We Have a Winner! (Actually, Three)

Thanks to all of you who participated in my Cleopatra Rules Giveaway contest! Sixty-five posters left comments which made me very happy. Of course, we all know that the contest was a shameless bit of self-promotion but I will continue to pretend that my dignity is intact and that I actually have readers (It turns out I have a very active fantasy life!).

On to the winners:

Meredith
CM Fleming
WREverdell

Congrats! Winners, please contact me by email so that I can get your mailing address.

By the way, the winners are from Florida, Georgia, and New York. Thanks to everyone who participated. Some of y'all cracked me up!

We Have a Winner!

Congratulations to Joyce Lansky of Tennessee who won the drawing for the signed Rick Riordan book, THE RED PYRAMID!

I'm sure there is some cool way on the computer to mix up the names and pull one but I did it the old fashioned way--with little paper strips. I even had a disinterested party (trust me, she's 12--she's VERY disinterested) pick the winner. Joyce, aka Aphrodite, please contact me with your address so I can send the book along.

This was fun. Can't wait until I can do it with my own book.

Win a Signed Copy of Rick Riordan’s latest!

THE RED PYRAMID is filled with action, adventure and mythology, only this time, Riordan’s characters take on Egyptian gods and monsters.

Like King Midas, Riordan has the magic touch. Kids have simply gone cuckoo for his Greek myth-based LIGHTNING THIEF series and everybody is expecting this book and series to do the same.

Leave a comment letting me know what Greek or Egyptian god, goddess or monster you would want to be and you’ll be entered to win a free autographed copy of THE RED PYRAMID.

As for me, because I’ve been writing about Cleopatra VII, I want to walk like an Egyptian. I’m thinking of sticking with Shezmu, god of the underworld that crushes the heads of bad guys in a wine press.

But then again, I do like Amut the Destroyer, the crocodile-headed monster that devours your heart if you don’t pass the Weighing of the Heart test. Bastet is pretty cool, as is Anubis, the jackal-headed God of the Underworld.

I can’t decide.

Kitty what do you think? Bastet or Anub…wait, don’t walk away!

Sigh.

Doggie, what about you? Awwww, that clinches it.

Anubis wins by a lick! Good doggie.
