Well, now that my next novel RIPTIDE has a cover, the only thing I’m waiting for is the Spanish text to get the okay, so I can get the file formatted and set the book’s release date, etc., etc. But these things are out of my hands, of course. They’ll happen when they happen, right?

But … since February is creeping up like a cheap pair of drawers, I thought I’d take the opportunity to tell you about the launch.

Basically, it’s going to work similarly to the one I did for LEAST WANTED, as described here.

Thing is that was a print book launch that took place over the course of one day. This launch will take place over the course of one week and involve a drawing for giveaways based on how high RIPTIDE ranks.

Plus there will be a charity tie-in, based upon the Amazon ranking achieved.

But wait! There’s even more!

I’m going to make this apply to the Amazon ranking, whether it be on Amazon.com or Amazon UK. How about that? :)

And I’m going to give away my books, both e and print to readers here in the US and across the pond, who enter their names into a random drawing. What do you think of them apples?

Ha ha ha … sorry, I couldn’t resist. ;)

As to the charity, I’ve picked the Dalai Lama’s Mind & Life Institute. There are particular reasons I picked that group, which I will explain in my next post.

In the meantime, rest assured. The book is coming. I just don’t have an exact date. Yet.

Esta Susana en casa?

Si, esta con una amiga.

Donde esta? En la sala?

No, en la cocina.

Now, how hard was that? :)

PS: Sorry I’m too stupid to figure out how to make the upside-down question marks or accent marks, if any accents are required. :( That’s why I need a translator. For these teeny little things, that smarter people who know Spanish will ream me out for if I don’t catch them. Ay caramba! (sp?)
