Kallypso Masters’s 2014 Appearances (Come meet her!)

I’m on a personal mission to meet all of my readers face to face. Of course, I know that’s impossible, BUT I try to get around as best I can to meet as many as possible! I used to wait for events to be arranged in the places I wanted to go, but since nothing ever happens on the West Coast, I decided to create two of my own! And I am hoping to get the lovely Kelly of this blog to join me at the one in the Seattle area next year. Otherwise, I’ll go hunt her down! Kelly has been a huge supporter of mine since before I was even published, so it will be long past time we meet!

When I meet readers, I give out Kally’s Friend buttons! (I only give those to people I’ve met face-to-face, even though I know I have lots of friends online I call my Masters Brats.) I just started that a few months ago, but still have lots of the 1800 I ordered, so be sure to ask for one if you see me anywhere!

In my plan to have as much time as possible at home to write Nobody’s Dream and possibly even a holiday novel with Adam and Karla (and the whole gang, of course), I’m only doing four big reader/author conferences in 2014 (and even fewer in 2015). But I’m also doing two events of my own on the West Coast (Seattle and San Diego areas) in October.

I also enjoyed my 10-day road trip of Texas earlier this year so much that I’m planning another for this year—this time in the Southeast (GA, FL, AL, MS and western TN/KY) for late June and early July. I’ll announce small gatherings with readers (my “Dinner with Kally” events in Atlanta and possibly other locations as I vacation and such). So come see me if I’m anywhere near you because it might be years before I get back to your area again!

Oh, and at each of the big conventions/conferences, I’ll be giving away one of my signature “bondage baby tigers” (in honor of Karla, Adam’s Kitten, and sometimes Baby Tiger). Toymaker (see photo of the Dom giving an electrifying demo at one of my events) put the plush animals in bondage. He’s so evil! (But I did ask him to!)

Arizona Dreamin’ (and Buildin’ the Dream, for writers) May 30 to June 1, Phoenix, AZ, area  http://arizonadreaminevent.com

BookBash, late June, Orlando, FL. (My 10-14 day road tour will be the week before and after BookBash weekend.) http://www.bookbash.net

Authors After Dark: August 6-10, Charlotte, NC http://www.authorsafterdark.org/

BDSM Writers Con: August 21-24, New York City, NY http://www.bdsmforwriters.com/BDSM_WRITERS_CON_2014.html

These two events hosted by me are still being planned but you can mark the dates down for sure.

BDSM Authors/Readers Get-together, Oct. 10-12, Seattle, Wash. area

I’ve invited some BDSM author friends to join me (and will share the names as soon as I get this nailed down) and we’ll have BDSM demos and experts to talk with us, a morning of panel discussions with the authors (sorry—all spots are filled; want to keep this small, intimate, and manageable), a public book signing, meals together, and lots of time to talk with favorite authors—and meet some new ones!

Annual Rescue Me Sightseeing Tour, Oct. 23-26, San Diego County, CA

Still trying to find an affordable place to hold this. Will be limited to 50 participants other than assistants, so it will fill quickly. We’ll visit sights in San Diego and Orange county where parts of my series was set, including La Jolla, Camp Pendleton, Thousand Steps Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, and Solano Beach (Eden Gardens).  I’ve checked the phases of the moon and this is the optimal weekend to have it so we can be SURE to make it inside the beach cave where Damian and Savannah had two major scenes—barring any major storms at sea. Here’s a pic of my first tour taken in May 2013. Tide was low, but STILL too high to get into the cave. Who knew the moon mattered in such things? I live in Kentucky! We don’t have tides!

My apologies to my Northern, Midwestern, and northeastern readers. I promise to focus on you in 2015!  There’s only so much Kally to spread around AND still have time to write books for all my readers, even the ones who will never get to one of my events!

Somebody’s Angel

Amazon| B&N

When Marc d’Alessio first rescued the curvaceous and spirited Italian Angelina Giardano at the Masters at Arms Club, he never expected her to turn his safe controlled life upside down and pull at his long-broken heartstrings. Months later the intense fire of their attraction still rages but something holds him back from committing to her completely. Worse, secrets and memories from his past join forces to further complicate his relationships with family, friends, and his beautiful Angel.

Angelina cannot give all of herself to someone who hides himself from her. She loves Marc, the BDSM world he brought her into, and the way their bodies respond to one another but she needs more. Though she destroyed the wolf mask he once wore, only he can remove the mask he dons daily to hide his emotions. In a desperate attempt to break through his defenses and reclaim her connection to the man she loves, she attempts a full frontal assault that sends him into a fast retreat, leaving her nobody’s angel once again.

Marc finds that running to the mountains no longer gives him solace but instead leaves him empty and alone. Angelina is the one woman worth the risk of opening his heart. Will he risk everything to become the man she deserves and the man he wants to be?

Free and Almost Free Books Available in the Rescue Me Series

For those new to this series who want a free glimpse into the Rescue Me world, you can get started with the FREE introduction, Masters at Arms. This book introduces six characters who will go on to have happily ever after Romances shared about them. (Adam & Karla, Damián & Savannah, Marc, and in a small part here but with more to come later, Grant.

But because I won’t want you to stop there, I’ve combined the first two books into one volume to make it easier. You get the first TWO books in the series—Masters at Arms & Nobody’s Angel—for only 99 cents! (Saves $3 off the previously published single, Nobody’s Angel. Nobody’s Angel introduces you to Angelina and shows her exploration into the world of BDSM. But Marc remained so closed off still in this book, I needed to give him time. He’ll reveal himself in the new release Somebody’s Angel, due out by Christmas.

You’ll find buy links to all of my books currently for sale at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, All Romance eBooks, Kobo, Apple, Smashwords, and CreateSpace (print versions), at my Ahh, Kallypso…the stories you tell blog page. (http://kallypsomasters.blogspot.com/p/books-by-kallypso-masters.htm)

Kally Loves Having Readers Join Her on this Journey

As those who follow me on Facebook know, I involve readers in the process of writing and story telling, as well. I’ll pose questions to them or post updates as to my progress, thought processes, oh and, yes, the occasional tease. I have a timeline profile (you must send a message along with a friend request to claim one of the remaining 275 spots before Facebook cuts me off!), an author page (https://www.facebook.com/KallypsoMastersAuthorPage)  you can follow, and even a series discussion group with 2700+ members there solely there to discuss this series. (To join the discussion group, send a friend request to Karla Montague (https://www.facebook.com/karla.montague.1)   Karla will add you to the group. Don’t be upset when she de-friends you after that. She’s strictly there to provide a portal to the group, which is where all the discussion takes place.)

I love meeting readers face to face, too (perhaps too much!). So if you are near any of my appearances (see my Web site http://kallypsomasters.com for a list), stop by and say hello! You don’t have to buy a book—I’m happy to sign swag or e-reader covers or just give hugs and have photos taken!

Giveaway Time! Free eBook & Swag in the Rescue Me Series!

I’m giving away a $5 Gift Card at each stop. Be sure to leave your email in your comment. I am also giving away a grand prize of a $500 Gift Card, be sure to fill out the rafflecopter to enter for that one.

As with all of my giveaways, this is open internationally. And we’ll also send through the mail some cool swag items, including this red Ka-thunk!™ pen, hand fan, a Masters Brat button, and other cool stuff! (I’m not mailing the swag out until my brand-new “Embrace your inner PRINCESS SLUT™” pens arrive, though. It’s a reference to a scene in Nobody’s Perfect.)
