"Name that Bordello" contest winner

The setting for Chapter 1 of Bewitched & Betrayed (aka Raine Benares #4) is a bordello -- den of iniquity, house of ill-repute, cat house, fun farm, call it what you will -- and I needed a name. It's a very high-class establishment; in fact, it's the Isle of Mid's finest bordello. I could come up with a name on my own, but I knew it'd be fun to ask you all for suggestions.

And suggest you did. ; ) Most of you sent an entire list of possible names, enlisted your friends' help -- heck, made a party game out of it. As many of you told me, "This is fun!"

I had just as much fun reading all of your entries, and believe me it was a tough choice, but I made one. I'll name the winner, as well as a list of Honorable Mentions -- or since it's a bordello, "Dishonorable Mention" ; )

The winner is an entry from Katherine Shaw -- The Satyr's Grove. I LOVED IT!

(Dis)honorable Mention goes to the following entries:

• The Coquette's Fan
• The Mermaid's Lagoon
• The King's Chambers
• The Guilded Nymph
• Amber Rose
• The Dragon's Treasure
• Taboo

Katherine's prize is that she will be listed on the "Acknowledgments" page for Bewitched & Betrayed for her creative contribution. Katherine, I can either phrase the acknowledgment so you can show it to your mother/grandmother/Sunday School teacher without embarrassment; or if you don't care what anyone thinks, I'll have fun with it. ; ) But I will get your approval on the wording before it's printed.

Again, thank you to everyone who entered! And there will be more contests between now and April 28, when The Trouble with Demons comes to a bookstore near you.

And beginning this week, I'll start answering some of your recent questions: How many agents did I query?, Did I sleep the night I got an agent and/or when I got an offer to publish MLTF?, And when did I tell my co-workers about my "second job"? How did I come up with the character of Talon?, How did I come up with my book titles?, and How minor characters suddenly become major characters.

BTW -- My cold is much better, and I've officially reached my weight loss goal with NutriSystem -- 25 lbs. I went from a Size 10 to a Size 4. WOOT!
