And here's an exerpt from an email I received (why can't more authors/creators/bands use the Internet creatively?):
You're all invited to come and party in my first ever online virtual holiday party.
When: Sunday, December 5th
Time: Party begins at 2pm Pacific (4pm Central, 5pm Eastern, 10pm GMT) and goes however long we all last.
Dress: Business casual. Hahahahah. Joking. Dress optional (especially if you're a dishy guy)
Party favors? Yup. I will be giving away two, count 'em TWO ARCs of Sex, Lies, and Vampires as well as conducting rune stone and tarot card readings.
