 Today is "Ground Hog Day" at the Hines home. I do love me some pork sausage.

 I'm asked where I get weird book ideas. Like most writers, I go to the secret bunker I've dug beneath an old slaughterhouse.

 Asked to change my Twitter background to help Haiti. Because, you know, Twitter backgrounds provide food and medical care.

You may have noticed a contest for five "Noir Bizarre" prizes listed on my web site last week, in conjunction with AuthorBuzz. The winners had their choice of five nifty pieces of schwag from the fine folks at Archie Mcphee: a Yodeling Pickle, a Shakespeare Action Figure, a Librarian Action Figure, a Zombie Play Set, or Librarian Tattoos.

Today, I drew the names of the five winners, and they are (their usernames only--I won't publish their email addresses on the web):

  • sharpjds, who chose a Zombie Play Set
  • DianaWelsh, who chose a Librarian Action Figure
  • katloiter, who chose a Yodeling Pickle
  • scott2, who chose a Librarian Action Figure
  • niteyblossom_1, who chose a Yodeling Pickle

I've emailed all the winners. If you didn't win, thanks for entering anyway; because of the success of this contest (evidently, I'm not the only one who likes bizarre schwag), I'm thinking of making this a monthly thing.
