Oh, excellent [...]  Kay Bigelow says: Jeannie, I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of “Butterfly Swords!” I would like a stack of bookmarks and postcards to distribute. Are the postcards mailable as postcards (space for address, stamp, and short note)? Hey, Jeannie. So excited for your book to come out. I would love some bookmarks to give to my followers. Hi Jeannie. I’m looking forward to reading Butterfly Swords. I’ve blogged about it here: http://david-bridger.livejournal.com/114435.html Tweeted about it!

The mailings for postcards and bookmarks are going out. I’m working on the HTML…I know this stuff, I’m just slow. Ha! Noticed my Twitter link doesn’t work because the “and ” is highlighted. Here is the correct twitter link http://twitter.com/DivasBookcase/statuses/21319981913 Ok, re-did my tweet since I forgot to put the hashtag in the first one: http://twitter.com/dmarie84/status/21504252672 [...] got a great giveaway going on her blog and I highly recommend you check it [...] Here’s my blog post about it: Can’t wait can’t wait!!

Wow, I didn’t think anything would start until September. I’m thrilled. Thank you so much! My blog post is up at http://ronempress.blogspot.com/2010/08/upcoming-book-release-event.html. I have no clue what I’m doing with hashtags in twitter. (Yes, I’m the woman with two days worth of twitter notes on her blog and I have no clue.) That said, I’ll see if I can grasp what Dara did and copy her. LOL By all means, send me the bookmarks! You’ll have my address when I send you Marjorie Liu’s book this weekend. Thanks Anne! I actually can automatically see the tweets is #butterflyswords is on there. The only thing you need to come back here to let me know about are blogs and Facebooks! Wow, this is a great crew already. Warms my heart. Oh, pooh. I can’t figure out how to give you the tweet link, but I DID figure out the hashmark. Thanks, Dara and Anne!

But really, don’t worry about Twitter links. I have a constant search on #butterflyswords so I can record the mentions. BUT…please link back to this page or to http://www.butterfly-swords.com so people know where to go. Six more weeks until October. I didn’t think the buzz would start this early, but I’m already getting excited!  Abhishek Duggal says: I’d like a stack of Bookmarks & Postcards. Kindly contact me at forsurveysonly at gmail dot com Thanks for the opportunity! [...] 1st is the start of my Butterfly Swords Launch Celebration complete with giveaways and special interviews. I’m dedicating the blog in the month of [...]  Rita says: I’ll post on my LJ when I get the chance at home, but in the meantime, I emailed the person who runs this blog below: He posts about Asian concerns and Asians in media, so hopefully he might be interested in giving your book a spotlight even if he doesn’t read it himself. It might not happen, but I’ll keep checking and let you know if it does show up. I follow Angry Asian Man’s tweets and thus learned about the K-town reality show. Also followed the rash of angry, yet often funny, blogs about The Last Airbender. Must admit…I’m a little frightened of angry Asian men in general… Thanks for thinking of me Rita!

[...] http://skimdecafmochawithwhip.blogspot.com/2010/08/im-not-in-it-for-swords.html I’m not sure I count for the drawing, though @Rita – I enjoyed reading the LJ entry! My love for martial arts adventures follows a very similar story. I always liked the scoundrels. @Kristi – Sure you qualify! And sure you’re not in it for the swords….very few fantasy gals can resist a sword…  catslady says: The covers are gorgeous and I love the title. My older daughter would definitely be interested too. @catslady-I love the covers too! I should give warning that these stories are technically 18+ stories, in case your daughter is younger.

[...]  anne says: Thanks for your wonderful launch and all the best. I would like to receive postcards for the launch. [...] Stephanie Draven’s Poisoned Kisses, or a copy of The Taming of Mei Lin. Details at the Launch Celebration page. Drawing will be held 8pm CST on September [...] Here’s hoping I win! I STILL haven’t tried out your mailable postcards, but I’m finding your non-mailable postcards MUCH easier to “plant” in bookstores than your oversize bookmarks (though I usually find ways to plant them, too, in wall racks containing the free romance novel newsletters). I go to the Harlequin face front rack, find the Historicals, and put a postcard behind the first book in each rack, figuring that readers of other Harlequin Historicals are the best bet. Since the postcards are about the same size as a mass market paperback, they fit perfectly.  Michelle Henriques-Wilson says: You can find my blog entries about Butterfly Swords & The Taming of Mei Lin at http://scribbleofwriters.wordpress.com/book-reviews/ FredTownWard – I’m glad they’re working. The bookmarks are a bit big since I wanted them to stand out at conferences. Michelle – Thanks for the wonderful reviews. Glad you enjoyed the stories.

Desere says: Also I will be happy to help with Bookmarks & Postcards at my local library here in South Africa I dont thing my library is aware of your books so I would definitely like to help spread the word ,could you send me some so I can get started.
