The good people at The Reading Cafe are launching a spotlight on Dragonfire and the Dragon Diaries. Yippee! It all kicks off today with my bio etc., continues with reviews (starting tomorrow) and culminates in an interview with me.
So, hop on over and visit the Reading Cafe! Here’s the link to today’s post.
Thanks to the Reading Cafe for the spotlight!
And so the day many of you have been waiting for – contests return to Alive & Knitting! Contests are fun and I miss them. Soooo, every month we’ll have a contest here on the blog. It will post on the 15th of the month and you’ll have until the 20th to enter. You’ll enter by posting a comment. Easy peasy.
This month, since we’re all anxiously awaiting the release of THE RENEGADE’S HEART, the prize is a signed copy of new trade paperback edition of THE BEAUTY BRIDE. THE BEAUTY BRIDE is the first book in the Jewels of Kinfairlie trilogy. THE RENEGADE’S HEART is the first book in the True Love Brides series, which continues the story of the Lammergeier siblings after the Jewels of Kinfairlie. So, you can meet Madeline and Rhys, and also get acquainted with the rest of the family.
To enter, post a comment here. Tell me why you love historical romances.
I received some incredible news this weekend. I won the RWA PRO Mentor of the year award! This is a pretty amazing thing, and I’m quite overwhelmed by it all. Here’s part of the notification letter from Maura Troy:
“…I am pleased to tell you that, based on a wonderful nomination letter received from Kim Chin-Sam, you have been selected as the recipient of this year’s award. Congratulations!
As evidenced by the letter, your dedication and assistance to PROs, both in your own chapter and beyond, is exactly the sort of networking and camaraderie that makes RWA such a wonderful organization. We are delighted to present you with this award as a token of recognition and thanks for all of those you have helped along the way…”
Kim Chin-Sam, who nominated me, is a fellow member of Toronto Romance Writers. Her letter of commendation was attached and made me blush.
The award will be presented at the RWA National conference in Anaheim in July, at the PRO Retreat. Unfortunately, I’m not attending National this year, so will have a friend accept the award for me.
Many thanks to Kim and to everyone else who made this happen. I am very honoured. 
Because there were more than 25 entries, we have TWO winners of a signed copy of BTT.
And the winners are…..
::drumroll please::
• Heidi Price
• Laurie Hall
Both of you please check your email for a message from Chestwick so we can get the mailing details sorted out. CONGRATS and thanks to all who entered.
This morning, I received copies of Zoë’s third book, BLAZING THE TRAIL, which comes out in June. You can read about this third book in the Dragon Diaries trilogy right here. The finished book looks great!
So, of course, I thought we should have a contest. Add a comment to this post, telling me why you want to read BLAZING THE TRAIL as soon as possible. I’ll pick a winner on Monday. Don’t forget to make sure you leave a valid email address – only I will be able to see it.
Good luck!
