Last year I was a supporting author at GRL and as swag, I gathered up a bunch of the other supporting authors and together we created an excerpt book. It was a free paperback that contained snippets of stories from most of the authors who attended, given out during the signing. It was an amazing success (if I do say so myself). Readers loved it because it gave them a peek at the writing style of authors they may not have heard of before, and the authors loved it because it brought readers to their table who might not have stopped by otherwise.

This year, although I won’t be able to make it to the conference, I wanted to do it again, but bigger and better than ever. Last year we had 17 participating authors. This year we have more than 80. There was such a huge response that I had to divide it into two books, so there will be different copies at the supporting author signing and the featured author signing.

To celebrate, we will be doing a cover reveal through Pride Promotions on September 24th. L.C. Chase designed the cover last year and this year and I have to say I think it’s beautiful.

So look out for the cover reveal the Wednesday after next, and if you’re going to be at GRL, make sure you pick up a copy of each and have the stories signed by all the authors. It’s such a fantastic keepsake, and only available at GRL!
