Unlocking a Sample

I have here one SIGNED copy of Unlocked, a multi-genre, young-adult-ish anthology that features some really great short stories from some up-and-coming authors. Two of mine are in this one, Assassin's Keeper and Survival. I want to give this away to one very special commenter. 

How can YOU be that special commenter? Comment. That's all. Comment on this particular blog post and I'll draw a name for a winner, to be announced tomorrow. Remember to include your email address so I can easily contact you if you win. 

Unfortunately, I can only offer this one to US residents, or those with a US mailing address. However, if you prefer eBooks to paperbacks anyway, you can download Unlocked for FREE from www.unlockedproject.com.

On the Importance of Author Photos

How important are author photos?

I have wrestled with this question for several months now. I use a picture of my daughter in all my profiles because I do NOT have a photo of myself that I at all care for. Well, maybe a wedding photo, but that was over ten years ago. Would that be acceptable? A photo from when I was young and thin...and blond. (Blonds really do have more fun, by the way.) I don't do photos--I am unphotogenic. (My spellchecker tells me this is not a word. It also says spellchecker is not a word. Go figure.)

So I leave it to you, the reader of this humble blog. I have added a poll. Choose how important you feel author photos are. Your opinion will decide whether or not I go through the tremendous effort required of me to reveal to YOU what I look like.

Oh, and if you comment to this post offering your opinion, I will draw a name to receive a signed copy of my new release, Deception, a Regency romance--ultimate release date as yet to be determined.

Happy reading, blogging, and polling!

(Poll will be closed May 9th. Winner of Deception will be drawn May 15th.)
