Something for that rarest of breeds...the Spoiler Bunny!

There are no ACTUAL spoilers in this post!



So, as more and more bloggers join the Twi-Purity camp,
it's nice to know there's still a little love for those of us who don't actually want to be saved.
Mrs. Vanquish made some Eclipse buttons for the Spoiler Camp
over on her Twispired Blog Design site

They're adorable (OF COURSE) and completely free for the taking.

Thanks again, Mrs. V!!!!! Being naughty never felt so good!

Looking for something angelic?

Hello, loves! I just saw this contest over at The First Novels Club to win a copy of Hush, Hush and Fallen. They appear to be YA novels centered around angels. I haven't read either but they both sound interesting from what I've read over at FNC. Here are the descriptions (the first is an excerpt I found on the FNC site, the second was found on Amazon's site):

Hush, Hush

Falling in love was never so easy . . .or so deadly.

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.

But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.

For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.

Fallen

There's something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.

Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price's attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He's the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.

Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce--and goes out of his way to make that very clear--she can't let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her.

So head on over to their post and sign up for a chance to win a copy of both. Or just head over to your local book store and pick up a copy and support an upcoming author! It might be you someday, right?

Twispired Blog Designs fixes this Fox!

So initially I started the blog in order to facilitate my super secret identity: One Pushy Fox. Before then I had been lurking about, leaving comments on sites under my ID which led people back to my personal blog which was little more than a virtual scrapbook for my kids. Cute? Sure. Twilight related? Absolutely not. So, I created a new handle, selected the standard black layout and this blog was born.

But then I started writing. Sure I had tried my hand at NaNoWriMo over the past couple of years, but I never felt that my characters had something to say. Then I read fanfiction and I found characters that had A LOT to say. Sometimes I needed to find out what made the B-list characters in Twilight tick. Sometimes I needed to branch out and write stuff so completely off the wall I'm not sure it would still constitute fanfiction, but I started writing and it felt good.

The bottom line is that I post here more often than I imagined I would and I think I'll be posting even more as the days go on. So when I saw what Mrs. Vanquish was doing for some of my other favorite blogs, I knew it was time to retire the sleek black look for something more me.

Behold the wonderment that is
Mrs. V's bloggy designing mojo!

I still find it difficult to believe that I got so much for so very little. First off, this whole process took less than a week. Seriously. All that while Mrs. V was working on three other blog redesigns, her own blogs AND working her full time job! Secondly, she was patient and encouraging through my MANY questions and vacillations (at one point I had over 100 fonts I was trying to choose from for my header). Thirdly, she has continued to hold my hand with my many last minute questions as I have decided to load the code myself. Finally, did you see my header??????

The whole process couldn't have been easier or more pleasant and I really value the time and effort she put into this. All this for less than my last Zazzle t-shirt order.

Mrs. V - Thank you again! Many, many times!! From the very bottom of my heart!!!! I love this new layout and I'm so happy I asked for your help!

UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

If you're here and you see some oddness over the next few hours, please just be aware that my design is under construction and all will be fixed by tomorrow morning!

Follow Cutie's Cue, as always

So I got the information on this in an email from Cutie, and I decided to enter as well. Apparently the author of Ramblings of a Wannabe Scribe is hosting a contest, starting today and ending on December 10, 2009, in which the winner will receive a signed copy of Twilight (by Stephenie Meyer, not the author of Ramblings of a Wannabe Scribe, who I'm sure is lovely, regardless).

I've copied the rules from Cutie's post below:

1. You must be a follower of the blog to enter.
2. You must have a US address to ship to.
3. You must fill out the entry form to enter.
4. You can earn bonus points by posting about the contest
(sorry side bars don't count) and/or by tweeting about the contest.

To find the complete set of rules click here.

Here's RoaWS author meeting Mrs. Meyer, how cool!
