"No Hope for Gomez!" Birthday Party. Win kindles, iPods, and get free books!

“It's the age-old tale:      Boy meets girl.      Boy stalks girl.      Girl already has a stalker.      Boy becomes her stalker-stalker.”

It's hard to believe, but it's been a year since I handed in the final proofs for my weird little book ‘No Hope for Gomez!’ To celebrate this, and the fact that it just became a finalist in 2010's Best Book Awards, I decided to throw an international party. As I’ve had a debilitating fear of throwing parties and no-one showing up since early childhood, I’d be more than delighted if you’d come!

Of course, with every cool, international party comes a gift bag. Here's just some of the stuff attendants will get:

• ‘Unspent Time’ exclusive short story collection
• No Hope for Gomez: The Lost Chapters
• Making of Gomez: behind the scenes eBook
• Signed hi-res poster + bookplate

(These are all exclusive items and will not be available again.)

Additionally, several lucky attendants will win a Kindle or an iPod!

Oh yeah, you can bring as many friends as you like, just don't bring your crazy uncle who drinks too much and then tries to get me to go to the attic with him to see something wonderful. I've fallen for that before and I don't mind telling you, I came away very disappointed!

Find out how to attend HERE.

Gratitude Giveaway - Welcome Newcomers!! Review & Giveaway: The Case of the Terrible T.rex

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED!

 Gratitude Giveaways - Blog Follower Appreciation - A way to say thank you to your fabulous followers 
For this giveaway I wanted to feature a Kid's Book that I think would make a fabulous Christmas Gift for a kiddo on your list!

The Case of the Terrible T-rex by Michele Torrey
Book Description: “Did I just say that it doesn’t get any better?” asked Frisco. “Well, ha ha! I lied! Behold . . . the one and only . . . the best, the most fabulous and horrifying . . . ha ha! . . . BEAST!” And he whipped the curtain open.

“Oh my gosh!” cried Nell, her jaw dropping.
“Great Scott!” cried Drake, his knees turning to jelly.
“I can’t believe it!” cried Pepper. “It’s a T. rex!” . . .
Are you in danger of losing the fossil contest because your enemy has unearthed a full-size T-Rex skeleton? Has your oven suddenly started talking to you? Egads! There’s no time to lose! Doyle and Fossey are your only hope!

About the Author: I have always had a fascination with words and the power of language. When I read a beautifully-crafted sentence, I savor the words like one might savor a piece of chocolate. Combine the craft of language with fabulous story-telling, in which the characters are beloved (or hated!), where I can hardly put the book down long enough to feed the cat, and-sigh!-I’m in heaven.

I feel most aligned with the universe when I am actively writing; the art of language is embedded in my soul. When I’m writing, the hours fly by and, come the end of the day, I’m pleasantly weary. My writing has been an incredible journey. Go to FAQ to read more about my journey, plus my thoughts and advice on writing.

"After one last TV fix -- shots of their-man-in-the-pelting-rain, face screwed up against the wind; shots of palm trees doing the same dance as those in the courtyard -- I read a bit of Elmore Leonard and wend to bed early, about ten." The Hurricane Murders by David Holmberg
