It was a lackluster weekend. The ballet on Friday was fantastic, which I totally expected. The Cincinnati Ballet always puts on an amazing performance and provides a pleasant surprise or two.
Unfortunately, things were kind of downhill from there. My Valentine's gift was another broken laptop. Last year, I suffered some massive computer-related trauma and it seems that my relatively new laptop is giving me some software-related problems. But don't worry, my editor has temporarily solved that problem by sending me the copyedits for Dawnbreaker. This is a huge pile of papers that needs to be edited one by precious one. I'm still waiting for some additional notes from my editor of things I need to be looking for.
Elsewhere, I got my carpet cleaned and cleaned out the kitty litter box -- at long last. The laundry didn't make it to the laundry room. Yeah, I wasn't that productive this weekend.
However, I did receive a smattering of really good news, but I'm reluctant to announce it in fear of jinxing it. I've been nominated for a P.E.A.R.L. (Paranormal Excellence Award for Romantic Literature) award for Best New Author. I'm up against some very stiff competition, so my hopes aren't too high. I've just excited that this wonderful group has noticed me and my Dark Days series. Keep your fingers crossed. They are announcing the winners Thursday evening.
Actually, I've got some more exciting news. Unbound --the anthology that I have a novella in -- and Dawnbreaker: The Third Book in the Dark Days Series are now both listed on Amazon.com for pre-ordering.
Unbound features Kim Harrison, Melissa Marr, Vicki Pettersson, Jeaniene Frost, and myself. It is slated for release on August 25.
Dawnbreaker will be released on September 29.

Congrats on your nomination!
I clicked over to read about Unbound, but there's not much there yet. Can you talk about it yet? I'm wondering what the theme of it is.
Congrats Jocelynn, checked out all the P.E.A.R.L. nominations. Really cool!! Think positive, I KNOW you're going to win.
It can't hardly wait for your new books (Dayhunter, Dawnbreaker, and Unbound) and future views into Mira's and Danaus' lives.
Really like the website, your brother is very talented!
Let me check with my editor. I'm not sure what I can mention about Unbound yet.
Thanks for your support. I was thrilled to get an Honorable Mention.
