E-mail YingCome to my book launch party on March 9! Details here.
To celebrate my North American debut, I’m giving away 3 fabulous prize packages. These will include a shiny new hardcover copy of The Agency: A Spy in the House and an Agency t-shirt. These will be randomly drawn.
There will be a fourth mystery prize, not randomly drawn, and this will go to the entry that makes me laugh really, really, hard. Ideally, it will make me spurt coffee out my nose. Yes, I’m that classy, and also willing to suffer for a joke.
Mystery prize rule 1: I reserve the right not to give this out at all.
Mystery prize rule 2: A randomly drawn winner may also win this extra prize.
So, what do you have to do? Simply leave a comment below that completes this sentence: “If I were a spy…” You can enter more than once by spreading the word on Twitter, Facebook or at your blog (1 extra entry for each means of dissemination). Tell me what you did in your comment. This contest closes on March 31.
Good luck, everyone!

If I were a spy, you wouldn’t know where the prizes went. Just saying.
I’d be sacked! I am the world’s worst secret-keeper and far too much of a gossip! Top Secrets would be Tweeted in minutes
If I were a spy….I would get myself into the world cup final!
If I were a spy…I wouldn’t tell you now would I?
if i were a spy, i won’t have the license to kill but i do have the license to learn how to drive (AKA my driver’s permit). WHEEE!!
If I were a spy, I would love to be a spy in the house of love (thank you Anaïs Nin).
If I were a spy I’d astutely track down the trucks that transport brand new books and with my spy ultra-modern and super-cool gadgets, I’d take them from the confines of the truck to my super secret hideaway.
Probably I’d repeat said plan with ice cream trucks, cupcake delivery vehicles, etc.

If I were a spy, I would love to be one of those cool Chinese spies with their black masks and pseudo-flying abilities lol
I don’t even care what I’m spying on, I just wanna fly to get there =X

Thanks for the contest, I’m really looking forward to this book!
My friend’s expecting her copy in the mail and has been rampantly checking her mailbox everyday, sometimes twice lol
If I were a spy, I would have a cool sidekick like Watson. We would be teachers by day and spies by night. No one would know about our secret missions at nighttime…..everyone would think we were just English teachers.
Thanks for this great contest! I look forward to reading this book.
Ooohh.. If I were a spy, I’d have all sorts of neat gadgets like Bond – guns that fit inside my glasses or shoes that carried knives, things like that. I’d probably kill myself using them, but it sounds like fun!
I’d make sure to get one of those cool poison lipstick gadgets. And rock the shades.
If I were a spy, I would consistently accidentally trip and fall into the answer to a mystery… or into getting caught, which I would escape by running and hiding (and then accidentally solve the mystery).
If I were a spy, I’d be just like Jacki Chan, having all the cool martial arts skills (karate?) and all the cool gadgets! And I’d take all the chocolate and books i want with my super-cool, super high tech, gadgets!

If I were a spy…I would visit historic houses of authors, artists, etc. that I love (Beatrix Potter, for example) and spend some time outside of regular “visiting hours” getting to know their space a little better. Develop creativity through osmosis!!
If I were a spy I would never get my hand caught in the cookie jar.
If I was a spy I would forget that I was a spy. This comes along with old timers..a condition you aquire after age 66..LOL…I would have the hottest news about a big spy organization and forget to tell my boss., Until after the sh… hits the fan.. Then I would go into denial…
What was I saying?? Oh well, it will come to me later, hope it is not important..
If I were a spy my mother would be convinced that I was only doing it to allow me to look at naked men and she would blame it all on my not getting chosen for the cheer leaders team in high school.
If I was a spy, I’d sneak like a sneaky sneaking thing!
*tweeted and Facebooked as well!*
If I were a spy I would stalk all my favorite authors and slip into their houses and read their ARCs plus leave them fun but random (but not creepy) notes
(retweeted)
If I were a spy, I would sneak peaks on the set of Eclipse (Twilight #3).
if i were a spy, i would have all the books i want before they came out, by sneaking into the ARC publishers warehouses with my cunning skills! i’d also be able to sneak my way onto my husbands navy ship to see him when he’s away on deployment!:) hehe
If I were a spy, I’d try to hook up with Sydney Bristow and her team (except Sloane because he sucks) because she’s, without a doubt, one of the most kick-ass spies in the history of spydom and I would have the chance to learn all of her skills. I also think she goes on the best (albeit, most life-threatening) missions and would definitely be the person you’d want on your side in a pickle.
If not Sydney, I’d also go with Chuck Bartowski because he’s the cutest nerd-spy in existence and I wouldn’t mind being stuck in close quarters with him. *coughs* XD; (One could only guess why…)

