I wanted to lead with the fact that as always I had a wonderful time at ConCarolinas. My husband and I were John and Sherlock one day, you can see a couple pics on my relatively new and definitely under used Instagram account. I plan on using it quite a bit more in the future.

I have officially pushed back the date of my new release "After Dusk" until January 2015. I am planning a large release party in the Charlotte area for it and I hope to have the exact date soon.

I know this is a longer delay than a lot if people were expecting bit I want to do this right. Doing it right means taking my time. I appreciate all of the support I am getting throughout the delay. Putting all of my effort into this release also means I haven't been as active online as I should be and I will be correcting this very soon.

Follow me on Twitter for the quickest updates.

I made a recent (ish) announcement that I would be releasing a book on my birthday, Jan 26th, and I want to say that to date it is the most amazing thing i have ever created. It is well written, suspenseful, and I am sure  that it will leave anyone who reads it pleasantly uncomfortable. Unfortunately it is not complete and I feel like I would be cheating both myself and you to release it right now. 

I have known for a few weeks but I was hoping I could somehow pull a magic trick out of my hat and meet the deadline and I have failed to do so. 

I will keep you updated. Thank you so much for your support.

My web host now has a great mobile app that lets me update news from my phone. Another  tool for me to try and stay connected with!

I didn't realize it had been this long since i made a post that consisted of more than 140 characters! As those of you who follow me on Twitter are aware I have had a rough time over the last couple months. Not only did I have $1700 in unexpected hospital bills but my car was hit in a parking lot and I need to raise $500 for body work. (On top of that my window just cracked but that's another story)

$2200 isn't a lot for some people but for a lot of us it's more than a months salary. I am not the type to ask for handouts but I am not above BEGGING for you to purchase any books/ebooks you haven't purchased yet. As a thank you to anyone who purchases a book by Friday 1/25 I will send you a coupon for a free download of my next ebook release. Just email your receipt to rebeccacarter@myself.com

You can purchase my books through many online retailers, links are available under current works or you can purchase on Smashwords here and Amazon here & here (Sunlit Nightmares & other titles are not showing under my profile at the time. I am researching why.) Amazon print copies will bring me the most easily accessible revenue. 

I will have more news soon! 

I have been asked (after posing a question about next years convention) why I am not doing any conventions this season. The answer is really simple- I am writing. I am doing everything i can to expand my reach, to make myself a better writer and convention guest among other things. So, be paitent with me and I promise I will make all this silence and hiding worth your time. 

I want more twitter followers! I a greedy, follow me @moonlithorrors and if I reach 1500 followers I will give 5 random followers eBook codes for all of my ebooks! 

The new website layout should be up and operational. If you have any issues please let me know.

I am still working on getting the new site layout working so please bear with me for a little while longer.

So I do have some news for you. I promised to share it with you today and for once I am going to fulfill a promise!

1) Sunlit Nightmares will be available in print by July 30th, 2012. Hopefully way before then. I made sure I chose the best options to bring you the collection for the best price possible, $5.99.

2) "The Dead Rule The Day" will be in an upcoming anthology, more information when I have a release date.

3) I found a couple small errors in some of the shorts from Sunlit Nightmares so I will be correcting them. By the end of July all eBooks and shorts will be error free. If you purchased through Smashwords you can automatically download any updated versions free. If you purchased through a third party email me and I will send you the corrected file. More info on this will be posted when I am done.

4) All eBooks will be available on Amazon by the end of July.

There are some more things in the works but those announcements will just have to wait.

I used The Mad Formatter to do the Sunlit Nightmare eBook so I have to now go back on my word and say the eBook is now ready for purchase at Smashwords and the print book will be available in the near future. 

Go download a copy, $1.99 at Smashwords and then check out Lyle at The Mad Formatter if you need anything formatted at all!

This post has been a very long time coming- I know it seems like I keep putting it off. It's not intentional, there has just been a lot going on in my life.

As most of you know I started a new "day job" last november that has a mandatory 50 hour workweek. Those hours make it feel more like a "Morning, Noon, & Night" job and I have not been balancing it very well with all the other things on my plate. My web presence is what I decided to let slip- and I am sure I will regret that in book sales soon, but i want to be really clear that writing is the most important thing to me. I am so glad, and blessed, that any of you will spend your hard earned money on my thoughts so don't think I don't appreciate it. Writing will always just come first.

Sunlit Nightmares took a lot more from me that I expected. The stories didn't want to play out and formatting has been a pain. I have opted to contact a formatting service for the eBook so it will be out later than the print copy. Don't forget all of the stories are available for individual purchase/download through smashwords and multiple retailers (and very soon amazon). Print should be available very soon.

Speaking of print books, most of my print works including anthologies will be available at Dragon*Con this year, I will have more information on that as the time get closer.

Long days and work is not the only thing keeping me from you guys. I have been simultaneously dealing with an increasingly irritating illness (that we should have a grip on soon now that I am working with an internist to find out what is going on) and the unexpected death of my uncle. My uncles death is tragic in so many ways and you will hear more about it as I can release information.

After Sunlit Nightmares is out I am going to focus on a novel and getting some unused shorts/ideas in more anthologies. I was invited to another anthology last year but it has not been released yet.

You know I will keep you all up to date. 

P.S. I should be doing a website revamp within the next couple days so if you come across something wonky just give it a few minutes and refresh.
