"Preditors and Editors Polls"
Check out who the #1 writer is in this year's preditors and editors poll. Okay I shared the position but still!
http://anotherealm.com/prededitors/voteauthor07.htm
I also came in third as poet - how I haven't a clue (But I am in a lot of on-line poetry groups...) and in the top ten of several other categories. The artwork for my magazine Chilling Tales also conquered the competition. That is something I am very proud of my webmaster, collaborator and dear friend Stevie Farnaby outdid himself on that. Yes, that is indeed him posing on the cover.
Chilling Tales is doing rather well and is for sale in some really cool locations. Including the deliciously divine Dark Delicacies in Burbank California.
Thanks to anyone here who cast a vote my way.

"A Curious Competition"
P.S. Gifford is proud to announce the start of a contest to officially begin the promotion schedule of his latest book "The Curious Accounts of the Imaginary Friend." How would you, yes you sitting at your computer right now, like to win an autographed first edition of this corker of a book? Well now you just might! Entering the contest is completely free, takes only a few moments of your time and a smidgen of imagination. So you have absolutely nothing to lose do you? To be a participant in this fun and wacky contest all you need do is include the link 'http://www.psgifford.com/curious2.html' in a blog, rss feed, to your website, in a yahoo group post or any other creative way that you can think of!, then add a few words about me, the book, or the contest.
Then, when the post is up simply send me the link to curiousaccounts@yahoo.com by December 31st On January 1st all entrants’ names will be placed into a rather spiffing hat. My son shall pull out the lucky winner, and the event shall be recorded for prosperity and posted on youtube, and the winner’s name will be added to my website. And a few days later that lucky person shall receive a signed copy of my book arriving in their mailbox! It doesn’t matter if you live in England, New Zealand, Barbados or Timbuktu. It is as easy as that! Oh, and to add a little spice to the mix- the entrant who comes up with the most creative post (as decided by the Gifford team) will receive not one - but three entries.
So what are you all waiting for? Get blogging
Cheers and good luck,
P.S. Gifford
