Get ready to party... Date: Tuesday, December 16th Join Brenda for a fun-filled evening featuring chat opportunities with agents, editors, authors, booksellers, librarians and readers! There will be door prizes and drawings --one for a fabulous rum cake, another for a brand new Amazon Kindle, and more! And every person who attends will receive a special Christmas present from Brenda. Even better news--it won't cost you a penny in gas and you can come in your pajamas. Take a break from the madness of shopping and decorating and share a glass of egg nog with Brenda Novak, Susan Mallery, Karen Rose, Christine Feehan, Roxanne St. Clair, Dianna Love and more! Keep an eye out for next month's newsletters to see more party goers.
Don't forget to put my 5th Annual On-line Auction for Diabetes Research on your calendar. As usual, it begins May 1 and runs through May 31st. We've already gathered 300 items to put on the block and expect to have over 2,000! I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my fabulous category captains who are out there trying to help me build the auction into a charity event even bigger and better than last year. Meet one of them:
As a prosecutor with over ten years experience in the criminal justice system, Virna De Paul writes realistic and compelling suspense, but always places the most focus on an engaging love story and happy ending. In particular, she likes to create passionate stories about people who are neither all good nor all bad, but ultimately make the right choices. Her first romantic suspense manuscript, Trial By Fire, placed second in the Smokey Mountain Laurie’s single title category. Virna is currently looking for an agent. www.virnadepaul.com. You can also visit Virna at her sites designed with a lighter purpose in mind. Chasing Heroes is an informative site/blog on one of a romance writer’s favorite topics—Heroes. It is run by Virna and two other incredible writers, Lee Lopez and Misa Ramirez. http://chasingheroes.com. Virna and Misa also offer fun shirts for writers readers and other creative people at www.writees.com. Look at the one she created for my auction:  Finally, check out ForWriterGirls (coming soon), a community site for today's hippest female authors to collectively market and share the unique ways they promote their books. Visit the 2009 Auction Spotlight today to see some of the great items Virna has already collected. Autographed Books Want an autographed set of the first three Last Stand books? (Makes a great Christmas gift for any reader.) You can buy autographed copies of TRUST ME, STOP ME, and WATCH ME at my local bookseller, Book Lovers.
WATCH ME (Book 3)
Until next time, Brenda Novak |
