Holiday Gift Specials from Yours Truly!

So, I've had a few requests for signed books for people to give as holiday gifts, and of course, Elisabeth Alba and I have been playing around with some ways to allow people to give the EVERYDAY WITCH TAROT as a gift even though it isn't actually out until January 8th...so here's what I've come up with. Feel free to email me, or message me on Facebook with orders, special requests or questions. Some of the additional goodies are in limited supply, so if you're interested in them, let me know right away. (The best email to use for this is magicmysticminerva@yahoo.com or Facebook message me.) Or you could leave me a message here, but if you do, make sure you leave an email for me to use to get back to you.

SIGNED BOOKS:
I will happily send out any signed book (although with a few little goodies like paper bookmarks, and such) for the cost of the book plus shipping. In addition, here are a few specials just for the holidays:

A full signed set of all three Baba Yaga books plus the new Rider book, Dangerously Charming, plus the simple goodies mentioned above. If you get the full set, I'll throw in FREE SHIPPING. (So the set would be $32.)

The Complete Set!
 For an extra $10, I'll throw in one of the following:
A Dangerously Charming notebook (only one available)
A Wickedly Powerful notebook (only two available)

Notebooks! With lined paper.
 OR...
A motorcycle bookmark (5 available)
A pentacle bookmark (1 available)
A dragon keychain (5 available)
or one of the two remaining limited edition etched keychains (they say Dangerously Charming) with motorcycle dangles.

Bookmarks and keychains!
Any of these options would be $42. The free shipping options are for the USA only, alas, although I will happily send any of these anywhere if you don't mind paying whatever the shipping is for International. I'll be taking payments through Paypal, which is easy to use.

If you want to give the tarot cards as a gift, I've got 40 gift cards that I'll send out for free (but when they're gone, they're gone) so you can give the recipient something to show them what they'll be getting. Elisabeth also has a downloadable option if you'd rather do that or if you're outside the USA. It has a picture of the Strength card on the cover, along with "A Gift for You," and the inside has a gift note. The back has a holiday greeting and signatures from me and Elisabeth.

Gift cards front, middle, back
Plus, of course, I have all the jewelry I've made. I don't know if I'll have time to get anything much up on Etsy (it annoys me), although I do have a shop there https://www.etsy.com/shop/deborahblake -- but you can also check out the pictures I've put up on Facebook, or email/message me if you are looking for something made from a particular stone.

So, there you have it; a few holiday gift specials from yours truly. I've never tried doing this before, so I guess we'll find out together if it is something people are really interested in. Let me know if you think of something clever I've forgotten! Happy holidays.

Goodies, Good News, and Giveaways

As of Tuesday September 20th, we're two weeks away from the release of the first Rider book, DANGEROUSLY CHARMING! (And not to get you excited or anything, but the print version is on sale right now at Amazon. Click the link to see.) What does that mean? Well, sadly, it means that for the next two weeks you are going to get a whole lot of me saying, "OMG, did you see this giveaway?" On the up side, GIVEAWAYS! But feel free to just wander away for the next few weeks and come back after, if you get bored. I promise I won't take it personally.

The truth is, for those of you who don't know much about the business end of publishing, the advance pre-orders and the sales in the first week that the book is available tend to pretty much make-or-break the success of the book. (Which doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it later, if that's what works for you!) For those of you who have been asking me if Berkley is going to buy the third book in the Riders series (they've already bought the second one, DANGEROUSLY DIVINE, out in November 2017), that first week may well decide it. But that's only part of why I'm doing so much promotional work on DANGEROUSLY CHARMING. I love this book, and I hope you'll love it too, and it is just possible I got a little carried away buying swag and goodies. I'm not quite sure how I'll give them all away. But I'm going to give it my best shot!

So, here is a sneak peak at a few of the goodies I'm going to be giving away both here on my blog and elsewhere :-)

Tote bags and notebooks and magnets OH MY

Specially made Dangerously Charming key chains with little motorcycles

Amazon gift cards


Advanced Reader Copies
All of these are in limited supply, so I'm going to have to pick and chose where I give them away, but I also have two of these:

Not the cat. There is only one Magic the Cat, Queen of the Universe
Yes, those are Kindle Fire HD Tablets!

I'm giving the first one away at Fresh Fiction, in a contest going on all month HERE. The other one will be given away here on my blog at a giveaway that runs the last week, starting Tuesday, September 27th, so be sure to check back.

My lovely publisher Berkley is giving away FIFTEEN COPIES of the book on Goodreads, in a giveaway that ends on the 30th. (USA only, alas.) Check it out HERE

I'm also going to be bopping around the Interwebs, showing up at various places in the next few weeks, almost all of which will also include giveaways. I'll try and remember to keep you posted. But you definitely will want to check out LITERARY ESCAPISM on September 28th, since I've written a short-short story featuring Mikhail Day, just for them. (And you.)

Tune in tomorrow to see what I'm giving away here on the blog next. You know, unless you're bored already with this...

OMG, he's PERTY
 Oh, and the good news part. I can't remember if I shared this here yet or not (between the writing and the promo, I'm kind of fuzzy). RT Reviews gave DANGEROUSLY CHARMING a 4 1/2 star review and named it a Top Pick for October. This is a really big deal, and made me uber-happy. It might have also caused me to get a bit carried away with the goodies... So blame them.
