And the Spot in the Wild contest is still on-going: The nextsix five [five down already!] to send me a photo of Flesh and Fire in the wild will get a Limited Edition Vineart War traveling corkscrew, perfect for tailgates, conventions, and using as a makeshift tool to get cat hair out of the keyboard (not recommended by manufacturer of either corkscrew or keyboard).
A separate contest for digital readers will begin at 12:01 am tomorrow morning, when the e-versions are released. First five e-reader sightings will also get a corkscrew!
