Brains…it’s what’s for dinner

11 May 2010 Jackie 0

It’s not often that I receive a book in the mail that totally makes me laugh just by reading its cover.  Seriously, the gods wanted this book to stand out since it arrived in the pouring rain (today was one of those perfect curl up in front of the fire […]

Dragon Revelations

10 May 2010 Jackie 0

I’m still working on the newsletter, but since I had to wade through the May posts to get to anything I missed in April, I have some things I can give you now. The newsletter will be up later tonight. I just need to go through the various author websites and get the master interview list compiled (which will be posted via facebook). I hope you guys can forgive me for not posting it sooner than this. I haven’t missed a newsletter since I started LE and I really am not going to start now, so there will be one.

Stevens and Cready Contest Winners!

5 May 2010 Jackie 2

Before I announce the winners for the Gabi Stevens and Gwyn Cready contests, I wanted to make sure everyone knew about the current contests at Literary Escapism:

  1. Jaime Rush is giving away a signed copy (and bookplate) of Touching Darkness. Contest ends May 11th.
  2. It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in an effort to help raise money for the Susan G. Komen race, I’m offering up 24 books to an undetermined amount of winners (each winner will get at least 2, it depends on how many people enter. Right now, there are 2 – so really good odds). Contest ends May 22nd
  3. I’m giving away two $15 gift certificates with a plea of helping Jesse and I name the new monkey. Contest ends August 26th or there about. FYI for anyone who has already answered, Jesse has vetoed the name Asher as well as my pick. :(
