Summer book bag giveaway!

While a lot of other authors will be at RWA having fun this week, I'll be at home writing and editing and making my own fun with ya'll, stuffing random goodies in two separate book bags for summer giveaways. Each day from now until July 31st, I'll be stuffing an item into each bag. Knowing me, it could be anything—anything at all...mwahahaha... Sorry, got carried away a bit there. lol So watch for blog updates throughout the rest of the month, also on my Facebook author page and on my Twitter feed for clues as to what's in the bags, because on August 1st, I'll be inviting ya'll to tell me what's in the bags and the person who comes closest wins that bag!  Keep in mind, although some items may be identical in each bag, not all items will be the same (that would be too easy, lol). Hint: Many of the drop items may not have any connection to the famous book pictured on each bag.

Ready to start gathering clues? Remember, don't guess until after all items are in the bag (an item a day until July 31st, 2013).


Book Bag 1 is the ever quirky and comically delightful Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, seen below.

Book Bag 2 is the lovable classic from Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book, seen below.
