Today is the one year anniversary of the call that I'd won the Harlequin Presents Instant Seduction contest. Much has changed in the past year! Come on one over to I Heart Presents and see what I have to say about the journey. 🙂 (And get the inside scoop on the genesis of my second book.)
Leave me a comment here and I'll put you in for a drawing. Not sure what I'm giving away yet, but I promise it will be good! Perhaps I will let the winner choose…. $10 gift card to bookstore of choice? Scrumptious bath set? A trio of brand new Harlequin Presents? What would you like? (No, not a winning lottery ticket!) 😉
You have until Monday at midnight CDT to enter. 🙂
Breaking News: my RED-HOT cover is up over at IHP!!!! In celebration, I'll pick TWO winners instead of one. 🙂
I can’t believe it’s been a year. That time has flown for me, but what about for you?
Congratulations Lynn! you must be ecstatic. I also can’t believe how fast that’s gone!!
I’d love to win a copy of your debut book – signed of course 🙂 And I’m more than happy to wait until it’s released!
Rach!
Congratulations, Lynn. I can’t believe it’s been a year already! I’d love a signed copy of your debut book too (and like Rach don’t mind the wait!) or a trio of PResents 🙂 My full, requested through the IS contest has just been R’d. *sob* Actually, I’m surprisingly okay, as R’s go, it was a fab one with lots of wonderful editorial feedback and a comps slip for my next Presents submission 🙂
Sue Child
Oh, Sue, I’m sorry to hear that. ~sends chocolate your way~
Just wanted to say congratulations on getting the chance to become a Presents author…will be looking forward to your book…and wishing you much success on future books.
Hi, PM! Yes, the time has flown. Can’t believe it either!
Rachael, thank you!! I am ecstatic, and thanks so much for saying you’d like to win a copy of the book! I didn’t think of that because it is still a few months until I have them — but yes, I’ll put that on the table of prizes too! Anyone who doesn’t mind waiting can have that for a prize if they win. 🙂
Sue, hugs!!! (And thanks for wanting my book too if you win!) I know that R hurts, but if you got editorial feedback and a comps slip, you are on the RIGHT track! Hugs, hugs, hugs. Keep writing! (And yes, have some chocolate and a nice spa day, even if it’s just a good soak in the tub with bubble bath and a book.)
Good advice, PC!
EllenToo, thank you very much! It’s good to meet new people, so thank you for commenting! 🙂
Lynn,
I can’t wait for your book to come out. (very exciting) I plan on buying copies for family. I know a few who will really enjoy it. :0)
Carrie
Hi, Carrie! Thank you!! 🙂 I’ll be happy to sign those copies for you, if we see each other before you want to give them away. 🙂
Hi Lynn,
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year. I to entered IS contest and I’ve learned a lot since that time. I love, love your cover. The guy is too hot. I can’t wait to have a cover like that. Congrats on all your success with so much more to come.
Lynn,
Congrats on the awesome cover. That guy is to drool for. Even more exciting to me, though, is seeing your name so large in that lovely teal type. Beautiful!
Thanks for the hugs Problem Child and Lynn. Despite the diet, I’ve eaten chocolate and walked my dog along the Tarka Trail to work off the calories!!! The feedback and comps slip is really motivating (think carrot on a stick!) so I’m writing again 🙂 Although, not wanting to repeat my mistakes, I am secondguessing myself already.. Btw, I adore your cover…and might have to borrow the picture as hero inspiration 🙂
Sue Child
Post a comment, win a prize? I like it! Wait, it isn’t Nimitz, is it?
Continued congratulations! I was in a locally owned bookstore the other day (you’d love it) and they had a sign up about book signings. I asked what you have to do to get one, and they gave me a name and number for your people to call if you’re interested. It’d be wonderful to have you guys visit. 🙂
Great cover, Lynn. Your hero is seriously hot.
🙂
Hi, Patricia! Thank you. 🙂
Keli, I am thrilled! And I’m not sure if it’s because my name is spelled right or the guy. *g*
Sue, second guessing yourself is natural! I still do that, believe me. 🙂 Good luck!! Oh, and please borrow him if you want! He is indeed good inspiration. In fact, he’s helping me in the book I’m working on now. *g*
Hi, Mark! For you, it just might be Nimitz (who spends a LOT of time in time out lately). 😉 The bookstore sounds cool! I’m not sure I have people, LOL. But if we come out that way, it could be a good excuse to sign books!
Hi, Suzanne! Thank you! I think he’s hot too. I can’t believe how lucky I got with this first cover. 🙂
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve stopped by here! Can’t believe it’s been a yr already since you heard about winning the contest! Time sure flies. Congratulations again on your beautiful cover…Magnate will be out before you know it! 🙂
Hi, Cari! Thank you for stopping by! It’s impossible to believe it’s been a year, but it has. 🙂
