To kick the week off with a smile, here's a link to a comic strip that hit my funnybone. Oooh, another one. This site is addictive. Don't say I didn't warn you ;-)

More good news! I've been invited to be part of a rockin' anthology next year. Who else is in it? Why, some of my favorite people!
Yippee!

First up - if you've been by the website, you'll know that BooksOnBoard is currently running a promotion on all my titles in ebook format. They've now increased the discount offered to 28% off the Publisher's List price - just input NaliniOnBoard as your promo code on checkout. :-)
TGTBU is currently running a Valenduckie week. Lots of prizes and fun posts themed around Valentine's Day, so check it out.
Re the chat/discussion of Mine to Possess & the series in general: we've settled on Wednesday, Feb the 20th. I'm thinking later in the day/eveningish would probably suit everyone best. Let me know if you agree/disagree. If you can't make the chat, don't worry. I'll open up a spoiler thread on the blog on the same date.
Also, I haven't forgotten about the Reader Interviews! I've got some great ones ready to post - I'm thinking I might do a couple back to back so we can get all caught up.
Happy Tuesday!

A quick note to say that I'm a bit backlogged re emails, so if you've emailed me and haven't heard back yet, gimme a few more hours. I'm going to try to clear the decks before I dive back into Hostage to Pleasure.

"Amazon.com Inc., which has sold more than 12 million Harry Potter books online, said it bought J.K. Rowling's handwritten volume of fairy tales for 1.95 million pounds ($3.98 million) at a London charity auction yesterday...." Full story here.

First up, I've been asked whether there will be a Mine to Possess ARC contest. I'm working on the details. Hopefully I'll have something to announce mid to late next week. :-)
Now, onto the links:

Writer Unboxed has a very interesting interview with agent Donald Maass. This is part 1 (part 2 goes up next week).
Fellow Kiwi Yvonne Lindsay has up a thought-provoking post on backcover blurbs and reader expectations.
Historical and paranormal author Kresley Cole talks about her First Sale at Dear Author.
Paperback writer Lynn Viehl has the finalized cover art for Twilight Falls.
Next week, author Ann Aguirre will be holding a week-long Early Christmas with guests and giveaways.
Fellow Berkley Babe Saskia Walker is holding a contest to win a copy of the Naughty or Nice anthology - you have until Monday to enter. And just for fun, turn on the sound and check out this video (for everyone who likes shoes, handbags and hunks...). (Link grabbed from Saskia's blog).
Hope you all have a great weekend!
