Insultingly Easy September Contest
If you’re living in this modern world, someone insults your intelligence at least once a day, so why not let that person be me?
September’s contest is ridiculously easy. All you have to do is sign up for my newsletter using the form below (do this even if you’ve already signed up) and tell me what your favorite plot device is.
Do you love to read about young wizards coming into their power while balancing the demands of school? Secret babies? Shotgun weddings? Alien invasions? Stories that hinge entirely upon the outcome of a spectacular car chase? What is your literary fetish?
That’s it. Just fill out the form below and you could win a $10 Amazon gift certificate and a free copy of C.E. Murphy’s HANDS OF FLAME (part of her popular urban fantasy Negotiator series for LUNA Books). If there is another book that you want, and I have, I might be persuaded to make a change, but I think you’ll like C.E. Murphy! Plus, you’ll have ten bucks to buy something else!
I’ll choose a winner on October 1st!
The ridiculously small fine print: By entering the contest, you agree to let Stephanie Draven use your name on this website and her blog if you win. Your email address will never be sold or transferred to any third party. Stephanie might, however, contact you with the very occasional update on her writing and career. At your request, however, you’ll be promptly deleted from her mailing list.

Already a part of the mailing list.
My favorite plot device: Strong willed beautiful heroine is promised to handsome stranger hero. Two meet by chance, with one or both not knowing who the other is. Fall in love with each other without knowing that an evil third party trying to kill one or both. Hero and Heroine have to find a way to defeat evil third party while not killing each other in process. In the end, good triumphs evil and hero and heroine are in love. (Ok, so that’s the plot of about 80% of the Historical Romances on the market.)

Hey Rebecca, I’m migrating my mailing list from yahoo (because I don’t like how it requires people to have yahoo accounts) and moving it to another system, that’s why the duplication!
As for your favorite plot device, the third party trying to kill them part of your answer really interests me. In all my Nocturne’s so far, the hero, or heroine, or both, have been some kind of immortal creatures, so I’ve had to really work at bringing the intensity of danger to a world where some people can’t be killed. You’ve given me food for thought.
