First Cup of Coffee with Jeffe Kennedy

First Cup of Coffee - January 25, 2019

January 25, 2019

Jeffe Kennedy

Some thoughts today on how to handle those New Shiny ideas when you're supposed to be working on something else. Also about being social, getting to see Amanda Palmer in concert during SFWA's Nebula Conference- plus staying home to get the work done. If you're interested in the signing I'm doing Saturday, January 26, 2019, with Darynda Jones, there's info here. (Though that link is nonspecific to THIS signing, so if you're coming from the future, you likely won't find it.)

Are Pay-to-Play Published Book Contests Unethical?

CffkAWSWIAAc1BXTo celebrate that THE TALON OF THE HAWK won Best Fantasy Romance of 2015 from RT Book Reviews, I got this amazing tattoo of Ursula’s sword. I’m thrilled with how it turned out. (Freshly finished and a little red here – it looks even better now!)

If you haven’t yet signed up for my newsletter, one went out today with an exclusive, never-seen-elsewhere, juicy deleted scene from TALON. If you sign up today, you can still see it. Yes, I’m totally luring you. Is it working?

You’ll see this in the newsletter (hint, hint) – Kensington is sponsoring a Goodreads Giveaway of 25 copies of THE PAGES OF THE MIND. Hie thee hence to enter!

Finally, I’m over at Word Whores this morning, setting forth the question of whether published books contests that require an entry fee, such as RWA’s RITA Awards, have less integrity than those where books must be nominated, such as SFWA’s Nebula Award.
