Congrats, Emily! And now for today's amazing feature: 
Mark Montgomery is a slacker content with his life. He's a senior at New Haven Prep, has a great friend, and after graduation he'll get a brand new sports car from his parents, assuming he stays out of trouble. 

Then, she comes into his life--Miranda with her I-just-escaped-from-a-Renaissance-Fair clothing. Only, she hasn't. She's come from Bodiam Castle in the Middle Ages and demands a secret ingredient and a book of recipes for traveling through the treacherous colors of time. Although Mark has never even heard of either before, he must find them, or Miranda will die. To save her, Mark must break into a psych hospital to visit his grandfather who once tried to kill him, pass through the colors of time, take on a medieval alchemist, prevent Miranda's marriage to a two-timing baron, and keep it all hidden from his parents. The sports car is definitely in trouble.

Find the book on Amazon HERE for only $0.99 now!

Shall we meet the author? 

C. M. Keller is an award winning novelist and the author of SCREWING UP TIME and SCREWING UP BABYLON. She loves old movies and poison rings. In her spare time, she searches for that elusive unicorn horn. Currently, she's hard at work on her next YA novel, the third book in Mark and Miranda's story. You can visit her author blog  HERE. She also blogs about family life HERE.

Her favorite cheese is Apricot Stilton, and you might find her eating it in bed while watching a great movie (think Inceptionor How to Steal a Million).

And now for the fun! *rubbing hands*

C.M. gave me two truths and one lie to test your "lie detector" skills. Can you figure out the lie? Those who do will go into my magic hat for a chance to win a Screwing Up Time coffee mug. Eek! How cool is that? Because of postage costs, this only extends to US participants. HOWEVER, you are still welcome to play, even if you are outside the US. You have until Tuesday, September 10th at 1 p.m. to guess--and be sure to come back for the answer on September 11th to view the winner!

AND as an added bonus, anyone who guesses the lie correctly will receive a Smashwords coupon for a free copy of Screwing Up Time.
