PRIME EVIL releases
tomorrow and will be available from multiple sources including Amazon,
Mobipocket and directly from
Sapphire Blue Publishing. Itโs a thrill to know youโll
be able to buy a copy and read soon! Remember that I will donate $0.25 of every
sale to the World Wildlife Fund! I'll be spending some time on the virtual road
visiting other blogs, so be sure to follow along!
Fresh Vampires
Candace Havens and
Rosemary Clement-Moore
joined Fresh Fictionโs
Gwen Reyes for a fresh look at vampires in young
adult fiction yesterday.
The panel was a lot of fun as they discussed the bad boy aspects of vampires,
their innate sexiness and whether or not being turned into a vampire was a good
idea (Rosemary was firmly in the no category). The consensus, however, was that
fresh tropes on the vampire mythos is always welcome, but your vampires must
have their weaknesses and not be completely invincible. Great times!
Saturday Smack Down
Saturday Smack Down is a new
feature, so be sure to check out yesterdayโs showdown between Clayton Danvers
(
Kelley Armstrong) and Charles Cornick (
Patricia Briggs). Voting
is open until next Friday at midnight. The winner will be posted next Saturday
and one name will be drawn from those who comment to win a book from either
Briggs or Armstrong!
Daily Dose Holiday Giveaway
As we go into the holiday season, I have been asking myself what I can do or how
I can give to others. It has been a tough year for our family and a tough year
for many families whether it is our soldiers fighting overseas, their families
waiting at home, death in the families, divorces or economic hard times.
We are very familiar with the choke of the times. At the Daily Dose, I wanted to
give something back this holiday season. Years ago, one of our local radio
stations used to have write ins for people to nominate families for Christmas or
holiday gift certificates. Nominated families or individuals included those who
really were not going to have much to celebrate because they couldn't afford
gifts or decorations or a big Christmas meal.
Beginning
November 27 and lasting until
December 19, the Daily
Dose will host a holiday give away post featuring the item and author who is
giving it away. To enter, all someone has to do is nominate the person they want
to send the gift to and post a short reason why. If that person wins, then the
gift will be sent to the recipient with a note wishing them a happy holiday
season signed from the author giving it away, the Daily Dose and of course the
person who entered them.
So far, we have several authors and items pledged to this effort. Stay tuned to
the Daily Dose and be sure to visit daily throughout the holiday season and
nominate those you love and care about and send them a gift โ and yes, I will
send them around the world!
Holiday Giveaway Rules
For a chance to win:
1. Nominate the person you want to send that dayโs gift to and a short reason as
