Strike a Pose!

Well this week sees that book we're always banging on about "Cocktails at Naptime: A Woefully Inept Guide to Early Motherhood" appearing in bookshops over Australia and New Zealand. By our reckoning it'll start appearing on shelves on the 22nd of September, although it is officially launched on 1st October.

So it's time for the launch of our competition (one of a few we'll be running over the next few months, we reckon).

We want those of you who buy the book to send us a photograph in which the book must appear somewhere in the frame. It should be inspired by something you've read in the book. The best, most inventive and funniest ones will appear on our blog here and our gallery on our website here. And there are prizes for the ten best ones.

"So, Misssy M and Emma K what do I win?" I hear you say.

Well, our fantastico publishers Finch Publishing are offering ten prizes. Our top ten posers will get to choose their prize from a huge selection of Finch's back catalogue. There are loads of amazing titles on there and really something to suit everyone. Go and have a browse if you don't believe us. Click here to go to Finch's website.

So what are the competition rules:

1. Take a photo with the Cocktails at Naptime book somewhere in the shot.

2. Make it as cool and funny as possible.

3. Email a decent sized jpeg of it to mail@cocktailsatnaptime.com 

4. Await the fame and fortune (!?) that comes with it

5. Tell your mates

6. Enter as many photos as you like

To start the ball rolling Emma and I have posed with our copies of the book.

Here's Emma roiling around with hers like Demi Moore in Indecent Proposal ...
