I’ll take this cute baby cowboy…

And turn him into THIS COWBOY!

So…do approve of my magic?

Have a great weekend!

Someone thought it would be a good idea to let that cranky witch, Jen Lyon, answer letters again.  Sigh…

Letter Number One

Dear Lyon,

 Where do you keep all those men whose pictures you post on the blog? Just curious!

 Sincerely,

Inquiring Libido

Dear Inquiring Libido,

 I have my eye on you! I know what you’re after, but better witches than you have tried to steal my men! Okay, sure, Mel and Silver might have conspired to get me a little tipsy and “borrowed” a couple men while I was sipping an appletini or five, but I got them back…eventually.

 Wait, what was the question?

 Oh, anyway, the men are all kept deep in my Lyon’s Lair where they can’t escape…uh, I mean come to any harm!

 Drat, where is that cowboy with my appletini?

 Roaringly yours,

Jen Lyon

Letter Number Two

 Dear Lyon,

 I have a great idea for a book! I’d be willing to split the millions of dollars we’d make on this idea if you write the book. I know we’d make a great team! Let me know when you want to get started!

 Sincerely,

Lazy A. Dreamer

 Dear Lazy A. Dreamer,

 Thank you so much for your letter. I laughed so hard, I coughed up a hairball. Then I had to brew up a batch of appletinis (shaken, not stirred) just to answer this. So draw up a chair and listen carefully: Unless you are famous or infamous, or you have slept with someone famous or infamous, no one is going to pay you millions in publishing.

Maybe you should catch the next broom stick back to reality. 

Seriously, where is that cowboy with my appletini!

Roaringly yours,

Jen Lyon

Do you guys see smoke?

Or do you see a Wing Slayer Worthy hunk?

First, I’d like to thank you all for making the Cyber Launch Party for BLOOD MAGIC so much fun! I wish I had a necklace for all of you, but alas, I only have one to give away.  And this was HARD! So I stuck to the plan, and randomly chose a winner from all the comments.

And the winner of …

The Grand Prize Necklace is…

MARGARET A GOLLA!

Congratulations Margaret! Please email me your mailing address to Jenniferlyonbooks@gmail.com

 One more day until the official release of BLOOD MAGIC!The book may already be in some stores–these “drop dates” can be a bit flexible.  I just can’t believe it’s here! But the waiting has actually been fun…because of you all! You guys have been a blast! I really hope you all keep hanging around even after the Cyber Launch Party is over.  Which brings me to the next point, tomorrow, February 24th, I draw the Grand Prize!

This is an ENLARGED picture of the necklace:

The actual size is  30 by 46 mm.  You can find out more at Silver Enchantments where I ordered the necklace.  All the comments from the last five weeks and today, will go into the Glittering Purple Hat where the random witch generate will select one winner.

Now, let’s all give a big shout out to our friend, KATE CARLISLE!

Kate’s book HOMICICDE IN HARDCOVER hit #34 the New York Times Times List!

Let’s all raise up our appletinis (no spilling!)  and dance a jig for Kate!

Question of the Day:  On a scale of one to five appletinis (five being the best), how much does it rock when our friends achieve their dreams like Kate?

I had a very special guest to help me draw the winners…

This is Ninja Face. He was my son’s cat when he was in college, and then my son had to move leaving him with a roommate. (Ninja Face is fine, happy and fat, except for the Really Stupid Name. My son named him Ninja Face. I can’t explain it…perhaps I had too many appletinis when he was a baby and dropped my son on his head?)

Still Ninja Face agreed to help me choose the winners…when he gets around to it.

Have you ever noticed that Cat Time is way different from Human Time?

 Finally I got him to get off the couch to saunter over to the Big Purple Hat.

And the winners are:

MEL K is the winner of the autographed book from Nalini Singh! Congrats Mel! Email Nalini at NaliniSinghWrites@gmail.com
and let her know which of her Psy/Changeling books you’d like, and your mailing address.

REBECCA wins the CHARMED third season DVD set. Congrats Rebecca! Email me at Jenniferlyonbooks@gmail.comwith your mailing address.

It’s week five of the Cyber Launch Party!  The prize is the DVD of the third season of CHARMED, and I’ll pick the random winner from this week’s comments. 

Do you think this this baby boy…

Will still play with hoses when he grows up?

I’m just asking! Have a great weekend! Don’t forget,  I’ll post the winner of the CHARMED DVD Set (season three) on the weekend.
