The Really Big (like way big) Accidentally Dead Giveaway Contest! [Jul. 1st, 2008|01:13 pm]
[Tags|, , , ]

Originally published at The Official Website of Michele Bardsley. Please leave any comments there.

Today, July 1, 2008 marks the release in the second installment of the Accidental series, ACCIDENTALLY DEAD, by the totally fabulous, utterly amazing, stupendously brilliant, always in her color wheel Dakota Cassidy (She made us say that–all of it. We fought back. Don’t laugh. We did. It got ugly. She threatened us with heinous acts of yellow. She won.). </p>

ACCIDENTALLY DEAD picks up with über potty mouth Nina Blackman and her newly acquired vampire woes (not to mention his undead hawtness, Greg). Here is a link to Amazon (We are subtle, aren’t we?): http://tinyurl.com/4pntvc

In celebration of Nina’s release, and because Dakota’s such a bitc–er, so charming, we’re having a scavenger hunt where you can win big! (Don’t whine. Didn’t we say killer prizes were involved?)

So here’s what ya gotta do—Visit the blogs of Michele Bardsley, Mark Henry, and Toni McGee Causy (in that order, people) then hit Dakota’s blog and get yer quiz on. That’s it! All entrants who post correct answers in the comments section of Dakota’s blog will be thrown into a random drawing. The prizes:

* Dakota’s giving away a signed copy of THE ACCIDENTAL WEREWOLF, a $15 Amazon Gift Certificate, and an RT tote bag from RT 2008 filled with some goodies!

* Mark’s upchucking an autographed copy of HAPPY HOUR OF THE DAMNED (and maybe another surprise or two … it’s a purge, darling, you never know what’ll show up).

* Toni’s offering an autographed copy of BOBBIE FAYE’S VERY (very, very, very) BAD DAY and other Bobbie goodness. We promise she won’t blow up another bridge (at least not near you).

* Michele’s spewing (again … gah! Can she get control of that spittle issue already?) an autographed ARC of WAIT TILL YOUR VAMPIRE GETS HOME and some Broken Heart swag.

Those damned contest rules: Entries must be posted to Dakota’s blog by midnight (CST) Wednesday July 2, 2008. All correct answers from participants will be placed in a random drawing. ONE winner will be announced on Dakota’s blog on July 3, 2008. The winner must contact Dakota to collect the prizes.

Start with the interview below and then move on to Mark Henry’s blog.

For Dakota:
Yellow. The color of atrocity. What do you say to those unfortunate enough to wear an homage to bananas, sunlight, and Liberace?
Take action now before it’s too late and it isn’t only me mocking and laughing at you behind your back. And dude, no way–Liberace wore yellow? Heinous…

What is your favorite scene in ACCIDENTALLY DEAD? Tell us why. In excruciating detail, of course.
Uh–when Nina goes into Anaphylactic shock (my genius BFF Renee George’s idea), and Wanda has to save her. Even though Nina’s already dead…

John Cusack comes to your house and asks you to autograph ACCIDENTALLY DEAD. What happens after you awake from your swoon?
I send up a prayer that I replenished my supply of duct-tape and granola bars :)

For Nina:
What ever possessed you to sell Bobbie Sue cosmetics? Wasn’t being broke and nearly homeless bad enough?
Tell me the fuck about it. Cannot believe I hooked up with those makeup slinging Hare Krishna’s, but I was desperate. My cable was about to be shut off. Jesus, do you have any idea how frickin’ hard it is to live without the SPEED channel?

Describe Greg in one word. (Fucktard doesn’t count.)
HawtMortalityStealer.

What’s the best advice your friends Marty or Wanda ever gave you?
Advice means I’d have actually had to listen to those two nutjobs…

Because Your Vampire Said So officially hit bookstores today! Woo-hoo! Joining me in release-dom are the fabulous authors Anya Bast, Erin McCarthy, and Tate Hallaway. We’ve all answered some very important questions (snerk) and what’s better, we’re all giving away killer prizes.

But before we get to the interview, let’s talk about me … er, I mean my book. Romantic Times BOOKReviews gave Because Your Vampire Said So 4.5 Stars and said, “The combination of humor, sarcastic wit, and parental trauma is unmistakably Bardsley.” Obviously, you should totally buy it. Duh.

You’re a vampire. Who would you Turn and why?

And then, after I Turned him, I would smear him with chocolate and lick it off. Then I would satisfy my unholy thirst for his … er, blood. Oh. Maybe the blood thing is before the chocolate thing. Whatever. Suffice it to say lots of licking and sucking would be going on here. And he would be mine for all eternity. Muhahahahaha….

Thumbnail cover for Witch BloodAnya Bast, author of Witch Blood: Ooooh, I would want to turn Christian Bale. Yum! Then I could gaze at his deliciously adorable crooked front teeth forevermore!






Thumbnail cover of FallenErin McCarthy, author of Fallen: I’m going with Christian Bale too, just so I could bite him. ;-)







Thumbnail cover for Romancing the DeadTate Hallaway, author of Romancing the Dead: I’m afraid I have to go for the sentimental answer: my partner. I can’t imagine living forever without Shawn. Yeah, okay, cue the sappy music and a chorus of: awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
