Surveys & Sign-ups! Seasons Greetings & Giveaways!

Twas the morning before Christmas, and all through my blog, not a creature was stirring—I spiked the eggnog.

Kidding, kidding. ;) This is my last post until January 07, 2013, so I wanted to go over a few quick things:

  Surveys

As we go into a new year, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the blog. To me, it's just as much yours as it is mine, so make your voice heard! :) Please click on the tag below to take the survey. It's only one question, and it just asks you to rank ten blog topics. Simple, right?

  Sign-ups

Tour sign-ups are still going on over at my website. You can choose to participate in the release day festivities, host a tour spot, or review an e-ARC on your book blog or website. (Details here.) Now, behold the badges!



Seasons Greetings


Merry Christmas! (Or whatever holiday you celebrate this time of year.) You are all so important to me, and I want you to know how much I appreciate your support and friendship. *Hugs*

Sadly, I can't afford to give you guys anything cool this year... but my publisher can!
