Christmas Countdown 2013 - 24 December

The clock has ticked over to Christmas Eve in England and I am sure that we will be going to bed VERY late tonight depending on when our son goes to sleep...

This post is my thank you post. I would love to name every single person who has touched my life this year but I can't because I will miss someone out and I want you all to know that I love every single thing that people have commented on, or sent me, or reviewed.

Thank you then, to the usual suspects.

There are a few people I have depended on this year far more than they deserved, and for them I give a special thank you.

For Meredith, and her gorgeous artwork. Meredith rocks, and I love her big time. Squishes.

For Chris Quinton, who is just *there* always. For her unfailing support... hugs...

For Amber. Together we have had the weirdest year with the lowest lows and the highest highs, and I will never forget the absolute support I had this year from you. Divas rule.

For Erika, my editor and one of the nicest people I can be horrible to. Thank you for making this weird Brit look good. And to Stacia my minion who proofs my scribbles.

To my Brit girls... Sue Brown, Meredith, SA Meade, Chris Q, Kay Berrisford... xxx

For eXtasy and Totally Bound who said yes when I subbed to them. Thank you. Angela and Emmy, your covers rock, Stacey, Jay, Tina, Nicky... you all rock.

For BitterGrace and her beautiful covers for the Sanctuary series and for making me NY Christmas and Throwaway. Thank you.

Lastly for Mr Rj, who works damn hard to make me look efficient... love you babe xxxx

Mr RJ's Last Crap Joke Section

So here we have the final selection of crap jokes for you. Now before we get down to business, I will take a minute to let you know how the competition will run over the next few days.

Today we have a special prize of Building The Pack signed by Amber Kell, Stephani Hecht and RJ. This is a pretty rare prize and was signed by all three at Gay Rom Lit this year.  So RJ and I can take a break, we will leave this competition running until 11:00AM GMT Christmas Day.  You can only enter once, but this will give people who haven't entered the chance to join the competition.  We will annouce the winner for this and the five main prizes on the 27th December.  Good luck to everyone who enters.
