Blood Domination Release

Okay, I may be experiencing a pseudo heart attack. I uploaded Blood Domination on Amazon this afternoon, fully expecting the standard (according to Amazon.com) 24 hours to go by before it would be available for purchase, and I planned to start watching Amazon tomorrow morning, just in case it was offered earlier. Well, much to my surprise, I checked my sales page half an hour ago and two sales had already shown up! It's there. If it doesn't come up by title, try entering my name as author. That's how I located it. Picture me having a total freak out, because that's what is happening. Anyway, happy reading.

    Happy, Happy and thrilled. I had to play around with it a bit to get it to pop up. I tried your name first and then tried the title, Blood Domination and it worked.
    I'm not gonna be able to sleep now. I know if I start reading it, I'll stay up all night. Thanks for an early 33 year anniversary present. Although, my husband is currently out of town so staying up all night might be an option. .
    Thanks again Connie
    Dolly

    P.S. I usually post something on your blog but since I'm going to be reading, know my absence is for a good cause.

    Hi, Dolly.
    I was planning an early night, but now I'm wired. Will probably be up for a while. Happy Anniversary!

    It must be absolutely thrilling to see all your hard work actually "in print". Being wired is probably the least of it. I really take my hat off to writers. Congrats!!
    Couldn't make it all night. I have to pace myself, lol. I gobble books up way to fast. I try to read only in the evening or else I wouldn't get anything else done.
    I'm about a quarter of the way through and love where it's going.
    Thanks for getting the book in early.

    Dolly--I'm so glad to hear you like where the book is going. I sweated bullets over this one, worried that I'd gone so far off center that I'd lose readers over it. Thanks for the encouraging words :)

    Hey, Connie. I just got my copy. Thank you so much. I am off from work today so have all day to read it. I will be pacing myself with this one because I won't have the next one to read for a while, so I will try and read slow, which I know will be impossible because this series is so good. But I will try anyway.

    Hi, Maria :)
    I'm sort of taking the day off, too, but I did get the book uploaded to B&N's website, for those folks with nooks. It should be available there soon. And, I started going through Blood Royal (#5). Still planning on hitting that November 15th deadline, unless I can get it up earlier. Hope you enjoy your day off!

    This is a completely random question but here goes: Why in the world are the times on the posts off by 2 hours? Something with the West Coast maybe? Can't help it, I'm inquisitive.

    Hi, Dolly. I've been wondering about that myself. I'm guessing the same as you--that it's on west coast time. Maybe I should just post my own time whenever I write something, but that might be even more confusing. What do you think?

    Yay! I had to ask an expert, but I got the time changed.

    OK,Connie first of all. BLOOD DOMINATION WAS AWESOME!!. I couldn't keep to my promise to go slow and finished it already, now I will be torturing myself waiting for book 5. I am already loving Kifirin. I totally did not expect the direction you took the book, but it is awesome. OK, enough adulation. Going to reread it.

    I had to take an "eye" break. Between the Kindle, the TV, the computer and the iPhone, my eyes get a work out. Now that I'm getting "older", they require frequent breaks from doing the same thing too long.
    Maria, you're finished already!! I'm about 1/2 through. I'm trying to savor it but it's just too good. I've reread all of them so many times. Lol
    Connie, it's so cool you got the time changed. It just threw me a bit when I saw the time on one of my posts.
    Still loving the book. Figure I'll love it all the way through since Maria did.
    Congrats again

    Dolly--I understand exactly what you mean about eyestrain :) I asked a friend who knows all about computers for help regarding the time problem, and it was an easy fix--I'm sorry I didn't ask about it sooner. Thanks so much and have a wonderful evening!

    hi!
    oh my god! I love the book. i think i finished it too fast though.i did it in one go. damn morbid curiosity!
    I love the direction the book has taken. I never would have guessed about Griffin! (okay so there are too many exclamation marks but i am just too excited)
    i hope Blood Royal releases well ahead of schedule :D

    Thanks, Yashika! I'm really glad you like it. I am working on Blood Royal now, but as you might imagine, I have to comb through it many times (as does my proofreader/editor) to get it ready. I don't want to make any concrete promises, but I will try very hard to get it finished early. Right now, the projected release date is still November 15th.
    Hope your day is a good one :)

    Thank you sooooo much for this incredible series! I love where the story has taken us and I cannot wait for the next book! I'm really hoping it comes out early somehow because some of us are very impatient.
    I'm about to re-read the entire series. I seriously hope we can see a little more of Tony and Lissa in the next one because for some reason I really want that. I can live with whatever you choose though. You are the best! You're my favorite author right now!
    I hope you get it finished early and decide to do more books because what I want for Christmas is more stories of Lissa, Gavin, Tony, etc.
    Thanks!

