Smitten by Books

I intended today as an Hook Me: Excerpt Thursday day, but alas it is not. So I’m just going to do some odds and ends news.

First, I put up a new page on The Season website titled Marketplace. After receiving a request to include an additional bookseller link to purchase books (currently I have direct buy links for all the books on the site to Barnes & Noble, Borders, Amazon, Indie Bound, Powell’s and Books-a-Million) I decided to do one better and give online booksellers their own page.

Now, if you’re like me and buy lots of books, this is the perfect reference page for you as I’ve included a small note to let you know what the savings are for each bookseller. And again, if you’re like me and also buy ebooks, I have a slew of places where you can purchase your favourite authors in the various electronic format. I used to buy my ebooks in the digital .pdf format but after hearing that the iPad would be using the ePub format, I switched to that format as I have every intention of getting an iPad once the kinks from the initial version are worked out. If after checking out the page, you can think of another online bookseller that should be there, please contact me and let me know.

Time is winding down to enter to win a $25 Amazon Gift Certificate simply by answering a question about my debut, SINFUL SURRENDER. If you have the book, just flip to page 304, the answer is there. It’s that easy. Click here for entry details. March 5th is entry deadline.

Oh and good news on this front. SINFUL SURRENDER was voted Borders Book Club selection in Rockford, IL for the month of March. I was ecstatic when I heard. Thank you, ladies. I’m completely flattered and so happy you enjoyed the book. 😀

Good news. I’ve found another person to review books for the blog. YAY! Her name is Sherry M and she loves historical and contemporary romance. She’s been an avid reader for the past fifteen years and the best news is she lives down the street from me. I can literally walk the books over to her to review. How sweet is that? This will be her first crack at actually writing reviews but she has good and strong opinions. I’m hoping I can have a review from her next week. Welcome Sherry! (Now she has to start following my blog. LOL)

Did you know that on The Season website, if you click THE SEASON on the top of any page, it will take you to the front page.
