We Won!!!

Friday, March 26th, 2010

OMG, you guys are awesome!!!! Ecstasy Unveiled won the bracket in the DABWAHA tournament! So I'll be announcing winners at some point on the 27th. And what's way cool is that because EU won, Lore has moved on to another round! Which means more begging and more prizes!!! :grin:

So stay tuned!

And thank you again!!!!!



Will Bribe For Votes

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Ecstasy Unveiled (Yay, Lore!) is up for vote in the DABWAHA tournament again, and this time…it's not going so well. Lore needs your votes! Desperately.

And I'm not too proud to beg. :grin:

So.

If you'll go vote for Ecstasy Unveiled, and then come back and leave a note in the comments about how many votes your vote gave him, and the percentage he's at after your vote (For example, 42%, 237 votes), you'll be in the running for your choice of a Demonica tote bag OR your choice of one of my books, signed by me.

If you've already voted (um, for ME), just say you've voted, and you'll be eligible for the same thing. So there will be two winners, one from people who voted before they saw this post, and one from people who voted because of this post.

Note: I must win in order for prizes to be awarded.

In the event that I don't win, I'll award one winner from each category a demon duckie!

Go forth and vote! (Please?)

Contest ends at midnight EST.

CONTEST HAS ENDED AND COMMENTS ARE SHUT OFF. THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE WHO VOTED! I'LL ANNOUNCE WINNERS TOMORROW. A NEW CONTEST HAS BEGUN, SO I'LL BE POSTING ABOUT THAT SHORTLY!

So hop over and say hi, and don't forget to vote in the poll on the right! :grin:

Nothing But Fun Today

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Yeah, one of these days I'll actually post something of substance instead of fun fluff, today will not be that day! :grin:

First up, a new contest! You can win EITHER Ecstasy Unveiled OR your choice of Demonica books! Just leave a note which one you want in the comments, and chat up about tattoos! Hop over to Darkly Reading to enter!

:cool: Second, how often do you read books and think, wow, I want this to be a movie, and I'd love for (insert actor here) to play (insert character here.) Well, now you can cast the books! The website is called Story Casting, and it's all kinds of fun! Who would YOU choose to play the lead roles in the Demonica books?

Tonight, Stephanie Tyler and I are chatting at the LIST Forum at 8PM EST, so if you're up and around, we'd love to see you there!

Okay, that's it for now…have a great weekend, everyone!



Send Me Stuff, I’ll Send YOU Stuff!

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Okay, holidays are over, deadline is past, release day is in the rearview mirror…I finally have some spare time! Not a lot, mind you, but I can now sleep, eat, and take showers. (TMI?)

So…as promised, I'll give you my address, and if you would like a signed bookplate and/or bookmarks, you can send me a stamped, self-addressed letter-sized envelope (you know, the long ones), and I'll pop the goodies into your envelope and stick it in the mail back to you.

Just send your SASE to:

Larissa Ione
PO Box 302
Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235

I will sign the bookplate to the name on the envelope unless you specify different. Sorry, but no non-personalized bookplates. (Also, right now this is for US residents only. Apologies, but I haven't figured out how to do international mailings yet with SASE's. I might just have to have people send an addressed envelope and then just deal with postage and the PO myself.)

And speaking of stuff, there are two copies of Ecstasy Unveiled up for grabs at Over The Edge Book Reviews!

Over at Bitten By Books, author Mark Henry is having a launch contest for his new book, Battle of the Network Zombies. I'm bringing this up because his videos are freaking hilarious, and I also just happen to be reading the first book in his urban fantasy-zombie Amanda Feral series, Happy Hour of the Damned.

:blink: OMG, the book is twisted, gory, disgusting, and funny as hell. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Celebratory Contest & Birthday Wishes

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

ecstacy-unveiled_200I had some awesome news last night; Ecstasy Unveiled is now celebrating THREE WEEKS on the USA Today bestseller list! OMG! Lore has done really, really well, and to celebrate, I'm giving away books!

I'll give away one copy of any of my Ione books, one copy of any of my Croft books, and because it's Jaci Burton's birthday today, I'll give away a copy of Riding Wild too!

Just tell me in the comments which Ione book OR Sydney Croft book you'd like, and then let me know if you've read Jaci Burton or not.

There will be four winners — one person will win an Ione book, one will win a Croft book, one who has NOT read Jaci Burton will win Riding Wild, and one who HAS read Jaci will win a Demonica tote.

So leave a comment! :grin:

Also, the Blogtalk Radio interview I did yesterday is now up to listen to! Lots of insider stuff about the Demonica series!



Linkage And Stuff

Monday, February 1st, 2010

First off, I just want to say that I have the BEST readers in the world. I really do. Just when I'm beginning to understand why some authors limit their web presence and access to them (I've been dealing with mega-crazy harassment lately) support and encouragement comes in huge, happy waves. So thank you to everyone who has been so wonderful.

In other news…my editor just informed me that Ecstasy Unveiled hit #8 on the Borders Romance bestseller list! Again, another huge thank you to everyone who bought a book from there! I think this is the first time I've been on that list, so, yay! :grin:

Also, today I'm over at Dear Author with my first sale story. Which is actually my second first sale story…

And ultimate coolness…over at BookReaderTimes is a giveaway for Ecstasy Unveiled! Pop on by!

One more thing…if you're waiting on a prize you won that I'm supposed to be sending out, please be patient. I'm at the screaming end of a deadline, so once I get it done I'll get some of the packages out. Plus, I'm waiting on author copies of Ecstasy Unveiled, so I can't send out any of those until I get them.

Thanks again, everyone!!!!



Boppin’ Around The Blogosphere

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

demonduckMan, I couldn't be busier if I was actually out in the world doing a book tour. Not that I'm complaining, mind you! Release time is always crazy fun.

So I have links!

First, in case I haven't mentioned it, I have a Cafe Press store where you can get the coffee mug I've posted in pics on my blog. I need to put that link up on my sidebar eventually. Anyway, here's the link to Larissa Ione's Underworld Store

Today I'm at Blackraven's Erotic Cafe with tips on writing!

I'm also over at RR@H to chat about demon heroes…and there's a contest!

I'm chatting about my favorite shows and how they're always getting cancelled over at Pop Culture Divas!

Over at Smexybooks, there's a review and a contest!

*** Updated to add: I'm over at Emma Peterson's with an interview and a chance to win a book from my backlist. If you already have all my books, you can choose a Demonica tote instead! Click here!

And did I tell you that I got a sneak peek at Sin's cover? *swoons* It's awesome! I also have back cover copy to show you really soon! That'll help give you an idea what the book will be about. I'm having so much fun with it!

Okay, gotta get back to Sin. Hope everyone is having a great day!



Bitten By Books Release Party!

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Hey everyone!

:grin: Thanks for making Ecstasy Unveiled's release day so awesome! To top it off, I got a sneak peek at Sin Undone's cover, and I can't wait to show you. It's the best yet. Absolutely incredible, and I'm SO happy!

Anyway, today I'm over at Bitten By Books with a video interview. (I sound like such a dork.) I'd love for you to stop by — I'm giving away an iPod shuffle (green, just like Sin's in her book) with a gift certificate, a Demonica tote and goodies, and a Demonica coffee mug.

Hope to see you there! :cool:
