Contains a Disillusionist novella + two other awesome ones.
Book #2 of the Disillusionists Trilogy. People change. Big things happen! (Bantam/Spectra)
Book #1 of my UF trilogy, Mind Games, about a hypochondriac heroine who joins a psychological hit squad in a fantastical Midwestern city. (Bantam/Spectra)
I'm an urban fantasy author living in Minneapolis with my excellent husband and two daring cats. I enjoy reading and running, and I'm big on psychological intrigues and plotty mysteries. And also helping animals! I write the disillusionists trilogy (MIND GAMES, DOUBLE CROSS and HEAD RUSH) and assorted other tales.

I can't believe you would exploit that sweet little cat for a Sony Reader.
You should be ashamed of yourself. And if I knew how to make these words go italic I would have italicised 'ashamed'.
oooooh! Iron Kissed won!!! *excited dance*
I love this picture. I love his face: "What? You didn't want this stuff everywhere?!"
So funny! And YAY for you, Iron Kissed won!
Tumperkin: I am ashamed! Also, damn, I'm running out of cute kitty pics and the finals are almost here!!
Kati: Yes, that was our recycling corner!
I LOVE Lisa Kleypas, but I voted for IK, just for you.
Now you must win.
Jill, thanks SO much!!!
Have voted!!!! The kitty is too cute. :)
For you--anything *wink* I actually have this book in my tbr. Looks like a good one.
I'm out of the running, BED lost. So I'll vote for Iron Kissed in the final.
Hope you win CJ!
I'm out now too! So Iron Kissed will be my final vote.
Thanks SO much you guys! You are the best!!!
I voted for the spymaster!
My best friend always says, if you've got it, flaunt it. So I say use the kitty photos....they work on me :)
I'm out too (including on the second chance draw) so I'm heading off to vote...
Fingers crossed for you, CJ! Voted for your slate. Might as well put my votes to some good use, since I'm nowhere near winning. lol
Thanks SO much! I am just so shocked I'm in second place!
