TONIGHT: MOJOS KARAOKE CHALLENGE FINAL!
From FaceBook event page:
It’s finally here! The championship!! We have selected 6 lucky finalists! Come on and watch as they compete to become the ultimate karaoke champion!!
All 6 finalists will need to be at Mojos before karaoke starts, before 10:30 pm. At that time they will need to give our DJ the 3 songs you will perform to win the BUSCH GARDENS SEASON PASS!!
We will be looking for crowd reaction to select our winner, so make sure you bring all your friends!!!
If all 6 finalists aren’t there at 10:30, we just might pick some wild cards… so everyone is encouraged to come ready to win!
This is the VERY LAST night of karaoke at Mojos!! So let’s make sure we make it a good one!!!
See you all there!!

“the first draft of the sequel to Oregon Hill”
Howard Owen blogs (and does not sleep), as he prepares for the release of his new novel, Oregon Hill:
One of the more interesting things about being a novelist–or at least doing it the way I do it–is that you are sometimes juggling three books at once.
Right now, for example, I am getting closer to the pub date for Oregon Hill, which means I just received the bound galleys, which go out to pre-publication reviewers and others. I check those for the kind of glitches that can happen even after reading it five or six times already. (Once, an entire chapter was missing from the bound galleys. Somebody neglected to click and drag that chapter, I guess.) I’m also lining up readings/signings for August and September.
At the same time, I’m coming closer to the end of the first draft of the sequel to Oregon Hill. I hope to finish it this summer, after which my wife and most trusted editor, Karen, will read it. Then, I’ll act on (most of) her suggestions and polish it.
