First winner of TTWD review contest
The winner of the first The Trouble with Demons review contest is . . . Kim Faughnan! Woot! Kim, if you'll email your mailing address to me, I'll get your prize pack in the mail to you ASAP.
For everyone else who entered, your names are automatically in the hat for next Saturday's drawing. And if you haven't had a chance to post a review and email me to enter, just do so by next Friday night. Scroll down to yesterday's blog for more details, or to my Wed. April 29 post for why I have this contest every year. Yes, there is a reason. And there will be plenty of other contests.
Close encounter of the Big Red Canine kind: I went to the Cary, NC, Barnes & Noble last night to sign the more orders for my books (Ray and Simone, your books will be shipped Monday). Derek & I had gone out to dinner with friends and dropped by the B&N so I could sign the books, and then we all had baked goodies in the coffee shop. Well, it was family night last night at our B&N, and Linda Maloof their fabulous CRM (Community Relations Manager) and the lady responsible for offering signed books to you all -- was there running the show and taking pictures of the kids with Clifford the Big Red Dog. And I do mean BIG, so big one kid was screaming -- the others couldn't wait to get their hands on him. It was a guy in like a 7-foot-tall blazing red dog suit. Naturally, Linda wanted a pic of me hugging Clifford. Now that's a photo op a girl simply can't turn down. It's amazing all the strange looks you get wrapping your arms around a guy in a big red dog suit in a coffee shop. Hmmm, I wonder what the guy in the dog suit thought of the whole author-hug experience? I'll ask Linda to email me the photo and I'll post it for you all.
Starting Monday, I'll be geting back to why a lot of you read my blog -- writing advice and experiences of a newbie author. Though since my third book just came out, I ain't so new anymore, but believe me, I have plenty of experiences to share. ; )
Have a great weekend! (I'll be finally finishing Chapter 22 of Bewitched & Betrayed -- man, that chapter has been a bear!)

That's so cool! Can't wait to see the photo!
Congratulations Kim!
Out of topic- The title "Bewitched & Betrayed " really scares me!
Congrats Kim!
Yeah, I'm with you, Suzana. The implications of the title hadn't hit me until yesterday. YIKES!
No need to worry about the title, ladies. ; )
I have, at long last, recieved (today) and read "the trouble with deamons"! Oh wow, A-star-mazing! Of coure, this is the first reading so I now need to read it again to pick up all the plot points and jokes I may have missed...
Keep up the good work for all your starving fans!
Thank you!!
Yay for finishing chapter twenty-two! You've been so close for awhile now I'm glad its finally coming along. And I think the title is amazing.
I can't wait to see the photo too!
Have an awesome weekend Lisa!
Thank you, Victoria!
Congratuations on out-stubborning a difficult chapter! I'm always amazed at how some sections are such bears to write, while others zip by so easily. {SMILE}

Congratulations on finishing chapter 22! And I'm Kim, so thanks everybody : ) I sent my address to you, Lisa.
I was worried about the title too, but awhile ago somebody else asked about it, and Lisa promised there was no need for tissues or anything of the sort.
I always loved Clifford! I'm really excited to see the photo :)
Loved TTWD! Thank you for maintaining such high standards in your work - I know the pressure to get out the next book coerce many authors to become repetitive but Raine stays original throughout all 3 books. Please post more out-takes- especially from TTWD. I cannot survive another year without Raine. Out-takes from MLTF were life-support while waiting for blog snippets.
Thank you, everyone!
And sorry Elizabeth, there were no outtakes from TTWD -- I used every last bit of what I wrote. But not to worry, I'll find some way to keep you all happy. ; )
