Be Still My Heart (Contest)

Posted on January 13, 2012 | 3 comments

Every author craves reviews for their books. We love to hear what our readers think. Sometimes the news is good, sometimes not, but we want to know. Bottom line is we all want to be loved by readers. Rumor has it, reviews even sell books.

I am looking for reviews for all of my works, short stories and novels. Here’s what I’m gonna do.

You can read any of my published works and when you post your review into the comments section of this Blog post, you will be entered to win one of three lovely prizes…or my version of lovely prizes.

Post your review by Midnight February 13, 2012 to qualify.

1 person will receive a $25.00 GC to Amazon.com.
1 person will receive a signed print copy of “Lost and Found.”
1 person will receive a FREE eBook download of any of my books.

Here’s the catch. I need to see at least 25 reviews to give away the Gift Certificate. If I don’t receive 25 reviews, I will only give away the 2nd and 3rd items.

I would love it if you would post your reviews all over the place, but it’s only required that you do it on my Blog for this contest. I can be flexible.

Here is what I have out there. You can find them at Amazon/Kindle, BN.com/Nook, Smashwords, OmniLit, and all manner of other places that sell books and eBooks.

Lost and Found (Novel)
Dark Shines My Love (Novel)
Too Fast for Love (Novella)
Seducing Cupid (Short Story)
Devlin’s Wicked Wish (Short Story)
An Angel’s Wish (Short Story)

Mystery & Suspense Reading Challenge 2012!

Posted on December 26, 2011 | 1 comment

Well, I’ve done it. I just signed up to do the Book Chick City Mystery & Suspense Reading Challenge 2012!

I read a ton of books each year and I always write reviews, so I might as well get them out to a wider audience.

During the year I will post my reviews on here as well as my other usual haunts. Reading mysteries? Why don’t you sign up with me?

Buy Now at Kindle!

Well, it is just past noon on Christmas Day and I’d like to say my Begging for Reviews contest was a 100% success, however… I will have to settle for saying it was a huge success.

Last week I offered to give away a Kindle Touch to one lucky winner if reviewers (of any level) posted 50 reviews onto the original Blog post. Here is what happened.

Free Book Sent – 55

Reviews Posted – 25

It’s not bad overall, I hoped for more, but this makes me very happy. On behalf of all the author reviewed, we sincerely thank you for your time and willingness to jump at my request. Your reviews have already began earning us sales and for that we will remain sincerely appreciate.

Now, about the Kindle Touch. I had kept in my mind that if at least 40 reviews were posted, I would go ahead and give away the Kindle. Unfortunately that did not happen. So in the spirit of Christmas, I have decided that I would go ahead and give away a $25.00 gift card to Amazon.com instead.

The winner was chosen by my husband who had no idea what the heck I was doing. He picked a number and that was that.

Congratulations to Jackie Vick. I will be sending her the gift certificate.

I hope in the future all of you will consider reviewing books (not just ours) on a regular basis. I can also tell you that I hope you will continue to read my Blog and Echelon books. You never know when I might have another contest, or what I might want to give away!!

May this day be filled with nothing but joy to all of you and those you love. Thank you again!!
