Lifeway Fiction Community

Have you checked out Lifeway's Fiction Community? Heading it up is Rachel McRae. She's the fiction book buyer for all Lifeway stores. Which means, she's the one in charge of deciding which fiction novels you will find on the shelf of your local store!

In her blog, she interviews authors, does giveaways, and let's you know what's coming to the stores before it even gets there. She also lists all events happening in all Lifeway stores. That way, you can find out if something special is going down at your location with only a click of a button. So ... check it out. I know you'll love it ... and her!

If you're on facebook, you can join the other 26,000,000 folks who follow them at the Lifeway Christian Stores fan page. I know I do. I'll see you there!

New Facebook Launch

I've launched a brand new facebook page this week. It is much more interactive than my old one. On your first visit, you will have the opportunity to save me from an oncoming train.  Then you'll have an opportunity to find out what your name would be if you were in a romance novel.  Mine was "Daisy Mae." Perfect for me! :)

Every Wednesday is going to be "Wishing Wednesday" and you will be able to wish for something unique. This Wednesday, you'll get to decide which hero you would choose to star in your romance novel. Next week, you'll be able to choose the heroine. We will continue with something new to chose from each Wednesday. Then in January, we'll start all over again.

We also have direct links to the most recently discussed topics in our Chat Room.  And, of course, we have some fun videos. 

Soon we will be launching contests on facebook where you will be able to win The Trouble with Brides--my new three-in-one book which includes A Bride Most Begrudging, Courting Trouble, and Deep in the Heart of Trouble all in one volume.

So, if you haven't stopped by to see my new facebook page, now's a good time to check it out.  If you've already been by, leave a comment and let us know what you thought.  Meanwhile,  I'll see you there!

Get Free Books

RomCon (Romance Convention for Readers) needs judges to read up to 5 books for the 2011 Readers' Crown Contest! If you sign up to judge, they'll send you the books--which you get to keep for free!

You can indicate what categories and levels of adult content you are interested in reading--everything from "none" to "blood thirsty." (Beguiled is entered in the "sweet" category; Maid to Match is entered in the "mild" category.) There is no charge to judges.  And judges keep all books sent to them (unless, for whatever reason, they are not able judge one or more entries in their panels). 

Scores sheets are quick and easy to fill out. They consist of a basic ranking system and up to 20 questions. 

They're assembling judging panels and distributing books now! (between November and February).  All scores must be submitted by March 31, 2011.

If you'd like to participate, sign up here. A Bride in the Bargain was a finalist last year and I'll be attending RomCon again in 2011. It will be in Denver, August 5-7. Would love to see you there!
