I Smell Sheep Survey and News + 3 giveaways

1. Last year we asked what kind of posts you guys wanted more of and most of you said guest posts. So we hooked up with some book tour companies and have been doing lots of guest posts, spotlights and cover reveals. We want to know how we did. Did we do too many? Just right? Do we need more variety of books covered? The picture is because Thor.

Give us some feedback by filling out the survey.

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey , the world's leading questionnaire tool.

2. Don't forget there are lots of ways to follow us, but some ways are better than others depending on what kind of info you want.

Follow via email: you will get each post in your mailbox. This is my favorite way to follow blogs.

Follow via FB group: we post a link to all site posts that go up plus I post occasional freebies/deals and contests I find. We have a lot of active readers and authors. We mainly share pictures of sheep, dragons and general WTF-ery we find online. We eat moonpies, drink kool aid and play with the dragon in the dungeon. His name is Jake.

Sharon or Katie's personal facebook pages: we both post links to all site posts. Sharon shares and posts just about every industry related link she thinks will be of interest to readers and lots of WTF-ery. Come be our friend!

Follow via twitter: we post links to the sites daily posts sometimes share contest, posts, giveaways we find online.

Follow via Pinterest: There are three pinterest boards you can follow

I Smell Sheep board: we pin the posts from our site, WTF-ery, funny stuff and industry news.

Freebie/Deals board: all kindle deals and free books I find. I keep this board up to date, but always check the price because they can change quickly and I might not have changed them yet.

Giveaways/Contests board: all contests and giveaways and hops I find online I will post here.

Follow via Google +: you will find all posts from the site and I post most kindle freebies/deals I find and industry news.

Follow via tumblr: all our posts will be here and industry news, WTF-ery, but no freebies/deals.

3. Don't forget you can fill your amazon cart, click out. Come to our site and click the amazon link (right side bar) and go to your cart to check out. We will get a small percentage of the sale.

Grand Opening: Devil in the Details Editing Services

It brings me great pleasure to announce that our girl, Sharon Stogner, has taken the leap into her own editing services mecca! She's bringing the editing like nobody's business and kicking ass while doing it!

I am honored and proud to know this woman. I value her in everything she does and all the ways she keeps the sheep glue together. I Smell Sheep would not be what it is without her. I would not be who I am without her. 

If you're getting worried she's leaving the flock, don't freak out. She's NEVER leaving. Ever. But she is branching out to make editing dreams come true, for authors who need her. 

So, share this post. Spread the love. Help us pimp Sharon out to the world! 

I now give to you the official unveiling of DEVIL IN THE DETAILS EDITING SERVICES!!!!!!

Sharon comes home to Sheep!

Sharon comes to us from North Carolina, where she lives with her husband and two daughters (Lauren 22 and Holly 17). Mini Sheep? I think so... lol

Sharon is a big fan of Dark UF with a romantic element, but can relax and enjoy just about anything Paranormal. She holds a 2nd degree black belt in Taekwondo and with a personal motto like "What doesn't kill me, better run pretty damn fast" this is one gal you do NOT want to mess with. :) She may like Pepsi *shivers* but she is also a huge fan of Star Wars and the TV show Supernatural.

Some of her favorite authors are:
Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, JR Ward, Josh Lanyon, Madelyn Alt, Keasley Cole, Kat Richardson, Mary Stanton, Terri Garey, Karen Marie Moning, Shirley Damsgaard, Angie Fox, Larissa Ione, Ilona Andrews, Karen Chance, Joleene Naylor, Linda Welch, Kalayna Price, JA Saare, Dakota Banks, Jocelynn Drake, Vickie Pettersson, Jeaniene Frost, Donna Augustine, Juliana Stone, Laruel K Hamilton, Scott Nicholson.  As you can tell, she likes reading A LOT and is definitely going to fit in with the rest of us nerds around here. :)

While she could not pick sides in the Marvel vs. DC Universe battle, she picked Marvel! she did have this to say about comics:
"I think I am more of a Dark Horse and Valiant kind of gal and Action Lab Entertainment. I do love Manga! Vampire Knight, Trinity Blood and Loveless are some of my favorites."
*"Yay, Dark Horse!" shouts Ben from the gallery*

Sharon has a wonderful sense of humor and is an all around fun and witty gal. When asked what she will bring to the blog she said, "chocolate! I try to keep my reviews short and to the point. I don't dwell on the plot much cause that information is usually in the blurb. I tell you how a book made me feel and if it satisfied me. When it comes to alpha-males, I am a fangirl and will have fangirl moments. Please, don't tase me! I will calm down on my own "

Sharon also has an editing site, Devil in the Details Editing. She does content and line edits.
