| Chat with Jo Beverly 12/6/00 |

Jo B - Sara, quite. If Hawk was in the army now, he'd be in computers for sure.
Go back to Part 1
Cissy - awwww...Jade. Sweet 
- come back and chat again!
josephine - night jade
Stacey - Night Jade 
Jo B - Thanks, Cel. It's been a tough year for me writing all that, but it will be worth it.
Sara - Mari is next (Nanette, Susanna are in line)
Sara - yes, and we are grateful, Jo!
josephine - ?
Mari - So about those spinoffs....? And did you say something about giving away books tonight? * Looking VERY hopeful*
Jo B - I've spent today preparing some web pages on the Rogues and the Georges and the upcoming books, so they'll be up soon.
Jo B - Someone tell me how you usually do book givaways.
shy - By drawing but you could do trivia.
shy -
Cissy - Jo, if have some books to give away, I can put all the names into a list and you can give me random numbers to pick winners
Cel - Come on Sara, tell Jo how the giveaways work.
Cissy - yes, or you could do Jo Beverly trivia
Sara - oh, we, usually let you pick a number or give a question and the first one answers wins
Jo B - Sara, I have to say that my books take place after the war, so there's no direct stuff about the QM etc. Only things Hawk mentions.
shy - Of course you might be mobbed this crew doesn't like trivia 
Mari - Was I being pushy???
Sara - trivia is always good!!
Jen L - Are the web pages up and running tonight?
bryony - Perish the thought Mari.
Sara - of course NOT, mari!!!
Jo B - I haven't got any trivia questions prepared.
shy - I know. Always my choice Sara.
Sara - yes, Jen. You mean on Writerspace?
Cissy - how about random drawings, then, Jo? Give me a minute to get everone into a numberd list and shuffle them up
Nanette - good i crumble under pressure 
Cel - Since I can't participte in the giveaway, brb
bryony - Assign a book/s per continent!
Jo B - I have a couple of hard to finds here. Dark Champion, Emiliy and the Dark Angel, and The Fortune Hunter. (Is that hard?)...
Sara - ah, see, Cissy is SO efficient. I am just hopeful *batting eyes innocently*
Jo B - And then I can add a couple of the newer books for anyone who doesn't have them.
Cissy - lol, bryony
Sara - oh, be still my beating heart!!
Jo B - Jen, I haven't finished the pages quite yet.
shy - Byrony I don't think that would be fair. You are the only one down under here.
Sara - yes, definitely okay, JO!!
Cissy - wow, Jo, you'll have us all 
Sara - yes, I noticed that, Shy!!
bryony - How about sending book/s to the person furthest away!
bryony - tThat's my point shy.
Jo B - I suppose first name out of the hat gets first pick.
Mari - Yeah! 
ing up and down 
Cissy - If you'll give me a number between 1 and 18, I'll draw the first winner
Jo B - Where are you, Bryony?
shy - Now that isn't fair either Bryony

Jo B - You want me to pick the winner?
Jo B - I thought as much, Bryony.<G>
