I try to keep the time I spend talking directly about my novels to a minimum on here. I love The Cavaliers Series, but I tend to feel that there’s really only so much I can write about them without starting to bore veterans or confuse newcomers. On the whole, I’d much rather talk about class, Oxford, and vampires (the posh, the privileged and the paranormal, see what I did there!).

Today however, I’m going to indulge myself, because  I’ve got three interconnected Cavaliers related things happening over the next few days:

1)On Friday 12th April, Screaming Spires (The Cavaliers: Book Two) is finally being released. I’m beyond excited. It’s had some good reviews already from people who were sent an ARC and I can’t wait for more people to read it and let me know what they think. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17522801-screaming-spires

2)To celebrate the release of Book Two, Oxford Blood (The Cavaliers: Book One) is free at Amazon from 11th April – 15th April. I’ve had a few half-hearted giveaways in the past, but this time, I’m going all out with a five day giveaway and lots of promotion and hoping for lots and lots of downloads. If you’ve not read it yet, now’s your chance. http://www.amazon.com/Oxford-Blood-The-Cavaliers-ebook/dp/B009SQ1LPK

3) When Oxford Blood was released last autumn, I just pressed “publish” and that was it. This time around I’m relishing the thought of taking part in a blog tour, organised by the lovely people at FMB Author Promotions.  If you like my writing, do check out some of the stops on the tour. I promise it won’t just be posts saying that my book’s been published – amongst other things, I’m doing some guest posts in character as people from the book (requests gladly received – I’m leaning towards Adelaide and George at the moment); some video blogs (I’d better invest in a new dress!) and some interviews. In other words, I’m barely going to be able to step away from my computer for the next fortnight. You can see the full schedule here:

• For my posts etc – http://www.fmbpromotions.com/2013/04/book-tour-screaming-spires-cavaliers-2.html
• For reviews (of both books) by blog writers – http://www.fmbpromotions.com/2013/03/book-review-tour-oxford-blood-and.html

I’d love as many people as possible to get involved: download Oxford Blood if you haven’t read it before, treat yourself to Screaming Spires if you have, check out the blog tour either way and encourage any friend who love paranormal romance/urban fantasy to do these things too.
