WHERE and HOW to get involved with Author Tessa Dawn and the BLOOD CURSE SERIES

Over the last few weeks, I have had such an overwhelming response to my request for a Street Team that I wanted to let ALL my friends, fans, and readers know about the various ways to get involved, show support, and just plain have fun with the Blood Curse Series.

While the Street Team is now closed for book #5, there are many other forums and options available for Blood Curse Series Readers...

~~~~~~~~~~

The BCS COMMUNITY FORUM

http://tessadawn.com/group

This is your typical drop in and chat group -- more like a BOOK CLUB -- and it's for anyone who wants to chat about the series (new and old readers alike). Anyone can create a topic, anyone can comment, and we discuss everything from vampires & Dark Fantasy to individual characters & specific books. The door is always open. 

The BLOOD CURSE SERIES FAN PAGE

https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Blood-Curse-Series-Fan-Page/166752026693861?ref=br_tf

This is a slightly more focused group ~ for those who consider themselves fans of the series (new or old!) You will always find the latest news here as well as other interested readers, so stop by and chat with the author, each other, or feel free to post comments and ask questions. You may share your love of Dark Moon Vale in whatever creative way you like. 

TESSA DAWN'S FACEBOOK HOMEPAGE

https://www.facebook.com/tessa.dawn.52

Readers can always find me on my primary facebook page. 

Whether you're new to the series, a long-time reader, or just checking things out for the first time, this page is for you.

If you like to get your news -- and leave your comments -- in 150 characters or less, then this option is for you. Keep up with BCS news and meet other readers. 

The BLOOD CURSE SERIES BLOG

http://blog.tessadawn.com/

While I'm not very good at posting unique blogs just to keep up my writing (LOL ;-)), if it's important or happening in the BCS world, it will make it onto the BLOG: 

New Release Announcements; Book Release Parties; Contests; and the like -- 

you can find them all here.

THE BLOOD CURSE SERIES STREET TEAM

This is a very active group, consisting of some of the most diehard BCS fans: All of these readers have read every book in the series ~ many of them have read them more than once! The purpose of the Street Team is to help promote the latest release, keep an active discussion going online, and more or less "beat the streets" on behalf of the Silivasis

and Dark Moon Vale.

Again, the Street Team is now closed (as of book #5, Blood Redemption); however, anyone who wants to help support the series is always welcome to do so -- and greatly appreciated! As new openings arise, I plan to rotate new members in.

THE BLOOD CURSE SERIES WEBSITE

http://tessadawn.com/

Read excerpts from the book(s); view trailers; peruse reviews; and learn about the characters. If it has anything to do with the series, you can find it on the website.

~~~~~~~~~

So there you have it: Ways to get involved, stay in touch, and have fun with other readers while enjoying the series. I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your passionate support and constant encouragement. You will never know how much your kindness means to me!

Until next time, stay positive!

STREET TEAM WANTED! :-)

Hey Blood Curse Series Fans, 

I'm looking for a handful of die-hard Dark Moon Vale enthusiasts to help get the word out about the upcoming Halloween release of BLOOD REDEMPTION (#5 in the Blood Curse Series). 

A Street Team pretty much travels all over the internet the week of a New Release and "shouts, blogs, posts, tweets, and pimps (did I say that?) the latest release & the series... . In short, they get the word out in spectacular fashion. 

In exchange, the author usually comes up with a few special perks -- or treats -- for the team. :-)

If this sounds like something you would like to do, and you have the time and enthusiasm to jump in with both fangs...I mean, er, feet...then please send an email to: author@tessadawn.com with "Street Team" in the subject and your direct email address in the body. 

Over the next couple of weeks, I will be contacting the team via email list to let them know what we hope to do and what I hope to provide in exchange... And for those of you who love the series but don't have time -- no worries! I couldn't adore ALL my readers more, and I'm looking forward to having a lot of fun with this new release...in all the ways we share our love of vampires .

Cheers!
Tessa
