No contest, but show me your pumpkins or costumes! Bonus points if a copy of one of the books is included. đ Here at the Harrison Household, I believe we gave away over 800 pieces of candy. Phew! I can’t tell you how much fun that was!
But I promised you a treat! From now until November third, you can get an ebook of Million Dollar Demon for less that two bucks at most major retailers. It’s a great way to round out your library, or get a friend hooked on the Hollows! Enjoy!

*** update: 6/13/22 *** We have our winners for the last two ARC give aways. Kelly and Wilda have already emailed me back to claim their copies. But thank you, everyone who as played along the last few weeks. Your interest makes me happy! –Kim
We are less than two weeks out from Trouble with the Cursed release: are you ready? I’m almost there, and I can’t wait to see you either at my two virtual events scheduled for the 14th, 16th (The amazing Charlaine Harris will be joining me on the Powell’s event!), or my first, post COVID, IN-PERSON SIGNING (!!!) on Friday, the 17th in Ann Arbor MI. If you want to take part in any of the events, you must register so they can send you the link to attend or in the case of the in-person signing, a block of time in which to approach the signing desk. This is Nicola’s first post COVID event, too, so we are both trying to find the best way to work it. (links at the website) We are planning for an outside event under the very large overhang, but if weather is bad, we will move inside.
But today, I have two more ARCS to give away! This week, I want to know who you think is the greatest threat to Rachel? Is it the DC vampires who don’t like her doing their job better than them? Or perhaps the humans, who don’t like her, period? Maybe it’s the elven dewar who sees her as a rebirth of their sworn enemies, the demons? Or possibly the witches coven who don’t want it known that they are in fact, stunted demons. Could it be the demons who want to catch her rising star and use it for themselves? Or maybe–it’s Rachel herself?
And because I like giving things away, if you email Tim your answer, you will be in the flash-giveaway for one of the last two ARCs ofTrouble with the Cursed. Want to enter? Here’s how this week!
Using an email you have access to for the next five days, email Tim at <coldtoastwritingsllc@comcast.net> Put “Rachel’s Nemesis” in the subject line so we know you’re entering the contest. In the email, tell me who you think Rachel’s greatest threat is. Tell me why you think so here and FB to help boost shares. One entry per household please.
I will cut off entries at midnight, PST on Monday, June 6th. I will announce the winner on Tuesday morning, AND email them for the address they want me to mail the ARC to as well as find out if and how they want me to sign it. Winners will have until the coming Thursday midnight to get back to me to claim the ARC and tell me their mailing address. If I don’t hear from you by Thursday midnight, the ARC is gone and I will find another way to give it away.
Books will go out UPS or USPS, whatever is best. Chance of winning depends upon how many enter. Winners will be chosen by a random number generator, and I can’t be responsible for mail that goes astray.
That’s it. I hope to see some of you the week of the 14th as I celebrate the release of Rachel’s next story.
Good luck!

***** UPDATE 5/27/22 ***** Chris and Lynn have won the two ARC giveaways. Come back Friday for a new question to answer to enter the next giveaway! Congratulations, Chris and Lynn! And thank you everyone who played along.
Carrie and Kell won the first two ARCs. But you have another chance to win it before it’s available!
Here’s how you enter:
Using an email you have access to for the next five days, email Tim at <coldtoastwritingsllc@comcast.net> Put “Favorite UF flick” in the subject line so we know you’re entering the contest. In the email, tell me your favorite Urban fantasy TV series or movie. (Tell me here as well for bonus points–which get you nothing except the chance to brag about your fav.) One entry per household please. (Unfortunately, I can no longer support making these available out of the U.S. due to sky rocking postal fees. Seriously, it is totally out of control. Iâm a little ticked off about it, and it sucks.)
I will cut off entries at midnight, PST on Monday, May 23. I will announce the winner on Tuesday morning, AND email them for the address they want me to mail the bound manuscript ARC to as well as find out if and how they want me to sign it. Winners will have until the coming Thursday midnight to get back to me to claim the ARC and tell me their mailing address. If I don’t hear from you by Thursday midnight, the ARC goes back in the pool and I will give it away with the other two next week.
ARCs have no cash value, and books will go out UPS or USPS, whatever is faster. Chance of winning depends upon how many enter. Winners will be chosen by a random number generator, and I can’t be responsible for mail that goes astray.
That’s it. But do come back next Friday to enter again with a new question. I’ve got a bunch of these to give away until release day on June 14th!
Don’t want to try your luck? Nicola’s is offering signed-to-you books. (order here) Purchased books will be shipped before the live event at Nicola’s on the 17th.
Yes, in addition to two virtual events, I have snagged ONE IN STORE SIGNING this year!!! Come out and see me June 17th. Due to long Covid policies, it won’t be a typical event with Q&A and pictures, but you can ask me questions at the signing desk. Nicolas is asking that everyone register with evenbright (link here) so they can call small batches up at a time to prevent a crowd and give you more time to shop. It will be outside in good weather, inside if not.
I can’t wait to see you!

