First, I want to thank everyone who introduced me to your beloved pets–the stories were touching and funny and I LOVED reading every one of them!! Now–yesterday’s winner of the PAX tote bag: comment #41–Saundra! (Email me!) I have a prizepalooza for this weekend!! Multiple prizes!!! And don’t forget, the “Extravasuzannza” celebrating The Beast Within (psst! in stores now! read an excerpt here) continues with prizes every day through July 8th!
And as mentioned previously, for those of you with your own blogs, if you read The Beast Within and I catch you talking about it on your blog, I’ll highlight your blog here and send you your pick from my backlist! Today–two catches! 
Both of these discussions include some really funny remarks, so be sure to check them out. I love reading the variety of perspectives on the book!
Here’s what Danni from Adventures in Ordinary Life has to say about The Beast Within: “The heroine in this book (Paige) doesn’t EVER punk out! She’s a really strong woman who earns her respect throughout the book. I don’t do reviews, but I will comment on a few things that really struck a chord with me. I think this is her first para, and she really manages to add it in without beating you over the head with it. I won’t talk about plot, b/c I’m not the type to talk around it without giving it all away. I will mention the moment that I fell in love with Keiran. B/c of his accident, he is losing the ability to see green and red. The first time he drives he realizes what a problem this will be, and soon after confides in Paige…..The Beast Within accomplishes one of my highest set requirements. I really believed Paige and Keiran could be together forever, and NOT just because the epilogue told me so.” Read Danni’s entire discussion of The Beast Within here.
And, from Emily at Emma’s Ramblings! “How awesome is the PAX blurb. ‘Paranormal Allied eXperts — genetically enhanced superagents leading the world into a new era of defense.’ I dare anyone not to read those books! And Holy Tortured Hero, Batman! I just wanted to reach through the pages and give Kieran a hug (not that he would’ve let me).” Read Emilys entire discussion of The Beast Within here.
(Danni and Emily–email me with your picks from my backlist!)
Now for the weekend prizepalooza! Saturday’s prize–a PAX t-shirt, and Sunday’s prize–another PAX tote bag! Plus!!! Five autographed backlist books on Saturday and five autographed backlist books on Sunday!
The game: Three-Word Story. How it works: I start the story with three words. Follow up with three words at a time of your own to continue the story! Participate as often as you like both Saturday and Sunday but not twice in a row. In the case of simultaneous comments, just pick which one to follow up on and go on with the story. Winners will be chosen by drawing and the more often you play, the more chances you have to win! Winners will be announced in Monday’s blog–and I have something special planned for July 4th, so please plan to stop by! 
And now, the Weekend Three-Word Story to be continued through Sunday (let’s make it a PAX story!):
The sexy merman………..
