IT'S DEATH BY BIKINI DAY!!!!


Thanks to everyone tuning in to my cyber party to celebrate the release of DEATH BY BIKINI! I'm glad you could make it!

For the next four days, there will be chances to win, win, win - so tune in! And here's a secret way to increase your chance of winning... reply to the posts. Everyone who responds to any of these posts is automatically entered for the random drawing to win an iPod Shuffle... and here's the trick - each reply qualifies you for another name slip in the drawing jar. AND if you bring a friend and they mention that you invited them to the party, you get another name strip in the jar.

We're going to kick it off today with posts and book giveaways from Amanda Ashby, Wendy Toliver, Melissa Walker, Marley Gibson and Kate Coombs!

Meanwhile, if you would like a chance to win your very own signed copy of DEATH BY BIKINI, simply reply to this post.

LET THE PARTY BEGIN!

THANKS for joining the party, guys! Chips and salsa at the bar! Diet coke with fresh lime upon request. Champagne is chilling! Has anyone seen the cabana boy???

Happy birthday, you beautiful book, you! If not for this pesky day job, I'd be at the bookstore already!

Congratulations Linda, and save me a margarita, Jen. No salt.

(Wait, cabana boy? Is this our regular cabana boy, or a new hunky one? *g*)

Gerb said...

Hmmmph. Julie, are you saying Regular CB is not hunky?

A Novel Woman said...

Jen McAndrews said...

One margie no salt coming up! The new hunky cabana boy is.... Ginger! Let the hunky cabana boy go! I sent the regular cabana boy for ice cos he kept muttering about how things were running too smoothly here.

Hey, Linda, do you think Darlene - up at the main house of that exclusive Bikini resort - has any great drinks recipes she could share with us??

Gerb said...

Darlene says her drinks are all top secret. Junior doesn't even get a peek. Besides, Mick drank her dry already.

Maureen McGowan said...

Great party! Congrats on your release and pass me a margarita. Only noon you say? Bah! It's five in the UK, so what if I'm not there.

Jen McAndrews said...

we make all the drinks with fresh fruit, therefore, they count toward breakfast.
(yes, I flunked out of Weight Watchers)
And drat that Mick! I knew he was trouble. Fine then. Maybe Aphra could sneak into the refrigerator and score us some more munchies.

Leigh Court said...

Congrats on the release, Linda! There's nothing like the high of actually seeing your book finally in print!

Best,
"Sistah" Leigh
