a few notes and links gathered together

The great Debut Authorpalooza is finally over at Staffer's Book Reviews (and occasional musings). I would like to take a moment to thank Justin for putting the event together and making it such fun for authors and readers alike. You can read Justin's summation here.

There is still time to enter for a signed copy of your favorite author's novel and be entered into the Grand Prize Giveaway. The deadline is August 12. Justin explains the rules here.

So who was there? Check out the index of authors, blog posts, and excerpts.

You can read my guest post, Throwing Down the Gauntlet and Chapter One of The Garden.

The VERY big AMA on Reddit was a blast, and you can read it here.

I'll be around, putting the final polish on The Garden (beta readers are a-reading) and working on an interview and a guest post for two wonderful ladies. More on them and their blogs later.
