Third Annual utopYA Awards 2014 - post 1

Hello little aliens,

As promised, I’m going to start sharing some fun times from UtopYA Con 2014. I’ll start first with the Third Annual utopYA Awards night. This evening was meant for everyone to come together in their finest clothes and support their friends, authors, bloggers, cover models and fans as awards were given out for various categories. 

Now, I think I managed to get pictures of the slides for almost all the announced winners. I also tried to get pictures of the winners on stage. Some of the winners could not be in attendance and I did not get all the Adam Kunz “accepting for Jennifer Armentrout” moments but I did get a lot! I do apologize in advance for the grainy pictures... I had to limit the flash so I wouldn't blind people.

I’ll break up the awards ceremony into a few blog posts so that it doesn’t get too long.

So, if you’re ready, here are the winners of the Third Annual utopYA Awards:

Welcome to the Third Annual utopYA Awards 2014!

Let's get this party started!

Rockin' out before the awards begin.

Best Sci-Fi Book of the Year: Under Different Stars

Amy A.Bartol

Best Dystopian Book of the Year: Red Hill (Jamie McGuire not present)

Best Fantasy Book of the Year: Rapture

Quinn Loftis

Best Contemporary Book of the Year: Crash Into You (Katie McGarry not present)

Best Paranormal Book of the Year: White Hot Kiss (Jennifer Armentrout not present)

Friday the 13th

Happy Friday the 13th!
I hope you get to enjoy your “Honey” moon!  :)
 

As for me, I am celebrating the day with some cool Author Swag! I received my new business cards, my author bookmarks and some neat postcards with an excerpt of my novel on the backside.

I’m so happy that they arrived today because I’ll be taking them to utopYA Con next week! That’s right, if you’re one of the lucky 600+ attendees, you might be able to score one (or more) of these bad boys.  :)

And to make it fun, I’m going to create a contest. To receive an autographed swag item, you have to know the secret word and work it into a sentence when you meet me.

The secret word is:

Meow

If you can somehow use the word “meow” in our conversation, I’ll sign the card right on the spot (except if I’m in the bathroom or something embarrassing like that). If I like your sentence/comment, I’ll tweet it out and share with everyone – the funnier the better.   :)

I won’t have an exhibition table and I won’t be on a panel so you’ll have to hunt me down. I shouldn’t be too hard to find… after all, I am the cat lady.        ^.  .^

I can’t wait to meet you at utopYA Con!  

Until next time ~
