Dark C.A.R.M.A.

The Open Minds blog tour rolls on, but I want to bring another book launch to your attention!

Dark C.A.R.M.A.

I'm excited for the Dark C.A.R.M.A. ladies (C.K. Bryant, Ali Cross, RaShelle Workman) kicking off their collective Launch Party today! These ladies are YA authors who have banded their resources together to launch their books, a trend that is gaining traction as more and more authors are self-publishing and finding their fellow authors to be an invaluable resource. 

The Dark C.A.R.M.A. authors are part of a larger group called The Indelibles. I'm not sure what the right term for it is ... a guild? A collective? It's a group of 20 MG/YA authors that are sharing information and support as we go forward in the Indie Experience. And yes, I said we, because I'm proud to be associated with these fine authors as a fellow Indelible (check the sidebar here for covers and links to all the Indelibles authors). More to come on The Indelibles after the new year...

On to the Dark C.A.R.M.A. launch ...!

Dark C.A.R.MA represents three YA authors determined to keep you up at night reading fantastical fiction about darkness—in the world and the soul.

At 11am MST (1pm EST), and then later at 6pm MST (8pm EST). C.K., Ali, and Rachelle are having a Twitter Party (hashtag DARKCARMA), where you can win cool prizes, including books by other Indelibles authors.  Join them on Twitter or hop over now to the Dark C.A.R.M.A. blog to enter to win a $100 Amazon gift card!

Here's a video inviting you to the party!

I hope to see you there! #darkcarma
