In celebration of All Hallow’s Eve, Ellora’s Cave has discounted all of their vampire ebooks 15% until October 31st! That’s right those nocturnal sexy beasts that we all love have been slashed and ready to move people!
So, if you haven’t picked up my ode to the vampire romance, Charmed, featuring a sexy British vampire and a firecracker of a heroine from the deep south here’s your opportunity!
I got in on Friday evening about an hour before the Psychadelic 60s party. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of people who’d shown up and delighted about our gift bags, which were these nice light weight tie-dye numbers that were a welcome depature from all the computer-type bags I’ve collected from several conferences over the years.

Well after settling in, I hurried up and dressed for Friday night’s party which was a 60s themed Psychadelic party which at first I was pretty aprehensive about since the whole hippie/flower child thing sort of evaded me until the 13th hour.
At first the party started out pretty slow, but then as you know with any EC party everyone threw off their inhabitions and prediliction for shyness and got on the dance floor. Can I just say that the party was a blast. From the dance by EC’s new cover models to the dance contest hosted by Samantha Kane and Mary Freeman.

Check back for more pictures and updates on the great workshops I went to and how I stalked Sherri King and bought Fetish for the 5th time!
Spend an evening with the authors of Scribes Unleashed as we chat with multi published author LENA MATTHEWS on Thursday, September 17 @ 6PM EDT in the Scribes Unleashed Yahoo Group.
It’s official…I’m going to Romanticon 2009!
What exactly is Romanticon you may ask? Well, Romanticon is Ellora Cave’s inaugural reader’s convention, which seemed to sprout from a need to be around more people who appreciate and support romantica.
The convention will be a three day event where reader’s will be able to meet their favorite authors and cover models. Aspiring writers can take two days of workshops on everything from what genre’s are hot right now, how to write BDSM romances, how to perfect your online persona, to having their story’s critiqued by an editor or author. And authors can meet readers in Sunday’s booksigning.
I’m pretty excited, since all the EC people are so cool to be around, plus its my birthday weekend and I usually take a trip (last year I went to Berlin and Prague) so why not Ohio…whoo hoo!
So, if you’re interested in attending, visit Ellora Cave’s Convention website at http://www.jasminejade.com/romanticon.
