A Hiccup!

We are having some issues with the paperback copy of Survival Tactics as the printing company is reviewing the files. There has been a small hiccup in getting the paperback onto the bookshelves again, but I thank you for being patient while I work this out. The digital copy is available

Updates!

"Survival Tactics" has been reformatted to industry-standard for both print and digital copies. In addition, the file now includes previews for my next two projects. "Code:PINK" and "Swept Away: A Survival Tactics Novella". Pre-orders for Code:PINK begin in October and "Swept Away" will be on sale near the end of September.

Two New Titles For 2015!

Image
I have been very busy this summer! First, I announce my new book due out in late December, Code:PINK. I also have the prequel to "Survival Tactics" coming out in the middle of this month, the novella "Swept Away". Both will be available exclusively at Amazon and you can read the preview for "Swept Away" on my website at  www.ericarstinson.com.  Expect a preview for "Code:PINK" shortly. And as always, please don't forget to leave me a review if you enjoyed reading any of my stories. Thanks!

New and Improved Cover For "Survival Tactics"

Image
I am very happy with the new cover for "Survival Tactics". It's bold, and I feel that it just grabs you. I am planning a cover for "Swept Away" which should be released within the next few weeks or so. It's a novella that precedes "Survival Tactics".  I am also doing a layout for my next novel that is being released this winter and I will announce it within the next month or so.

"Swept Away" Novella Coming Soon!

I am currently at work on a short story that is a bonus novella about Daphne's life right before she left Charlottesville, Virginia behind and how she and Evan got together. It will be on CreateSpace and Amazon for $0.99. If you've already read "Survival Tactics" then this will give you a deeper insight of the story's origin. Why not give "Swept Away" a chance and get to know Daphne Edwards a bit better before you read "Survival Tactics"? I will announce the actual release date very soon, so be sure to stay tuned and sign up for email alerts at my website to be made aware of when my next novel will be out!

She-Sheds....Hmmm....I'm Intrigued!

Imagine a perfect little place to read(or in my case write)and do anything you want to do when you want to get away from the kids, chaos and housework. I really like this idea and I am definitely going to look into this for someday(when I get my perfect dream house, complete with acres of land so I can garden and plant fruit trees!) Check out this adorable little 'cottage' that belongs to this woman. http://abc7chicago.com/home/women-escape-to-backyard-she-sheds/780110/

Researching...

Went on a field trip yesterday to take some photographs out on Long Island, since that is where my new book is taking place. It was a beautiful day for it and I am very happy with how the photos came out. I plan on using them for the new book trailer, so you'll have to wait a little bit to see them. I also plan to release a teaser of the new book, which will be available in mobi and ePub format via my web site at www.ericarstinson.com

New Facebook Page for me as an author!

I have created a Facebook page that will have all the updates, contests, information and need to know things going on with my upcoming projects. Check it out at https://www.facebook.com/ericarstinsontheauthor?ref=hl

Contest Winner - A role in NewBook!

Hi all! I held a contest during the book signing for Survival Tactics, in which the winner would receive a role as a minor character in NewBook. I have their paperwork, and I can let you know so far that this person is a female and will be somewhat of a sassy, no BS type! I am very excited about writing this character and I can't wait to let you know more about my new project later.

Book Club Meeting

Just want to give a warm thank you to the "10 Ladies Reading" Book Club for having me at their club meeting this afternoon to discuss "Survival Tactics"! It was truly a pleasure meeting you all and I hope that you will keep in touch. Thanks again!

Character Names and Locations

Things are just going swell for NewBook and I am starting to flesh out the characters. I am also dabbling with artwork for the cover(can't wait to show you soon!) Next I am going to be working on locations, for validity, and I will be taking little field trips here and there to take photographs for the cover. Oh, did I tell you? This story will be based on Long Island! Stay tuned!

Work has begun!

Well, I have dusted off my pens and papers and I am pages deep into my next novel, which I will refer to as "New Book" for the moment. Don't worry! I will eventually reveal the title(I already have it:-))most likely in a few months. I will be looking for beta readers, so keep an eye on my web site for the announcement. The most tedious part of writing this book so far has been the research, but it IS necessary. It involves interviewing people and obtaining information in an effort to provide as rich a reading experience as possible. So tomorrow I am off for my first 'field trip' to get the ball rolling! I am looking forward to it as I begin the outline of New Book.

My new blog!

Hi! My name is Erica and I am the author of a novel called "Survival Tactics". I'm also working on a new novel that will be released later this year(more on that later!)and I plan to blog about it as we move towards its release. I also own Gigi Cake Shoppe, which is operated out of a commercial kitchen.  My cake shop is named after my niece Gianna, to whom I am very, very close.  Even though she's about to turn eight, I am already training her on how to create beautiful cake decorations and she loves spending time with me, and I her. I will be blogging here regularly, as mentioned above, but I just wanted you to see the regular side of me when I am not hawking my book(lol). I am sure that we will get to know each other well and I think this will be fun. Feel free to follow my other blog which ericarstinson.blogspot.com. Thanks!
