These Seven Things

As advertised, yes, I'm giving away an autographed copy of Linger that the queen of YA, Maggie Stiefvater, herself drew a wolf in. But not till after everything else. Haha! Made you look! I'm feeling kinda quirky today. Can you tell?

                                       Anyhow...
1. Me: "Agents are practically begging for realistic YA romances."
    Emil: "Maybe, you should write one."
    Me: "I read paranormal romances. It's what I love. I'm going to write paranormal and if they want to buy it they will, and if they don't they won't."
    Emil: Laughs."That's funny, the way you say it."
    Me: "I just relate to paranormal people better."
    Emil: "You're weird."
What's the point? I seriously don't know, but I thought it was funny.
2. Miranda: "Did you ever clamp butterfly clippies all over your velvet dress?"
    Me: "Yes, in the 9th grade. I got stares and snickers--it's a hard life."
    Miranda: Hahaha. "I thought I remembered that, but I wasn't sure."
The point in this one? You can still vote for my short story Home at death match
until midnight tomorrow.
3. Amy Holder is giving away ARCs of her book The Lipstick Laws and a few $30 Amazon gift cards, to find out details about the contest check out her site. The rules are fairly simple--follow her and fb or tweet it.
4. My posts may be sporadic the next few days, as my currently annoying, normally adoring husband, and I are going to Vegas/AZ/CA tomorrow.
5. I'm hoping to have my current edits done by Sept. 1st.
6. I'm delaying diverging into details about my Linger give away by writing more text primarily to annoy my husband, because he is really annoying me...
7. AND NOW THE MOMENT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR....





















 Okay, you want the autographed  and doodled copy of Linger--"Follow me and it'll be alright."  Except for you Emil.

    I just wanted to tell you to enjoy Vegas; it's a wonderful, crazy, maybe beautiful city.
