Blog talk radio interview and a blog appearance

I had another Blog Talk Radio interview today on Gelati’s Scoop, chatting with fellow authors Alan Zendell and Toby Devens about our experiences as new authors and the dreaded task of social marketing: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2012/05/02/alan-zendell-cindy-young-turner-return-to-the-show

I felt much more relaxed this time around. Could I be getting the hang of this?

Plus you can check out my Favorite Five on Hildie McQueen’s blog today: http://www.hildiemcqueen.com/?p=3664

Talk about a busy social marketing day!

Compton Crook Award finalist

Thief of Hope is a finalist for the 2012 Compton Crook Award! It’s awarded at Balticon by the Baltimore Science Fiction Society to the best first novel in fantasy, science fiction, or horror. It’s such an honor to have made it to the final round. I’ll be a participant at Balticon this year. It will be my first con. I’m not really sure what to expect, but it will be fun. I’ll post more info on panels and times once I have it. You don’t really want to fight traffic and go to the beach on Memorial Day weekend, do you? Come to Balticon instead!

And for those who are eagerly awaiting the second book, yes, I’m working hard on it. I’m also working on a prequel for CMP’s new line of ebook novellas, Little Moons. With any luck I’ll get that finished soon!
