I’ll be participating in a chat on Monday, August 15th. It’s called “Mind Over Matter” and will be at http://www.writerspace.com/chat at 8pm EST / 7pm CST. There might be a giveaway, but I’m not sure how these things work.
I do know, however, that there is a giveaway of signed ARCs (Advanced Reading Copies) of A Taste of Crimson at the Dorchester website (they’re still in the living room, waiting to be signed, but yes! They will get done). To see the details for yourselves, follow the link and then scroll to the very bottom of the page and look right. Otherwise: Enter to win an autographed advanced reading copy of Marjorie Liu’s A TASTE OF CRIMSON plus one free mystery romance! Six winners will be chosen. To enter, send an e-mail to dorchester@dorchesterbooks.com with the word Contest in the Subject line and your name and address in the body of the e-mail.
Indeed, there is yet another giveaway at Revision 14, which is celebrating its 1-year anniversary August 23-August 28 with a BUNDLE O’ BOOKS giveaway bonanza! Free books, signed by the authors, will be given away every day! It’s free and easy to enter. Just log onto www.revision14.com, and click on the Contest Sign-Up link under FEATURES. And to increase your chances of winning, just post a comment to any or all of the articles featured Tuesday through Saturday of that week. Nearly 20 signed books will be given away over 5 days. Enter, and you could be a lucky winner! Yay!
I’ll also be posting pictures of my Scotland trip soon. They’re not that exciting, so don’t get your hopes up. There are, however, some pictures from the RWA conference in Reno on the Dorchester website. There are several different links you have to follow, but here’s the main one.
And don’t forget that I’m still giving out bookmarks and magnets! if you want some, email me at marjoriemliu@gowebway.com for information on where to send your SASE.
Finally, to round this out, the best headline of the day: Couple celebrates 81st wedding anniversary!
A French couple who celebrated their 81st wedding anniversary Friday offered this advice on love and longevity: Keep arguments to a minimum, eat well and wash it down with a glass of wine.
Sounds good to me.