    Hi, Ally! Thanks for posting and for the awesome review :) As for Lissa and Tony, you may get your wish--at least in some way. I don't want to say too much, after all. Just hang in there, I'll be working hard on Blood Royal for the next few weeks.
    Thanks again!

    I need to clarify my previous statement so you can find the book. It's listed under Kindle e-Books, Hot New Release, Fantasy Category and it's now #12. I wanted you to be able to find it and take a picture, lol.

    Very much enjoyed reading Blood Domination ( fourth book) of your Blood Destiny series. It did not disappoint as you predicted. Glad you are receiving recognization for your writing efforts as your books move up the best lists. Finding it very hard waiting for the next one to come out. :)

    Thank you, Sarah! I'm really glad you like the books :) Blood Royal (#5) will likely be priced at $2.99 when it is released in November, but I don't anticipate another price increase for a while afterward. Thanks for posting all those wonderful words of encouragement!

    Connie your book is now at 11 in Hot new releases in Fantasy. When you hit the big time don't forget all the little people who were with you from the beginning. LOL. p.s. I would pay more money for any of your books. I am currently paying about $6.99 for books by established authors whose books I do not enjoy as much as I do yours. This is not flattery, it is truth.

    Hi, Maria! I would never forget you guys. You're the ones who are helping me through these early author growing pains and I appreciate that more than I can say. Will go right now and check out the hot new releases--maybe take a picture or two while I'm at it :)
    Thanks!

    Connie,
    Blood Domination was absolutely fantastic. I said before I liked the direction the book was going; well, you exceeded my expectations by a long shot.
    I sent my sister-in-law Blood Wager as a gift a few days ago. She hasn't stopped reading the series since. We went out to dinner last night and she was going on and on and couldn't wait till the next book came out. She had no idea Blood Domination was released. She was so happy. You've got her hooked along with the rest of us.
    Thanks again - I won't ask you to hurry (lol) but I'm looking forward to November 15th.
    Congrats again!!

    I got it late on the day it showed up on Amazon. Finished it the next day. LOVED IT!!! :) I will refrain from making comments on specifics so I won't spoil it for someone who hasn't read it. I like Kifirin, and I'm kind of liking him better than Gavin. :) Although Gavin's up there too. I think I've read each of these books at least 5 times. Working on 3rd read for this one! :) November 15th can't get here soon enough!!! :)

    I tried to pace myself but it was just too good to put down! I finished it at 6:30 this morning. At first I wasn't sure I liked the direction the story was taking but in no time at all I was completely hooked! I cannot wait for Blood Royal's release!! Well done! :)

    I have to join the club and say that I also loved your series. But Lissa did forgive Gavin far to fast. He was to quick to control her and she was to quick to forgive him. I hope that this type of abusive relationship does not continue.

    I would like to thank you for not making use wait for a year to continue Lissa story. I would also welcome spinoffs of other characters.

    Okay, I finished Blood Royal a few days ago and have posted my review on Amazon. Yes it was another HIT. Now I am waiting for the next book in the series. I love that Lissa is still strong and wants her independence. Her men actually need her more. In Blood Royal she continues to grow and find herself. Great job!

    Thanks, Dorothy! It really means a lot to me when readers take the time to post reviews--thank you, thank you, thank you :) Glad you liked the book--I really enjoyed writing that last scene.

    I am now working away on Blood Queen, and am very hopeful it will be ready for release in December. Thanks for posting, and have a wonderful day!

    I am glad to hear that Blood Queen will be release soon. I enjoyed living in Lissa's world and look forward to the returning.

    I am often looking for books that have a strong female character and I just love Lissa. I completed Blood Royal in one day and immediately wanted more. Keep up that good work.
