Happy Friday, everyone! A few things…

1. There’s a new Cat and Muse interview up. Come on over and say hi to Nadine Dajani’s Ranya!

2. The lovely and talented Karen Mahoney has a contest on her blog: Red Friday — and one of the prizes is a copy of HELL’S BELLES. (The other books are RED by Jordan Summers and THE DEVIL’S DUE by Jenna Black. Oooh!)

3. I never picked a winner from the last AccessRomance contest because I officially suck. Why? (A) In the midst of day-job craziness, this totally slipped my mind. And (B) when I went to NYC to meet Richelle Mead…I totally forgot to have her sign the copy of SHADOW KISS. Duh. I will pick a winner this weekend and will mail the book to Richelle to have her sign it and then send onto the winner. Sorry, sorry, sorry…

4. Tons of great books out there, including the aforementioned Jenna Black’s latest, THE DEVIL’S DUE, John Levitt’s NEW TRICKS, and Di Francis’ THE BLACK SHIP. These incredible authors are part of the SFNovelists network. Excellent stuff at the website; you should check it out.
