New Contest!

Okay, I haven't had a contest for you all in a while, so here goes. . .

Who is your favorite character from my books and why? Or if you have more than one favorite, feel free to do a "who & why" for more than one. I'm really interested in hearing WHY you like the character(s) you do.

"What are the prizes?" you ask. "What's in it for us?"

Well, there will be three prizes given: 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place. I'm not expecting essays here; but I'd like to have more than: "I love Mychael/Tam because they're hot." Put a little more thought into it. As I've said before, I'm love hearing your feedback and what you think. I write these books for you guys, so tell me the reasons why you like the character(s) that you do. I was going to have the entries judged by an "impartial third party," but heck, I'm the one who wants to read your answers, so I'll be doing the judging myself. My criteria will be how interesting and just plain cool your responses are. Other than that, I won't know until I see them.

First place: Is a t-shirt with the cover for The Trouble with Demons.
I wish I could offer these for sale on my CafePress site, but I don't have the copyright to the art, so I can't sell t-shirts with my book covers on them. BUT, I can give them away. The t-shirt is a Large and the cover takes up pretty much the entire chest area.

Second place: Is a cover flat as well as a fridge magnet for The Trouble with Demons.
A cover flat is exactly that -- a flat version of the entire cover (front and back). I'll personalize and sign them for you.

Third place -- Is a collection of fridge magnets for the covers of all three of my books:
Magic Lost, Trouble Found, Armed & Magical, and The Trouble with Demons. I'll also throw in signed & personalized postcards for all three books, as well as bookmarks.

Get your entries to me by Friday, January 16 and I'll announce the three winners on Monday, January 19. Send them to lisa @ lisashearin.com or if you are one of those who have had trouble contacting me on that email address, send it to lisashearin @ gmail.com.

Coming up tomorrow:
Pics and information about a cool new book that I'm in. Some of you pre-published authors will be interested in this one. ; )

Try to have yourselves a great Monday!
Lisa

This sounds like fun! Are you going to post some of the reasons on here after?

So, should we do this in an essay format? And if so, what's our page limitation?

Diana, no limitation, though don't make yourself crazy over it. The first entry had two characters in two paragraphs. Worked great for me. Though if you want to do more, that's fine.
