October 1, 2009 - Thursday 
Whether you’re new to the blog or returning, thank you for being here. I hope you have a great time this month. I have a lot of awesome stuff lined up and Maximum, Ian’s seeing-eye dog is going to help out along the way. If you have any questions, just ask and he’ll guide you.

So here’s how this is going to work. Someone will be posting something here every day for the month of October. Some days will be short, some long, some posts will be from me and others will be from guests. The one consistent theme throughout the month is Saturdays. Saturdays are going to be Giveaway Saturday. Prizes will start out small and build up as we go. I have a few that are set in stone and I may be tossing in other goodies as we go. There’s also the possibility of more prizes from the guest bloggers.

~ A gorgeous memory box with a photo album, journal and more

~ A new Simplicit.E.Reader pre-loaded with several books. (Check out the reader here.)

~ And possibly more prizes, though I’m most excited about the eReader. magnet

That’s right, I have my ARCs for SOUNDS TO DIE BY and I’m giving one away. There are rules, but they’re simple.

1. Comment here before 9:00 am Central time tomorrow morning (Wednesday).

2. Tell me what caught your interest about the story.

3. Be willing to read the ARC before the book releases on October 13th and talk about it online. Tell me in the comments where you’ll be talking about it. Facebook, MySpace, BookPlace, Twitter, a blog…they all count. I’m not interested in trying to control what you say about the book (other than asking that you do not give away spoilers), but I would like to know when you’ve posted.

4. Tell me which eBook format you prefer in case you win.

5. Go to www.nikkiduncan.com/blog to comment and be entered.

It’s been a busy few days, but I've gotten a lot accomplished. I've even gotten some widgets created for Sounds to Die By. Visit my website to see them all.

They were fun for me, but now I have some fun for you. A contest!

It’s going to run for the length of September and it’s very easy.
1. Sign up for my newsletter (through my website www.nikkiduncan.com and your name goes in the hat (current members are already entered.)
2. Help me spread the word about my book (tweet links with @NDUNCANWRITER, post my excerpt widget someplace), let me know what you’ve done and where and your name goes in the hat.
3. Follow me on Twitter (new followers go in the hat).

The prize will be an autographed tote bag.
~Autographs include Nora Roberts, JR Ward, Sylvia Day, Shayla Black, Shiloh Walker, Jules Bennett, Maya Banks, Rosemary Clement Moore, Candace Havens, Bella Andre, Roxanne St Claire, Eve Silver, Toni Blake, Eden Bradley. Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Lori Foster, Kendra Leigh Castle, Jayne Ann Krentz, Jax Cassidy and more.
~The bag is stuffed with goodies including some autographed books from Misa Ramirez, Jules Bennett, and Dakota Cassidy. And hey, I’m writing a sensory series so there will be something in there to please your senses.

Now, if you wanna play, you must email what you've done to contests@nikkiduncan.com. I'm not very good at checking MySpace emails so you may get missed if you email me here. Besides, if you email me at contests@nikkiduncan.com it's easier for me to contact you if you win.

And stay tuned to see what I’ve cooked up for October to celebrate the release. It’s going to be a blast!

So mark your calendars for October 13th! I’m planning an online celebration because this is not only my release day, it’s my 15th wedding anniversary.


Rookie FBI Agent Kieralyn Beckett is in a delicate position. Her team refuses to buy into her theory that a string of kidnappings is connected. If she pushes too hard, they’ll discover the latest victim was her college roommate and boot her off the case. A garbled recording is the only evidence, and there’s only one man who can decipher it. The hard part will be convincing him to take the case.

Blinded as a child, NSA “listener” Ian Cabrera spends the majority of his time analyzing data while secretly searching for his father, a missing CIA operative. His plate is full, but Kieralyn’s passion and determination, as well as the erotic beat of her heart, spark his interest. So does the mention of his father’s code name on her recording.

There’s only one way to follow this new crumb-trail of clues without tipping her off about what he’s really after. Convince her she needs him to be her undercover partner, despite his handicap. Between her eyes and his ears, they make one beautifully orchestrated team. Every time they touch, though, the arousal they generate creates one red-hot element of distraction…

I'm getting ready to head out of town and have been tackling an insane to do list. Hopefully you're having a good week, but if you aren, maybe these will give you some laughs.

I’ve been getting these strangest headaches lately when I’ve been at the computer a long time. I can actually feel my brain tingle, or the nerves just under the skin or something. Either way, it’s an all encompassing tingling that soon makes me dizzy and leads to a killer headache. It’s weird, I know. It’ll surprise no one that knows me well because they all say how weird I am.


In other news, I want to make sure everyone (writers) knows that I’ll be kicking off my first online workshop Monday morning. Misa Ramirez and I will be taking over Candace Havens’ workshop for a marketing and promo workshop. Maybe I’ll see you there!
