Seven days from today, my first novel For a Price<\/strong> will be released to the world! I thought I’d share with you the article that started the whole thing. After reading THIS<\/a> back in January, 2009, I sat in front of my computer and tried to wrap my mind around it. $3.8 million dollars for one night of sex with this virgin. Sure, she’s really pretty, and she might have a personality…but almost four million dollars? I just sat there and my little author-mind spun all of these scenarios as to what might spur her into making this decision, then I started writing.<\/p>\n

Read excerpts from the book here<\/a> and here<\/a>, or meet the characters here<\/a>. As soon as it’s available on Monday night, I’ll be posting the buy link, so check back with me!\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now for the fun. I’m posting a little quiz. Whoever gets the answer right wins the first copy off the proverbial e-press of For a Price<\/strong>! (In case of a tie, those commenters\u00c2\u00a0will go into a random drawing.) Just comment on this post with your answer. I’m putting comments on moderation, so I won’t post any of them until the winner is chosen.<\/p>\n

10)<\/strong>Alanna once came out ahead in her trip to Vegas, because\u00c2\u00a0she found a quarter in the parking lot of a gas station. hint<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
