Ok, ok, I know I already have a thread for Shuttered, but I'm sure you're all bored with it and have stopped looking there, so ha! Tricked you. ;)

This Sunday at 4pm EST, 9pm UK time, I will be having a 'Meet the Author' event on Dreamspinner's Facebook page. (Link to event) It'll be going on for two hours. And I will be giving away a free copy of Shuttered to one commenter!

Then, Tuesday 23rd, I will be having a pre-release blog party on Dreamspinner's blog. This'll be going on throughout the day, so stop by and have a look. I'll be doing several different blog posts about my writing, what inspires me, what I'm working on and uh... whatever else I can think of. I may also be giving away another free copy of Shuttered! Oooooooh!

Then, in the evening (9pm UK time, 4pm EST) of Tuesday, I will be taking over Dreamspinner's Twitter feed to continue the party. This will be an hour long event, so please come along for a chinwag!

If there's anything any of you guys would like to know/hear about during these events, let me know and I'll get it in there. :)

Oh, and finally, for anybody writing romance, I cannot recommend Dreamspinner Press highly enough. They've been amazing.
 
Will there be giveaways on Twitter? I don't have a Facebook account and, apologies, but I won't be getting one any time soon. I do use Twitter though, as you know. I can make Tuesday at 2100.

In truth, however, I may not have much to say. It takes me forever to think of something witty, or even halfway intelligent-sounding. Usually by the time I have done so, the session is over. But, yay! Go Mouse! :)
 
Big thank you to you three for replying! I'm starting to think everybody hates me here, as nobody says anything to me anymore!

Aber - probably no giveaway on Twitter as I wouldn't know how to do that. The blog isn't anything to do with Facebook though, so you don't need to sign up to Facebook for that and I'm doing a giveaway there. :)
 
I'll try to check out the Sunday FB event

It is really cool they do these kinds of things. I hope it helps promote the hell out of the book!
 
I hope so too, ratsy! What is weird (maybe not?) is that for the first time I have more followers on Twitter than people I'm following. Ah, the dizzy heights!

I've spent some time today writing up my blog posts for Tuesday's pre-release party as I'm actually working right up until Christmas day so I'll be in the office and won't have much time. I'll be talking about ghosts, and dogs, and locations used in the story.
 
The dizzy heights of stardom. I'm sure you will do great and get a bunch more followers :)
 
Well, I know how to work facebook, so I'll try and get along for that one. Just signed up to twitter today, who knows what might happen? Good luck with all these events, Mouse - it all helps, and I know 2015 is going to be amazing for you.
 
Cheers, dude!

Just a quick reminder that 9pm (UK time) I'll be on Dreamspinner's Facebook page, chatting away. I've already got a few posts lined up so I can chill out. If you have a look on Dreamspinner's page now, you'll see they've already Shutteredified it! Which is pretty cool.

I did try and stop by, but unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to join the chat.
 
It wasn't easy to find, actually, or to follow. I'm not sure how user-friendly facebook is for these sort of things? I looked in a few times and things seemed to be going swimmingly. :)
 
It just worked the same way as Facebook works in general. No different. I guess if you're not used to FB it might be weird, but otherwise, it was exactly the same. Bit different from my end as I was posting as admin of the page, so you see different things (there's 'activity' instead of notifications, for example). But yeah, was pretty busy! And fun. I was told not to post more than two main status updates per hour and I thought to myself it wasn't much, but by the time you've chatted to everyone commenting you realise that it's plenty!

Hopefully good stuff will come out of it. Dreamspinner's FB page has over 32k likes, and on each post you do it shows you how many people you've 'reached' and mine were topping out at over 700 people and that was only in the two hours I was there, so god knows what it says now! I had a look this morning and noticed more people have commented since, and now I feel bad that I can't reply!

But thanks for stopping by, those of you who did. I spied ratsy there too. :D
 
Ah, that was you!

Today I will be on Dreamspinner's blog, where I will be giving away another copy of Shuttered. I'm going to get on there when I finish work today and probably set up some timed posts (if I can work out how!) so I can concentrate on replying to comments and whatnot.

Then, at 4pm EST, 9pm GMT today I will be taking over their Twitter account. :)
