Marci just sent out a bulletin about letting us know that there is a Father's Day special on at Freya's Bower. Just enter father in the coupon code box and get 30% off on any ebook orders over $7.50. So, say you buy Last Chance (grin) and then you buy the first two chapters of The Whispering House, that takes you up to $8.25. You'll get 30% off of the order with the total being $5.78. What a bargain! (grin)

So, hop on over to Freya's Bower and pick up your books today. (grin) The sale only lasts until June 16th.

An amazing interview.

The other day, Marci Baun, editor-in-chief of Freya's Bower, sent out a newsletter with a link to a fantastic podcast. If you haven't had the opportunity to listen to it, you must. She interviews Faith Bicknell-Brown, Freya's Bower's managing editor. It's incredible. And what's even better is that Marci sings in the music -- I think it's called a sting. I love the sting. So, now you can find them in two places:

Listen to it. You'll learn a lot.

Celebrity foreword...

While I probably won't donate a story for the D&D v.3 charity anthology, I am so excited for everyone who is. Next year's volume goes to a shelter in New Orleans that was destroyed in Katrina and hasn't been rebuilt. (Yes, what is it? Three years later?!!) In any case, we just heard from Marci, editor-in-chief of Freya's Bower, that she has secured a celebrity to write the foreword. However, she hasn't told us who yet. Isn't she a tease?! As soon as I know, I'll let you know.

I can't tell you how excited I am about this. It will bring greater visibility to this cause, more money, and help a lot of people.

Hi everyone!

It's been a while I know, but I wanted to post something about a chat that a few of my friends and fellow writers are having this weekend. Please go and see them!

Marci Baun, the editor in chief of Freya's Bower and Wild Child Publishing, and Rachel, the reviewer, sent me another good review. :) This time, it was for Last Chance, my first ever romance story. I was delightfully surprised at the review. Last Chance, released back in March 2006, has been reviewed a few times, most good, a few bad. (The bad helped to toughen up my skin, although not too much. :)) I remember my first bad review. I sat down and cried. Yeah. I did. I wondered whether I should even be writing or not. Well, for a few days anyway. (grin) After I'd wallowed in self-pity and had a few pep talks/kick in the pants from some good friends, I picked myself back up and started to write again. And here I am. Writing still. Hopefully, my writing has improved since that first story. :)

Well, this newest review is good. Yeah, it is. :) Made me happy. :) It' s not hard to make me happy, especially if you want to praise my writing. LOL Yes, yes, I do have a bit of an ego. I am an artiste, you know.

So, here is the review:

"Kit Wylde has weaved such a funny story of two people destined to be together... Ms. Wylde's style is easy to read and pulls you in on the first page. Last Chance is a perfect little book for a lazy afternoon..."

Thank you, Rachel, for a wonderful review and making my day. :)

The Whispering House: Book 2 was released last month. So far, there have been two very positive reviews for it, which made me smile. However, Book 3 has since come out, and again I have two more reviews. Guess what? One was really good; the other one blew my socks off. It's not online yet, but you can bet I'll be shouting about it as soon as it's available for all to see. Oh, and the reviewer likes Book 3 so much they are going to include it in their weekly newsletter and in a column on another site.

Now, peeps, I do write for me first and foremost, so these types of reviews should be just icing on the cake. Yeah, I know. I shouldn't be so excited about it, but you know, I've had my share of good and bad reviews and I have to say that I much prefer the good reviews. LOL If that makes me egotistical, then so be it. Well, actually, I think it just makes me human.


The reviewers have called this series frightening. It's meant to be. :) My goal has been to scare my editor, who is none other than M.E. Ellis the awesome psychological thriller/chick lit author and amazing editor/person. If I can make her nervous, that's a good thing. There is a romance element in it and a small sex scene so far. We have two hunky men interested in one woman. She will end up with one of them, but I won't say who, or that will spoil it for you. (grin) However, I do want to share the reviews. :)

Bear with me if I babble in my excitement. LOL

The second review, by Frost, for The Whispering House: Book 3 is marvelous and so flattering that it made my eyes tear up. I am not an emotional person, but this one really made my day. :) It's supposed to be online Friday some time. I'll be waiting impatiently for it so that I can share it with you too. :)

Okay. Time to scoot.

I stopped by a friend's blog today and read a very powerful story about the brutality of domestic violence. Lucky to have never experienced it myself, over time, you begin to recognize signs of abusive homes when you teach for long enough. Please go read M.E. Ellis's blog and then go pick up a copy of Dreams & Desires, Vol. 1. I am an author in this compilation of stories. All the stories were donated by the authors as was the editing and the cover art so that all the net proceeds can go to benefit a battered woman's shelter.

Freya's Bower is having a special on D&D until the end of October. All prices are drastically reduced. Perfect Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, gift to self or any other type of gift, this is the time to pick one up. :)

Most of us have either experienced domestic violence in some form or know someone who has. To stop this horrific disease, we must be proactive. We must educate, report and help support those who are trying to escape a potentially deadly situation. Help us end the violence.
