We're Back and Live from Lucy's Desk

As many of you know, my own health and that of my mother (who we lost in April) forced me to take a sabbatical from my blog.  It was necessary, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the unique kind of interaction and discussions we had here.

So, we're back!  I say we, because running the blog contest, making sure excerpts go up and coordinating guest bloggers is falling on the very capable shoulders of my new Promo Gal...Carolyn.  Friends since we were too young to attend school, Carolyn is very dear to me.  And I am dear to her and that is how she ended up agreeing to coordinate my promotion.  Because she cares about me and my books, and I'm sure you'll see that in the way she keeps things current.

Andre, (many of you knew him as Promo Guy), has finished school and is ready to move on to pursue his own dreams.  I'm so very happy for him, but honestly no less pleased for myself as Carolyn joining the Lucy Monroe team is such a huge blessing to me. :)

Carolyn & Lucy at DQ's Rehearsal Dinner To celebrate the return to Blogger Land for me, we are running a book-a-day giveaway for the entire month of August.  Winners will be drawn from the comments all week long (Sunday through Friday) and announced on each Saturday.    We'll actually be giving away two books to each winner, one by me and one by another fabulous romance author.  Like today, I'll post a discussion/chatty blog on Mondays.  Each Tuesday, the list of prizes will be listed.  Wednesdays we'll have our Hump Day Hotties (some chosen by me, some by Carolyn) and Thurs & Fridays are for excerpts, guest bloggers and other fun stuff like that.

So, yeah...it's a party and kind of overdue and I'm going to enjoy it thoroughly.   So, here's hoping you all will too!

Hugs and happy reading,
Lucy
