This time I'm teaming up with fellow Harlequin American author Victoria Chancellor to give away an extra-special prize basket to one lucky reader. Here's what you can win:
To Enter: Go to my contest page for details. It's as easy as sending an e-mail. Deadline is August 5, 2008. Good luck! Still Time to Enter the Memo-Pause Contest
Here are just two of the many styles available.
The Harlequin American authors give away a number of books, and sometimes other prizes, every month on their blog. Entering is as easy as visiting the blog and making a comment on any day. (I blog on the 11th and 29th of every month.) Deadline the last day of every month.
I'm honored to be giving a workshop at the Romance Writers of America National Conference in San Francisco. The workshop title is A PLACE TO HANG YOUR SCENES: Three-Act Structure for Novelists. The date is Saturday, Aug. 2, 2008. If you're planning to attend the conference, I would love to see you. 3. MY WRITING ...
Currently I'm working on some minor revisions for THE GOOD FATHER, the third book in the SECOND SONS trilogy. It's scheduled for April 2009. When I'm done with that, it's back to one final polish on the serial killer book, which I've been revising for what seems like years! But I'm actually hoping to send it in soon to two editors who have requested it. 4. FINAL THOUGHTSThe Fourth of July is fast approaching. In the U.S., that means picnics and fireworks with family and friends to celebrate America's independence. But just how independent are we? Increasingly we're dealing with global issues and a global economy. For some, the Fourth stands for freedom from tyranny, and I'm all over that. But why don't we put as much energy into celebrating the things we (we Earthlings) have in common, rather than our distinctions, our "independence"? So on this uniquely American holiday, by all means celebrate. But every day, celebrate this amazing planet we live on with its richly diverse and fascinating inhabitants.
Thanks for reading! I love to hear from my readers, and I answer each and every e-mail I receive. You can click here to e-mail me. All my best,
