Hmm...He's not very dirty...in fact he's freshly showered! *purr*
Well darn, he looks clean too. But very apropos for the DIK ladies
I’m just throwing this one in because I am simply crazy about those eyes!!Well now that this part of my job is done, let’s get to the almost funner part. I am going to hold one of my infamous contests. Now, if anyone here truly knows me they know two things for absolute sure. 1. I never give anything about my books away. 2. I hold the toughest contests on the planet. But I also make them well worth it J. Our prize for this contest is an ARC of the much-awaited NOAH! And I am going to throw in a deck of NIGHTWALKERS playing cards to boot. Those are very cool cards.
So here is what you have to do. First, you have to comment in reply to this blog and tell me what your top five Desert Island Keepers are! I want to know. And no sucking up is required. I only want to see my stuff in there if you really really mean it.
Now for the hard part. You have to choose your favorite quote from my entire series and post it with your DIK. Name the character who says it or thinks it...I’d love to see what you all come back with. I will randomly choose one of the DIK/quotes as a winner in tomorrow’s blog!
Now get to work!While you're at it, check out my website and blog and sign up for the blog mailing list if you like. :)

Hey Jacki!
Good to see you again! You DO have very tough contests...but I'm liking this one a lot...especially if I win NOAH!! Woohoo. Ok - gotta go find a quote - be back later. :)
I know I do! But you all enter them anyway!!
Crap, crap, crap I have to find it out before volleyball tonight OH THE PRESSURE. I REALLY REALLY WANT NOAH... Dang it.
Hold the phone I shall return tonight.
Clever tactic Jacki, I shall have to remember that...
I had Jacob sitting close at hand, (on the TBR shelf) but as yet unread. I pulled it down to read the first chapter, to find a quote to qualify for the contest.. now I'm HOOKED. Not that I wouldn't have read the book, but he's jumped to the front of the line. :P I had to put it on the living room book shelf to keep from starting my weekend early. Clever indeed.
So my fav quote thus far (I had to stop reading and go back to the day job for now!) is from Bella. She's thinking to herself, mid battle in the wearhouse while the scary critter is drooling over her:
Oh great, Bella, antagonize the big bad creature, why don't you?
My DIK list is as follows:
* Edge of (Danger, Fear & Darkness) - Cherry Adair - I could not pick just one.
* On Writing - Stephen King
* Wizard of Seattle - Kay Hooper
* The Given - Sharon McClellan

* The Complete Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales, Deluxe Edition
Thank you,
Dragon

And the quote...I only have Gideon on hand since the others have are in the hands of friends. This is more than a quote though between Legna and Gideon!
"Oops, one sec." She winked at him and snapped her fingers, the bottle of lotion suddenly in her hand
"Show-ff. You know, you are going to have to tell me how you do that."
"Well, first you pum this little thing on top, then the lotion--"
First thing, Tracy is a thief! LOL She stole my quote!! So here is my back up. This is Noah to Jacob
