Cool Mentions

Who’s got the stopwatch? Okay, start it…now.

The unveiling of the Butterfly Swords cover snared some cool mentions on the interwebs. First from Dear Author who posted the cover along with some well wishes for romances set in the Far East.

Next and quite exciting, Jade Lee posted it on her blog and also gave it a mention on the Harlequin Blaze authors blog today in her post about Breaking the Rules. Her lovely quote appears on the back cover. 🙂

I also found a mention on a Thai romance blog, Mostly Romance. I used Google to translate the page (gotta love Google), but can’t seem to figure out if they’re excited or skeptical about the premise. Any fluent Thai speakers out there? Anyone?

And finally — quite excited about this — the back of my head appears on this month’s RWR magazine! The picture shows me receiving the Golden Heart award from Sabrina Jeffries. I know I’m being silly, but I’ve never appeared on the front cover of any magazine. I’m waiting anxiously for mine which hasn’t arrive yet so I can show Little Sis and she can laugh.

Stop the watch. Are my 15 minutes over yet?

June Edition of My Newsletter

newsletter_issue_2

I’ve just sent out issue #2 of the Jeannie Lin newsletter. Interestingly enough, readers don’t constantly hover over the internet and live, eat, and breathe books….hmmm…fancy that! Even my friends in the writing community don’t constantly visit forums, so several readers have contacted me to express excitement over the October release of Butterfly Swords with a note to “remind them” when it’s time.

That brings me back to a time before I became immersed in Romancelandia. When I only knew books were coming out because I browsed through the bookstore and saw a new book by my favorite authors. Only once in a blue moon would I know in advance.

Hence, the newsletter. My little gossip column and monthly reminder. 🙂

In the June issue:

  • The dates and locations of my first book signings
  • A special promotion for newsletter subscribers
  • Find out how Robert Downey Jr. and Jeannie Lin are related
  • What happened on my recent L.A. tour
