Busy, busy!

Ah, the sweet relief of finished taxes! When I hit submit last week, I actually had a small moment of contentment. You know the one, when you completed something and you start to breathe easier. One major thing crossed off the to-do list. Nice!

Then I got out the calendar and started planning the next few months and the rest of the year. Whoa! Holdup. I just stopped breathing again. The good news is everything on the list is all good stuff. Great stuff even.

Here is a glimpse of my schedule through the end of the year:

End of this month:

A bead class with the amazing Holly Cooper in TN.

June

Deliver Demons of Bourbon Street to my editor

Bead and Button show in Milwaukee

Witches of Bourbon Street comes out in audio book

July

Deliver my new Urban Fantasy to my other editor (hopefully).

Attend The Gathering for the International Society of Glass Bead Makers. I’ll be selling murrine in the vendor area.

August:

Bead Fest Philadelphia

September:

Whole Bead Show in Amherst, MA

October:

Bead Fest Texas

November:

Houston Bead Society Show

December:

Deliver another manuscript to an editor. I haven’t yet decided which one. December is long way off.

Yep, three books, six shows, and I’m traveling every month except May and December. Anyone have an oxygen mask?

Bead and Murrine Sale!

DChase — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 22:37:53 +0000

Hey Everyone!

A number of you have asked for it, and I honestly didn’t know when we were going to run our next sale. It seems appropriate now that the dreaded tax day is upon us that we should have a tax relief sale.

So to help you out (and us too) here it is:

20% off all beads in the Etsy store. www.cdlampwork.etsy.com

35% off all murrine in the Etsy store www.chasedesigns.etsy.com and on the website www.chase-designs.com

Prices are already marked on all three sites. Sale ends Friday 13th at midnight CST.

Happy Shopping!

Audiobook~Haunted on Bourbon Street Now Available.

This weekend was exciting! First of all, I was out of town at Bead Fest in Santa Fe. As always when I’m at a bead show, I got to visit great friends. Some of them I see at a lot of bead shows, others I only see once every few years. So in addition to selling beads, it was great to catch up.

While I was there, I got the confirmation that Haunted on Bourbon Street is now available on Audible, iTunes, and Amazon. Since I only had my Kindle Fire, I wasn’t able to copy links and blog about this exciting news. I love audiobooks while torching (and I know a lot of you do too). So, for those of you who have been waiting, Haunted is finally available. Witches will be released on audio in July.

First Shipment is Here!

Pre-ordering for Witches of Bourbon Street

DChase — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 04:45:58 +0000

Heads up! The book is done, and I’m placing the first print run order on Monday, the thirteenth! Yay.

Which means, I’ve added the pre-order link the the book page. You can find it here.

And I’ve selected a random person from my mailing list for the free signed copy. Congratulations, Melanie! Your copy will go out with the very first shipment.

A little bit longer

I am sad to say the launch of Witches of Bourbon Street is going to be delayed a week or so. It’s going through one more final round of proofreading before I send it off into the world.

I know y’all want a quality product, so bear with me. But I did want to share the proof copy with you. It just showed up today!

Here are both books side by side.

What do you think?

Also, I still haven’t drawn the winner from my email list for a signed copy of Witches of Bourbon Street. If you haven’t signed up yet, go here. If you’re already on the list, no need to do anything. I will draw the winner right after I approve the final product with my printer. Then I will put up the link to pre-order. (That will likely be next week).

Win a Signed Copy of Witches of Bourbon Street

DChase — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:38:25 +0000

Good news! The proof of Witches of Bourbon Street has been printed and should be shipped overnight to me today. If all goes well I’ll be placing my first order tomorrow. Woot!

Which means, tomorrow I will be randomly choosing a winner from my mailing list to win a free signed copy. If you are already signed up for my mailing list, no need to do anything. If not. Go here to sign up. I only send newsletters announcing new releases. I do not send spam, nor do I share your email addresses with anyone.

After I announce the winner, I will add the pre-order link to the website. Good luck!

P.S. The e-versions are being formatted now. I will be sure to let you know when they go live.

Witches of Bourbon Street is coming. I promise.

Due to a lovely New Years head and chest cold, I lost a good week and a half of production. But Witches of Bourbon Street is at the final proofreader as I type. I’m supposed to get it back any moment now . Then it gets one last comb through before I send it off to Lisa Liddy at The Printed Page to format it. I swear, it’s coming soon. The trumpets are on standby to make the formal announcement.
