Good Morning,
I received this e-mail this morning from one of my favorite authors, Stephanie Bond. I've had the opportunity to be a part of three of her workshop classes. I've sponsored her in her 1/2 marathon runs by donating to an organization called "First Book". I've read and collected as many of her books that are still in print. She is an amazing author, her books are funny as well as filled with romance. Her books written for Harlequin Blaze are hot and spicy.
If you have a book reader, please download her books if you are looking for a good read please look for her books at your local bookstore, you won't be disappointed.
If your a writer in progress like myself, her website www.stephaniebond.com has a section for advice for writers. Great information on writing and publishing.
Please take advantage of this offer.
Until next, time "Remember Who You Are"
Breaking News (and a FREE book)!
Dear Reader,
I'm very pleased to let you know that TODAY AND TOMORROW ONLY, you can download my book IN DEEP VOODOO absolutley FREE!
In the funny romantic mystery IN DEEP VOODOO, a woman stabs a voodoo doll of her lying, cheating ex-husband...but when he winds up stabbed to death, she knows she's landed IN DEEP VOODOO! (By the way, my sister and I made the voodoo doll pictured on the cover, but don't worry--no men were harmed in the process...that we know of.)
Click here to download a FREE copy of IN DEEP VOODOO!
Why is only the Kindle version being offered for free? Because Amazon is better about offering deals and incentives to publishers to be able to offer books for free...if you have a Nook or other ereader device, or prefer to download ebooks from Apple, know that other ebook retailers are watching Amazon's marketing programs and will hopefullybegin to offer similar incentives. The good news is you don't have to own a Kindle in order to read Kindle books! You can download the free Kindle reading application onto your laptop/PC, iPad, or Smartphone and read Kindle books there! Here's a link to the Kindle reading applications to get you started:

News and updates
It seems as if my entire writing career has unfolded in fits and spurts...I might have a year where I have only one or two books released, then the next year, I have several. That's mostly been due to my pubishers' schedules, but it also has to do with what I'm working on and how long it takes me to write the books. I know some of you have been frustrated in the past with series of mine that were ended prematurely, and delays between books in series, but thankfully, due to recent events in the book industry, more power has flowed back to authors to allow us to control our content and our release schedule. Hurray! I was sidelined for several months in 2010-2011 by a serious illness (no worries, I'm fine now), and I've spent the better part of the last year positioning myself to be able to move forward with my series on my own terms, so while I haven't had a lot of new books released recently, I'm poised for an avalanche of releases in the upcoming year! Here's what you can expect:
The BODY MOVERS series: First, no new developments on the TV series. The excellent pilot script (written by the writers who wrote RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, by the way) will be shopped again this fall to TV networks, many of which have new buying regimes, so I remain hopeful that a network will pick it up! I'll keep you posted. Actually, if it happens, you'll probably hear the scream from Atlanta.
Hopefully, you've had a chance to download the new BODY MOVERS e-novella, 6 ½ BODY PARTS?! Carlotta Wren has always wondered what her life would've been like if her parents hadn't fled town and left her to raise her younger brother Wesley...and now, through a twist of fate, she's about to find out!
6 ½ BODY PARTS is available for your Kindle, Nook, Kobo, and on iTunes for only 99 cents! (This BODY MOVERS e-novella is not available in print or audio due to its shorter length.) For your convenience, here are order links:
Click here to order 6 1/2 BODY PARTS for your Kindle.
Click here to order 6 1/2 BODY PARTS for your Nook.
Click here to order 6 1/2 BODY PARTS for your Kobo.
Click here to order 6 1/2 BODY PARTS from iTunes.
What's next for BODY MOVERS? I'm working on 7 BRIDES FOR 7 BODIES to be released later this year in both print and ebook. I've been asked how many books the series will have and the truth is, I'm not sure. There will be at least 8 books, but now that I'm not constrained by the publisher's whims, I wouldn't mind going on to 10 books or more! As long as you want more BODY MOVERS books, I'll keep writing them. Thanks so very much for your patience while I wrestled back control of the series!
______________________________
The VOODOO series: Similar to the BODY MOVERS series, I had to work to regain control of this series, which was originally planned to be a 4-book series, but was ended prematurely by my publisher after the first two books IN DEEP VOODOO and FINDING YOUR MOJO were released. Please note that I've re-released both books as ebooks, retitling the second book BACK to my original title of VOODOO OR DIE in keeping with the unremarkable idea of having "voodoo" in every title. (The publisher advertised the second book as VOODOO OR DIE, then changed the title at the last minute; honestly, with all the bizarre decisions made by print publishers, no wonder they're in trouble.) ANYWAY, I will be releasing the next two books in the voodoo series sometime in 2013...was planning to release at least one this year, but other projects have nudged them aside. I'm working hard, folks.

