Happy New Year

**  So the winner of the awesome bag of books never came forward. *sadness* I've sent him emails to the only email I could find... one belonging to a blog that hasn't had any activity since 2008. So with that, I've gone ahead and chosen another winner... Mr. Todd Robinson please send me your address. You can either DM me on Twitter or email it to me. And as soon as you contact me I'll get those books in the mail.  Again, many thanks for participating. Enjoy the books, sir.

*This contest is closed.  The winner is James. James, please contact me via email and send me your address. Congratulations! And thank you all for participating! 

I spent my Christmas on Twitter gifting away some of my favorite reads of 2012. I gifted Blackbirds and Mockingbird  by Chuck Wendig, City of the Lost by Stephen Blackmoore, the latest copy of Needle: A Magazine of Noir, two copies of Frank Sinatra in a Blender by Matthew J. McBride, and Dead Harvest and The Wrong Goodbye by Chris F. Holm.

And since I spent Christmas gifting away some of my favorite reads, it makes perfect sense to spend the first day of 2013 gifting away a bag full of books.  

Oh, wait. What does this bag contain, you ask?

City of the Lost by Stephen Blackmoore

Dare Me by Megan Abbott

This Dark Earth by John Hornor Jacobs

Frank Sinatra in a Blender by Matthew J. McBride

Last Call For the Living by Peter Farris

the latest Needle: A Magazine of Noir 

and

SHOTGUN HONEY: BOTH BARRELS

And, remember... even if you've read all these great books and don't think you may need them, you're wrong. Just think of how many birthday gifts you'll have on hand for this year. Plus, if you can't use the books you can always use the lovely Shotgun Honey bag for your gym clothes... or something like that.

Go on, now. What are you waiting for?
