Snippet from The Trouble with Demons over at The Book Smugglers

Ana and Thea -- the wonderfully creative and book-crazed reviewers over at The Book Smugglers have come up with a whole month's worth of fun to celebrate books, the people who write them, and the people who love them. With a twist on their name, and a bow to one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes, they're calling their celebration Smugglivus. Go here for their explanation; it's great!

Today, I'm the featured author. And for my contribution, I sent them a funny snippet from The Trouble with Demons featuring Raine, Piaras, and Talon. Pop over to Ana & Thea's place, visit, read, and enjoy!

BTW -- I'll also be offering a book/book goodie prize pack for the winner of Ana & Thea's contest. Be sure to enter to win! The contest will run until December 20, and all you have to do is leave a comment on today's post over at The Book Smugglers. And for the heck of it, Thea & Ana would like to know if you're "Team Mychael" or "Team Tam" or "Team Whomever." See their post for details.

And next Monday, December 22 is the big day -- my Christmas present to you all! Chapters 1-3 of The Trouble with Demons will be posted for your reading enjoyment. You can access them either from the HOME page or the SAMPLE CHAPTERS page.

Happy Monday -- and Happy Smugglivus!
Lisa

I had almost forgotten how much I love Talon. Thank you for reminding me. *grabs an oxygen tank to breathe after laughing so hard*

Loved the snippet on the Book Smugglers site. I'm really looking forward to Chapters 1-3 but it could make it that much harder to wait until next year for the actual book.

Thanks for the blog Lisa. I really enjoy it.

Go team Mychael. Declaration of martial law. Talk about a big romantic gesture. :)

I had a random question. When you're typing up chapters and you say they are usually a certain number of pages long, do you set your margins and font etc. so that the page of the word document resembles the length of a page in a book, or do you just type with the regular margins and default font?

Thank you all!

Otto, I type with the preset margins, but use 12 point, Times New Roman.
