Life of a Random

That got your attention didn't it. This is a post that I've been thinking about writing for a long time. It's kind of a introduction post and kind of a clarification post. I want to talk about my name. Around the time I started this blog, I decided to come up with a pen name in case I ever wanted to publish a book under one. Then, because I was paranoid over revealing any real-life information (courtesy of the mom), I decided to use that pen name as my name on Life of a Random too. In other words, Skylar Finn is my pen name and identity in the blogging community. I love it! I probably will write something under it, but...at the same time, I want people to become familiar with my real name too in case I ever publish anything under that or even meet some of you awesome people in real life. My real name is Selena Hughes. I go by Selena to almost everyone I know. No nicknames because...um just because. This brings me to a tricky situation when I do guest posts or ...

As I promised *jazz hands* a giveaway! This is not a gigantic or even slightly large giveaway because I wanted it to be international and postage...yeah. But this is fun and collectible and I'm so happy I've got something to give away. Seriously, I was scared I wasn't gonna be able to come up with something. The giveaway features signed 'Something Strange & Deadly' and 'Strange & Ever After' (by Susan Dennard) bookmarks. There will be one winner and the giveaway is international. Spread the word (even though I know that of course you want this all to yourself ;) ) and enter! And while we're on the subject, you should really check out Susan Dennard's amazing trilogy (the pictures are linked to the books' Goodreads pages):        This giveaway will last for about a week. When it's over, I'll try to get the bookmarks in the mail as soon as possible along with a short note from mwah. Let the games begin! And may the odds...
