"The notion that such persons are gay of heart and carefree is curiously untrue. They lead, as a matter of fact, an existence of jumpiness and apprehension. They sit on the edge of the chair of Literature. In the house of Life they have the feeling that they have never taken off their overcoats."
- James Thurber, My Life and Hard Times

Get ready. Get set... It's coming.

On Monday, two things will happen:

1. The Hot Mess will be available as an e-book.

2. Five other bloggers will be joining me in a contest for one lucky person to win a free copy, and by copy I mean an e-book or paperback.

The contest will be kind of a scavenger hunt. You visit five blogs and read excerpt from the book in each one. Then come back here. I will have five questions for you. Each answer is contained in one of the five other blogs. Answer the questions correctly in the comments and you win!

The five blogs are:

The mostly adorable Andrew Kaufman, http://www.andrewekaufman.blogspot.com/
 
The lovely and talented Jenny Hilborne, http://jfhilborne.wordpress.com/
 
The fierce but friendly Michele Scott, http://adventuresnwriting.blogspot.com/
 
A sweet cozy writer Teresa Trent, http://teresatrent.wordpress.com/
 
Mr. All-Things-Dean-Martin, http://ilovedinomartin.blogspot.com/
 
If this goes as planned it should be fun. Hopefully, we'll drive some traffic around to the other sites, as well as whetting everyone's appetite for The Hot Mess. If it goes badly, you'll be able to hear me weeping, weeping bitter tears.

In the meantime, here's the trailer for The Hot Mess.




See you on Monday!

What a fun blog hop! I'm going to play just because it sounds like a blast, but will let someone else win the book because I already have it. Sort of. And you know I love it!

Great trailer, you are one creative lady.
