Best of Samhain 2008 survey
In a blog post elsewhere in the blog-o-sphere, Teddy Pig lamented that epublishers don’t publish a top ten bestseller list for the year. I accepted his “challenge” and at the beginning of 2009, Samhain will be publishing their 2008 bestseller list. But I wanted to make it a fun event, and do some other reader-driven lists, so I put together a quick (only five questions) survey for Samhain customers to choose their favorite books and covers. Please take a moment to fill it out and help us compile some “best of” lists to publish with our bestseller list of 2008.

So head on over and participate (even if it's to vote for someone who's not me! And no, I'm not saying who I voted for either.)
Second, it seems we have a winner for the Name That Book contest:
CRYSTAL DEE!
Steel Beauty was chosen as the new name of the book! Please email or post your choice of prize! The choices were:
1. A gift certificate to Books On Board (which can be given as soon as the contest ends - no delayed gratification!);
2. An ARC of Very Much Alive, Book 1 of True Destiny, before it releases in February (the ARC would be given in February, and will be available only in e-book format);
3. A free copy of Cat of a Different Color or Sweet Dreams or The Wallflower (available only in e-book format; again, no delayed gratification!)
4. A copy, signed by me, of Hunting Love (available only in print; would require a physical mailing address and would not be given until March, so definite delayed gratification!)
Crystal will also be in my dedication of Steel Beauty!
And just so you know, I totally stole some of those titles for other novels, so keep an eye out for them in the future. ;D

Congrats Crystal!!!!
They picked me, they picked me!!! oh I am so happy! I really feel honored. It's clear by just the excerpt that this is going to be a wonderful book, and I got to name it. Thanks for the congrats Valerie O.
I'm off to email Dana Marie.
I decided to post my prize, since I went back to read my name in Pink again and discovered that was an accepted way to announce my choice. Others might be interestd in what I picked and why.
I chose The Wallflower in rocketbook if possible, but HTML and Adobe pdf will work also.
I chose this book because I only discovered Miss Dana a day or two before I saw the notice for the contest. I had just read the excerpts posted on her website and fell in love with the series. I had asked for all the titles for Christmas. (my family always gives me books for Christmas.Each person gets a different list or store for gift cards.)
Send me your email address and I'll send you your book! And congrats again.
P.S.: You'll be in the dedication of book 4, so when it comes out in April make sure you check it. ;)
Crystal, I sent you the file. Let me know if you get it and if I sent you the CORRECT file. =)
