Hi,
everyone! I’m Silver James and I like to walk on the dark side. Since I love
the dark, why am I coming to Hot Mojave Knights in Las Vegas, the city of neon
lights? Because I can’t wait to meet the readers and other authors who will be
in attendance. Oh, yeah. And the knights. ;)
I do
have a confession to make. I’ve never actually been to a reader event, much
less been a featured author and I have this secret fear that I’ll be sitting in
the room for my “personal” chat all by myself. I’m bringing some special swag
as a bribe to get people to my room. Shhhh. Don’t tell. Just come. At least
with the panels, I’ll have the company of some amazing authors. I’m sitting on
the Otherworldly Panel and the Mystery/Thriller/Suspense Panel.
So
here’s my question to the folks who will be coming. What would you like to hear
us talk about in the individual chats? Do you want to know about process? About
the books we’ve written? About characters? Setting? Plotting? Trust me. You
don’t want me to get up there and just “wing it.” You’re liable to get a song
and dance and for anyone who has ever heard me sing….well, let’s just say they
paid me to stop. ;)
I know
why authors like to come to these events. We get the chance to meet readers and
talk about books we love—yes, authors are readers, too. We have our own
favorite authors and books. I’m guessing that’s why readers like to come too.
Did I mention the knights? That’s another reason for coming. And the banquet
costume party on Saturday night. And the gift basket raffle for charity during
the book signing.
Do you
have your costume ready? We went shopping for my daughter’s last weekend. Yes,
she’s coming with me for a girls’ working weekend. She’s a professional photographer and will be
there to capture all the terrific moments at the panels and parties. She’s
coming as Major Hannah McIntire, heroine
of BLOOD MOON, the first book in my Moonstruck series. I’m coming as an “older”
version of Sade Marquis, the heroine of my new Urban Fantasy series, the
Penumbra Papers. Sade’s a kick-ass FBI agent and I get to wear a long, black
leather coat. I’m dying to see what costumes the other authors are wearing. And
the knights. Will they come dressed for court?
Who’s
going to Hunk Mansion for the male review? Who’s going to stay at the hotel for
the wine tasting? Who’s going to bed early? No you aren’t! There will be too
much fun going on. There are books to talk about. New friends to meet and get
to know. There are knights to visit with. And books. There are a couple of book signings
going on in addition to everything else. What more could you want for a weekend
filled with fun?
If you
haven’t signed up yet, there’s still time. If you have signed up, what are you
most looking forward to during the weekend? I’ll see everyone there in just 18
days! Come get your fun on!

Along with her FBI partner—and werewolf best
friend—Caleb Jones, Sade is sent to New Orleans to investigate the murders of
several high-ranking magicks. The Big Easy is neutral territory so Sade must
find and arrest the culprit before war breaks out between the Realms. Things
look up when the gargoyle Sentinel, Roman, a permanent fixture in Sade’s
childhood, arrives to keep the peace. Maybe.
The investigation is hampered by Sade’s
faerie nemesis, Ariel—the King’s Seducer. Oh, and then there’s the new dragon
in town, Nikolas Constantine. Sade can’t decide whether to arrest his ass or
admire it.
When guilt and innocence come to play in the
French Quarter, it’ll take Sade’s brand of crazy to sort it all out.
