Launching Whisper Falls - counting down 1 week

We are a week out. The official release date is November 19th. 7 days. After 18 months of waiting, we're almost there.

I checked the Amazon Hot New Release list today (in YA Historical) and both versions are there: paperback at #14 and digital at #8!

I'm guest blogging today at Because Reading about my journey to publication. Check it out!

Launching Whisper Falls - Day 7

Let me start by recognizing what a special day this is for America as well as the community of nations. Today is Veterans Day. Thank you to veterans everywhere.

I have three links to share.

• The Whisper Falls blog tour takes us to FantasyBookAddict where I'm interviewed about writing this book: http://www.fantasybookaddict.com/2013/11/11/elizabeth-langston/
• WRAL-TV news anchor Bill Leslie interviewed me live today on the Noon newscast. [I cannot find a link for the interview--but will post one as soon as I can find it.]
• Several weeks ago, I posted a story on this blog about an experience I'd had while serving in the military. Read it again on the Veterans Day post of a writer's group blog

We're still counting down. 8 more days until the official release date of Whisper Falls!

Whisper Falls Blog Tour - Day 5

It's the fifth day of the Whisper Falls Blog Tour.

Today's stop includes a review of my book at Letters in the Sand.

Launching Whisper Falls - Day One

We are two weeks away from the official release date of Whisper Falls, November 19th.

For the next 14 days, the enthusiastic publicity staff at my publishing house (Spencer Hill Press) have organized a different "event" each day.

Join us as often as you like. There will be book reviews, interviews of the author (that's me!), guest posts by the author (me again!), and a giveaway or two.

Interview on AL Davroe blog

I'm being interviewed today (Friday, Nov 1) by AL Davroe. Check out the blog post and enter a rafflecopter giveaway (2 prizes, one for North American readers and one for International readers)!

Whisper Falls (paperback version) is reaching the hands of folks who pre-ordered. It's earlier than I expected, but it's also been a lot of fun.

The e-book version won't release until November 19th. 18 days away!

Counting down to 21 days or maybe not

One week ago, I would've predicted that my next post would be about counting down 21 days to release. I would've been wrong.

The paperback version of Whisper Falls has already been released. Amazon began shipping it this weekend. B&N and BAM have the paperback version listed as "in stock," which means they're willing to ship now as well.

E-books of Whisper Falls remain in pre-order status. If you want a digital version, you'll have to wait until the official release date, which is November 19th.

Exciting times. It took me a day or two to absorb this change in plans. I had scheduled myself to not be nervous for two more weeks, so it crashed in on me unexpectedly. But I'm over it (I think) and I'm just ready for people to read and love the book!

So here are the cool things about the past week:

• My author-friend Katie McGarry included me on a giveaway of her last ARC of Crash Into You.  Check here for details on how to enter (offer ends on Wednesday, Oct 30.)
• Behold the power of Katie. Since she kicked off her promo, my twitter followers have increased 80% and my FB fans have increased 150%. In six days! (I really hope that one day I'll be able to pay this forward.)
• I am giving away 2 ARCs of Whisper Falls on goodreads. Check for details on my Oct 22 blog post.
• Amazon ran out of stock on my book Sunday. That was fun.

All right, back to the rest of my life...

Early release?

I've received several reports that the trade paperback version of Whisper Falls is already shipping.

The release date is still officially November 19, which is three weeks away. However, if you've ordered the book and it arrives before then, feel free to view that as an early gift.
