2004-2005: The year of the comics. Batman began, Spiderman continued, and Loowis the Loose Id was born.

2005-2006: The year of the great television. Battlestar Galactica made sci fi sensational, House made medicine manic, Lost made life-or-death lovable.

2006-2007: The year of the Id. Loose Id celebrates its second full year in business with a sales celebration, our authors create great escapes, and our readers enjoy a line-up of heroes as indomitable as Brandon Routh as Superman, as irascible as Jonny Dep as Jack Sparrow, and rugged as Jack and Ennis in Brokeback Mountain.

Now, through July 17, every Loose Id e-book purchase over $5 is 10% off when purchased from our website. VIP club members receive 20% off! No fuss, no coupons, no bother. Just storewide savings for 7 days.

Headline - July 18 is coming! Only one more week until The Bounty releases in print! Not only at online retailers, but in Borders and Waldenbooks too! I can’t tell you how excited I am! *snoopy and linus dance*

So, I’m having two contests for y’all…

Contest #1: Spot The Bounty!

The first person to spot The Bounty at a Borders or Waldenbooks and send me a picture of it on the shelves win a free download of choice AND an enamel cowboy boot pin! Everyone who sends me a picture gets a special treat. And remember, anything is fair in order to find it - meaning you can ASK for it using the ISBN number (kind of like a barcode) 1-59998-209-9. Go forth and find!

Contest #2: Win The Bounty in print!

If you purchased The Bounty in electronic format, you can win an autographed print copy. E-mail me a copy of your receipt to bethwilliamson@nc.rr.com and you’re automatically entered.

Good luck and happy hunting!!

We look forward to seeing everyone and helping us celebrate the fabulousness that is our readers!

Okay so this weekend I’m going to try to do a writing blitz. My hope is to write 10K (no laughing) since I didn’t write any yesterday. I was exhausted when I got home and I wrote nothing. Zero, zippo, nada.

Sigh… not good. I’ve got 3 1/2 weeks and 16.5K written - which means I’ve got about 30.5K to write. Um, let me do my math here… 24 days… 30.5K, translates to 1200 words a day every day… let’s subtract the time I’m in Atlanta… 18 days, translates to 1700 words a day.

No more time to screw around. Game. Face. On.  >:)
