How About Extra and Free?

Upcoming Signing:

Diana Pharaoh Francis and I  will be signing books and hanging out to chat on Saturday, August 24th at 4:00 pm at Escape Fiction in Salem, Oregon.   I’ll post more about the signing next week, and I might even have some advanced copies of HELL BENT to give away. *hint hint*

Question for you, Dear Reader:

With HELL BENT out in a few months, I thought it’d be fun to do a little extra free content for it.  If I can carve out some time, would you prefer:hellbent cover

A. Short stories or flash fiction from Shame or other characters set before HELL BENT?  The book takes place 3 years after the end of the Allie Beckstrom series, so there is some room in there for Things To Have Happened.

B. Scenes from HELL BENT told from Terric’s point of view. These, of course, wouldn’t be posted until after the book comes out for spoiler reasons.

C. An on-going Twitter and/or Facebook/Tumblr conversation (mini story) between Shame and Terric, and other guest characters.

D. Other thing you think would be awesome. (Please explain in comments.)

E. Nothing! Get back to writing more books, Monk!

Any and all comments are welcome! 🙂

    Can we pick two? B & C. C sounds awesome, but I love the Curran POVs that Gordon Andrews does for the Kate Daniels series. Reading about Terric doing a massive eye roll at Shame would be hysterical

    Them again, I would like to know what happened in that three year span. I don’t know! Too many choices! Aahh!

    Short Story between the end of Ally Beckstrom series and the beginning of hell-bent.
    It would really be awesome! I can hardly wait for hell-bent to be out and I really would love to Find out what happened in between. Get to work, Monk! *lol* (How is that for bossing you around?)

    I am a big fan of Andrew Gordon’s PoV stories so getting something similar from you for Terric would be all kinds of awesome =)

    Twitter would be my second choice, it continues to amuse me to bug Shame on there now and then.

      I really like the Curran PoVs too! But I agree, there’s something about Twitter that suits Shame. It would be funny if other characters highjacked his account…hm…

    I’m liking A. But listen, since you are in Salem, why not pop over to Halifax? Salem is quite close to Canada, and Halifax is in Canada, so…you can stay at my place 🙂

    I really like A,B and C. Some help I am right? I really am intrested in what happens with Shame right after and Terrics and Shames “job” change. If thats covered in the book then Id perfer B or C.

      You’re very helpful! The book doesn’t cover exactly what happens right after the job change. It starts up 3 years into the mess, so…plenty of stuff to explore. 🙂

    I’m really really torn between A and C right now… Ugh why is it so difficult?

    On the one hand Facebook/twitter conversations would be really funny, but on the other hand slash fiction

    I vote for plan B, please, and also PLEASE write more books, ASAP! I have already read all your Allie B books, and all of your Steampunk books, including Cold Copper, so I am now without anything of yours on my TBR stack to read, and it’s driving me CRAZY! I love your work, and I love your characters, so the sooner you get to writing, the better, in my humble opinion.
    Thanks!

      Oh! Thank you so much for reading!!! I’m hoping to get STONE COLD (book 2 of the Shame-Terric series) revisions done in a week or so, and then I’m diving into a completely new series.

      So…new stuff is right around the corner!!

    I would have to go with A and B. It would be great to see what happened in those 3 years and Terrics point of view would be intersting

      Thank you for voting! I’ll wait a week or so before tallying everything…hopefully will have a decision soon. 🙂

    Since I am unable to decide, I will pick the top 3: A, B and C. I know, I am indecisive. But all 3 would be a lot of fun.

    Hmm. I’m going to go with C, because as much as I would have loved B, I don’t want to have to wait until after the book comes out. Instead, I would rather have C first, then Hell Bent, then we bribe you for B afterwards.

    Sound good?

    Any of it , all of it. I trust you to know the story and what should come out. A is appealing since it could happen sooner. But it’s all appealing! Thanks for the options, choose what you feel.
