, Book Two in The Lost Ancients' series, The Obsidian Chimera, won't be out in time for this event, but I will be signing The Glass Gargoyle! And I won't be alone!
Here are some of the awesome authors who will be at the event:
Cynthia Diamond—Siren’s Song
Blurb:
Between being hunted by
vampires and her inability to control her siren’s powers, all Adelle Constance
wants is to be left alone. She runs from her home, hoping to lay low in the
small Washington town of Whitmore. She didn’t count on meeting Jack, a cranky
nine-hundred year old dragon who, despite her protests, vows to protect her.
She also didn’t count on him being so deliciously attractive in that grumbling
way.
Jack has no desire for a
mate, especially after being dumped by the love of his life. Yet somehow he’s
suckered into protecting a beautiful siren who can make things explode just by
raising her voice. Reluctantly he takes the alluring Adelle under his wing,
finding her quirky charms irresistible. And when angry vampires come to take
her back, the dragon finds he’s not giving her up without a fight.
Andy Peloquin –Blade
of the Destroyer
The Hunter of Voramis is the perfect assassin: ruthless, unrelenting, immortal. Haunted by lost memories, he is bonded to a cursed dagger that feeds him power but denies him peace of mind. Within him rages an unquenchable need for blood and death.
When he accepts a contract to avenge the stolen innocence of a girl, the Hunter becomes the prey. The death of a seemingly random target sends him hurtling toward destruction, yet could his path also lead to the truth of his buried past?
Professional Freelance Writer

Paula Margulies—Favorite
Daughter, Part One
A young girl faces a dangerous and changing
world…
Set in the time of the
Jamestown settlement and the English explorer John Smith, Favorite
Daughter, Part One recounts the story of Chief Powhatan's daughter,
Pocahontas, as she prepares to take her place as one of our nation's earliest
leading women. Pocahontas invites readers to experience her native world when
strangers appear on the shores near her village. From forging a relationship
with the charismatic Smith, to experiencing love for the first time and
creating a role for herself in her father’s plans for peace, this young girl
takes us on a poignant and harrowing journey through the turbulent events of her
life. Eventually betrayed by all of the men she loves, Pocahontas matures into
a heroine of tremendous nobility, courage, and heart.
Told in first person, in a voice brimming with compassion and wisdom, Favorite
Daughter, Part One provides a compelling look at the early days of one
of the most remarkable legends in American history.

Joshua Rutherford—The Sons of Chenia
At one time, Chenia was a
great country. With various clans spread from north to south, a sacred
brotherhood of riders known as the Shepherds roamed the land, protecting their
people in the name of their god Ada. But an unspoken horror in the Shepherd
city of Sarbin fifteen years earlier has left the Chenians defenseless. As
refugees, many have left their homeland while those who have stayed battle
enemies both near and far.
Caught between the relative
safety of a foreign nation and the atrocities back home is Nicolai, a young man
whose own past remains a secret to him. A letter from a distant patriarch in
Chenia thrusts him into an odyssey with five of his closest friends, refugees
bound by hardship. Through ocean voyages, mountain treks and seedy cityscapes
these men return home, only to find it on the verge of invasion from the
world’s mightiest empire, Czaria. In the face of a superior force, Nicolai’s memory
churns. His once hidden past comes to light, offering a way to salvation for
Nicolai and his people yet also threatening to destroy him. With no other
option, Nicolai faces all his enemies, both internal and real, in one epic
battle to decide the fate of his people. And himself.
He’ll also be doing a book reading at the Del Mar Library TONIGHT-
Wednesday, August 12th @ 6:30pm (https://www.facebook.com/events/1641290082782041/).
Vic Warren--The Neptune Chronicles
Saffron
Jamie
Edmondson is friends with nearly everybody, as long as they don’t disagree with
his strident views on the environment. When he leads an expedition up the
California coast to the discovery of a new race of humans who live under the
sea, things change. That’s when he meets some really bad people who don’t like
humans that aren’t human. We call them Neptunes, and this race of telepaths
threatens everything we humans stand for. When Jamie falls for a beautiful
young Neptune, he discovers that when you’re underwater, no one can count your
tears.
“After this, what kind of songs do you think they’ll be singing about
her over their beers,mate? She’s legend.”
In a way, that
sums up my newest book, “Girl on a Dolphin.” It’s Book Two of The Neptune
Chronicles, and it takes you deeper into their underwater world.
“Daddy, daddy!
People on dolphins! There are people on dolphins out there!”
Jamie and Mercy
have been living on a tiny island in Fiji for five years, and their daughter,
Saffron, just ran in to tell them that she saw Neptunes riding on dolphins.
They have to travel to both sides of the globe to forestall what people are
calling “The Dolphin War.” With the balance of power over and under the seas at
dire risk, can they bring peace between the Neptunes and the humans in time?
“Girl on a Dolphin” brings us closer to the almost human race beneath the
waves.
Selena Jones--Every Day is Like Doomsday

Lucky for him, the Dean of Students knows he’s a fake and has enlisted the help of a sultry Villain named Innya to show him the ropes.
