Sometimes Having Issues...

isn't a bad thing.

The Litblog Co-Op has informed me that my entry merited a free copy of Demon Theory. Although fear of a Sesame Street cartoon might seem silly for a 37-year-old, I can still see those footed flowers in my head. Over dinner the other night, I read the story to Eddie and tried to explain how I had to leave the room whenever the scary Dandelions were on. His reaction was a blank stare. Sigh. There is a bright side, though. A neighbor has remarked, more than once, about the lack of weeds in my lawn. Thanks to the LBC, Stephen Graham Jones, and MacAdam/Cage.

Congratulations also to Jamie of AuthorStore and How Not to Write for winning in the hair metal band category. Woot!

Well, at least you can take comfort in the thought that your story, however traumatizing in real life, has won you a free copy of a novel about a terrifying demon taking over someone's house. I understand from the publisher's site that it is a comedy. There are no dandelions but there are some aggressive daffodils in the footnotes.

P.S. Thanks for reminding me to not hog the glory for myself. I updated my post. :)

Heh, demons ain't nothing compared to fierce Dandelions. I think I'll be able to handle it, but I hope I don't become compelled to rid my flower garden of its Daffodils.
