k-sunshine1977

I'll be emailing the winner shortly, so please check your inbox. And to all the wonderful people who entered, commented, followed and just plain made my day - THANK YOU XXXOOO!!!

Now then. Listen up, ye wee maggots. Auntie M.A.D. has JUST what you need to *survive* another holiday season rife with tinnitus-inducing bell-ringing Santas, fruitcakes the general flavor & consistency of mixed cement, and 8 trillion reruns of A Christmas Story/It's A Wonderful Life/Ernest Saves Christmas/Home Alone.

Seriously.

See, I love the holiday season as much as the next corpse, I really do. But we need to spice it up, don't cha think? So let's REALLY get the ol' heart a' pumpin' and have a HOLIDAY ZOMBIE PARTY!!!

And, I'm thinking a yummy copy of DUST would be a terrific present to some lucky maggot.

So I'm gonna think on this and see what magnificent mayhem I can come up with. AND - Any input or ideas are welcome, or any offers of co-hosting for those that might wish to add a grisly goodie to the pot. Just hollar at me/comment/email.

Let's see what I/We/Us can come up with to commence shortly after Thanksgiving and end sometime between Christmas/New Year's.

Alien Tin Foil Hat Giveaway - The Host by Stephanie Meyer

**CONTEST NOW CLOSED**
I'll be selecting the winner soon and contacting he/she/it via email, so be sure to watch your inbox! The lucky winner will also be announced on a separate post. Thank you guys for visiting me and participating in my very FIRST giveaway. Hopefully more giveaways will be upcoming in the near future (depending on my budget lol).


MY FIRST BOOK GIVEAWAY!!!

In honor of Halloween and all things *other-worldly*, I have a brand new copy of The Host up for grabs.

See, a very good fiend ... I mean friend *cough* ... has bolstered me with the nerve ... *ahem* confidence ... to host (no pun intended) my very own contest. She's helped me time and again to understand some of the ins and outs of blogging, reviewing, technical bs, and all the tedious minutia that comprise this little window to the world called Mary Ann DeBorde Writes (and Reads!).

Without her patient support, I'm sure I'd be drooling in a corner somewhere.

So without further ado, and before I let Bubba from Tiny Trailer Town out of Pitfalls, Illinois pass on the skinny for the giveaway - I want to say:

THANK YOU, VELVET!




"This here be Bubba. Now, I knows you folks been worryin' and wringin' yer hands 'bout them leetle bug-eyed critters flyin' round all over t'place like saucers on steroids, they be.

It were be honest o' me t'admit that I been worried sumthin fierce, too. It be hard e-nuff to keep Six-Toes-Ted's beer cans picked up out o' my yard cos he is the laziest son of a gun I ever did see an' won't pick up after his self no matter if I threaten to tell Maybelle 'bout that time he been flirtin' with that yung gal down at the Dollar Barn like he ain't been married no dang twenty year to the best leetle woman who can bake a biskit like nobody I ever did seen.

Now I gots t' worry bout them aliens an' theys fancy schamncy flyin' saucers they parade round in tearin' up my sheet metal an' I just got the dents hammered out last month after that bad hailstorm we done had.

Plus the widder Smith ain't been seen in a week an' t'tell you the truth I swear on my Ford pickup it be so, that I am thinkin' them dang bugly aliens done stole her clean to Mars, they did an' prolly proud of it!

Honest t'gawd.

Watch out, folks is all I'm gonna say for here on out. Them fugly bug people will get in yor head and steal yor brains gone ... jes like them dang zombeez. If'n it ain't one thang it's a'nother.


So here's the deal I done thought up-
