We’ll Have Our Own Fun!

Can’t make it to RWA this year? Sulking like I am because we’re missing out on the fun? Want some autographed books?

Then here’s your chance to win some goodies! 🙂

At the booksigning I attended a couple weeks ago, I picked up a book or two by each author and had them autograph them with the idea that I would give away a huge basket filled with these books. Looking at all the books now, I’ve decided I’m going to break it down into two prize packages.

Box One will include, in no order:

HUNGERS OF THE HEART by Jenna Black
SEA WITCH by Virginia Kantra
SHIFTER by Angela Knight, Lora Leigh, Alyssa Day & Virginia Kantra
SCANDALOUS LORD, REBELLIOUS MISS by Deb Marlowe
HOT CITY NIGHTS by Sandra Marton, Sarah Mayberry & Emilie Rose
BEFORE THE STORM by Diane Chamberlain
NICHOLAS by Elizabeth Amber
RAINE by Elizabeth Amber

Box Two will include, in no order:

IN THE PRINCE’s BED by Sabrina Jeffries
THE COURTESAN’s DAUGHTER by Claudia Dain
THE COURTESAN’s SECRET by Claudia Dain
NEVER LIE TO A LADY by Liz Carlyle
NEVER DECEIVE A DUKE by Liz Carlyle
THE SECRET LIFE OF CEECEE WILKES by Diane Chamberlain
SHATTERED BY THE C.E.O. by Emilie Rose
BOUND BY THE KINCAID BABY by Emilie Rose

In addition to the books, there will be various bookmarks, pens, magnets thrown into the boxes too. Also, one of my handy dandy Bookcovers. I know the ladies who have already won one of them love them as much as I do. 🙂

What do you have to do to win one of my Prize boxes? Well, I usually keep it easy for you all but for this, with so many goodies being offered, I’ve got a little Scavenger Hunt for you all to do. No, no, no groaning, please. 😉 Remember, this is supposed to be FUN FUN FUN! No really, it IS! *G*

Just answer the following questions and send them to me by using the Book Entry Form. If you post the answers on the blog, your answers will not count and you will be disqualified from the contest.

Deadline to send in your answers is Saturday, August 2, 2008 at 10:00pm EST. That’s the same night the RITA and Golden Heart Award Ceremony will take place at RWA.

Late entries will not count so get those answers in early! 🙂

Winners will be announced Saturday, August 2, 2008 at 11:00pm EST.

Winners will have until Monday, August 4, 2008, to email me their addresses. Cut off time to send that in will be 11:59pm EST. After that, if I don’t have an address, I’ll pull another name.

Now that I’ve finished with the rules, here are the Scavenger Hunt questions. Good Luck and Happy Hunting!
