Ringing In the New Year: GIVE-A-WAY
2010 has been a particularly great year for my family and myself.
- My husand and I celebrated our 20th anniversary
- My oldest went off to college
- I officially signed with my agent, Paige Wheeler
- I officially signed a two book deal with Kensington
- I turned in both said books on time to my editior, Alicia Condon
- My father recovered well from an illness
- I recovered well from an illness
And whenever I feel an abundance of good fortune, I have a tendancy to start giving things away.
There are 21 weekdays in January. I decided that would be the perfect number of gifts.
During the year of 2010, I've connected with many wonderful writers, some published, some pre-published. All have been incredibly supportive and have deeply enriched my writing life. I'd like to say thank you to them by sharing their work with others.
This January, I will give away 21 of those published authors books, starting Monday, January 3rd and continuing through Monday, January 31st, Monday-Friday.
The authors I've chosen have paperback books available (because not everyone is on the ereader wagon yet -- including me, unfortunately) and all are available through Amazon (because to do this I have to be able to drop ship, otherwise I'd be overwhelmed).
I will be offering the newest available releases from the following authors (in alphabetical order):
- Vivi Andrews (Jan. 3)
- Gail Barrett (Jan. 4)
- Jules Bennett (Jan. 5)
- Monica Burns (Jan. 6)
- Elizabeth Craig (Jan. 7)
- Lauren Dane (Jan. 10)
- Sylvia Day (special edition review 1/19)
- Cynthia Eden (Jan. 11)
- Addison Fox (Jan. 12)
- Larissa Ione (Jan. 13)
- Darynda Jones (Jan. 14)
- Kris Kennedy (Jan. 17)
- Alison Kent (Jan. 18)
- Margie Lawson (Jan. 20)
- Elisabeth Naughton (Jan. 21)
- Nicola Marsh (Jan. 24)
- Delilah Marvelle (Jan. 25)
- Kristina McMorris (Jan. 26)
- Christy Reece (Jan. 27)
- Juliana Stone (Jan. 28)
- Stephanie Tyler (Jan. 31)

Don't twitter or tweet (yes, there are still a few of us who believe phones are for calling folks, *g*) but still wish you and yours a wonderful, prosperous, and healthy 2011.
This is so very cool, Joan!!! What a fun project!

Would LOVE to win a book...My birthday is January 10th = would be a great gift :) *hint, hint*
Thanks, Kelly. Good luck!
Gwynlyn,
I know...I'm still bugging a few author friends to get on Twitter. I used to hate it, then tried it again about a year later and it just fit my communication style. Now it's my favorite way to chat. But I understand it's not for everyone.
Will add your name to the lists. :-)
Darynda,
Came to me on the spur of the moment. Seemed such a perfect way to charter in the new year...celebrating abundance and good fortune and all the special people in my writing life. :-) Glad one of them is you.
Okay, birthday, girl...you've got a whole month and lots of chances to win! :-) Happy Birthday in advance!!
It was a fabulous year. I hope 2011 will be even more fabulous!
Thanks for coming by, Edie! It's been a great year for you! Congrats on your success with Cattitude, The Seventh Dimension and Dead People! Continued wishes for wonderful things in 2011!
Happy new year, Joan! I hope 2011 tops your very successful 2010.
Cool contest!
This sounds like a great way to start the year.
Thanks,
Dana
