If you haven't yet entered to win fabulous prizes, see the post below this one for details.
Yesterday I received the WAKE dog tags and they are suh-weet! They are all silvery-shiny aluminum with the word WAKE etched into them. Very cool, not obnoxious.
And today, Robin Brande shared a little bit about WAKE on her blog (she managed to get her hands on an ARC of the book). Just a little over 4 months to release day!

2.5 A cowboy hat, if you must know.

The best advice
I've ever received about writing was this:
Think of the one thing your protagonist would never, ever do.
Then, make him do it.
On a related note:
Think of the one thing you would never ever do again.
I know what mine is.
Acrylic fingernails.
1. Ow. They hurt.
2. I couldn't type. TRAGEDY!
3. I woke up in the middle of the night in a panic, dreaming that each of my fingers were in tiny individual jail cells. And ow! (see #1)
Never. Ever. Again.
What's your one thing?
