I read an interesting article about reader posses yesterday. It's sort of the modern day equivalent of a fan club. I think it's a cool idea (and not just because I love the idea of having a posse, LOL), but because it makes sense in today's world where word of mouth is often the best advertising. Basically, you have a select group of readers/fans who get copies of your books in advance, on the agreement that they will read it, then blog about it/talk about it/spread the word. I have a few friends who do this just because they like my books, but think having an official "posse" is a cool idea.



What do you think? Would you be interested in something like that?


And on another note, my newest Riverbend book is out in stores today! It's always cool to go to the grocery store and see my book on the shelves! And if you notice, the price at Meijer (which is where I was today) is reduced, just like at Wal-Mart. A bargain! And a great stocking stuffer if I say so myself!

For those of you who have loved the Riverbend books, this is Livia's story (who made a quick appearance in ). Edward, the banquet hall owner is also back, but not the man he was months before, after a tragedy that deeply impacted him. And reader favorites Earl and Betsy are back as well, and getting a little spice in their romance ;-)

For an , and (available in stores everywhere and in Nook, Kindle, etc.).

Hope you all are keeping warm wherever you are! We're supposed to get our first snowfall of the year this afternoon, but they swear it's not going to stick. :-)