The SOUTHERN ROADS series. Here are the current and planned stories and books in the SOUTHERN ROADS romance series about the Armstrong brothers who rebuild their hometown in the mountains of Georgia after it was destroyed by a tornado ten years ago:
“BABY, I’M YOURS” FREE prequel e-novella
BABY, DRIVE SOUTH full-length book 1
BABY, COME HOME full-length book 2
BABY, DON’T GO full-length book 3
“BABY, I’M BACK” novella in SEAL OF MY DREAMS, a 20-author anthology (all proceeds to benefit The Veterans Research Corporation)
“BABY, HOLD ON” e-novella, July 1, 2012
BABY, IT’S YOU full-length book 4—Rachel and Dr. Cross’s story—late 2012
(Note: I'm SO proud and pleased to announce that the proceeds from the sale of the SEAL OF MY DREAMS anthology to benefit The Veterans Research Corporation, which conducts medical research for all branches of the U.S. military, all wars, has surpassed $110,000! Thank you SO much for your support of this special project.)

BREAKING NEWS! A NEW SERIES! You're hearing it first: I just sold a brand new humorous mystery series to Amazon Publishing! It's called TWO GUYS DETECTIVE AGENCY, and it features two estranged sisters (whose last name is Guy) who, upon finding themselves husbandless and broke, take on a faltering P.I. agency in a strip mall. The first two books in the series will be released next year, with the tentative release dates of March 2013 and July 2013. I'm very excited about this new series (which is also being shopped for TV), and I hope you'll be looking forward to it as well. It's set in my old stomping grounds of Lexington, Kentucky, where the women are fast and the horses are beautiful! :-) More details to come, naturally.
Whew! So trust me when I say I've been busy--busy ensuring I can continue with series that were yanked out from under me (and you), and busy putting new ideas in the pipeline. I'm very excited about the direction of the book industry. I know some of you are irritated about the transition to digital books, but it's already resulted in putting more control back in the hands of the authors (where it belongs, in my opinion), cutting out the meddlesome middlemen, and ultimately, will mean a better selection of books for readers to choose from, and at overall lower prices. That said, all of my upcoming full-length book releases will also be available in paper. :-)
I need your help!
If you've enjoyed any of my books, I hope you will consider posting a short review online and/or "liking" my books to help me get the word out. (The "like" button is the little box next to a thumbs-up symbol in/near the book title in an online listing...no typing required and you don't have to belong to any social media platform in order to "like" something!) Thanks very much for those of you who've already taken the time to do this...it really does make a difference in introducing new readers to my books and allowing me to continue all of my series. Even if you've already read IN DEEP VOODOO, please consider downloading it--you'll have it for posterity and the spike in numbers will help to raise the book's profile on Amazon (it's currently #7 on the Top 100 Kindle Free Books, I'd love to be #1!), which will, in turn, mean more in-house support for the new mystery series of mine they'll be publishing next year! Here's the link again (remember, it's FREE for TODAY AND TOMORROW only!):

Feel free to forward this note to your reader friends if you think they'd enjoy IN DEEP VOODOO. I'd like to give away as many copies as possible!
Until next time... In the midst of everything else, I'm also putting up a new website, and I'm really trying to get my act together enough to start a Facebook page! (I sometimes feel like the guy "Dave" in the Staples commercials, where he is the president, janitor, and everyone in between.) In the meantime, visit my website www.stephaniebond.com for excerpts and buy links, and if you like Twitter, please follow me by searching for Stephanie Bond and choosing the one next to the BODY MOVERS cover. Thanks so much for your unflagging support...you keep me going.
Happy reading, and happy Mother's Day to all!
Stephanie
