This Goes to 11
At the beginning of the month I got tagged by the marvelous Girl Wizard. The deal is that the taggee shares ten somethings about his/herself and then tags five people. But here's what I'm going to do---since I'm wrapping up my September Blog-Blitz (today's the last day to get Three Daves for only 99 cents in Kindle, Nook, eBook and ePub) I'll list a factoid about myself as revealed in each guest post from the blitz. And instead of tagging, I'm giving out cookies!
And now I'd like to pass out cookies to each of my illustrious hosts. THANK YOU Julie B., Jennifer Lane, Jen Daiker, Jennifer DeLucy, Carol Oates, Michael Di Gesu, Alex J. Cavanaugh, M. Pax, Lisa O., Karen G., and Hannah Downing for sharing your blogspace and wonderful followers with me.
I had a blast and am excited to have met some new eFriends as part of the deal. And guess what---we even set a record over at Alex's place for most comments on a guest post! So hooray to all of you fabulous commentators too.
If you're still hankering for a tour, you're in luck! Elliot Grace kicks off his tour for his newly released novel, South of Charm, on Monday. I'm excited to tell you he'll visit here on October 24. :)
Next month I'll also introduce you to Feather Stone, who's debut novel, The Guardian's Wilchild, was just released this Tuesday!
Since I did eleven guest posts, you get a bonus factoid:
1. In summers during college, I sold concert T-shirts at Poplar Creek, an outdoor music theater in the Chicago suburbs.
2. I have a large Teddy bear named Gibb, after John Cusack's character Walter Gibson in The Sure Thing
3. If ever I start a band, I shall name it Brother Kitty...and we shall play punk rock.
4. I still think Charlie Sheen is cute
5. I can't bring myself to fade to black
6. If this writing thing doesn't work out, I'm going into T-shirts
7. My favorite pastimes include making mix "tapes" and quizzes
8. In high school I dated a guy with a big Betamax
9. I'm a sucker for a pretty book cover
10. The fictional campus in my book is modeled after my alma mater, Eastern Illinois University. Go Panthers!
11. I enjoy being forty+
