What's Happening in My World

This week has started off super. One of my favorite things to do is enter contests for book giveaways. Now, I'm not usually a lucky person. I seldom win anything. Recently, however, I've been on a streak and have won some amazing books. I won't list all of them, but hope to write reviews later, when I find a couple more hours to add to each day. I will mention the latest, however. Three authors with books just out or coming out had a Valentine's Day Contest. You had to finish the poem "Roses are red..." and post on their blogs. So many people entered I thought I had little chance of winning. But it was fun, so I did. Around noon today, I decided to see who won. AND MY NAME WAS LISTED. Woo hoo! Surprise. I also win handmade Valentines by the authors. How cool is that. No covers to show you, but here are the titles I'll be reading shortly:

The Espressologist by Kristina Springer
Stupid Cupid by Rhonda Stapleton
A Match Made in High School by Kristin Walker

Thanks to the authors for their books. Just from the titles, I know I'll enjoy them.
Yay for contests.

The next thing on my agenda is new contracts. I've had a bit of luck (paired with lots of hard work and hair pulling out) and now have signed three contracts for future books.

September 2009: Frankie's Perfect Home, PB, Guardian Angel Publishing
October 2009: Scattered to the Winds, MG historical, Twilight Times Books
February 2010: Life on Hold, YA contemporary, 4 RV Publishing LLC

That should keep me busy for a while.

Happy Reading and Writing, Everyone
