As I mentioned earlier today, I’ve accumulated a surplus of prizes that I’ll be giving away between 8/4/10 and 8/11/10.

I’ll announce a winning number each day — if you picked up chocolate in the Goody Room at RWA National last week and kept the wrapper, check the back to see if you won. Or if you don’t have a chocolate wrapper, email me and request a number.

If you were at RWA National last week and stopped by the Goody Room and picked up a chocolate, now’s the time to check the number on your wrapper.

And, if you did not attend National - or the chocolate was gone by the time you made it to the Goody Room - send me an email and I’ll send you a number.

Ready, set … please stop by later this evening for the first winner!

While traipsing around to 30+ Bay Area bookstores to sign stock copies of MEN ON FIRE last weekend, I scoured the bookstores for costumed employees. Surprisingly, on Halloween, I only found these few brave souls.

Help me reward them for their bravery - and their hard work in selling our books! - by voting for your favorite costume. The winning Barnes and Noble or Borders employee will win a $20 Macy’s gift card. So, PLEASE vote now!
