For Writers....Free Workshops at Borders Books in Scottsdale

Borders Books is working with local authors to put on a series of workshops beginning on June 30th, 7pm.  The series is called Writers Workshop Wednesdays, happening every Wednesday, and it is FREE.  :) 

I'm going to be kicking off the series with a workshop called, So you want to be a writer?  What to expect....  Look for more information coming, but in the meantime, mark your calendars!  I'll also be signing books after the workshop if you've missed me and would like to stop by--I'd love to see you!

Writing, writing, writing....

I have been uber-productive this weekend.  I finalized the proposal on my next series--just waiting for one little piece to come back from critique and then it's off.  Yahoo to that.  I'm now set to begin on my new Haunting Book and I'm asking for help.  I need some title suggestions. 

Book One: 
Haunting Beauty
Book Two: 
Haunting Warrior
Book Three: 
Haunting Desire
Book Four: 
Haunting.......

This is the big book that ties up all the whole series.  I know my readers are very creative so I thought I'd put it out there to you.  Have any ideas? 

Leave me a comment and I'll enter you to win one of my books--readers choice!  And if your title is chosen, I'll name a character in the book after you.  :)

And the winner is....

The winner of my Thank You To My Readers thank you gifts is....

Wanda Conley of Oklahoma City, OK!

Wanda has won a $50 bookstore gift card, 15 books--some autographed by authors, Haunting Warrior & Haunting Beauty mugs, Haunting Beauty mouse pad, Cerratas Chocolates and an Irish hearts necklace. I'll be posting a new Thank You Bonus soon so keep your eyes open! Congratulations, Wanda!

What's coming new and coming up....

Hi Everyone, lots happening in the next few weeks.  Today I'm over at Writerspace and I've posted the FIRST EVER excerpt from HAUNTING DESIRE and...yes, there is a giveaway.  :) 

I'll be spotlighting Kathryne Kennedy next week and her new (fabulous!!!) novel, The Fire Lord's Lover.  I was lucky enough to pre-read this one and I absolutely loved, loved, LOVED it.

I've also got Renee Bernard coming with her next installment in the Jaded Gentlemen series.  Renee writes smoking hot books and is one of my favorite authors. 

Erin Kellison, debut author of Shadow Bound will be stopping by to talk about her new series which begins release this summer.

And one of my favorite people, Amber Scott, author of Play Fling, will be guest starring later this summer.

Don't forget, next week the FREE workshops at Borders begin.  Details here:  http://quinnessentials.blogspot.com/2010/06/for-writersfree-workshops-at-borders.html

I've got 4 books to plot this weekend.  Gasp.  Better get busy!
