Warning: Read at your own risk.

This is not safe for the entire family.

Don't complain if you didn't read this.

Want to Order Dark Harvest Free?

Remember when I posted about Revolution Money Exchange here and here? Well, May 15th is the last day to get your $25.

That's how to get Dark Harvest free (plus a profit!) Sign up and get your $25, order Dark Harvest for $20 and you get a great anthology plus a $5 profit!

After you've signed up and ordered, come back here and comment and we'll have a Gift Card Giveaway--but you can only enter if you pre-order Dark Harvest!


Pre-order now! Click here. You'll be sent to Bob Freeman's Paypal account set up for Dark Harvest orders. Bob is president of the Indiana Horror Writers and is doing all the work. (Thank you Bob!)

DARK HARVEST WILL BE RELEASED JUNE 14TH
PRE-ORDERS WILL SHIP BEGINNING MONDAY JUNE 16TH

SHIPPING IS INCLUDED FOR U.S. ORDERS.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS,
PLEASE EMAIL ihw@comteck.com
FOR SHIPPING DETAILS

Edit to add (for clarity)
This is how you'll use your free $25 to order Dark Harvest.

Revolution Money Exchange (RME) will deposit $25 into your RME account.
They'll send 2 small deposits to your bank account and you'll go back to the RME website to confirm those deposits. Once that's done, you can transfer your $25 into your bank account and thus, RME pays for Dark Harvest and gives you an extra $5 plus a chance to win a gift card from me.


Edit again to add another thought (thank you my cautious friend--you know who you are)
If you don't want to link your bank account then send the $25 to my RME account, I'll pre-order Dark Harvest for you and send you your $5 extra. :)

Free Legos!

5 Minutes For Mom is having a spectacular 2 weeks of giveaways.

This post is for Zane.

Because he loves Legos.

And 5 Minutes For Mom is giving away Legos. I won't tell him though unless he wins.

We have a permanent Star Wars Cantina he hauls all over the house. He even used my silver Sharpie to color some of the Legos so they'd look more Star Wars-ish.

Winner!

Do you hate me for waiting so long? Well if you do, don't tell me.

The winner to the Now What?! Name This Photo Contest is Kay!

Ice on the Rocks. Beautiful! Oh--and because she made me laugh asking "are there rules to this contest?" Kay, I just don't do well with rules. LOL

Go here to pick your prize and email me with your choice and snail mail address Kay!

Thanks for playing everyone! Maybe come back Tuesday for another contest. Maybe. You don't have to if you don't want to win something. If too many people know about the contests then you won't have such a good chance of winning.

Now what?!!

I went outside today and almost cried!!

So now we have to have a new contest.

Name this set of photos by Friday February 15 at 9pm CST
for a prize out of my office closet.

We Have A Winner!

I wanted people to guess a title for the photo and I wasn't real clear about that, so I'm giving away more than one prize!



Alexis, Kay, and Momof3 gave me titles. I didn't know how hard this would be! I loved Alexis' "Blue Water Special" made me think of Kmart days. LOL And Kay--I laughed out loud when I read "Quench Me If You Can!" Brilliant!

But the winner is Momof3 with "Blue Hope" I don't know why I like that one so much, I think it might be because blue is a terribly hopeful color in my brain. I could stare at that picture, that color blue, and get lost in it.

And believe me, I've been opening up that photo to full screen and just staring at it. Yes, I know I'm not right. But you come here anyway, what does that say about you? LOL

Ok. So what was it? Not one single person guessed what it really is.



When I bought it, the package said it was a root starter! So, since no one guessed that, I pick Michelle's answer because it made me laugh all day long: A Muffler Canister. She must know what kind of camouflage wearing, coach bag carrying girl I am. LOL

Winners can click here to pick a prize from my closet office!

Email me with your first and second choice and your snail mail address!




Congrats!!! Happy Prize Picking!

Speaking of winners--5 Minutes for Mom is giving away an Oreck XL Ultra!

I was just telling Phil how much I hated our new (cheapy) vacuum cleaner. I had my other one for 10 years and it worked great! Then it went to the place that old vacuum cleaners that stop working go. So my mom bought me a new one, I think for my birthday, and I took it back, spent $30 more and got the upgrade. I should've stuck to the same kind I had before.

The new one has all the fancy filters and canister and hoses. Phooey. It is a complete waste of money. I have to take the thing apart every.single.freaking.time.I.vacuum. I hate it.

Not Even Close

I suspected Chris Mikesell would be the one to guess what Phil found in our yard and he didn't even guess, so maybe we should extend the contest out so someone can guess correctly.

Jen--sorry, you have to be excluded since I told you. :)
