Hi everyone! I must start this post by saying I AM NOT A BLOGGER. Hehehehe. That said, I decided I must put up a blog for THE SEASON’s website. Other authors might have much more to say than I.
Well, it’s October, my favourite month, autumn my favourite season of the year, therefore, THE SEASON needs to do something extra special for readers. So for the week of Halloween, October 26 – 30, we’ll be spotlighting historical debut authors of 2009 and doing a 2009 Debut Giveaway. I know for sure Zebra’s entire debut line will be up for grabs as well as Avon’s. I see you clapping and cheering. Yep, what a better way to be able to try out a new author than by getting their book for free. If Harlequin taught me nothing (and their books have taught me plenty, mind you) is that sampling for free is the way to go. Authors, if your book debuted this year and you’d like to join in, please email me.
Also, this month I’m accepting entries for THE SEASON’s annual Best Historical Cover Contest. So authors, if you think your cover is a winner, send me the image at historicals@historicalromancereleases.com. The deadline for entries is Oct 22nd. Preliminary voting will go on from November 2nd – 13th. Final voting will occur November 30th – December 13th. I’m already seeing some gorgeous covers, so I know it will be hard to narrow it down to just one.
In December there will be a Christmas Giveaway (how could there not be, seriously). And in November I’ll be adding a Pinch of Paranormal to the mix. Four books for every month will hopefully whet your appetite for anything and everything not of this world.
I think that about wraps up the first post. All and any suggestions for the site are welcome by moi. Feel free to let me know what’s working for you and what’s not.
Hi Bev! What a great site you’ve produced! A wonderful way to connect authors and readers. Thanks so much and can’t wait to read the posts!
Thanks Lor. 🙂
I just discovered this blog. I’m going to go check out the forum next.
Hi Jane,
Thanks for stopping by. The forum is up but it still has a couple of issues playing nice with Safari and Chrome. Hopefully, I’ll find the fix for it soon. 🙂
Hi,
Just discovered the blog & forum today. I just finished signing up as a member of the forum. Can’t wait to make my first post there to see if all is OK! LOL
I absolutely love what you are doing with The Season. I only just found that website a few months ago and I have already won a couple of books. If there is anything I love better than books, it is FREE BOOKS! Keep ’em comin’ ladies! Looking forward to the reviews, contests and giveaways coming up for the rest of the year.
You always manage to have some of the best books up for grabs! I am looking forward to the contests and many of the books that will be in it.
Beverly, you’ve done a great job creating this website — I love it and I just joined your forum. I’m a book junkie and I love the chace to win books.
Hi Beverly,
This is such a beautiful site. Love historicals!
Maggie
For being “not a blogger” you have a very respectable number of posts up, Bev!
Have you thought about having guest authors? I bet you’d find lots of historical authors who’d love to do a post or interview for you. (Self included!)
I’m totally all for that. 🙂 I already put a call out for guest bloggers on the forum.
Hi Beverly,
Love this site. You have some wonderful books to give away!
Maggie
