WVMP Lives! (and a BTTB ARC giveaway)
I'm thrilled to announce that Pocket Books has bought another two installments in my WVMP Radio urban fantasy series, bringing the total to four! Yaayyyy!I'm so happy, I wish I could animate this image so that it would look like the guitar was rockin' out in joy. But it would hurt my web designer/husband's sensibilities, so instead, I suggest you pick up your monitor (or your laptop) and shake it around while going "Nuh. nuh. NUHhh...nuh. nuh. NUH-nuhhh...Nuh. nuh. NUHhh...NUH-nuhhh." (That's Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water," in case you didn't recognize it.)
There now. Didn't that make your Monday morning oh-so-special?Anyway, I don't have official release dates yet for Books 3 and 4, but Book 2, Bad to the Bone, will be out May 19, and now you can pre-order it secure in the knowledge that it won't be the end of the road.
To celebrate, I'm giving away five (5) ARCs of Bad to the Bone this week instead of just one. All you have to do is comment on this post. Extra points* for comments that involve other famous guitar riffs.
I'll randomly draw five names Sunday night at 11:59pm Eastern standard time (oh, who am I kidding, it'll probably be Monday morning) from the combined comments from my jerismithready.com blog, MySpace, and LiveJournal, and announce the winners next week. At which point, I'll go back to giving away one ARC per week until the end of March.
Also, I'll have one ARC giveaway exclusive to my Twitter followers, so if you'd like to join up ahead of time, come follow me...yes...into the light, my pretties....
P.S.: You have one more day to enter the other BTTB ARC giveaway over at Dante's blog. Just comment on his interview with Ciara by 11:59pm Pacific standard time tonight.

This must be the week of music related awesomeness. I just finished re-watching Blues Brothers 2000. A few of your vamps would fit right in with that cast. :)

The Who has a bunch of great rifts, but my personal favorite is from Pinball Wizard.

As for the riff, how about...
Do do doodle do do do
That was a remarkably bad take on Burnin' For You by BOC. And now I'll just slink off...

OK, that's out of my system. Now I can bang my head to the riff from Bohemian Rhapsody, Wayne's World style.

I've e-mailed everyone on this list except DavidH, whose Blogger profile had no e-mail, so hey, DavidH! If you're out there reading this, please e-mail your mailing address to me at jeri AT jerismithready DOT com, so I can send you your ARC. If I don't hear from you (or any of the other four whom I e-mailed) by a week from now, I'll draw replacement names from the same pool of entrants.
Come back tomorrow for the next ARC giveaway. And thanks to everyone for their good wishes and awesome guitar riffs. You made me smile. A lot.
