DEATH BY DENIM Bonus Post

Woot! This is it! Less than two weeks until DEATH BY DENIM hits the shelves! Don't forget the launch party, right here on the blog May 14, 15 & 16th!

Meanwhile, remember that the Design your Denim contest is still going on. We didn't receive any entries last week, which means that those who have sent in their designs - and anyone else who enters - will have a greater chance of walking away with the signed set of all three DEATH BY books - an iPod Shuffle, iTunes gift card and more.

As a reminder, these are the Rules:
* Design and decorate anything denim.
* Send a digital photo of your creation to gerb(@)lindagerber(.)com by May 14, 2009.
* By entering, you authorize your creation's photo to appear on this blog.
* Winners will be announced May 30, 2009.

And now, for this week's bonus freebie - for your chance to win a signed copy of DEATH BY DENIM and a mystery gift, here are three ways to enter:

* If you haven't already posted this countdown clock to your blog, myspace, facebook or anyplace else you hang out, put it up and receive a bonus entry.
* Invite a friend to come say hi here on the blog. One entry per friend.
* Answer one of the trivia* questions below.

1. Name a book blooper I have confessed.
2. What's one of the most exotic things I've eaten?
3. When did my research get the best of me?
4. Which fictional character would I love to hang out with?
5. What were some of the alternate DEATH BY titles?
6. Where does Aphra travel in DEATH BY DENIM?
7. What's the name of my assistant last week?

This drawing will stay open until Tuesday, May 6.

P.S. Don't forget the interview with Lucienne Diver (above) and a chance to win a signed copy of her book, VAMPED!

* Hints given in previous posts.
