Whew!

Crazy weekend -- teaching at CWC, readying prizes to go out, answering email. The review that hit the Globe & Mail last Friday meant that my email box has overflowed -- if I owe you a reply, it'll be coming soon, I promise.

We wrap up the final week of this month's A WALK THROUGH A WINDOW launch celebrations with a special Mystery Monday author. She's the one on the left. No moustache.

Care to guess her identity? Here's a hint -- her novel SPIDER'S SONG was just nominated for a Manitoba Book Award. And she is the only author over whose beautiful hair I have waxed poetic. Now if THAT doesn't give it to you...

just click on over to Darby Speaks to learn all!

See you there...

Winnahs!

This week's Launch Month prize winners can be found HERE on Darby Speaks.

Congratulations to all!

Contrary to what I wrote in the blog I posted at an ungodly hour this morning, Jill Murray's winner will be chosen next week, to give her a fair shot at gaining comments (as has become our wont with all our Friday blog subjects in this most marvellous of celebrations).

And speaking of winners, Darby got a very nice mention today in the Globe & Mail. The review made me very happy.

Let's celebrate by giving away books!

Friday Mystery

She's breaking up -- she's breaking...




...oh.






She's not actually breaking up. In fact -- she may be just breaking on through...

Who is she?

Here is a hint or two: Her debut novel was aimed at young adult readers and dances through the subject of ...what else? Breakdancing! She also spearheaded Y-Eh.ca, an on-line resource for young adult writers in Canada.

Got it yet?

Post your guesses in the comments section and then hop over to Darby Speaks to find out the truth! The celebration of the debut of A WALK THROUGH A WINDOW continues...

Mystery Author...Archer...?

The month of celebration continues with today's mystery author ducking behind the silhoutte of a magnificent archer.



Hmmm.




Any guesses as to who this beautiful mystery guest might be? Let's see... she is the author of three best-selling books that explore the scent, taste and touch of the line between the forces of light and shadow.

Do you have it now? If so, leave your guess in the comment section -- for a chance to win a signed copy of one of her novels!

If not....well, I guess you'll just have to shoot over to Darby Speaks and find out the truth.

See you there!

Monday Mystery Guest

In an effort to brighten your Monday, Darby has got another amazing interview on tap with a Monday Mystery guest author.

Who is the pixillated person pictured? Of course, to find out you'll need to head over to DARBY SPEAKS. She's got the full scoop there.

But you can win a shot at one of this writer's wonderful books right here if you guess his name. Just leave your guess in the comments, and you'll be entered to win.

Here are a few wee hints...

This Hugo, Nebula and Galaxy-winning author is one of the most prolific bloggers I know. Perhaps this is the result of having his workspace within the confines of a big easy chair? Who knows...but wherever he sits to work, it certainly suits him.

He's just back from LA ,where one of his most exciting books is currently being filmed as a tv pilot. His current project is a trilogy of books revolving around the internet, AND he is the host of a tv series.

Go on -- take a guess! And then -- er -- why not Flash Forward over to DARBY SPEAKS to read the interview?
