Seeing authors give away prizes on their blogs is practically a daily occurrence in the blogosphere. Readers have fun participating in book discussions, learning about authors and their books, and its a great way for authors to promote some buzz about their work or the work of a colleague. But tonight, Mark Henry made the most awesome presentation of a prize package EVER! ... and I'm not just saying that because I won. Seriously, Mark is awesome. Go check it out HERE. I mean... the dude dedicated a song to me. Sort of. Well, I'm thinking of it that way, anyway. Because honestly, why not? It feels good. Thanks, Mark! :)
And psssst! The prize package included not one, but two vials of genuine zombie plague! Whoo hoo! I wonder what I could use that for.... 
The League of Reluctant Adults is a really fun blog run by urban fantasy authors Mark Henry, Anton Strout, Jill Myles, and Stacia Kane. Last week Stacia hosted a Book Club for Mark's novel, The Happy Hour of the Damned for which she posted a discussion topic each day of the week. Readers discussed all sorts of fun aspects of the novel with Mark. If you haven't yet read his novel, go check out the posts and get a glimpse of Mark's fun sense of humor and his entertaining zomedy style (zomedy = zombie comedy). Be forewarned, though. You're going to want to read his book!
That's awsome! Now I am going to have to track his book down!
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute! Enjoy the book. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Christine! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for refraining from mentioning that I ran the worst, most unintellectual book club EVER. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
I won a copy of this book over at the Maria Acosta's place and haven't gotten around too it. I think it is going to be a get chicken out night b/c it's so good. I am waiting for a nice slow weekend to sink my teeth into it!
ReplyDeletestacia- Oh just you wait. If you want to see an incoherent, unintellectual book club, come see mine next Friday. I have no idea what to ask people. It is going to be a sad, sad thing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Christine. That is totally awesome. I cannot wait to hear what you have to say about it. I have only heard good things. I have to put it on my TBR pile
ReplyDeleteStacia's nuts. That book club was awesome. Happy Hour would have tanked in an intellectual discussion.
ReplyDeleteCongrats again, Christine.
I'm off the post office!
Stacia is nuts. It was a great book club. They always are over there at The League of Reluctant Adults.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark! :)
Hey Christine! Yeah, most of the time I try to read a series in order but in this case, Hidden can stand alone - yay! - and I had an opportunity to get an ARC of it before I could Driven so I definitely jumped on it!
ReplyDeleteI got my ARC from Dorchester as well, are you part of the Buzz Campaign for it?
Anyway, can't wait to read your review! :)
Wooohhooo, C!!!
ReplyDeleteZombie blood, eh? hmmm...wonder if it smells like baby powder? O.O
Congratulations, Christine! What a fun prize...except for the ZOMBIE PLAGUE! But maybe it will keep you safe. Maybe you can sprinkle it around your house to the tune of your NEW SONG!
ReplyDeleteAwesome stuff Christie. Hmm some zombie plague could definitely come in handy... :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to buy this one now!
Mark is friggin' awesome. I loved meeting him and he adored Dakota Cassidy. He claimed they were twins seperated at birth. I have his book and will be reading it next. I cannot wait.
