I'm All About the Pleasure at Novel Thoughts! & Krazy contest roundup

Hey, wow, my first guest post is up over at Novel Thoughts. I wrote about the little pleasures I most enjoy in books, both as a reader and a writer. Topics under discussion:

1. Why I like it when characters eat food in a way I can vicariously enjoy. (Surprised? Please, gentle reader, do not be. Allow me to direct your attention to pics #2 & 3 of the photo montage below)
2. I like when heroines get to wear pretty gowns. (Hence the Paris Hilton pic.)

3. The many delicious pleasures of the TORTURED HERO.

So, come visit! You can also WIN a copy of Mind Games there if you leave a comment!

Diana Rowland's Demontastic Contest from Hell

The prize pack for this contest here keeps growing. New Orleans style gift bags with $50 GCs in them, books galore (including a Mind Games!).

Got a messy book case?

This is a hilarious contest. And prizes: "We'll give an awesome mystery prize for the messiest bookshelf. You will at least get a coveted Devil Duck and shwag (not the medicinal kind)" So, does that mean EVERYBODY wins something? I think so!

My own damn contest

I made my own contest, and you can win a fabulous $100 or $50 dinner out, and it's also a game! Live it up. I will only make you shamelessly pimp my book on your blog or facebook as you enter.
