Back from RT...and a new winner for a long since closed contest.

After a week in Chicago for the Romantic Times Convention, I am exhausted and have no voice, but I had a great time. Definitely glad I went. Met some of my awesome readers and colleagues, ate some absurdly overpriced food, and went to some fantastic panels. Already saving my pennies so I can go to RT 2013 in Kansas City.

Now, a few months ago, some of you may remember that I held a contest to name the band in Fauxhawks & Flashcards. That contest was here, and the winner was announced here. And F&F is still going to happen, but another plot bunny has elbowed its way to the front of the line and demanded to be written. However, the new story -- Enjoy the Silence -- has not one but two bands, which means I need two band names.

So, I have gone through the submissions for the contest and selected another winner, who will be mentioned alongside Julianna (who named Carnal Malefactors) in Enjoy the Silence, as well as receiving a free copy of an ebook off my backlist:

Shae, if you could please drop me an e-mail with your preferred title and format, I'll send the book off to you ASAP!

A Winner, and a Band with a Name!

First, I want to say thanks to everyone who participated in the Name a Band, Win a Book contest! There were some awesome submissions, and it was definitely not an easy choice. After much consideration, the winner has been selected.

Congratulations to:

Juliana

For her suggestion of

Carnal Malefactors

Juliana, I will contact you shortly to find out which book you'd like. The band, now called Carnal Malefactors, will appear in Faux Hawks & Flash Cards, and Juliana gets a nod in the acknowledgments.

Thank you again to everyone else, and if you haven't already, check out the link and read some of the other submissions, because they were awesome.
