My bookmarks, let me show you them
More show and tell today.
These are the bookmarks that will be available at various events, starting with RT. I'd only intended to get a few hundred, but since Bettie did such an amazing job on them, I'm definitely getting a bunch. What do you think? Pretty hot, right?
The Bettie of whom I speak is, of course, Bettie Sharpe, who wrote the awesome serial story Ember, which has been running weekly on Bam's blog. She's also got a novella, Like a Thief in the Night, coming out with Samhain in January. "She’s a heartless assassin; he’s an immortal thief. In another life, they would have been lovers. In this one, he’s her target and she’s his prize." What could possibly be better than that? Well, only a full length novel. You're not going to want to miss it.
How did I wind up with Bettie doing design work for me? Well, I fell in love with the cover for Ember, and I surfed over to her website, where I found a gorgeous banner for her novella as well. So I emailed her to ask who does her design work. Imagine my surprise when I found out she's a double-threat, an amazingly gifted author who can design gorgeous stuff like this too. Holy crap. I hired her immediately, and set her to work making beautiful things for me too. Mwahahaha!
I'm thrilled with these bookmarks, as you can well imagine. As Rick said in Casablanca: Bettie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Happy black friday
I hope all of you are enjoying your day off. It's business as usual around here. I made a roast chicken, homemade stuffing and corn on the cob last night. We ate off the good china and drank from wine glasses. The kids seemed to get a kick out of it.
But it's hard to celebrate a holiday that isn't a holiday. This has been a tough week. I'm happy to report that the Tuesday night run to the hospital wasn't as bad as we thought, and my daughter's doing fine. But I'm frazzled.
Because I don't feel up to a lengthy blog entry, I'm just gonna post this. The cover flats came in the mail this week (yay!) and I did the best I could with our scanner. Click on the pic for a better look. It's even better in person, soooo glossy and shiny.
Pretty cool, huh?
Have a great weekend, and don't forget my monthly contest on the loop. We're talking about books, as usual, and if you're not a member of my Google group, you're missing out. Join here!

Which Boundless hero is right for you?
| Which Boundless hero is right for you? |
Dev Dev is your true demon lover! By turns tender, impassioned, and playful, Dev yearns for someone to love him. He's willing to do anything to be with you. He's spent countless lifetimes looking for someone just like you, and now that he's found you, he's never letting you go. He needs someone like you to teach him about real love and longing. |
| How do you find your hero? Take this test! |
To enter, here are your options. Take this test, and post your results in the comments here. That's good for one entry. For a second entry, post your quiz results on your blog, along with a purchase link to Boundless. For a third entry, buy Boundless and email me a copy of the receipt you get from Liquid Silver. So that's a total of three ways you can win. Yeah, the people who do all three will have the best chances of walking away with the loot. I don't want to leave out blog-less folks, but I also intend to reward those who pimp us and/or buy the book.
The prize? I thought you'd never ask.
It's a $40 Amazon gift certificate, courtesy of Dionne, Bonnie and me. We're going to run this contest for a full week, which means announcing the winner on September 12. Let the pimpage and purchases begin!
PS - Pimpage should flow both ways, so be sure to stop by Lauren Dane's blog and read about her awesome new release Fire and Rain.
