let the countdown begin!
Yes, it’s true! Only one short week left until you can get your hands on a copy of THE BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. Ooooh, I’m so excited, I can hardly stand it. (Much like The Night Before Christmas, if you must know. :present: )
I’ve also got three pieces of fun information to share today:
First, I am guest blogging today at our own Darling Jessica‘s website, Smile, Feel Good, Pass it On.
She luuurved her ARC of THE BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS so much that she’s invited me over to pimp the book. And not just for today. Oh, no…this girl knows how to throw a party. :party: First, she teased her visitors with this string of garlic. Then she decided to let me take over her little corner of cyberspace for not one day, but three!
That’s right, Darling Jessica will be breaking up my very fun interview into two parts—Monday & Tuesday—then announcing the winner of the giveaway & pimping BITE even harder on Wednesday.
And what, you may be wondering, will I be giving away? Why, an ARC of THE BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, of course. :vampire: Yes, another one. I’ve only got a few left, but I couldn’t think of a better opportunity to share a sneak peek of this book I am so very excited about.
Speaking of ARCs for THE BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, it’s time to announce the winner of last week’s Free Book Friday!
Christy H.!!!
Congratulations, Christy! Thanks for dropping in for our first ever Free Book Friday. And I hope you’re still hanging around to collect your prize. Please contact me with your name & mailing address & I’ll get your ARC of THE BITE BEFORE CHRSTMAS—along with a handful of other fun goodies—out to you as soon as I can.
Last but not least, you may have noticed that we have gravatars now in the comment section of The Dungeon. In case you aren’t familiar with what a gravatar is, it’s those little pics beside each person’s name when they leave a comment on the blog. Mine is the cover of BITE, others sometimes use graphics of their own choice, & if you aren’t set up with a gravatar of your choice, then it will show up as one of those funny faces.
I started to realize that maybe not everybody knows how to get one, though. So if you’ve been wondering & wanting a personalized gravatar of your very own, I thought I’d tell you how. It’s really easy. :yes:
First, simply go to Gravatar.com. There will be a button that says “Get Your Gravatar today!” Click on that & open an account with them. Take note: Whatever e-mail address you use to set up this account will forever (or at least until you change it LOL) be connected to the graphic you pick as your gravatar, so be sure it’s the address you’ll be using when you blog.
And it helps if you have a gravatar picked out already, too. You can find these at Photobucket.com or use a personal photograph or whatever. Just make sure you have the picture/graphic saved on your computer because that’s where Gravatar will ask you to browse when you’re choosing.
Follow Gravatar’s instructions (which are pretty easy) & add the photo/graphic of your choice. Voila! You’re done. Now, whenever you leave a comment at a website that asks for your e-mail address & allows gravatars, that’s the pic that will show up.
And not to worry; you can change your gravatar anytime you like. Just log back into Gravatar & set up a new one. You can also, if you’d like, open more than one account so you can have a certain gravatar for some of your posts & another for others. I did this for myself & Mistress Heidi, & Darling Laura did it so she could have her pimp hat just for playing here in The Dungeon.
Good luck, have fun, & hopefully we’ll see a few more personalized gravatars vying for attention here soon. :beauty:
