Come say hello to me this Saturday and San Diego!

If you are in the San Diego area, be sure to mark your calendars for the big 15th Birthday Bash this Saturday at Mysterious Galaxy. I'll be there at 3:00 pm signing my newest release, Forbidden: The Revolution, and I'd love to see some friendly faces in the crowd. I'm really looking forward to it!

Hope to see you there!

Sam

P.S. If you can't make it in person but want a signed copy of the book, you can always call them and have it shipped. They are REALLY good about that.

Forbidden: The Revolution 25% off

I thought I'd let folks know that Forbidden: The Revolution is 25% off right now at the All Romance eBooks bookstore (allromanceebooks.com). And it's 9 this morning on their best-seller list! Woo Hoo!

Also - thank you to Leigh Savage and Harriet Klausner for posting about The Revolution. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and review.

"The love scence are very hot and the story is full of action...I really enjoyed reading this book and I can't wait to read more by Samantha Sommersby." Leigh Savage

"FORBIDDEN THE REVOLUTION is an exciting erotic paranormal romantic suspense in which the story can stand alone though newcomers like this reviewer will seek the previous entry FORBIDDEN THE AWAKENING...Sub-genre fans will appreciate Samantha Sommersby strong entry..." 4 Stars, Harriet Klausner

Does it get any better than this?

Well I'm back from RT and finally caught up on sleep. Last night I solidified my reservations to attend DragonCon this year. I'm really excited! My son's a huge fantasy fan and I'm taking him with me. I think we're going to have a terrific time. My poor husband isn't going to be able to come this year - so he'll have to be content with our daily reports.

Who else is going?

In other news....I work up this morning to see that Forbidden: The Revolution on the ARe Best Seller list! With luck the sales will continue to be strong this week and it will climb up in the ranking. Tell your friends, tell them to tell their friends! LOL!

Pittsburgh Bound!

Well, the laundry is almost done and my boarding pass is printed. I'll be leaving before the sun comes up to head to the airport for the annual RT convention. Are any of you going to be there? If so, stop by the ARe booth in club RT and say hello. I'll be hanging there quite a bit of the time.

Copies of Forbidden: The Revolution Given Away Tonight!

Tonight All Romance eBooks will be releasing a download code during their chat good for the first 50 downloads of my new erotic paranormal romance/urban fantasy - Forbidden: The Revolution.

You can access the chat via the icon on the All Romance eBooks website -
www.allromanceebooks.com.

Because it's a bookstore - the link will be disabled. You'll need to copy and paste it into your browser. The link to the stores chat room is on the left on their home page. If you haven't been there before, you'll have to register. But you don't have to buy anything.

The chat starts at 9 pm EST and usually lasts about 30 minutes to an hour. They normally release the code towards the end of the meeting. Next month they'll be talking about my book. Tonight they will be discussing For Old Times Sake by Sarah Winn. Hope to see some of you there!

Are you an author in need of some linky love?

I’ve FINALLY gotten around to adding banners to my website. Woo Hoo!

I’m thinking of doing some resource links later, but for now I’d like to concentrate on banners with links back to author websites.

If you’re an author and you would like me to post your banner send me the url for the banner AND the url you would like me to link the banner to.

The information should be sent to samantha.sommersby@cox.net

Links will appear here (MySpace is going tounhelpfully block the link so you’ll have to copy and paste it into your browser.) :http://www.samanthasommersby.com/Links/index.html

If you also happen to have a links area for banners, you can pull my general website baner from that same page or you can go to my "Fun Stuff" page for book specific banners. You know how much I appreciate the linky love...
