Happy Valentine’s Day from Alice and Harvey!

As you can see, I am a huge nerd and made Valentines from/to Alice and Harvey. Side Effects May Vary is hitting shelves in about a month, and since love is fickle, but books are forever, I’m giving away one signed arc. All you have to do is reblog or retweet this picture set before 11:59pm PST on 2/14/2014 to enter. US residents only for this one. You may retweet AND reblog, but only two entries per person. Tumblr/Twitter follows not required, but always welcome.

Big Fat Cupcake

This week, I want to show off BFC. Every time I walk into this store, my jaw drops. Having a cupcake the size of your hand for a few dollars makes me extremely happy. Another feature that melts my heart, is the story behind the store. The owner, who battled cancer and won, started this restaurant to bring sweetness and happiness to everyone who eats there (and it works)!
