Fun Friday–It’s Time for Another Contest

Friday, April 10, 2009

Okay, everyone. . .it’s time for another contest. Why? Because I have two books coming out in July and I want to get not just signed books but other stuff into your hands.

Now, while the prizes won’t be quite as rich as last year’s 500th Blog Post contest, the prize packages will be similar: a signed copy of the book, a DVD, and a gift certificate to Amazon or B&N or Target—you’d get to choose between a Menu for Romance or a Ransome’s Honor prize package, something like this:

Menu for Romance Prize Pack:

Signed copy of Menu for Romance
A John Wayne DVD to be chosen from She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, The Quiet Man, and North to Alaska
$50 gift certificate to the retailer of choice, listed above ($25 for 2nd place, $15 for 3rd place)

Ransome’s Honor Prize Pack:

Signed copy of Ransome’s Honor
A Regency/Royal Navy DVD to be chosen from Persuasion (1995), Horatio Hornblower: Mutiny & Retribution, and Master & Commander
$50 gift certificate to the retailer of choice, listed above ($25 for 2nd place, $15 for 3rd place)

Now, I need suggestions for what the contest should be. So submit your suggestions, and I’ll announce the contest next Friday!

Great prizes, Kaye. For contests maybe a John Wayne trivia or Royal Navy trivia quiz? Though that might be too easy with the internet. Maybe you could put a time limit on it? (Can you tell I’m tired-been working on characterization of my protag for about 3 hours.)

How about a trivia contest on things or little known facts about your book signing tour?
Happy Easter and glad you made it home safely!

Many of your readers are writers as well. Why not another written submission contest? They’re always fun…
