Vote on the HALF-DEAD SOCIETY logo!

Sometimes I think I write some seriously weird stuff and wonder if people who read it are going to scrunch up their faces and say, "What was she thinking?" (This happens a lot with my critique group).

Case in point:  in WANTED:  DEAD OR IN LOVE (due out in May with Merit Press), I came up with a group of people who belong to the Half-Dead Society. Yup, you read that right.

The Half-Dead Society is a group of people who have someone dead sharing their bodies with them. Like inside of them. Living and coexisting as one. Creepy, huh?

This week, a fabulous writer-artist-friend of mine, Michael Kelly, designed a logo that I explain in my book. I can't tell you how cool it is to describe and see something in your head and have it come to life before your very eyes. (Kinda like the "Grow Your Own Boyfriend" kit I got as a white elephant gift from a colleague at my work Christmas party. Yes, I'm looking at you, Laura Jaeschke! Just one of the lovely things you can win!)

WHICH LOGO DO YOU LIKE BEST? 
The logo with the most votes will end up on my bookmark!
(Unless no one votes and then I'll close my eyes and point at the screen - very scientific!)
    1. MAROON WITH GRAY TONES

2. MAROON WITH SKIN TONES


3. AQUA WITH GRAY TONES

4. AQUA WITH SKIN TONES


5. SLIME GREEN and RED

To be eligible to win the prize package of:

One "Grow A Boyfriend" kit (you know you want it)

One Bullet keychain (A real bullet! Everyone need this. It's significant in my novel)

One Wanted: Dead or In Love Sticky-Notes Notepad (oh yes!)
One bookmark with logo (you'll be the first! Amaze your friends!)
and
One Really Grateful Author (I'll put you on this list: GOOD-LOOKING PEOPLE I LIKE AND ADMIRE)

All you have to do is:

Vote in the comments (your name entered once)
Follow my Blog (your name entered twice) *There's a little blue sign "Follow This Site" on the left side of this blog to click and add your name OR you can subscribe by email - let me know in the comments.
Add Wanted: Dead or In Love to your Goodreads "Want to Read" List (name entered thrice!) Again, let me know in the comments if you did this. :)


THANKS to all who wandered in here (even if it was by accident!) I'll email you if you won so I can get your address. (US & Canada residents only for this one, unless shipping's less than five bucks. Vote and we'll see what happens. Hey - I'm from Chicago. Voting is always shady.) ;)

Catch you next time! KYM

  10. So....I put all of your names (and the voters on my Facebook page) in a hat and the winner is....Cheri Dvorchak! I'll send her prize package out as soon as the bookmarks come in! :)

    OH...and the winning logo was a tie so I'm doing two different designs - one with # 2 and one with #5.

    Thanks for weighing in everyone! Mwah! ��

    1. Your wish came true. #2 (and #5) have been ordered. Now the only problem that's begging to be asked is...does anyone still use bookmarks?
