With Promised<\/em> due out in less than a month, interested readers might care to know a few little fun things:<\/p>\n

1. Where It All Began<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first five chapters of Birthmarked<\/em> are up for free on Kindle <\/a>and Nook<\/a>. Don\u2019t have an ereader?

2. Paperback<\/p>\n
