Author Event & Giveaway: Darynda Jones-Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet

Darynda Jones visits Southern California to promote her latest in the Charley Davidson series, Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet, November 9, 2012.
The entertaining Darynda Jones

I was thrilled to hear Darynda Jones would be stopping in Southern California as I've heard so many great things about her Charley Davidson series.  I am new to the Charley Davidson series, I'm almost done with the audio of the first book (thanks Arlene!), so it was nice to hear about some of the backgroud story behind Charley. I found out some interesting tidbits as well. Here are some fun facts:
  • The funny T-shirts lines that are usually the title to each chapter, are in fact T-shirts.  She used to have to scour the internet for new ones, but now that she's been doing this for a while, readers send her all kinds that she ends up using.  She writes the book up first then divides it into chapters, and then selects the appropriate T-shirt title. 
  • Darynda knows who Charley will eventually end up with.  She doesn't know when she's going end the series, she's not ready to say goodbye, so it may take a while for Charley to get there.  Just from the first book, I already have my heart set on Reyes! Oh, man! Talk about SUPER HOT, and the ultimate bad boy!
  • Darynda has plans for a spin-off series, but is holding off because she feels she'd have to end Charley sooner than she wants.  Mr. Wong has a huge role in the spin-off and we'll finally find out his backstory.
  • There might be a romance brewing between Uncle Bob and Cookie! 
  • The titles were purposely numbered, because Darynda hates going into a bookstore and trying to figure out the order of books in a series.  There is no confusing what number in the series First Grave on the Right or Third Grave Dead Ahead is.  I like that!
Darynda was so much fun, I had a blast laughing and cracking up the whole evening!  I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet her.

Now for the good part!  We would like to offer one lucky reader a SIGNED copy of Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet.  The giveaway is INTERNATIONAL and will fun for three weeks.  The only requirement is that you follow the blog.  Just fill out the rafflecopter below.  Good luck and thanks for stopping by!

  5. I would like to thank you so much for this amazing book giveaway, that i am so excited about and would love to have the chance of reading! I have read 'First Grave on the right' (a charley davidson novel) by Darynda Jones and REALLY loved it, giving such an over-enthusiastic review afterwards! I very much enjoyed her origonality and freshness within this genre, hence it would be just wonderful to read something new by her. I love the striking and brilliant cover of Forth Grave Beneath my feet, and certainly think that it would stand out on any bookshelf.
    I would like to thank you so much for this chance, and shall certainly be adding it to my to-read list in a hurry. I am sure that Darynda Jones' next book will be met with high praise and great critical aclaim, for her writing has already blown me away. x
