Please note: This party happened November 14, 2014. There’s some great discussion in its various posts, though, so I’ve decided to leave it live. Enjoy! 🙂
The launch party for “Bad Will Hunting”, my SIXTEENTH novel, will be right here on November 14th from 5-9EST.
Here’s what’ll be happening! You are welcome to stay for the entire time or pop in and out, as your schedule allows, and of course you are welcome to bring along any and all of your friends! The more the merrier!
During the party many of the items below will become live links at the appropriate time so you’ll always know how to get around.
We’re going to have great prizes throughout! See the bottom of this page to find out what’s included in the mini swag packs and major swag pack, but I promise it’s all great! (You win by leaving comments on posts as detailed below, and once winners are chosen I’ll post their names here and send them an email after the party to arrange for delivery of their prize.)
Oh, and throughout the party time, these two links will be active:
* download a FREE copy of “Seven Exes are Eight Too Many”, the book that comes before “Bad Will Hunting”, right here! (If you’ve already got a copy, feel free to get one or more for your friends!)
* enter to win signed paperback copies of “Seven Exes are Eight Too Many” and “Bad Will Hunting” plus a major swag pack containing one of every swag item I’ve got! (worldwide!)
Want to be reminded of the party? Just enter your email address below and I’ll send you a reminder a few days beforehand and another the day of the party. (I won’t use your information for anything but the party reminders!)

* a ‘foam’ keychain (only five exist and the company doesn’t make them any more so this is a real collector’s item!) and signed magnet

The magnet is of my first novel “Life, Love, and a Polar Bear Tattoo”, and everything else bears (heh, I said bear) my adorable polar bear logo!
Please note: I do have limited stock on some of these, so as we go I might have to remove an option or two from the list depending on who chooses what. But there’ll always be something cool for you to win!
So what’s in the major swag pack?
* pen
