DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT . . .

Whoa! So it's been a week since the release of A MILLION DIRTY SECRETS and I feel like I'm the luckiest person in the world. I know that's a slight exaggeration, but if you've been following my Facebook Page, or if you've gone out to your local store to pick up a copy of the book, then you know they're FLYING off the shelves. Like this Target shelf on day #1 of availability. 

^^^EMPTY SHELF THAT HAD TO BE RE-STOCKED^^^

Shut the front door! I think I'm still in shock. And then there was this . . . ALL OVER the place . . .

So I'm feeling like a rock star, right? Because, come on . . . that's pretty dope! (Do people still say dope?) Not really. I was overwhelmed with emotion. I may have shed a tear or two, but thank goodness, the admin of my street team, Parker's Pimpin' Posse, was there. Alicia Justice and her bohunk, Joshua Young, drove all the way to my humble abode to keep me in line on release day. They run Jitterbug PR, so they're pretty adept at handling this sort of thing. Bless them. They're the real rock stars.

And speaking of rocking, Avenged Sevenfold's (aka A7X, aka BEST ROCK BAND EVER) newest album, Hail to the King, dropped on the same day A MILLION DIRTY SECRETS dropped. Coincidence? Most likely, but I'd like to think the day was just a foretelling of epicness. LOL! Just go with it, please . . .

Anyway, let's look at a couple more pics (and these are but a sampling) that I've received since the book was released. And it might be under the Best Selling Fiction section, but no, it hasn't been "officially" listed as best selling. Doesn't matter. I see it on the shelves and that's good enough for me. However, I did see today that A MILLION DIRTY SECRETS has snagged the #2 spot on the iBookstore Top 50 Best Selling Erotic Romance ebooks list, to which I say . . . PLEASE DON'T LET ANYONE DEMAND A RECOUNT!!! 

What a lovely collage of such beautiful people!

Oh, and I had a signing at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Lexington, KY the day before the release. My mother insists I post pictures of it because that's how mothers are . . . *I <3 MY MOM!* 

Not sure what this face was about, but it gave me a chuckle, so I thought I'd share.

Okay, enough of that. Readers, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for making the release of A MILLION DIRTY SECRETS a dream come true!!! Please continue to tell all your friends about the book, and don't forget to leave those reviews! They really are that important!

Pinch Me, I'm Dreaming

So I'm a little late on this, but I still had to share. Look at whose mainstream debut made RT Magazine's September 2013 issue with the TOP PICK! for Erotic Romance!!!!!

Seriously, when I first saw it via a post to my street team, Parker Pimpin' Posse, by Chelle Olson, I was like . . .  

*Pay no attention to all themz chinz ;)*

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE . . .

Publisher's Weekly . . . THE Publisher's Weekly . . . had this to say about A MILLION DIRTY SECRETS:

“Smoldering sex scenes and a cliffhanger ending will have erotica fans panting for more.”—Publishers Weekly

Y'all really want to read it now, right? Please, oh please, oh please read it!!! And you can even get it a day before everyone else!!! True story.

For those of you who may not be aware, Random House (I still get a little giddy whenever I use their name because they're MY publishing house, what-what?!) is allowing Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Lexington, KY to do a book launch on 8/26/2013 at 7:00 PM EST, which is actually the day BEFORE the official release. I will be there to say a few words and try to make y'all want m'body . . . erm, that is to say my body of work. And I'll even sign it. P.S. I'll also be signing boobs, but cleavage only.

If you can't be there - or if you're a stalker (okay by me) - I'll also be making an appearance at Books-A-Million in Louisville, KY on 8/31/2013 at 3:00 PM EST.

And if that still isn't enough CLP for ya, you can catch me at ScareFest in Lexington, KY 9/13-15th. I'm not the only attraction there. Seriously, it's one of the nation's largest horror and paranormal conventions. I'm looking forward to the stargazing, myself.

But iffin' you can't make it to any of these places, no worries. You can pick up A MILLION DIRTY SECRETS from your neighborhood bookstore (and if they don't have it, you should totally demand they carry it), or you can order it online. In fact, you can pre-order both A MILLION DIRTY SECRETS and A MILLION GUILTY PLEASURES now!!! Just go to my website and scroll to the bottom for handy-dandy links to all your favorite retailers.

Stay tuned to this bat channel for more promotional goodness, headed your way. And as always, THANK YOU for your continued support! You have no idea how very much it means.
