READ THE RULES

Up for grabs:

A one of a kind bound galley of Simon Baptiste’s book. This book will be released from Brava late next year. I have no title, no cover copy. And the finished product may be revised and somewhat different than the manuscript. I have no doubt there are tons of typos as this is totally unedited. But it can be yours to read now if you feel like slogging through!

Post to the comments if you’d like a chance to win, and I’ll draw a name from the commenters Monday night, September 3, 2007, at 8:00 p.m.ish CDT.

?When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.? Mark Twain

READ THE RULES

Up for grabs:

When I finish writing my current Brava, Finn and Olivia’s story, I’ll be starting on my next. The heroine of that book will be working in an interior design firm, and I believe will be starting her own, still pondering that. The winner of this prize will get to name the firm where she’s currently working along with one of her co-workers.

(This giveaway is subject to me changing my mind on the plot – but the winner will get to name both a character and a location in my next Brava manuscript.)

First person to post an answer to this question wins:

What five U.S. states are the settings for all the SG-5 books – even those still not published? (The last one, the one mentioned above that I’ve never blogged about, takes place in a state that has already been used, so this isn’t really a trick question! THE PERFECT STRANGER takes place on the fictional Caribbean island of San Torisco, and that’s not one of the answers.)

SHaQ Attack Friday!

Friday, August 31st, 2007
Donna Kauffman Icon

So….Waaaaaahmber did indeed go home this week (as 99.9% of the Blog Babes predicted.) I was perfectly happy with that outcome. Also, this just in. Julie Chen? Please, don’t ever say “play-ah” again. And who’da thunk Eric’s brothers would be so attractive? The on-again, off-again girlfriend? Yeah, can we say “I’m only On Again for my 15 Minutes Of Fame?” Oh, that’s right, you already had your 15 minutes on So You Think You Can Dance, where Mary and Mia both told you that dancing? Not so much for you. Yikes. Who will win the HOH this week? I haven’t peeked on the live thread bb’s – mostly because, do we really care? I would love to see Zach get it, and send the Donato’s home. I understand it’s a double eviction week next week. Woo hoo! Speed this up, Big Brother!

Now on to the only real thing of interest….who is this week’s winning Blog Babe! Most of you guessed Amber this week, so there was a big pile to choose from, but the winner this week is Diana P! Woo hoo!!

Hope everyone has a great Labor Day Weekend to celebrate the end of summer (as we know it anyway.) I will be back on Tuesday with a new SHaQ Attack contest.

Meet our new neighbor

Yes, I realize he’s adorable, but trust me, his momma? Not so much. She’s seven hundred and fifty pounds of grumpiness who had a party in our trash box yesterday, literally tearing off the door (which you can see under the can) to get to our yummy garbage for her babies.

And yeah, we had to clean it all up! There are apparently no trash fairies …

He Said It

I was reading an article on Jeff Lindsay, the author of Darkly Dreaming Dexter and Dearly Devoted Dexter about a serial killer who kills bad guys. The Showtime series Dexter is based on Lindsay’s character.

Lindsay said this of writing:

I don’t know if it’s possible to be a writer and be normal. It’s not a normal occupation. I know I’m deeply neurotic, and I’m comfortable with that.

Uh-huh. What he said.
