And the winner is...
Wow, when you're trying to keep quiet, it becomes a chore! I thought of at least five posts I wanted to make, but I refrained because of the contest. You're going to be hearing a lot from me in the next few days.
So Guide is out. I put a link in the sidebar, so people can find it. Now the blog can return to its regularly scheduled yammering and ranting.
Mrs. Giggles has already reviewed it (what a sweet lady!) and I feel blessed that she gave the book a 70. I didn't realize she dislikes chick-lit type books, but I did send her a copy. She expressed interest in my work a few months back, so I hooked her up when the time came. My only comment on the review is this: I've never read Bridget Jones or watched the movie, so if I wrote something similar, albeit with hotter sex, it wasn't a case of emulation. You know what they say about monkeys, typewriters and Shakespeare (not that Guide qualifies as any such thing).
I know you're all eager to find out who won the 50 bucks. So without further ado...
I need an email from you, ma'am. You won the loot and a copy of Guide, so contact me using the button on the upper left in the sidebar. Let's descend on Amy's blog and congratulate her!
There's a lot more coming this week, but for now, let's celebrate Amy's win and Guide's release. If you read it, be sure to email me and let me know what you thought. See, I have some openings for fangrrls and they get excellent perks. I could also use some haters to provoke the fangrrls. This is a ground floor opportunity with infinite potential (and it doesn't involve MLM or Tupperware!) Drop me a line, you know you want to.
PS - QB is totally right about blog karma. As soon as I posted the winner to this contest, I got an email from Jason Sizemore of Apex Digest, saying, "congratulations, you've won the slipcase edition of WETBONES as part of our Temple: Incarnations promotion." From this, I extrapolate, hey, I won a free book. Sweet! Thanks, Michele! She pointed me toward Temple in the first place.

And HUGE congrats to you, Annie!
You know, it's interesting that Mrs. G gave you such a good rating in spite of the fact that she doesn't care for chick-lit. I'm not a big chick-lit fan either, but since I usually enjoy more books than Mrs. G, and I already enjoy your "voice", I'm betting that I'm going to find Guide VERY enjoyable!
You're already on my Decadent Desires (TBP) list!
You can even email me, "You suck!" and I'll be tickled cos I like getting reader emails. If you email that, though, I do hope you add, "Freebird!" to the bottom of the note, cos that always makes me giggle in movies.
Ya know, when some hopeful newbie takes the stage? There's always a drunk in the audience who yells, "You suck! Freebird!" no matter what kind of music's being played...
Eh, I'm okay. Really.
small town girl in the big city, learning to believe in herself, etc
But there's no shopping therapy or name-brand dropping, which should make people happy. I hope I took the best parts of chick-lit and combined them with erotic romance. That was my intention, anyhow. And if you don't like this one, there's always the next. :)
"I barked a laugh loud enough to startle the cat."
Humor is so subjective, it tickles me to know other people find Guide funny too.
And am sending you loads of friendly, envious hatred *g!
