My pal Melissa Francis’s debut: BITE ME! is in stores TODAY! Mel and I share an editor and an agent. And yet, I have not read this book. What’s up with that? No one sends me anything. If I had to do an In My Mailbox post like the bloggers, it’d be super pathetic. And though it’s been on Pre-Order since it could be, and thus I’m actually in possession of this book, I’m still not allowed to read it, as I’m still not allowed to do anything but work on this book until there’s no more book to work on.
Anyway, this is BITE ME!
AJ Ashe isn’t your typical seventeen-year-old vampire—as if there is such a thing. Her ex-boyfriend—whom she’s still totally in love with—is now her stepbrother. A former classmate—who, um, she may or may not have turned into a vampire—is stalking her. And now, apparently, the fate of humankind lies in her little undead hands. Whatever happened to the good old days when all a vampire girl had to worry about was the occasional zit and hiding her taste for blood?
“This book is made of awesome.” – Gena Showalter
Gah. I soooooooo want to read this. I really, really, really, really, really need to finish my WIP.
And now, you can enter the Read it Before Diana Does Giveaway, right here on this very blog. Just comment here to enter, and I’ll ship you your own copy from Amazon (because I am astoundingly bad at getting to the post office, which is why you people who have won T&G prize packs or books I’ve had signed by friends also don’t have your prizes yet, because, honestly? I haven’t even been grocery shopping in weeks. It’s gotten to the point where I just make dinner out of whatever might be left in the pantry at the end of the day. Yesterday, we had spaghetti, beans, and baking powder. thank goodness for my garden.).
Right. Amazon. I can ship things to you from Amazon without looking up from my keyboard. It’s a miracle. And, the evil empire, natch, but hey, I’m grateful to them at the moment.
And now…. back to work. Congrats, Mel!

Wow! This book does sound amazing. And we know you are hard at work on your next project that’s keeping you busy. Plus the two dogs! I’m very tempted to come up to your Tyson’s Corner signing but wouldn’t be able to handle the hectic Saturday traffic to get there from Charlottesville! Good luck!!
July 28th, 2009 at 7:36 am
Ps. To clarify, I would come to the signing to not only meet you in person but to pick up my stuff so you wouldn’t have to mail it.

Diana,
Thank you so much for the shout out and for being so generous. Means the world to me!
You’re awesome!

It looks like an awesome book. Thanks for pointing it out, Diana. I can’t wait to read it, even if I’ll probably have to fight my daughter for it. Can you say steel cage death match? LOL
Sorry you’re up to you armpits in alligators. Hang in there, and order take-out. Better yet, have the handsome hubby shop and cook you a wonderful meal.

July 29th, 2009 at 12:17 am
All work and no play makes Diana…give away more books?! You’re bucking the trend here, Peterfreund! =)
Hope that grocery shopping gets done by SB–I completely understand, as my boyfriend has been doing all the grocery shopping and all the dishes while I frantically help my best friend do last minute stuff for her wedding in between doing final revisions on an article, unpacking my place, and looking for a job. Maybe I should have a book giveaway, too?
