Book Expo America 2013

Book Expo America – or BEA – is the biggest trade show for books and publishing in the US. It’s held each year in New York. This year, it’s May 29 to June 1 and will be at the Jacob Javitz Center, as usual.

And I’ll be there! I’m going to be in the KOBO booth as part of their Meet the Author program. My spot is from 11:00 to 12:00 on Saturday, June 1. The KOBO booth is #967.

I’ll also be stopping by the Romance Writers of America booth during the day. They’ll be in booth #951.

Saturday is the day that BEA is open to the public. You can attend as a Power Reader for just $49, which is an awesome deal. This is new since the last time I attended the show and the details are right here.

If you’re going to be at the show, please stop by and say hello. I think it’s going to be fun!

Review for Kiss of Danger at the Reading Cafe

Kiss of Danger by Deborah Cooke, first of the Dragon Legion trilogy of novellas

Sandy has posted a review of KISS OF DANGER at her blog, the Reading Cafe, right here.

Thanks, Sandy!

Digital Book Files

Well, the Herculean task is complete. All of my book files have been professionally formatted and uploaded again to all of the vendor sites. Twenty-four titles and seven sites! Yikes – I’m glad it’s done!

The updated editions are live at most sites, with two big exceptions:

1. Overdrive is still processing the new files for their Content Reserve site. That will probably take another two weeks. The Overdrive feed goes to Waterstones in the UK and Books-A-Million in the States, as well as others, so I’d count on that taking another couple of weeks beyond that. You’ll know the update has happened to the titles that have been listed there already, because the new titles I’ve uploaded will be available at the same time. Those titles include The Renegade’s Heart, The Countess and the Coxwell series.

2. Apple’s quality control process can take two weeks. They review each file before making the book available for sale. At this moment, the three books in The Bride Quest II trilogy and that Boxed Set, the three Rogues of Ravensmuir books and that Boxed Set, and the four time travel romances and that Boxed Set are sitting in the queue. I’ve asked Smashwords to take down their versions, so it’s likely the books will disappear from the Apple site completely before the new editions appear.

And now, onward to new books!

Kiss of Danger Released!

And there goes Alexander, out into the world!

This is the first of the Dragon Legion Novellas. There will be three in total, and each will be published digitally first. After the third one is published, they’ll be gathered into an anthology, which will be available in a digital edition and also in trade paperback.

The excerpt is right here.

Other buy links are coming – Apple is slow this week – but these ones are live now!
