    Cheryl Kaye Tardif, author of Whale Song says

    I thought you might be interested in a contest that I’m holding. It’s wacky, creative and ‘killer’ fun.

    ‘Create a Corpse’ Contest lets you name a character in my next suspense novel Divine Justice. Of course, you guessed it—the character dies. So here’s a great way to ‘kill off’ your boss, or childhood bully. ;)

    For contest details, just scroll over the following URL, copy and paste into your browser. This contest is for avid readers who’d like to be part of the process. I’ve been getting lots of entries from my Shelfari friends, and I look forward to receiving yours. :)

    So here's a question for you: Of all the books that you publish, or perhaps, of all that you personally have read from Hesperus, which is your favorite?

    I'm glad to see you've joined the creativity group (or, well, that you joined a while ago) - I hope that we can get some good conversations going. Please feel free to post or start your own discussions.

    I love Hesperus Press. Your books are always wonderfully bizzare and usually hard to find, so I want to thank you for making them available. But I must ask, since you are a press, who speaks for your Shelfari profile?

    Hi Ellie,

    Thanks for the recommendation. I will add it to my wish list and see if I can get a copy to make its way to my door. Right now I'm about 5 books behind and working a bit too much.

    To recommend books, go to that book's page and click the "recommend book" on the left side. Then you can choose who you want to send it to. It's a great way to announce your books to your friends list when you have a new arrival. Those recommendations show up on the recipient's home page.

    Hope that helps.

    Saw your blog post. Welcome to the neighborhood. Any recommendations for a guy who loves history, politics, pop culture, and good writing?
