I'll pick one lucky commenter (US only, sorry) from the comment trail on Thursday night.
An innocent lass from New York
ReplyDeleteDined the first time on sweet and sour pork
With chop sticks alone.
She gave a deep moan,
"This is novel, but hey, what the fork?"
In summer,
ReplyDeletewhen the national conference gives away books,
it's hot.

DeleteI've deleted it, though it is lovely.
DeletePlease give it a try next Tuesday. We've got a New York Times Bestseller's work with shapeshifters, vampires, Dark Fae and a Summer Queen. It's from my own House, Berkley, July 2012. It has an owl on the cover.

ReplyDeleteA Reader’s Request
ReplyDeleteWeave for me stories rich in history.
Pen for me novels steeped in mystery.
Write for me tales of magic and romance,
Of heroes and villains, of danger’s mad dance.
Sing me sweet stanzas of lover’s delights,
Of days golden with joy, of sensuous nights.
Invite me into fair fancy’s domain
And whisper the secrets, deep and arcane.
Wow!
ReplyDeleteThere once was a gal from the hills,
ReplyDeleteReading books was her cure for all ills.
She doesn't want to grovel, but she'd really like this novel.
Steamy romance does her more good than her pills.
Someone cries in the silence
ReplyDeleteDeep in the New York night
Someone cries the somnolence
Deep in a glass of fright
Someone cries her plight
And it's my heart
Thank you. These are lovely.
ReplyDeleteJayne Ann Krentz is a wonderful writer.
ReplyDeleteHer plots just get tighter and tighter.
Her heroes arcane,
Are Jonesing by name,
Each a lover, a scholar, a fighter.
Thou arcane novel, steeped in secrets deep,
ReplyDeleteWill yet thy author hold aloft the glass
In which thy faithful readers may descry
The answer, lost in timeless trilogy
Of strange society, that still portends
the end? And then New York will rise again,
find time to set the book and paperback
once more on lists bestselling, but the first?
That too may come to pass. Keep looking.

ReplyDeleteThis was so hard to judge, but after dithering about this for an hour -- The winner this week is Janga.
ReplyDeleteJanga, please tap on the 'You can email Joanna Bourne here' line above and at the right. Send me a mailing address and the signed copy of JAK's 'In Too Deep' will wing its way to your native place.
Next Tuesday -- a Paranormal with an owl on the cover.
US only? Aww. Still, this is a great idea for a contest, Jo!
ReplyDeleteIt's not just that it's expensive to send books outside the US, it's that I have to lug it all the way down the mountain to the Post Office and park and stand in line and (whine, whine, whine ...)
ReplyDeleteI can sympathise with that! Having a courier service in the building at work definitely makes my giveaways easier. I've used The Book Depository before, too. Anything to make life easier!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your pots this is really good.
