Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

OOOH, who is the lucky winner?

Okay, fine, paperback novel, whatever.

So, the other day, HERE, I ran a quickie contest to celebrate the joy of my paperback release, wherein I told you that the paperback edition of The Pull of Gravity has an author Q&A in the back, and I asked you to guess my answer to these questions from that section:


"Do you have any strange or funny habits? Did you as a kid?" 

I received a lot of fun answers -- um, thank you, I think?! -- but none of them exactly right. *winces*

It was a little hard to choose which answer came closest. *rolls eyes* 

I decided to go with the answer provided by:

drumroll:

Kandice!

Since hers and mine both have something to do with going to the bathroom. *coughs*

Kandice's answer: "You couldn't help yourself, while at slumber parties, from dipping your sleeping friends' hands in warm water, then giggling like an idiot until someone woke up, discovered a *cough* mess, then you pretended to be asleep and feigned complete and righteous innocence?" 

My answer:

Yes, that is the best I could do. I hope it's okay with all of you. :) 

So, if you want to read the rest of the Q&A, you'll have to pick up a snazzy new copy of The Pull of Gravity, NOW out in paperback, at your favorite online or, better yet, brick & mortar bookseller. 

But, don't just buy it for the Q&A, I think it's a pretty good story.

Oh, and if you read it already and liked it, please tell a friend or two about it.
