In The Flesh tonight! (March 19)
A few changes: Kyria Abrahams was in a car accident (she's okay) so is moving to April 16th, Virgin Night.
And I messed up and forgot to secure Mobile Libris but if you buy any of the authors' books today or tomorrow (online or off, but online is easier) and send me the receipt to rachelravenous at gmail.com I'll send you a free book of mine (at my discretion, depends which ones I have left). Sorry about that! We WILL have Mobile Libris on April 16th and May 21st. And we are showing the Do Not Disturb book trailer on the big screen!
