There's a new blog interview where I talk about various things, including my new novel (Our Lady of the Absolute) and the short "Meet the Character" videos I made for it.  You can read this blog at:

My publisher, Mundania Press, is running a Holiday Sale for all imprints. Entering the Discount code SANTA when checking out gives a 20% discount on the entire order.

This runs from now through New Year's Day, January 1, 2010 on Mundania, Awe-Struck, and Phaze Books.

On Tuesday, October 13, I ran a promotion for The Dragonslayer's Sword.  Many thanks to everyone who bought my novel during this promotion -- my novel landed in the bestselling lists in two categories:  Epic Fantasy and Fantasy Romance!  Thanks so much to everyone who helped make this happen!

Note:  If you bought my novel during the promotion and need the link to the promotion page to collect your gifts, send email to me at ContactResa@aol.com and I'll send the link to you.

I just completed my first weekend at King Richard's Faire -- it was great!  Many thanks to everyone who bought my novel or just stopped to chat.

If you go to the faire, be sure to check out another new merchant who offers a very unique opportunity.  Shayna Lerner Diamond is the owner of DayDream Designs, and she makes custom jewelry.  But here's what she does that I think is a great opportunity:  at the faire, she offers a workshop where she'll teach you how to make wirewrap jewelry.  She says you can either bring your own stone or buy one from her.  My advice:  see her as soon as you get to the faire, because you have to sign up in advance.

Here's what Shayna says on her website (http://daydreamdesign.net):

Each piece of DayDream Designs jewelry is a wearable work of art.

I start with carefully selected stones, crystals, shells, & other natural artifacts which inspire my silver work. With fifteen years of experience, I use simple tools and refined technique to respectfully incorporate Earth's beauty into functional jewelry with minimal prefabricated or manufactured components.

Each detail of every piece is carefully hand fashioned to bring you an original piece of jewelry from an artist of quality and passion.

King Richard's Faire is the largest Renaissance faire in New England, and during the next few weeks -- starting today -- I'll be giving away free tickets.  See my Welcome page for details.
