Lilo Abernathy Event Chats discussion

Hey everyone! Thank you all for joining me and Lilo today to celebrate the release of The Light Who Binds. I’m Shauna Ward, and I’ll be your host today.

Before we get started, make sure you claim your exclusive door prize, The Binding of the Wolf, by signing up for Lilo’s newsletter here: http://bit.ly/1KhHk6d
Make sure you check “New Book Releases."

Now, let’s take a minute to get to know each other. Comment below to introduce yourself and let us know whether you’ve read Book One in the Bluebell Kildare Series, The Light Who Shines. I’d also love to know what you’re eating and drinking right now—or what you wish you were eating and drinking.

Because we’re at a party, I think it’s only appropriate to have homemade margaritas. I'm sipping mine right now. :-)

Hi Everyone! I'm Lilo and I'm just going to be having fun with you all while Shauna does the work.

Hi Shauna and Lilo, My names Sam and I have read book 1 but not been able to buy book 2 just yet. I'm currently drinking coffee and having some chocolate.

Hi I'm Leanne! :) I have read book one and today I purchased book two :) I'm not eating anything at the moment but I will be eating pizza later also I will be drinking wine later.

Hi, I'm Jesse, and I'm here because I read book 1. I'm currently reading book 2, since it was delivered to my Paperwhite a little bit ago. Also, the "here" link above for the newsletter isn't a link for me...?

Hi I'm Carolyn. I have read the 1st book and am on chapter 32 of The Light who Binds and loving it! Also drinking a diet Cheerwine.

Hello i'm Joselyn i'm so excited it's almost time for the party yayy

Hi, I'm Nicole and I think I will go quickly and get myself some pretzels.
I am reall looking forward to this. I have read book one, listened to it on my re-read, finished with that today in time for the release of book two in the series :-)

Hi, I'm Michele and I have read book 1. I'm wishing I had another cup of coffee, it's only 10 here

Sounds delicious!

Sorry about the link. It should be fixed now. :)

I'm with Shauna and we are sharing frozen Margaritas. I also have pistachios. :)

Sorry, Lynn, the link was broken. It should be working now: http://bit.ly/1KhHk6d

Yup! Works now!

Hi Shauna, I was wondering what I should do to claim The Binding of the Wolf cause I'm already signed up with the newsletter and won't let me sign up with the same email?

If you're signed up for the newsletter, you'll automatically receive the book when Lilo emails it out tomorrow. It's a good one; I know you'll love it!

I was actually shocked that Amazon pushed the book out already. But you guys should try to wait till the end of the party to get it, if you haven't, as the winner of the games will get a free Kindle copy.

Oh goody, I was already signed up as well and it wouldn't let me redo it

Thank you.

You're welcome.

It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm really excited to get the party started!

Let's move over to the next thread, and then we'll get on to some fun games: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Okay! I'm moving over. :)

Well im glad I just updated my preferences on my emails for the newsletter I hadn't clicked for new book releases. Thanks for telling me about it being sent or I might not of checked lol.

Oh, and I'm sitting in my van (2014 Dodge Caravan, white) with the doors and windows open, and a decent breeze blowing through. My son's dog is sitting next to me, watching and smelling the wildlife. She looks and acts like a Basenji, but genetically she's a mutt. Which is good, because it's healthier that way. ANYWAY, I'm on a laptop, tethered through my phone's data service, while my phone draws power from my laptop, which is drawing power from an inverter plugged into the van...because I'm dressed in Elizabethan-ish clothing my wife put together for me, at an event - Ragnarok (put together by the Empire of Medieval Pursuits, and this year it's at a site near Washington's border with Canada).

Probably far more info than you were interested in. (:

Hi I'm Jasel. I just finished re-reading book 1 and can't wait to start book 2! I wanted to let you know just how very much I enjoyed Bluebell, she is an amazing blend of innocence, determination, and joy without too much angst even with her hard childhood. I read a lot of UF & PNR & Bluebell is a refreshing herione for me.
Oh I am drinking a frozen mocha because it is 87 ° here & it is only 1015am!

I really want a picture of your outfit.

BTW: I've purchased both the book and The Binding of the Wolf, because I can spare the money and I like supporting authors whose works I enjoy and want to see more of. (:

That sounds like fun! A picture would be nice...

Yes, I'll send the email out tomorrow with the link and the coupon code. Just be sure you have signed up for my Release News to get it. :)

Nice to meet you, Shauna. Congratulations Lilo on the release of The Light Who Binds. Looking forward to reading it.

I thought I had the time right, but I seem to have missed the party.

Hi, I'm Zelda. I loved the first book and can't wait for the rest of the series. I'm taking a break before my scheduled call with one of my BFF who now lives in Colorado.

Hi I am Patti. Read the first book and am anxiously awaiting the next. Moving to NC in 20 days. So frantically getting ready for packers.
