Guest Blogging...

...over at Borders blog. Chance to win prizes including $25.00 gift cert in honor of next month's new release... Chosen.

The League of Reluctant Wieners!

As I explained over at my own blog, I couldn't use the Contest Can to choose today's weiner, as I have NO IDEA WHERE IT IS. I know it's in a box in my office . . . and that's all.

So I had to use a randomizer to choose today's Lovely Wiener of my Tracking the Tempest Prize:

And the wiener is . . . . DAWN! Congratulations, Dawn! And thanks to everyone for the marvelous photos and comments. Both Jane and I appreciate them very much.

Dawn, you can email at iheartselkies(at)gmail(dot)com. I do warn you: I won't be sending out the prize right away, just because it's probably in the same box as the Contest Can. But once I've found it, I'll send it off right away, I promise!

Thanks again for everyone who played . . . I hope you enjoy more Jane!

RWA Signing

Hey All,

I will be attending the RWA conference for the first time this year. And I will appear at the "Readers for Life" Literacy Autographing. The a two-hour event, which includes 500 authors, raises thousands of dollars for ProLiteracy Worldwide.

This year, the mass signing takes place on Wednesday, July 28, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Walt Disney World® Dolphin Resort, Pacific Exhibit Hall, in Orlando, Florida. This event is open to the public; there is no admittance charge.

For a list of participating authors, see the RWA site.

Happy Official Release Day, Tracking the Tempest!

It's that time of year again, when selkie-halflings come out to play! Today's the official release day of Jane True, Book 2: Tracking the Tempest!

And because I love the League and everybody in it, I'm running you your own, special contest! Here's a picture of the prize pack:

Just like on the contest at my own website (which you can enter along with this one), this prize pack includes Things Jane Likes. This can be broken down (in no particular order) into: Swimming, home, food, sex, and reading.

Swimming: You get a postcard of the Old Sow, direct from Eastport.

Home: A pirate-themed magnet from Eastport, Maine.

Food: A cookbook from my favorite celebrity chef, Ina Garten

Sex: Saucy post-it notes, From Him and From Her

Reading: A 25$ gift card to Barnes and Noble

There’s also a little map of Boston, so you can follow Jane’s adventures in Tracking the Tempest.

All very fun, and all very Jane.

You can enter the contest in the following ways:

(x3 entries each for each book) To show my League Love: Show me proof you’ve bought any of my fellow Leaguers MOST RECENT RELEASES (email to iheartselkiesATgmailDOTcom a photo or screenshot of a receipt or a picture of the books at home).

I will choose a winner at random on Monday, July 26th at 12:00 Eastern time. Contest is international, cuz I love my non-American fans just as much.

To my established fans (all 13 of you ): thank you SO MUCH for your support and kind words. You guys make this writing gig worth it!

And to people new to this site: Thanks for coming by and I hope you like it here. Jane’s got lots of adventures to come, as do all my fellow authors. We hope you’ll come along for the ride!

Finally, to my fellow Leaguers: I honestly couldn't dream of having done this without you. I'd have lost my marbles months ago without you. For realz, yo.

HAPPY RELEASE DAY JANE AND COMPANY! *pops the bubbly*
