Release Day - Restless In Peaceville in Print! #YA #paranormal #zombies

It's the official release day for the print version of Restless In Peaceville. I'm back in print, baby! You can now pick up my adorable zombies in gloriously gory paperback from Lycaon Press and all Amazon sites. And why should you? Well, if you like Warm Bodies and Supernatural, this could be the book for you. Set in the rich and swampy depths of Louisiana, this was the hardest book I've every written and one that I'm the most proud of. Not enough? Check out the blurb below, and then you can always pop over to Goodreads to see what the reviewers have said. (psst, for UK peeps at least, you'll get a better deal buying the book direct from my publisher than from Amazon).

Blurb:

Luke Chester has had enough. He's the school geek, the girls laugh at him, he's lost his dead-end job at the pizza place, and in the midst of the world's messiest divorce his parents don't even know he exists. An overdose of his mom's tranquilizers and a stomach full of whiskey should solve all his problems... 

But they don't. Instead, Luke finds himself booted out of the afterlife for not dying a natural death, with nowhere to go but back to his recently vacated corpse and reality. How the hell is he going to pass for one of the living without someone trying to blow his brains out for being one of the undead? 

And it just gets worse. He's got to fight his own desperate craving to consume the living, evade the weird supernatural hunter who's having a field day with the new undeads rising, and there's this creepy black shadow following him around. Add to that the distraction of female fellow undead Annabelle burning to avenge her own murder, and clearly there's no rest for the wicked. Jeez, all he wanted to do was R.I.P.

Adorable #Zombies in #Print #YA #paranormal

I'm so excited! Today the print edition of my YA zombie novella went on pre-order at my publisher's site. This is my first book in print since my debut novel went OUT of print in August last year. Much as I love ebooks (I have over 300 on my Kindle), there's nothing like a print book. And especially a print book that you wrote yourself.

So now you have the chance to get what my editor called an 'adorable' zombie story to put on a real shelf instead of a virtual one, or as my cover artist put it, have it in the 'flesh'. :P

Not sure if you'd like it? Think of it as Warm Bodies meets Supernatural in Louisiana. You can also check out excerpts HERE and HERE, or see what others had to say about it over on Goodreads.

Winner for Keir's Birthday Bash - Pendant

The winner of the blue crystal star pendant as part of Keir's First Book Birthday Bash is Laura Z Banks. Congrats Laura! But in the meantime you can still visit my fellow party hosts and pick up a cool blue recipe, and the Goodreads giveaway for a print copy of Keir remains open until the end of May. Enjoy!

Keir's First Book Birthday Bash

Today Keir is one year old. Woo hoo! A whole year since I first became published with Lyrical Press Inc. and officially became an author (in my mind, anyway). To celebrate, I’m holding a virtual birthday bash with a few friends being my party hosts. Each host will be posting a blue themed recipe to tie in with my beloved Blue Demon Keir, and you can hop along to each by following the links below. And there are prizes! Wanna see?

Pretty, huh? And as well as the beautiful blue crystal star pendant, there’s also a print copy of my debut novel Keir up for grabs via Goodreads. There will also be an extra special mystery gift for one person who comments on the host blogs, shhhh! Want to know more? Jump to any of the host sites below to find out! Have fun. ;)

Third Anniversary and a Giveaway!

Goodreads Book Giveaway

Keir

by Pippa Jay

Giveaway ends September 17, 2012.

See the giveaway details
at Goodreads.

Enter to win

Keir is three years old today! Yay! Well, I say three years old. Three years ago today I sat at my computer, an old unfinished short story clutched in hand, and started to turn it into the 100K story that became my first published full length work. And to celebrate, I have actual print copies to give away! Yep, the print format released this month too, giving me double the reason for a party. So, what do you have to do?

Well, I'm running one giveaway through Goodreads. All you need to do it click on the Enter to Win button on the widget above to check out the giveaway rules and enter. I'm offering it internationally, and the giveaway runs for one month, from the 17th August to the 17th September. So please spread the word!

The second way to win a copy, and one signed with a bookmark to boot, is to leave a comment below with a way to contact you, and telling me your favourite way to celebrate a special occassion. Please tell me if you want it signed, and to whom, as you wish. This contest will close on the 29th August, and the winner chosen using random.org. The winner will be notified and announced on the 30th, as I'll be taking part in the Romancing the Hop blog Hop from the 31st. There'll be another giveaway of a $10 Amazon or B&N gift card up for grabs then, and a rare interview with Keir himself. You've no idea how difficult it is to pin him down for a chat. :D

I can't tell you how excited I am to be celebrating such a fantastic double. Coming so far in those three years, and holding a print copy of my book. You should hear the squeeing worldwide!

Pre-order the Print Copy of Keir

Last week my publisher - Lyrical Press Inc - announced the relaunch of print editions, fronted by Keir and Hard Core. I didn't have a formal date for release other than October, but after checking links and buttons last Sunday on the website I'm designing for myself, I made a fabulous discovery. You can now pre-order the print version of Keir on Barnes & Noble here! They're also listing the release date as the 28th October. Woo hoo!

I was surprised, to be sure. It's such a buzz to see it up there, although it's probably not the way you'd expect to find out that kind of information, lol. But I'm not complaining. October will come round quickly enough. In the meantime I can start thinking about doing a mini tour to celebrate and offering up a print version as a prize. :)
