Great news! Remember the fairy tale re-telling I talked about yesterday, 8 by Michael Mullin? I loved it, and now I've got one e-book to give away. Here's the synopsis: This is the previously untold story of the previously unknown 8th dwarf, named Creepy. He was banished to the basement for being different and , well, weird. Yet he played a vital - and of course previously unknown - role in the popular tale of Snow White (whose title character is an intruder Creepy refers to as "the Maid"). It's hilarious and a quick read. Interested? I'm giving away one e-book copy of 8: The Previously Untold Story of the Previously Unknown 8th Dwarf by Michael Mullin. The giveaway is open internationally. To enter, just fill in the form below by January 20. I'll give up to two extra entries, one for "liking" the facebook page and one for leaving a comment telling us your favorite fairy tale. I will announce the winner on...

Did you see my review of India Black and the Widow of Windsor by Carol K. Carr? Good news- I've got one copy to give away. From the publisher: Black is back—Her Majesty’s favorite spy is off to Scotland in this new adventure to ensure the Queen doesn’t end up getting killed. When Queen Victoria attends a séance, the spirit of her departed husband, Prince Albert, insists she spend Christmas at their Scottish home in Balmoral. Prime Minister Disraeli suspects the Scottish nationalists plan to assassinate the Queen—and sends the ever resourceful India and the handsome British spy, French, to the Scottish highlands. French will take the high road, looking for a traitor among the guests—and India will take the low road, disguised as a servant in case an assassin is hiding among the household staff. India is certain that someone at Balmoral is determined to make this Her Majesty’s last Christmas... This one's open to the US and Canada only, no PO Boxes. To...
