Thank you for attending my launch party. I hope you had as much fun as I did.
I will be spending the next few hours (and probably tomorrow) tallying up everyone's points. If you are one of the five people who won tonight's giveaway, you will be contacted within the next 48 hours.
Before you go, could you please fill out this quick survey?
Did you guess that Seddy's favorite drink is a mochatini?
It's a drink her roommate invented. Can you guess how it is made?

You've seen the cover. You've had drinks with the characters. Now is your chance to ask the author for more information. You can ask about the characters, the plot, the writing process. Anything you want until the end of the party.
How to participate?
Simply ask your questions in the comments below and I'll answer them for the rest of the night.
How to play
Step 1: Scramble the letters in the book title to make a new word. You can only use each letter once.
Step 2: Post your word in the comments. Post as many words as you can think of. You earn points for each word you create.
Step 3: All words must be English words listed in the dictionary at www.dictionary.com.
Example:
How many words can you make from the title Sample Book?
The word boo would be worth three points. You can use the o twice because it appears twice in the title.
However, the word mom does not count because there is only m in the title.
Photofest. The ultimate photography convention. Not only is Seddy finally able to attend, but this year, it is being held in the city for which she was named. And she cannot wait.
No sooner does she check into the conference when a murder interrupts her night on the town with a new friend. Shaken, Seddy just wants to put the incident behind her.
But someone has other ideas. After attending her first day of workshops, Seddy discovers her hotel room has been ransacked. Her new love interest seems very eager to help her while the local detective keeps asking her questions about her camera. To make matters worse, the chief of police keeps giving her strange looks.
And then someone tries to kill her.
As she works out whom she can trust, Seddy realizes she may hold the one piece of evidence that could help solve the mystery.
One of these is the real cover for One Night In Sedona. One has been altered.
List the differences in the comments. The first person to spot a difference wins a point.
Can you spot all five?
