I have the pleasure to inform you that Fish and Ghosts has been picked up by Dreamspinner and will be released in Novemberish of 2013. Also, my steampunk novella, Clockwork Tangerine has also been given the nod and will be out in Marchish of 2014.
*Happy Dance*
To celebrate, here’s a couple of mostly nekkid pretty boys.
How about some guys? 
While one of our winners got a hold of me (literally right at the deadline), the other sadly did not. But I’d pulled two names ahead of the clock running out. So I will honour the cities of these two people.
There’s a LOT of cities but hey, what’s a world tour without a mix.
The new names are:
If you two can get a hold of me… that would be FANTASTIC. I need the cities as soon as you can. Remember, it’s where ever you’d like to go.
Also email me at rhysford at vitaenoir dot com for ARC discussion 😀
If I do not hear from either of them by 7 am PST tomorrow morning, I’ll be pulling two more winners. If they surface after that, I’ll add them to the next city list.
I got pix from peeps! Heh.
Here is Jordan L. Hawk ROCKING the Sinner’s Gin World T-Shirt in Black. Heh. Notice how clean her house is. I’m not letting her anywhere near mine.
Tiff Tran, whom I ADORE, shows off the cup, messenger bag and mousepad for Dirty Kiss. I’m glad she did this because she shows how the messenger bag looks inside!
Tiff Says: The inside is 19 inches in length. There is a zipper inside and one right under the front flap. The two side pockets are closed with magnetic buttons like the two on the front flap. There is a strap on the inside with a hook to secure your keys or whatever you don’t want dropping out.
Just got the call I’ve been dreading/expecting for a few weeks now. My second mother, Joyce, passed on a little bit ago. Family was with her and she was very tired of fighting the cancers. She was also REALLY sick of the hospice food and just wanted someone to turn the damn AC down sometimes. ‘Cause a person can get sick with the AC running all the time.
She was my Chinese aunt from Jamaica married to a British constable named Charles and I love them both. Dirty Laundry was dedicated to them.
On the plus side, I now have no one to fight over about who is getting the crispy deep fried fish fins when we have dinner but then on the sad side, I have no one to fight with over the crispy fish fins.
I am glad I had her with me. And I know she loved me as much as I loved her. She counted me as her daughter. And I sure as hell counted her right back.
Love you, Joyce.
Please don’t harass God about why ackee is so expensive. He doesn’t set the prices.
If anyone knows the three missing winners, ping them and send them along to me. I’ve got to get the cities locked and loaded by next weekend which means… All cities need to be in by Thursday!
I’m going to have to redraw three names in Wednesday if I don’t hear from:
And that is going to make me a sad panda indeed. ‘Cause I would feel sucky. And they would feel sucky and I don’t want anyone to feel sucky. So… someone send out a hunt for the missing winners!
Smooches all.
It helps to have visuals when writing steampunk.