***** UPDATE 5/20/22 ***** We have winners for the first ARC giveaways. Carrie and Kell both won, and have already e-mailed me back to claim their ARC! Congratulations, Carrie and Kell! And thank you everyone who played along.
Relationships in the Hollows hold no guarantee. Waxing and waining, they often end abruptly leaving a great gaping holes that I get emails about. Today, I want to know who your first Hollows crush is/was. Steadfast Ivy? Frenemey turned lover Trent? All powerful Big Al? Or a loving memory of Kisten, cut down as he became who he wanted to be? (or someone completely different?)
Sigh.
And because I like giving things away, if you email Tim your answer, you will be in the flash-giveaway for one of two ARCs of the next Hollows book, Trouble With The Cursed. It’s the first of four giveaways, so if you don’t get an email from me on Tuesday that you won, you can enter again next Friday with a new submission.

Good luck!
If you want to skip the chaos and pre-order a signed-to-you, personalized copy, Nicolas is currently the only outlet this year, and I don’t see that changing. (Nicola’s also has signed mass markets of Million Dollar Demon, which just came out!) You can find them at the end of the link. Kimâs home store, Nicolas
An-n-n-nd… if you are looking for a sneak peek of Trouble with the Cursed, I can do that! First chapter goodness is at the website. Sneak Peek

A visual feast for the eyes, the new Hollows cover! Ta-da! You have no idea how hard it has been to sit on this for as long as I have. I absolutely adore the pops of magic and and her hand poised as if signing a glyph. And then there’s her expression. (Happy sigh.) I hope you like it as much as I do. Look for it on June 14, but pre-ordering helps get around the current issues of paper, transport, and personnel. You don’t want to be sitting on June 14 without a book! (At least I hope you don’t…)
Trouble with the Cursed, June 14, 2022
As for the release, I know you have questions.
Yes, it will be coming out in audio and e-book the same day the HC drops, (June 14) Our intention is that Ms. Gavin will be reading it if schedules mesh properly.
Yes, I am again partnering with Nicolas to provide signed-to-you, personalized copies. I’ve worked for years with these people, and they truly try very hard to get your book to you on the drop-date. (link below)
No, I do not know if there will be any in-person signings and won’t for a while. I’m hopeful that I will be able to do at least a local signing at Nicolas, but I haven’t talked seriously with them about it because everything depends upon the state of the world.
Yes, you can pre-order now, from Nicolas or your favorite independent or big-box store, which might not be a bad idea as publishers use preorders to decide the initial print run, and with paper, personnel, and shipping being what they are, sooner is better than later.
New cover for the Hollows–almost! I’ll have it for you in it’s untwisted glory tomorrow, but for today, hints of magic swirling around Rachel. I truly love this cover, and I hope you do as well!

Yesterday I gave you a very twisted version of the next Hollows book, Trouble with the Cursed, showing you the color pallet. Today, I untwist it a little more to show you a hint of Rachel’s face. (Full cover on Friday!)

My editor surprised me with an absolutely gorgeous cover for the next Hollows book, my surprise being the timing, not how beautiful it is, and because I am the Queen of Delayed Gratification, I’m going to give it to you piecemeal over the next couple of days (full cover on Friday!) As you can see, we are going with a new color pallet this time. Gold! (Which is about how you guys have made me feel.) We also get to see Rachel’s face. đ

In the interests of getting these last two ARCS out before release date, I’m going to give away two ARCS this week!

Chance of winning depends upon how many enter. Winners will be chosen by a random number generator, and I can’t be responsible for mail that goes astray.
We are so close now to release I can almost taste it!

P.S. Sorry about being so late in posting this. I was not feeling _at all_ well this morning. I am fine, and I’ve had my COVID shot, so no worries! “See” you at the live events!

***** UPDATE 6/1/21 ***** We have a winner for the eighth of ten ARC giveaways. Kate has won the ARC, Rivky the shirt, and Molly the signed cover! Come back Friday for a new question to answer to enter the next giveaway! Congratulations, Kate, Ricky, and Molly! And thank you everyone who played along.
Two weeks! Two weeks, and you can have in your hot little hands, Million Dollar Demon and know just what trouble Rachel has gotten herself into now. Things are starting to really happen, and the excitement of a release is becoming real. No onsite signings this year, but I’m going in next week to sign the ones you’ve ordered from Nicolas, and I’ve got three live events scheduled for the 15, 16, and 17 where you can ask me a question. If you want to attend, get your invite now! (direct links at the website)
I’m going to miss seeing you guys, so much so that Tim dug deep into the back of our manuscript closet and found three 5X tour shirts left over from the Witch With no Name tour. (If you wear a small, they make good sleepwear.) We’re going to give one away this week to the second-place winner, and a signed cover to the third. First place winner still gets an ARC.
So, to enter to win the ARC, or the shirt, or the signed cover tell me if you have ever been to one of my signings.
Using an email you have access to for the next five days, email Tim at <coldtoastwritingsllc@comcast.net> Put “Hollows roadie” in the subject line so we know you’re entering the contest. In the email, tell me if you’ve been to one of my signings, and if not, where you want me to come next year when I can get out again. Tell me here and FB as well to help boost shares. One entry per household please.
I will cut off entries at midnight, PST on Monday, May 31st. I will announce the first, second, and third place winner on Tuesday morning, AND email them for the address they want me to mail their prize. Winners will have until the coming Thursday midnight to get back to me to claim their prize and tell me their mailing address. If I don’t hear from you by Thursday midnight, the prize goes back in the pool and I will give away two next week.
