Even I Am Not ALWAYS Embarassed

I am evidently one of those bloggers who generates the most comments when she opens a post with the line, “OK. This is so embarassing.” (See previous post.)

In spite of that, I am hoping to receive even MORE comments on this post, although I am in NO WAY embarassed by its subject. (And believe me, when you’re as fallible as I am, an utter lack of embarassment doesn’t happen that often!)

Here’s the deal: I have come to be in personal possession of two brand new novels by a wonderful emerging author, Mary DeMuth. How I came to own them is neither here nor there at this point, but let’s just say that these two titles—“Watching the Tree Limbs” and “Wishing on Dandelions”—have been signed by the author not to me, but to a girl named Teri.

And not just any girl named Teri. These books were gifts to actress Teri Hatcher, whose “people” returned them to Mary evidently unread. One can only assume Teri herself begged her assistant to help her carve out time in her busy schedule for novel reading, so enthusiastic was she about the prospect of reading these beautiful novels. I can picture her running her lovely hands over the pastel covers and becoming misty-eyed when she finally realized she had to pass them by.

Her loss has now become your opportunity!! I already own my own copies of both books, and am giving these signed copies (along with a letter from Mary to Teri Hatcher proving their provenance) to a fortunate commenter.

No need to be creative with your comment, either. Just pop in, say Hi, and give me a way to contact you. In a couple days, I will choose a happy winner.

Bon chance, everyone!!

  2. Um, I remember a story that Luke once told me about how he and Scott looked everywhere for signs of Teri that one time they were in Chicago together. They both had this kind of crush on her during her Superman years and Luke being the honest type had to tell me all about it. I was just surprised to hear that Scott crushed on her too!

  3. I have not had the pleasure of reading one of Mary's novels yet, but I've heard good things about them, so I'm putting my name in the hat. I'd even share one book with somebody else. Do I get points for generosity?? Fun story, Katy. And I'm sure it's Teri's loss!

  4. Sounds like Teri's loss, but our gain! Add my name, Katy.

  8. Hi, I am relocated to work in Shanghai and really really short of English books to read. You'd give a turning 29 stressed out working wife many smiley nights if I have a English book to read!

  9. I'm just a writer/reader that's looking for some comments/critiquing myself. Stop by my blog, but please give the books to Mei. Nice to meet ya.

  10. Thanks for all the comments, folks!! And while in the biblical, eternal sceme of things it's true that the first shall be LAST, in today's wacky fallible world, it turned out that the first shall be FIRST. Carrie K's number was randomly chosen from the field of entries. So, Carrie! Come on down! Email me with your mailing address, and I will send you both of Mary's novels. Happy Reading!
