At long last a LiveJournal by Jeri Smith-Ready

When Jackie Kessler e-mailed me to announce she'd tagged me with a meme, I thought, she doesn't just write books about demons--she is a demon.

But then it turned out to be an easy one. So I'll spare Jackie the holy water Super Soaker.

Here are the rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people and post a comment to the person who tagged you once you’ve posted your three sentences.

So the nearest book is Jana Oliver's Virtual Evil, the second in her superb time travel/Jack the Ripper/shapeshifter mystery trilogy that started with Sojourn, which won approximately 10,435 awards last year. Here's the sample--which works most perfectly, as serendipity would have it:

"You did say that the perfect murder is one in which the blood is on someone else's hands," Satyr went on. "You have often stated that you felt he presented a threat to your future plans. This will remove the sergeant from our concerns."

Yikes! I haven't gotten to that part yet. Must go read...

But first...the tagging:

1. Ann Aguirre
2. Victoria Dahl
3. Stephanie Kuehnert
4. Jana Oliver
5. Cynthia Eden

Speaking of Cynthia, check out her interview yesterday, where you can win one of two free signed books, which both sound amazing. I'm jealous I can't win them.
