Last week I blogged about how much I loved Jeri Smith-Ready’s new release (her first urban fantasy) Wicked Game. And now’s your chance to snag a signed copy! And to go along with it (Because we all know books and chocolate go together!) I have something yummy for you to sink your own fangs into…
About the book:
Publisher’s Weekly said: Newbie marketing intern Ciara Griffin lands a job at WMMP, a station threatened with being sold to Skyware, a giant communications conglomerate, unless ad revenue picks up. A former con artist with a canny way with people, Ciara soon learns that the DJs are undead and specialists in the musical eras in which they were turned into vampires. One of them, Shane McAllister (turned in 1995), is really hot and dangerously tempting. In order to attract more listeners, Ciara promotes a new marketing strategy and the Sherwood, Md., station becomes 94.3 WVMP, the Lifeblood of Rock and Roll, exploiting the fang factor (which no listener takes seriously) for profit. It works, until an ancient vampire cult wants to pull the plug. Also playing in is The Control, an equally ancient paramilitary group created to protect good vampires and kill bad ones. Smith-Ready's musical references are spot on, as is her take on corporate radio's creeping airwave hegemony. Add in the irrepressible Ciara, who grew up in a family of grifters, and the results rock.
Rachel says: And I heartily agree. ;-)
About the chocolate:
The ultimate expression of the chocolate bar, seriously decadent. Includes one of each bar: Solid milk chocolate, Solid Dark Chocolate, Solid White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate with Smooth Caramel, Milk Chocolate with Almonds, and Dark Chocolate with Raspberry. All with the signature intensity, silkiness and richness of Godiva chocolate. (each bar 1.5 oz., 9 oz. total) 
Rachel says: Santa brought these in my stocking last year, and they made for a wonderful holiday!
All the usual rules and instructions apply:
- You're eligible if you're not related to either me or Jeri
- One entry per person, please
- If you don't have a Blogger account, you must sign your entry
- Please don't leave your email address in your comment. If you do, you will get spammed. (Not by me. I'm just saying that's a very real risk.)
- The giveaway closes at 11:59 pm central on Thursday, May 8th. At that time, I will close the comment thread. A winner will be announced the following day.
- If you live outside the continental US, there will be an alternate prize, and I cannot guarantee that the chocolate will reach you un-melted. Sorry!
So start commenting!
P.S. Tomorrow's post will be a craft post...
