The following awesomeness is by Sable Grey . Fantastic job!! (Notice that I’m in there twice? :D)

In this crappy economy, everyone is looking to save a buck. Well, now you can get SOLDIER for just over $2 at Fictionwise — this week only!  If you haven’t bought it yet, now might be a good time to check it out.

Click here to head to Fictionwise.

Ok. So if you follow me on MySpace or Twitter , you already know about these. Still, I feel compelled to share them on my blog…the trailers for my two upcoming books.

You know, I think I’m starting to get the hang of making them.

My prayers to the families who lost someone on the day we will never forget.

Whee!!! It’s release day for Morgan Sierra. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES is available now! Head on over to Cobblestone Press for the full excerpt as well as purchase info. Head on over to my Bookshelf to see a partial excerpt, the video trailer and other freebies. (I’m getting better at making those things!)

And don’t forget, if you’re signed up for my newsletter by August 31st, you are automatically entered for a chance to win a free copy of this short story. Additionally, you can head over to Cobblestone’s Chat Room tonight at 8pm EST for a chance at winning a copy there.

Y’all read it and tell me what you think, k?

You can’t help but notice all over this site the opportunity to sign up for my monthly newsletter. Well, the August edition is now available. Be certain to check out the new contract, new contest and exclusive excerpt information available within. If you’re a subscriber (if you’re not, now’s your chance), you can access the file at the URL: http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/deecarneywrites/files/ Aug08%20Newsletter.pdf .

If you’re only tempted to take a look by signing up, but are afraid of a lot of extra emails, don’t be. I like my once a month rule and so far have been pretty darn good about sticking to it.

BTW, did I mention that every time I have a new release (woot woot!), my subscribers are automatically entered into a drawing to win a free copy? Well now you know.

As you know, the very talented Dan Skinner created the cover for SOLDIER. Please head on over to http://www.erinaislinn.com/BookCoveroftheMonth.htm to vote it as Cover of the Month! Click a link, send an email and voila, with a little luck and Dan’s skill, my book will get cover of the month. More explicit instructions can be found on the web site.

Voting is until August 31st, so head over there now!

(Remember those Bartles and Jaymes’ commercials from the 80’s?) Thanks for your support.

Den of Iniquity (24K)…Done

The Craft of the Wise: Book of Shadows (14K)…Done

The Craft of the Wise: Divination (name subject to be changed!)…Started!

All in less than two weeks. How do you ask? WORD WARS! Don’t know what a word war (WW) is? Well, lemme explain…

A group of us (can be just one other person, but usually ends up being almost dozen people total) get together via instant message conference room. One person is time keeper. When the time keeper types “Go”, you type. And type and type and type…

At the end of 30 minutes, the time keeper lets everyone know time is up. (Thirty minutes is just an arbitrary time. We’ve done 15 minute WWs before too.) Everyone posts how many words they managed to type in that time span. I’ve seen the numbers go from zero (usually by a distracted or just editing author!) up to the thousands. It’s not a competition despite what you may think. No matter how few or many words one types, everyone gets cheered on for progress. Sometimes we post excerpts from what we’ve just typed with the understanding that everything is in draft form. All passive voice, typos, etc. are ignored. That’s what edits are for.

WW is a fabulous way to get word counts up. And we are pretty hard core about it. I try to start a room from the time I finish my daily Internet chores around 11 or 12. The latest I’ve personally been up doing it, has been 1:30 am. I know of others who stay up all night WWing. I think I have created some WW addicts!

Come find me on IM and join in, will ya? There’s only one rule: Pee On Your Own Time. lol
