Smitten by Books

Today, I’m over on Farrah Rochon’s Blog, chatting about one of my favourite things–my total love of series. And I’m giving away a copy of Sinful Surrender. 😉 Stop by, meet Farrah (she’s fabulous), and say hi!

In other news, wouldn’t you love to plot a Regency novella without actually writing it? Well you can and win a $1000 American Gift Card while you’re at it. What’s going on?

Four stories, four authors, one theme: that was the idea behind the bestselling anthology It Happened One Night. Now, Stephanie Laurens, Mary Balogh, Jacquie D’Alessandro and Candice Hern return to write four stories ultimately chosen by readers, in IT HAPPENED ONE SEASON.

Interested? Please visit www.ItHappenedOneSeason.com to suggest your story.  It must take place during the Regency social season. And you must include three specific plot points (such as these used for the anthology It Happened One Night: (1) a couple meets at an inn 2) they had met before but not within the past ten years 3) the whole story takes place within a 24 hour period.)

About the Contest

Submit three specific plot elements and your ideas could create the theme of the four tales in the new anthology collection, IT HAPPENED ONE SEASON.

The authors choose the four finalists.

The readers vote on the ultimate favorite and one lucky winner will see their dream come true.

The grand prize winner will be acknowledged on the dedication page of IT HAPPENED ONE SEASON and receive a $1,000 American Express gift card and a copy signed by all 4 authors. Semi-finalists will receive $100 American Express gift cards and a set of personalized autographed books.
