It's book launch day!
Today the Henery Press edition of Artifact comes out. This is the same book that I released last year, with three differences:
It's got a gorgeous new book cover.
There's an Author's Note about the Scottish and Indian history in the book.
A Reader's Discussion Guide is included for book clubs.
For those of you who already read Artifact last year, I've got some fun things planned so you won't feel like you have to wait quite as long until Pirate Vishnu comes out in February 2014.
This October I'll be emailing my newsletter subscribers a Halloween-themed Jaya Jones mystery short story.
And if you haven't yet read "Fool's Gold," the novella that's a prequel to Artifact (Jaya and Sanjay solve a locked-room mystery at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival), the eBook on sale for only $.99 cents this week.
I'm not doing any in-person events right now, but I'm appearing at various online venues over the next six weeks, starting today with an interview for Henery Press and a memoir-y post on the fabulous blog of one of my favorite memoir writers, Rachael Herron:

Whew! It's a good thing I eat so healthily now so I've got the energy to do all this while still working on the third Jaya Jones book! And of course I've got my little gargoyle helpers...
