Well, not yours maybe, but mine!
The Music Man is whisking me away to a quick spa/resort get-away overnight (since it's a milestone birthday) so I'll be scarce until late tomorrow, plus I'm on a deadline, so I might not be back here until Wednesday.
But in the mean time, while I'm getting mudded and masssaged and pampered, I'll give away another advance copy of Rises the Night.
A Reader's Journal raves about it, so don't be shy! Step up, make a comment–how would you like to spend your birthday?–and I'll draw a winner when I get back.
Don't party too much without me!




The second installment of the Gardella Vampire Chronicles takes Victoria to Venice and Rome.

Happy Birthday! So you’re finally turning 21! Good for you! Its nice to be able to drink legally and not have to sneak around to get your buzz on!
Hope you have a wonderful, pampered birthday and I wish you all the best. Am also hoping your book tour brings you somewhere close so that the gang here can meet you in person.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!I hope that you will have a good pampered day at the spa/resort. Enjoy yourself!
Good luck with your book and booktour and everything. Any chance that you are coming to Holland??

Happy Birthday!! Sounds like a wonderful way to spend your birhtday!! Personally, my favorite Birthday get-aways are to Chicago. We go there to eat, shop, go to the Art Institute (well, I do! My husband gets antzy after 20 minutes!) and go dancing at The Exit!!

Ooh, another April baby!! I’ve found a million of us this year, it seems.
Have a great trip!

This year I am going to be spending the day recovering from going to watch an international soccer match the day before! Yay!! So my day will be spent sleeping and reading…sounds good to me!

Happy Birthday!
I’d love to spend my birthday reading a good book, being fed good food and spending it with a hot guy (preferably my husband). Oh, reading Rises the Night would be fab, too.
April 30th, 2007 at 6:53 pm
Happy birthday Colleen! I’d love to go on a cruise with a bunch of books, laying in the sun drinking tropical drinks and eating fruit.
April 30th, 2007 at 7:11 pm
Happy Birthday! I just hit the same ‘landmark’ a few months ago (and by that I mean 29, right!) and also did a spa day, along with a night in a posh hotel and fab show.
My next birthday? Curled up in a big chair with a great book and an empty (quiet) house!
April 30th, 2007 at 7:16 pm
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great time. I would love to spend my birthday relaxing at home with my husband. A long hot soak in the tub and a nice dinner, too.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:42 pm
A milestone birthday, huh? Hope it’s fantastic! You deserve to be pampered
