Catching Fairies: A Contest Win!
May. 7th, 2009 08:56 amAs you all know, I enter a lot of contests online. (This is not, by the way, much different in feeling from writing grants, which I now do part time for my library. You follow the instructions, submit your application/entry, and then wait to see if you won. The only grant I've received thus far was right along with my usual track record: free books.)
Not too long ago, League of Reluctant Adults Member and soon-to-be-published Urban Fantasy novelist Kelly Meding hosted a trivia contest with some really excellent and tough questions. With the help of Lord Google, I searched for the answers while watching the finale of Chuck (which, if you haven't watched, it's not too late to start, and might help us fans get a third season). I wasn't sure I got all the answers (The Monster Squad question was the toughest), but I turned in what I'd figured out and crossed my fingers. Not only did I get them all right, I won Kelly's awesome prize pack!
So, soon, I'll be catching Victorian fairies with the best of them. (Other fae wouldn't really fit in the vial, so they have to be the Victorian kind.) Kelly's book Three Days to Dead comes out in late October, and hopefully we'll have her guest blogging here shortly before that. It's available for preorder at amazon, but keep an eye out for it this fall at bricks and mortar stores near you!
Meanwhile, I'm selecting the books that will be coming with me on the England trip, so I can do a books-on-tour project like I did last year in Greece and Turkey, which was tremendously fun. This year I'll be taking at least two hardcovers, because they just can't wait to be read 'til I get back!
