Viral Blogging

(I'll be keeping this post at the top of the blog over the next week, but new posts will be appearing below it).

I'm back from conference exhausted but full of creative energy at the same time. It was an absolutely fantastic time and I can't wait to tell you about it. But first, I want to let you know about something really interesting (and hopefully fun) that's happening right now in relation to Slave to Sensation.

Jane at Dear Author has chosen StS to run a viral blogging experiment, which absolutely delights me, because as their site says, Jane and Jayne at Dear Author are not part of the industry but readers, and what could be more awesome for an author than to have a reader like their book enough to choose it for something like this?

Here's what's happening - I hope you guys will be enticed to join in!

I am participating in a blogging experiment hosted at dearauthor.com. To enter the contest, put up this blurb, image, and trackback and you are entered to win the following prize package.

• $200 Amazon gift certificate
• Signed copy of Slave to Sensation
• New Zealand goodies chosen by Singh
• ARC of Christine Feehan's October 31 release: Conspiracy Game

You can read about the experiment here and you can download the code that you need to participate here.

SLAVE TO SENSATION
Nalini Singh
Berkley / September 2006

Welcome to a future where emotion is a crime and powers of the mind clash brutally against those of the heart.

Sascha Duncan is one of the Psy, a psychic race that has cut off its emotions in an effort to prevent murderous insanity. Those who feel are punished by having their brains wiped clean, their personalities and memories destroyed.

Lucas Hunter is a Changeling, a shapeshifter who craves sensation, lives for touch. When their separate worlds collide in the serial murders of Changeling women, Lucas and Sascha must remain bound to their identities…or sacrifice everything for a taste of darkest temptation.
