Blog Giveaway: Dara England Style!

Who is Dara England?

broughttolifemediumDara England is the author of the paranormal romance novel Brought to Life, scheduled for release in March of 2009 from Lyrical Press. This will be Dara’s first published novel, although you may have seen some of her short fiction around if you’re a frequent reader of fantasy zines like Allegory and Art&Prose.

Whether visiting medieval style fantasy worlds in her short fiction or journeying through her upcoming novel with a mysterious time traveling duke, Dara is fascinated by magical places and situations. Bringing old fashioned magic into the contemporary urban setting that is the backdrop of Brought to Life was one of the greatest challenges of the novel.

On any given day Dara can be found hunched in front of a battered old computer, typing away at her next manuscript. She is an Internet addict and can frequently be found on line at any of the following locations:

The Giveaway:

The prize is 1 medium-to-large screen print tote, capable of holding your necessities and that includes a book; 3 book marks in fun patterns, 2 fairly large magnets to decorate your refrigerator and hold up notes and pictures with, and 3 tins of vanilla flavored lipbalm keychains to keep your lips kissable soft.

How to Enter: Leave a comment with valid email address!

Winner Will Be Announced: January 25th, 2009 through the help of a random integer generator.

Well, I love free stuff. Thanks for the contest. And may I say what an utterly cool name Dara England is? It’s not a pen name, is it? If it is, at least you have good ideas for pen names!
