I've got something fantastic for you all today . . . but first a little bit of business before I get to the shiny, fun part.

Business:

2. THE LOST SAINT paperback comes out on November 22nd, 2011!!!! We are getting so close!

NOW ON TO THE FUN STUFF...

I've been working closely with the amazing ladies at Infinite Jewelry Co (the official jewelers of TWILIGHT) to design and create jewelry pieces that look just like the rings, bracelets, and necklaces depicted in the DARK DIVINE trilogy. And now, after over a year of planning and designing, Infinite Jewelry Co is pleased to present the official DARK DIVINE jewelry line!

Here's what Infinite Jewelry has to say about it all:

INTRODUCING…The Dark Divine series of amazing, trend-setting jewelry! We are happy to present the new line of jewelry based on the incredible books, The Dark Divine trilogy, by Bree Despain! We have worked closely with Bree to bring to life the jewelry she envisioned as she wrote. We hope that you will love wearing your very own tangible connection to The Dark Divine trilogy!

To celebrate the launch of the Dark Divine jewelry line, from now until December 15, 2011, Infinite Jewelry Co is offering a 10% discount to all of my wonderful readers. Enter coupon code 031312 at checkout in order to receive your discount.*

BUT OF COURSE THERE'S MORE . . .

I am so excited about this jewelry, that I've decided that I need to throw a contest in order to celebrate! Which means I am going to be giving away a few pieces of jewelry to some lucky winners!

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO ENTER TO WIN:

1. Right now, there are three different jewelry pieces available in the Dark Divine line (with more to come after the publication of THE SAVAGE GRACE). Each piece is available in both "classic" and "signature" additions. Today, I am only going to show you my favorite piece, and then make you go find the other two pieces so you can decide which one is your favorite.

So what's my my favorite TDD jewelry piece? I LOVE them all, but the Black Moonstone Necklace is especially awesome and unique. It's just like how I imagined Daniel's moonstone necklace--It even has a crescent moon carved in the middle! It comes on either a cord (like Daniel would wear) or on a delicate chain (like how Grace wore it).

2. Now it's your turn to check out all the Dark Divine jewelry and decide which one is your favorite. Click HERE to be taken to Infinite Jewelry's website so see all the awesome for yourself.

3. To earn your first entry in the contest, be sure to come back here and tell me in the comments of this post which piece is YOUR favorite.

4. You can earn additional entries by blogging our tweeting/facebooking about the contest and sharing the coupon code. Be sure to share coupon code 031312 with your followers so they can also receive a 10% discount (between Nov. 15 & Dec 15, 2011). You can earn +2 entries for a blog post, and +1 entry for either a Facebook post or a tweet. Only 4 entries per individual are allowed.

5. Contest is open internationally. It closes at midnight on November 21, 2011. Winners will be selected through Random.org. If you win, I will send you the piece that you selected as your favorite!!!** Winners will be announced on November 22nd--so be sure to check back in here to see if you won! (Winners will have 30 days to claim their prize or else I will asume they don't want it and I'll give it away to someone else.)

6. And the best part is: I will be giving away 1 piece of "classic edition" jewelry for every 30 INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE who enter the contest. That means the more people you get to enter, the more pieces I will give away!!

** For the purposes of this contest, I am giving away the "classic edition" pieces only.

It's my B-DAY, and I can give stuff away if I want to!

So the last few weeks have been a wild ride, and I'm so happy that you all are here to experience it with me!! Today is my birthday, and I have to say that I LOVE my birthday! And I also love giving people gifts, so I think it's time for a special B-day giveaway.

Here's the gist:

The talented Heather Zahn Gardner has created a jewelry collection inspired by THE DARK DIVINE for her Etsy shop. I am totally in love! So for our contest, I'm going to give away some of her pieces to you guys.

All you have to do in order to enter the contest is go check out her TDD jewelry collection on her website, and then leave a comment here about which two pieces are your favorites. If you win the contest, then I'll send you one or both of your choices (depending on which prize pack you win).

Earn extra points by blogging/facebooking/ or tweeting about the contest. (1pt for each.)

Grand Prize: Win 2 pieces of TDD jewelry + a YA book of your choice

Okay all, have a happy 13th of January! The contest ends Saturday, January 16th at 11:59pm. I'll announce winners on Sunday the 17th.

P.S. I'm having a birthday party and everyone is invited. It's this Saturday, January 16th at the Barnes & Noble in West Jordan, Utah (Jordan Landing) at 2pm. I'll be reading from TDD, answering questions, and signing books. (Okay, so it's a book signing and not an actual party, but we can pretend it's a birthday party, right?) Come celebrate TDD with me! I'll be handing out Dark Divine nail polish, and may even have a few posters to give away.
