Chapter 20 from THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE, contest winners, and New Years contest

First, happy New Year! I’m raising a glass to 2022 with hopes that it’s much better than the past two years. Come on, 2022, you can do this! The bar is LOW for showing up your competition.

Speaking of ringing in the New Year, let’s get to the contest winners from last week.

Congrats Anne, Nikki, and Pam! Please check your emails for details on how to claim your prizes. Everyone else, there will be another chance for you to win because at the bottom of this post is ANOTHER contest. Once again, there will be THREE prizes for THREE winners, and again, part of this contest is open to international readers*.

Before we get to that, we have another new chapter from the upcoming novel, THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE. If you’re new to the blog, I originally published the beginning of THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE as free, partial serial back in 2019, intending it as only a fun glimpse of some early chapters from Bones’s point of view. I never intended to turn it into an entire book, but reader response, plus my own enjoyment, convinced me to finish it. So, now you can relive the beginning of Cat and Bones’s bestselling love story through Bones’s point of view, and trust me, he has a lot to say.
