*Concerning Barnes and Noble: If you live in the states and normally shop for my books in paperback form at Barnes and Noble, you won’t find this title in your local store. That’s because Barnes and Noble and my publisher, Simon and Schuster, are in a months-long, ongoing dispute over promotional money. You can read about it here at the New York Times, or here on fellow Simon and Schuster paranormal author (and all-around cool person) Delilah S. Dawson‘s blog. This dispute hurts hundreds of Simon and Schuster authors who aren’t mega-bestsellers, and, yep, I am one of those. B&N originally committed to buying a quantity of BINDING THE SHADOWS for all their stores, but has not placed that order because my publisher is refusing to meet some undisclosed demands—ones that don’t pertain to me or my books. And how, you might ask, do I feel about this? Pretty pissed off. Frustrated. Thoroughly disappointed. I used to work for Barnes and Noble managing stores, and loved my time with them. I also love Simon and Schuster; they’ve been good to me. As Delilah said in her blog post, it’s sort of like Mom and Dad are fighting, and authors are the kids in the middle who end up getting hurt. But I do hope that if you want the paperback of this title, you’ll consider buying a copy at your local indie bookstore (like Powell’s in Portland, or you can search for one here at Indie Bound), or maybe Books-a-Million, or perhaps ordering a copy from one of the retailers listed above—Book Depository has free shipping, and Amazon has discounted the title (free 2-day shipping if you have Amazon Prime).

Whaaa? Not that I didn’t already buy it on Kindle, but I like to have a paperback copy as well sometimes. How awkward for you. But, good news is, it’s release day! Congratulations! I’m so excited to finally read this.

It’s more than awkward—it’s hurting my livelihood and robbing me of new readers who might’ve seen that book on the shelves and discovered my series for the first time. On the bright side, you can still purchase it on the Nook. (Odd, no?) And indie bookstores deserve extra love, so if this spurs a few readers into their local bookstore, it’s a good thing. BUT, thank you (for everything!), and I hope you enjoy it. *big sloppy hug* 😀

That’s what I thought when I was browsing through B&N’s online store, and it didn’t say there were any in the actual stores 🙁 I’m so sorry Jenn, that sucks donkey balls.
If you’re ever down here in Socal again, I’ll have to take you to Vromans.. it’s the largest independent bookstore that I’ve ever been in. It can rival any B&N in size.. and they have a pretty cool staff with lots of author signings. If it weren’t 45 minutes away, I’d be at that bookstore all the time.
But CONGRATULATIONS on your new book release 🙂 It’s a fabulous book. You pull no punches with the ending, and put Cady through the wringer. (hmm, do you lead a secret life as a dom? Huh? huh?)

Vroman’s in Pasadena! OMG! I totally remember it—my husband was a manager at Tower Records in Pasadena for a couple of years in the late 1990s. At the time, I was managing a B.Dalton down the road in West Covina…which I’d transferred to from the flagship Barnes and Noble in Seattle. Ahem.
But, wait! Here’s the kicker: two chapters of Arcadia #4 take place in Pasadena. CIRCLE OF LIFE, BABY!

OMG!! Jenn, how could you do that to me?????? This is going to be a L-l-l-l-o-n-g twelve months!!!! And this after a long twelve-month wait for Binding the Shadows.
I love the Arcadia Bell series. You’ve created a wonderful world of characters.
But I cannot believe where Shadows ends…just cruel 🙁

Oh, thank you so much! And I know it was a super rough ending—I wept like a small child writing it. And I HATE that you have to wait a year to find out what happens. But I have no control over that: my publisher sets the release dates. If there was any way I could have the date pushed forward so that it could release sooner, believe me, I would. But that being said, I really think it could be worth the wait, so please don’t give up on it. Book #4 answers EVERYTHING—no more cliffhangers!
Plus, the first book in my 1920s paranormal comes out in January (BITTER SPIRITS), so maybe it will tide you over. I’m just as proud of the characters in it as I am in Arcadia Bell, and it’s written in the same sort of voice you’re used to from me, so keep your eyes out for that and give it a shot!
