Current project: I’m working on a sequel to Pale Immortal, my September 5 release. The manuscript is due December 1, and at this moment I’m trying to get the first draft completed by August 22.
What happens August 22? I’m co-hosting a cool, cool, cool writing contest at The Clarity of Night.
Anyone can enter, so please check it out!
Once that’s finished I begin a month of book signings, conferences, travel, and hanging out. I start with a signing in my hometown of Burlington, Iowa, at the beginning of September, and wrap up October 2 in Madison, Wisconsin, where I’ll be attending Bouchercon, the HUGE international mystery conference, Never been to Bouchercon before, so this will be interesting.
But wait! That’s not all!
I started my personal blog about a year and a half ago at the suggestion of my editor. Didn’t want to. Had no interest in it. Didn’t believe in any kind of self-promotion. Now I’ve actually been dubbed the internet magpie. I kid you not. This is because once I decide to do something, I go a little crazy. Ask anybody here. Hehe.
So anyhoo, I have few blogs. You might want to visit some of them.
STATIC: This is my personal blog where I tend to blog about whatever is on my mind. I also have a big mouth and have been known to bitch about industry topics some writers think of as taboo. This pisses people off -- which in itself can be highly entertaining. I have a ton of great links. Several are romance, but most are crime fiction and suspense oriented.
Immediate project:
PROJECT PIMP SQUAD, or more politely called 100 BLOGGERS BLOGGING. I came up with this concept about a month ago. I’m trying to get 100 bloggers to blog about Pale Immortal on September 5. A virtual party. It is going to be a blast, so join us if you can.
If you are interested in being part of this project (OH, PLEASE, PLEASE!) you can email me at annefrasier@comcast.net and I’ll put you in the PIMP SQUAD email address book and send the posting info to you, or you can simply go to my blog a few days before September 5 to get all of the information. I will also be posting it here on September 5. Right now I have about 50 firm commitments, so I’m halfway to my goal.
PALE IMMORTAL blog: This has been recently updated and contains an intro to the book, the first chapter, a five-minute book video, and some photos and text to spark the imagination. Please check it out!!
MADAME SOSOSTRIS: another one of my blogs. I know. I’m insane. Madame S does tarot readings, but half the time she’s in rehab.
When do I have time to write? I don’t. Gotta do something about that when I get home in October.
