No, but I tried!
Of course, it didn't help that I sprayed my drink over the "No, not if you have a spine" comment.

I'm off to Mobicon 14 this weekend. I have three major workshops/panels on my schedule -- and they're all my brain-children -- and two "meet and greet"s. For two workshops, I'm flying solo and the third brings in two other authors. Should be fun!
Here's the complete schedule for those who are in the area and may be interested in attending:
MOBICON 14
Location: Ashbury Suites & Inns
Mobile, AL
Dates: May 20-22
Schedule for Jeannie Holmes:
Friday
12:30-1:30 -- The Art of Dialogue: Speech is fluid and filled with loops, whirls, stops, and starts. Filling your characters' dialogue with the same can instantly kill their likeability. This interactive workshop uses improvisation and audience participation to demonstrate techniques for refining your characters' speech.
2:30-3:30 -- Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies--Oh, My!: The supernatural has branched out of the fantasy and horror genres to invade mysteries, romances, and thrillers. Why be limited to the traditional views? Learn to think outside of the paranormal box to fine new creatures and ways to thrill your readers.
7:30-8:30 -- Meet the Guests
Saturday
2:30-3:30 -- Undying Love OR Eternal Struggle? Writing Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy: Is it a romance with fantasy elements or a fantasy with romantic elements? Learn to spot the difference between paranormal romance and urban fantasy and the basics for writing both. (Moderator: Jeannie Holmes Panelists: Candace Sams, Violet Reid)
Sunday
10:00-11:00 -- Sunday Morning Hangover with All Surviving Guests

Oooh, you must have one of those old fashioned cell phones that can't actually do anything with the pictures. ;p

No, actually, I can do all sorts of things with them. I just haven't had the time. |

With Blood Secrets officially less than 2 weeks away, I have to ask: Do the Minions want to schedule a live chat to discuss the book?
('Cuz I know y'all gonna freak... *evil author grin*)

Yes to chat from me too!! But I may need a while to read the book - my reading time seems to have been reduced this summer and who knows how long Amazon will take to deliver my pre-order!
Freak out? Us? Really? It is not like you have creepy dolls in this book or anything....
