Contest winner and new design contest

The winner of the second The Trouble with Demons review contest is . . . Patty Vasquez! Woot! Patty, I'll get your prize pack (T-shirt of TTWD cover, TTWD cover keychain, fridge magnets, signed bookmarks) in the mail to you ASAP.

I have a favor to ask of all of you, and to make it even more fun, I'll turn it into a contest. My CafePress store needs updating. I eventually will be offering prints of the map of Raine's world that's in the front of The Trouble with Demons. Though before I go to the expense of having it made, would anyone be interested in a print/poster of the map? Just let me know if that's something you think you might be interested in buying. And if enough of you want it, I'll have it made so you can get your hot little hands on it. It'd be a smaller print size and poster size (I believe CafePress offers both.)

But I need new t-shirt and merchandise ideas. I need new designs and cool slogans -- preferably related to my books, but writer-related stuff would be great, too. BTW -- The writer-related ideas MUST be original, I don't want to get slapped with a lawsuit for swiping and selling someone else's idea. ; ) One idea I'd recently come up with is: I'm not weird. I'm a writer. It'd look great on a black t-shirt. Heck, I'd buy that one; it's the story of my life. ; )

HOWEVER, I don't just need ideas, I need a graphic artist to create the designs for me. My graphic artist is on the verge of giving birth to her second child (yea, Elyse & Webmaster Todd!), so I'll need some design help. And I'll make it worth your while with book swag/and a Barnes & Noble gift card. The same with the design ideas. If it knocks my socks off, there will be prizes coming your way.

So okay, everybody -- if you're an idea person or a design person, LET ME KNOW (via email so I can keep track of them at lisa @ lisashearin.com) if you'd be interested in helping me update my CafePress store, winning prizes, and earning my eternal gratitude.

Have a great weekend!
Lisa

Are you looking for Raine's quotations?
I think that Benares family slogans would work very well- something like "There's no shame in running, just in being caught".
( :D Would that ne promoting criminal activity? :D )

Suzana, short (t-shirt sized) quotes from the books would be great.

Everyone, email them to me as you think of them. I've started a folder to keep track of them all.

Thank you!!

I'll start thinking on some things : )

and what type of things do you want from the graphic design artist? because I'd be happy to help, if I'm any use

Hmmm, on further thought, I think I'll just go with slogans/book quotes for now. I've got a lot of book work going on right now, so I think I'll keep this round of store updates simple. I'll talk more about it on tomorrow's blog.
