A Post Of Pimpery
Yeah, I know I said only 2% of one’s posts should be marketing. It’s just that there’s so much stuff going on lately. And to be fair, I like to market for others as well as my own sweet self.
* You can read the first Jill Kismet novel, Night Shift, online for free here, as part of the OpenAccess program.
* And if you want an e-copy for your very own, it will cost you a WHOLE DOLLAR during the month of August. That’s right–Orbit’s OneDollar is live for Night Shift this whole month.
* As always, you can contact Cover to Cover Books if you want signed and personalized copies of any of my books. They’re indie and very polite, too.
Now for the pimping of other authors!
* Jeff Somers has a neat Choose Your Own Adventure thing going on to celebrate the release of his new book, The Eternal Prison. I LOVE Jeff’s Avery Cates series. Avery is a hero after my own black, twisted little heart.
* I got a copy of Joe Abercrombie’s newest, Best Served Cold. Go ahead, be jealous. Abercrombie’s The First Law series is right up there with Jacqueline Carey’s Kushiel series in my estimation, as one of the best things to happen to fantasy in the last decade.
* Speaking of which, I SO WANT Carey’s newest, Santa Olivia. I’ve been a good girl. Really I have.
* How could I engage in pimpery without mentioning my good buddy and favorite erotica author (and that’s saying something) Nina Merrill? Her latest, Scarred, was so, so awesome. I mean, there was this desk scene, and… *blushes* Never mind. Just, you know, give her a read. Wow.
* Kat Richardson‘s newest Greywalker book, Vanished, is now out. Buy it, read it, love it. I love Kat, and her books ain’t bad either.
* Speaking of Team Seattle, Mark Henry’s latest Amanda Feral, Road Trip Of The Living Dead, is pure grossout hilarity. I love the Amanda Feral books.
And now for something completely different. You guys, I have a confession to make. I am hopelessly addicted to the Harriet Carter catalog. We used to get them when I was a little girl and I was always fascinated, paging through them. I have yet to buy anything, I’m just…inappropriately consumed with interest at the very thought of Harriet Carter. Just…everything in that catalog is so weird and gadget-y.
There, that’s my shameful secret for the day. It’s a good way to wrap up a pimpery post.

Go ahead, be bad. Santa Olivia is so VERY worth it. Loup Garron is up there in the realms of chicks who rock. You’ll be happy you were bad.
And the other new one from Carey, Namah’s Kiss, looooved it. Also, so very worth the naughty.

I was doing just fine until you mentioned Harriet Carter. Oh, the POETRY. The so very bad, too-cutesy, too-clever-by-half POETRY for all the odds and ends. I used to read that catalog from cover to cover, but only after I’d re-read all the Nancy Drew books, first. Limited reading at my grandparents’ house, but I did have most of my priorities straight.
Never bought anything myself, either, come to think of it.

I just finished reading Redemption Alley not 2 minutes ago. I stayed up all night to finish it because I couldn’t put it down. Jill just keeps kicking more and more ass with every book. Absolutely amazing and I’m so ready for Flesh Circus now!
