Well, not just because. I've been meaning to have a contest for a while because, well, that's what you do to celebrate the release of a book. Or if you have a blog anniversary or if you hit 300 followers on Twitter (like I just did!) or if you just want to give away a free copy of a book you actually you know, like, wrote for absolutely no reason at all.
So, in honour of all those things and just because I think it'll be fun and just because I've never had a contest before and just because I'd like to share ILLEGALLY BLONDE with someone who might want to read it and just because it's been a hoot having a blog and being on Twitter and meeting so many fabulous people here's my first contest: If anyone would like a copy of ILLEGALLY BLONDE just leave a comment on the blog here before next Tuesday morning (that's June 15th)one of my kids will pick the name out of a hat and we'll ship a copy off to you pronto.
Thanks for playing and thanks for visiting!
Yay!! I'd love to help you celebrate!
ReplyDeleteTotally! Congrats on followers and published books!
ReplyDeleteSince I'm actually really psyched about being lucky number 300, please tell your kids that I get even MORE excited about winning stuff. Especially really cool stuff like books. :)
ReplyDeleteLisa and Laura: Wow, I wish I could give each of you a copy! But that would be totally cheating - and honestly? I love the suspense. Plus my little boy would be totally bummed at not being able to pick a winner.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Elizabeth? You may just be my own good luck charm - I am extremely superstitious about numbers and 300 is a VERY good number!
Yay for a first contest! =)
ReplyDeleteOh, pick me! Pick me!
ReplyDelete(Ahem. Sorry. Was that undignified?)
I totally am the girl from legally blonde!
ReplyDeleteNelsa, congratulations for the publication of Illegally Blonde! How does it feel? :)
ReplyDeleteHi Anne! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAnd Linda? We don't do dignified around here so go for it, baby (and picking is out of my hands and in my sons so you'll have to convince him! :)
Hi feelingfiction: Now I'm intrigued - I may have to tap you for the book trailer as my Lucy! ;)
Hi Nathalie: It feels great - and thanks for dropping by! Good luck!
So fun! I'm excited about your book and 'seeing' your journey on the Blueboards. I really, really can't wait to read your book!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm excited to help you celebrate AND to have a chance to win your book. :-)
ReplyDeleteI ABSOLUTELY want to read this! Congratulations on your success. I'm sure it must be both exciting and anxiety-filled at once to see your name on a book cover.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the ride!
I'm always looking for the next book to read and JUST BECAUSE! Congrats on 300; still working at attaining my first 100.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you for all the accomplishments mentioned above! I look forward to learning more about you (hence the new follower):)
ReplyDeleteHi Christina! Yay for Blueboarders! Thanks for joining in the fun - good luck!
ReplyDeleteHey, Anna: Thanks for always being so supportive from day one on the blog here! (and especially when I STILL haven't upgraded my browser so I can view the comments on your blog!)
Hi Patty! Another Twitter person I've been so happy to meet. And yes, I'm a constant mess of anxiety and excitement since IB came out!
Hi Cheryl! Good on you for starting and I'm sure you'll find the whole writing, blogging, twitter journey as strange and fun-filled as I have! Good luck on the next several hundred people you will meet!
Hi Tory: Thanks so much for dropping by and following! Followed ya' right back!
Not one of the 28 libraries in our federated system has a copy, so choose me! Choose me! (but in the meantime, I'll put it on the list to ask the librarian to order).
ReplyDeleteHi AnneB: IB is slowly getting into libraries here in Canada (provinces out west has it but my own home province is still behind! Argh. Must get on that!) I so appreciate you asking to put it on the list there for order! Good luck - my son Dylan will have a lot of pressure on Monday night picking out a name. I wish I could send one to all you wonderful people!
ReplyDeleteSo, I have to convince your son? Uh, does he take bribes? ;)
ReplyDeleteomg How did I not notice this contest last week! DEf. enter me.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! The book sounds great!
ReplyDeleteOOOOH, pick me! Pick ME! I so want an autographed copy of Illegally Blonde! Off to RT this (does that get me any bonus points?)
ReplyDeleteUh, Nelsa, I'd feel a lot better about this if Hudson drew the name. If you do that I'm certain I'll win. Dogs love me.
ReplyDeleteCynthia: The best I can do is say my son is very, very fair. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteeeeschen: Thanks for stopping by and much Good Luck to you!
mtgoldeneagle: Um, sorry, but Hudson would likely eat the paper and I wouldn't be able to have a winner at all! But my son is a fine substitute! Good luck.
And so, with that the contest is closed (boy has to get to bed so must pull out the name now). Check back tomorrow for the winner!
