Let’s get this party started!
|
Woohooo!! At long, LONG last, it is the official release day of Goddess of the Hunt. I am tempted to go into a long, sappy speech thanking everyone I’ve ever met – but truthfully, it’s 1 AM over here and I’m dead tired! That speech will have to wait. (Plus, it’s in the Acknowledgments. See page 361.)
I do want to tell you about some fun stuff I’m doing today to celebrate. And as with any good party, there are prizes involved!
I’ll be guest-blogging today at Romance Vagabonds about the timely topic of friendship–both in romance novels and behind-the-scenes of their creation. The post isn’t live yet as I write this, but I understand there will be prizes up for grabs!
The lovely Vauxhall Vixens also threw me a virtual surprise party to celebrate the release. If you want to read the words of overly generous friends saying completely gushy things about me, by all means, click over.
And last but not least, over at Courtney Milan‘s blog, she explains the day-long Goddess of the Hunt Twitter Talk contest. She’s giving away copies of my book, as well as some of the other fabulous historicals releasing today. All you have to do is get on twitter, use the hashtag #tessadare, and make patently outrageous assertions about GOTH and/or its characters. Elyssa Papa takes an early lead with this hilarious pic of President Obama holding “GotH”. See Courtney’s blog for specifics.
And somewhere in there, if you find time to actually order, purchase, and/or read the book, that would be awesome, too. 🙂
Thank you everyone, for making this day so very special!

Happy release day! A friend loaned me an ARC and I read it in one sitting. Tessa, you are now one of my auto-buy authors. I also bought a copy today with the beautiful red cover. Since I “met” you during Avon Fanlit, I feel like I knew you when (I was pollyanna during the contest). Huge congrats and I can’t wait till next month and the next!

Happy Release Day! I absolutely can’t wait to read this book. We’re going out for dinner, and I may force the whole group to stop by Borders after so I can grab a copy. If not, I’ll be getting it tomorrow!

Hi Tessa,
Congratulations. You don’t know me. I saw a review for GotH on Library Journal and had to go get it last night. The one I bought at Borders was the last one they had. So far, I LOVE it. Good luck!
A new fan,
CJ