If I were a spy, I would 1) Get a super cool secret identity, then 2) I would learn some martial arts!
Thanks for holding the contest!
If I were a spy, I would sneak ninja-like into your house and steal the prizes for my own nefarious plot to take over the world! BWAHAHAAHAHA *cough hack gag* Um…ahem. I mean, I would use my spy skills for the good of the people! Riiiight…hehehe ^_^
…since I clearly am a spy, this is a hard question to answer, not to mention hugely unfair. But if I were a better spy, then I would probably stop telling people I am a spy, and get on with spying.
If I were a spy, I would dress up as a mascot who looks like Pamela Anderson; so no one would ever suspect a mascot…. or a hot woman.
If I were a spy I would figure out the secrets that keep the world from having peace!
If I were a spy I would totally rock the chic Parisian look. You know, black high heel boots, slim black pants, black jacket, big sunglasses, and dark wavy hair. That’s how I’ve always pictured spies anyways… And then, if Sherlock Holmes were still shooting, I would flouce my way onto the set and have a great time with the two leading men of that wonderful movie. I think spies and detectives go along great together, don’t you?
If I were a spy… I would put James Bond to shame.
Wonderful contest, can’t wait till your book comes out.
If I were a spy, I’d sneak over to Area 51 and see if they really do keep aliens or other such extraterrestrials over there. XD
And I linked this contest to my sidebar, http://limericksbookspot.blogspot.com/
Thanks for the contest!
If I was a spy, all male cuties got to beware ;D
If I were a spy… What do you mean, IF?? Totally am. *buffs nail polished fingers*
If I were a spy I would probably spy on as many people as possible. I think it would be fun to learn one thing about everyone else doesn’t know about. And I could do that if I was a spy because people would have no idea I was there.
If I were a spy I would have a sidekick I called ” My Lil Eye” so I could name my blog “I Spy with My Lil Eye….” and we would spend our time looking for things that are red….and octagonal….
If I were a spy I would be the least successful spy in history because I have such a large chest that no matter how well I disguised myself anyone upon whom I attempted to spy would take one look at me and say, “Hey, I recognize those … uh, I mean, you!”
So, did coffee spurt out of your nose?
If I were a spy I’d know your every thought before you even thought them up
If I were a spy, I would want to know other people’s secrets because I think it’s interesting to find out what your neighbours, family members or friends are keeping from you:)
If I were a spy…I would have to start acting much more boring than I do now. Pigtails, crazy striped socks, tons of beaded jewelry…not great for going unnoticed…Then again, what cover…
If I were a spy…I would never get a job because I am so outspoken. If someone I was spying on did something wrong I would be the first to tell them.

If I were a spy, I’d stay the heck away from James Bond. All the women he meets tend to die.
If I were a spy I would be so scared all the time that someone would find me out!! I guess I wouldn’t be very good at doing this! lol
If I were a spy I would already know where you were, what you were thinking and what you were planning to do.
If I were a spy, I would read mystery novels backwards.
If I were a spy…my neighbor would have no privacy
Thanks for this!
if I were a spy….. there would be no solved cases. I would end up on the wrong side of the case. I cannot keep a secret,nor can remember my own name at times.I have to read to the end of a mystery cause I cant solve it ahead of time. even little mysteries like why the car keys are in the frig,would not get solved!
If I were a spy, I’d read my husband’s emails…oh, wait! I already do!
If I were a spy, I wouldn’t sit in my chair and dream of being in shape. I’d be taller and able to leap over fences instead of tripping when I walked. I’d speak multiple languages suavely instead of stuttering whenever I get in front of crowds….oh well….
If I were a spy, I would be a Master Spy with my own spy agency. My agents would be the sleekest, sexiest, sneakiest male sleuths on the planet. They would smile when they call me “M’am”!
If I were a spy…I would be able to find out what everyone in my family is really doing when I don’t seem them… but I wouldn’t since ignorance is bliss.
