I’m one of the few authors who admits to actually liking promotion. I love blog tours, book signings, workshops, etc. I like coming up with cool little gifties and giveaways.
But I have twins now!
Boy: Hi Mom!
Girl: Tell her we’re going to start charging for blog appearances
I have deadlines. Exhibit A: I present you deadline desk where I’ve stopped trying to organize and subsist on brownies and coffee
I have a stack of advance copies of My Fair Concubine that really should go into the hands of readers and reviewers before June.
Want some? Books, I mean, not brownies.
I’m giving away three print copies to blog commenters. Just say anything. I’ll randomly draw and announce the winners Friday evening.

It’s been driving me nuts since I first saw that cover some time ago. The guy on that cover looks a lot like a well-known HK actor, but I can’t remember his name. He’s appeared in HK crime films last ten years. Usually as a cocky villain sidekick or a rich playboy son of a villain. Very tall. Rather smirky. Dodgy hairstyle (almost a mullet). I think his first name is something like Tony. I’ll find the answer soon. AM DETERMINED! *fire in eyes*
(Please don’t include my entry for the giveaway)

HAH! Found him. Tony Leung Ka-Fai (a.k.a. the Other Tony Leung)
He appears at 1:16 of this Ashes of Time trailer (note: both Tony Leungs appear in this film): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFh55NaFVLc
