Vampire Babylon by author Chris Marie Green

Latest News: February 2012

Phew. As you know, the end of 2011 was busy, what, with the bam-bam-bam releases of the Bloodlands books and all the events that went with them! I want to thank you all for coming to those giveaways, and most of all for supporting the series. I still don’t know yet if there’ll be more to come from the New Bloodlands, but that’s one of the reasons I’m writing to you....

Remember last year, when I had all those releases? Well, you’ll find that the 2011 scheduling has affected the amount of Christine Cody and Chris Marie Green books I’ll have out this year, LOL. At this point, my release schedule isn’t even solid—but you know me. I hate to just sit around for news when I could be writing. As I anticipate word on three different series ideas (Stress! ), I’m also working on some independent digital releases, and I’m very excited about what’s in store. Now, I can’t announce any of those projects just yet, but I want you to know that I’m hoping to have something out there this year, whether it’s new urban fantasy on platforms like Kindle or Smashwords or continuations of old stories! So please, please, please don’t think I’ve disappeared.

You can stay updated by connecting to my Twitter account and/or Facebook (Chris Marie Green and Christine Cody). I still have my blog running, as well as my newsletter from both the www.bloodlands.net and the www.chrismariegreen.com sites. Rest assured, it’s going to be a fun future, and I want to keep writing for you. In fact, I’m really pumped about the possibilities for digital publishing, as well as print!

In addition to writing, I’m going to be busy with a burst of appearances during February and the first part of March. I hope I get to see some of you at them! Here’s the schedule:

February 18, Saturday, 10:15, San Diego: world building panel at the San Diego RWA chapter meeting with Jillian Stone (ANAFFAIR WITH MR. KENNEDY) http://rwasd.com/chapterMeetings.html

February 25, Saturday, 8:30-3:30, Long Beach, CA: Passion and Prose reader’s event (check out the web site—Christina Dodd, Meg Cabot, and Gail Carriger are headlining, and there’ll be about 50 authors who are dying to meet you, including me!) http://www.passionandprose.org/

March 2 – 4, Friday – Sunday, San Diego: ConDor convention (panels to be announced, but please check the site for updates at http://www.condorcon.org )

March 10 – 11, Saturday – Sunday, Tucson, AZ: Tucson Festival of Books. One panel Saturday (2:30, “Who Loves You Baby? Embracing the Bad Boy Hero”) and one Sunday (10:00, “Villains, Vixens, Vipers: The Role of Evildoers”) http://tucsonfestivalofbooks.org/

I especially encourage you to check out Passion and Prose as soon as you can. It’s the first annual event, and it’s put on by the amazing Mysterious Galaxy book store, so it’s sure to be fantastic. You get to do “speed dating” with authors, which is going to give you lots of one-on-one time! To assure yourself a spot, you can sign up at www.passionandprose.org!

Here’s to a spectacular 2012—I look forward to celebrating every success with you and, again, please bear with me as I kick new, exciting projects into gear.
