May is Finally Here, and with it...
How does an author celebrate the release of her first book? By giving away a free copy—or in this case, a free subscription to the first season. I’m holding a Mother’s Day contest, so tell your friends about it. Anyone who is a member of my Yahoo group is eligible to win a free subscription to the first season of Rock Bound! The drawing will be held on Mother’s Day and the winner will be notified via e-mail. To join my group, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/riw_author/.
I’m also giving away signed bookmarks. Just go to my webpage, http://www.rochelleweber.com and click on the “Contact” button, to send me a confidential e-mail with your address so that I can send you a bookmark via snail mail.
And, anyone who participates in one of our Inara Press on-line promotional events will be eligible to win reader’s points that can be used toward the purchase of any Inara Seron Serial. We’ll be giving away a total of 50 points each day, and 100 points earns you a free season of any Seron Serial. Also, you’ll be able to play games and win prizes from some of our other Inara authors. I suspect Nita Wick will be giving away more faerie dust!
Finally, those of you who are sci-fi fen will have at least three opportunities to meet me this year, one of them this month! I’ve been asked to speak on panels at three sci-fi cons! And to think last year I was just another fan. I’ll be at MARCon in Columbus, Ohio over Memorial Day and at DukCon the 9th through 12th of June. I look forward to seeing you there, and at ConClave in Detroit in October. I’ll be signing bookmarks and giving away a few goodies at the cons, as well.
May 11-12, Love Romances Café will host the authors of Inara Press for a two-day chat. We’ll be posting excerpts, answering questions and holding quizzes and give-aways. Love Romances Café is a moderated Yahoo group. You must be over 18 to join the group so sign up now at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LoveRomancesCafe.
May 22-26, Inara Readers’ Forum. We at Inara Press have one priorityto publish the best books on the internet. Our authors are the best writers around and they’re also a great group of ladies and we can’t forget our token male. You never know what we’ll come up with. Last month during our chat at the Suite Café we invented a drink, which several of my colleagues plan to whip up at the Romance Writers of America conference in Atlanta in July.
