If you tweet, get your typing thumbs ready for BookView Cafe's second Twitter-Fic Contest!

To celebrate the latest book release from member author, Phyllis Radford aka P.R. Frost, BookViewCafe.com (BVC) will be holding their second twitter fic contest June 3rd through June 5th. Radford will be joined by BVC members Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff and Madeleine Robins in judging the entries. First prize will be an autographed copy of Radford'’s book, Faery Moon. Second prize will be an autographed chapbook of P. R. Frost'’s short story "“Alien Voices".”

The theme for this contest is Faeries and Slot Machines. It fits the book, honest.

THE RULES:

1) Up to five entries per twitterer.
2) One tweet per entry.
3) All work must be original to the twitterer.
4) No obscenity. If you can't say it on network TV between the hours of 10pm-12pm you can't say it here.
5) No late entries will be considered.
6) No early entries will be considered.
7) Tweet your entry @bookviewcafe (type "@bookviewcafe" and a space, then your story, into your update box). All entries must BEGIN with @bookviewcafe.

Rules are online at http://www.bookviewcafe.com/index.php/BVC-Twitter-Fic-Contest-2

BVC’s wildly successful first twitter fic contest was held in April in celebration of member Pati Nagle'’s release of The Betrayal.


Faery Moon, a Tess Noncoire Adventure by P.R. Frost, is available now from DAW. Order from Powells or Wy’East Book Shopped and Art Gallery (http://www.wyeastonline.com).

Here is a trailer for a video game in the works: The Beatles: Rock Band. The trailer itself is lovely, and like a tiny history of the band.

And: elephant in a Sgt. Pepper suit! What's not to love.
