Celebrating with The Promo
Here's the deal. I have two book events last week:
1. a 4.5 star Romantic Times review for Thank You, Mrs. M.... I'd put it up but I think they don't like that when it's not on their website yet.
2. and a print copy of Taken Unaware became available. Also in the still-hanging-in-there news, Summer Devon got a new contract from EC **
So.
I am going to give away a print book on Tuesday and then one on Friday. And the first three people who make a remark here on the blog will get a download of the book that got the nice review. And then I'm going to give away two more books at the end of the month, too.
Got that? I've been entering contests lately and they've gotten pretty complicated. Yet I also have the standard craving shared by all writers: that is have to have other people post about my books and my blogs and my contest and me, me, me,*** so I'll add rule two and the usual bribe.
The rules:
1. Comment below on this blog and maybe win a book to be given away this week.
2. Comment sometime in August in your blog/face book page/where ever, about my contest or my books**** send me a link and at the end of the month you can maybe win a book AND a $25 gift certificate to Barnes and Noble (or, if you'd rather, Borders) to be given away at the end of the month.
Ta da!!

**The contract's for a book that will be called....
wait for it....
we worked on this one....
Irrational Arousal.
As my pal Kathy pointed out, all arousal is irrational. (The editor and I kept running titles past each other asking "is that too boiled bunny?" We hope this one isn't.)
*** Actually if you just bought the damn books and didn't mention them or me anywhere, that would be fine, but I've figured out that the making-money-with-writing life doesn't work that way.
**** Comments about my cute dog/kids, my political views, weight or singing skills do not qualify as entries but we don't mind them.

Hi :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fun contest.
I downloaded your story and it is on my ToBeRead list.
So many great stories, so little time!

Congratulations to you! You're so busy now, I'm impressed you've got time to run a contest (LOL).
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading your work--because your tweets are great.
Irrational Arousal. LOL, Love it!
ReplyDelete(And boiled bunny?) And yeah, making-money-with-writing? Is there such a thing?
Congrats on the good review! It's about time. ;)
ReplyDeleteIrrantional Arousal... I like it. Definitely makes me want to know more.
Congratulations on the great review. LOL at boiled bunny but the title works for me. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteBoiled bunny. LOL Not squirrel?
ReplyDeleteI wasn't going to comment in this comment area, because then I'd have to do complex mathematics to keep myself out of the contest, but the boiled bunny is a Cultural allusion. Glenn Close in that movie where she latches onto a married man and goes nuts. Damn. Hold on, wiki time. . .
ReplyDeleteOkay here we go. a bunny boiler.
Hopped on over to see your good review. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm here. Now what? Where's my book? I'll tell you what. . .I'll promote yours if you promote mine (not that my blog gets a lot of hits), but it can't hurt.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the great review!!
Forget it Fester--the book is MINE!
ReplyDeleteKate--Fatal Attraction--boiled bunny Glenn Close and Michael Douglas...
GOOD LUCK
Making money writing? Do YOU? Does anyone? I thought we just sweat blood for the pleasure of it...
Conga-rats on the new contract! I'm doing the Kermit thing again....

ReplyDeleteYay for new EC contract!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new contracts and thanks for the contest ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat about Irritational Arousal? Subtitle: A Spanish Fly Romance
ReplyDeleteJust bought your Summer Devon from teh evil Amazon. Would have rather gone to B&N, but I figure you want to boost your Amazon ranking :)
Summer/Kate, I already posted on the wrong (most recent) post. LOL
ReplyDeleteSo I'll repeat part of it. I have already read and loved your "Taken Unaware". Congrats on it's print release yesterday.

ReplyDeleteBeen missing in blogland, I know - but I promise to try and be back a bit...
MEGA-Congrats on the new books and reviews and contracts!! Whoo hoo!!
Congratulations! Sounds lovely! I haven't blogged in forever (well, several months), but maybe I'll get something posted before tomorrow...? Or, if not, congratulations to whomever wins the book & gift certificate!
ReplyDeleteLOL- too funny. Can't get over the "boiled bunny".
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your contract and your print release.
