Thanks for a great party!

The Christmas Bash was amazing. If you missed it this year, make a note to attend next year. It was a virtual wonderland that included a beautiful Christmas tree and presents, sleigh rides, an outdoor skating rink with bumper cars, a fabulous bookstore, even a carousel—not to mention the fabulous company. <G>

For those who missed receiving Brenda’s Christmas gift to all her readers, go to the party presents page. Brenda has had two cool 3D screensavers created for you. You can download the one you like best—either a really hot guy (for those romance lovers on this list) or a suspenseful two-slide screensaver designed to send a few chills down your spine.

If you’d like a pair of Brenda Novak 3D glasses to be able to view and show off your new screensaver, simply send an S.A.S.E. to Brenda Novak at P.O. Box 3781, Citrus Heights, CA. The glasses will also enable you to view her new 3D booktrailer for THE PERFECT COUPLE, the next book in The Last Stand series, which will be out at the end of July.
