I haven't had a lot of time to blog, but cool stuff is still going on! If you've read Bloodlines, you know that Adrian has some ideas about what the most awesome tattoo ever would be. Well, Arcane Vault--who makes all those neat shirts and other VA merchandise--is running a contest to draw Adrian's dream tattoo. The winning entry will win an ( Read more... )

Bloodlines comes out in ten days, and there are so many promo things going on that I finally figured I should round them all up into one post for your (and my) convenience. It's getting too easy to lose track! Here we go.

Note: If you're thinking this post seems short for something with an "extravaganza" title, it's because a lot of the things ( Read more... )

What a silly question. Of course you do!

All the rules are posted over on the Bloodlines Contest page on Facebook in the "Info" section. It's pretty easy to enter, but make sure you read everything carefully. Also, if copying and pasting the contest email address doesn't work, try typing it out to enter. Lots of prizes are on the line, including ( Read more... )

Well, I made it back to Seattle last night and am very happy to be home and back to work. I've got a deadline fast approaching, so I expect the adrenaline and caffeine to start coming on strong. Since there's still BIG news coming Friday, I figured I'd better finally get on to judging the Valentine contest so that we can have those results out of ( Read more... )

Okay, real quick as I'm frantically preparing for my UK flight tonight! Re: the Valentine Contest, judging it is becoming an astounding task. Thanks for the entries, but WOW! There are a lot, and it takes a while to go through those links. So, bear with me. I'll work on it in the UK, but we may have to wait a couple weeks for results ( Read more... )

NO MORE ENTRIES ARE BEING ACCEPTED. THOSE POSTED AFTER FEBRUARY 14 WON'T BE COUNTED. THANKS FOR ALL THE ENTRIES, GUYS! RESULTS COMING SOONIt was recently brought to my attention that there is an appalling lack of Richelle Mead merchandise out there, which is a shame since the season of love is upon us, and nothing says romance like novels filled ( Read more... )

Okay, after a lot of deliberation, I'm excited to announce the winners of the 'Lolcat My Books' wedding contest. This has to be one of the hardest decisions I've made--and is part of the reason contests are so stressful for me! It's so difficult choosing a winner, especially when there's so many good candidates. And really, all the entries were ( Read more... )

When you guys don't see me online for a while, it's usually because I'm swamped with some deadline, and this last week has been no exception. Added onto all of that is that I'm going to be getting married soon. Like, within the next few days. So, a lot of those last minute details have been keeping me busy and adding onto all the other stress ( Read more... )

No coherent theme today, just a few updates. I realized that my Canadian adventure is coming up soon, so I thought I'd send out another reminder. I'm going to be a panelist at the Surrey International Writers Conference next weekend, and since I'll be in the Vancouver/Surrey, BC area, there are a couple of signings tacked on to the trip. Dates and ( Read more... )

Sorry for going off the grid this week. I've found I'm staying saner by keeping a low profile. Without me even realizing it, my stress meter dialed up into the red zone recently, and now I feel like I'm just barely staying afloat with all the tasks I have to do before Blood Promise's release and tour! It's all pretty exciting, but it's also funny ( Read more... )
