Anniversary Celebration at The Reading Cafe

The Reading Cafe blog is celebrating their anniversary, and I’ve donated a prize to the celebration.

These prize books will be autographed for the winner. Hop on over and check it out!

RWA National Conference

Yesterday, the virtual doors were flung open for registration for Romance Writers of America’s annual conference. This year, the RWA National conf will be in Atlanta, from July 17 to 20.

I’ve booked everything to go, so will be there!

There’s a booksigning at the conference to raise money for literacy programs, and that signing is open to the public. It will be on Wednesday July 17, beginning at 5:30 PM at the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta. More info about the signing is right here – I see that they’ll add a list of participating authors in May.

I hope to see some of you in Atlanta, either at the conference or the booksigning!

Newsletter on the Move

As I mentioned in my last newsletter, I’m in the midst of migrating my monthly newsletter from YahooGroups to Mailchimp. This service should make it easier for you to subscribe etc., and easier for me to make a pretty newsletter each month. The move is coming pretty well and on schedule. (Yay!) Plus I’m still getting my writing done, too. (Double YAY!)

I have the subscribers’ list imported, so everyone from the Chestwick list on Yahoo is already subscribed to the new list. If you get my newsletter now, you don’t have to do anything. (Except wait for the middle of the month and the next newsletter.)

BUT if you want to join my newsletter as a new subscriber – while I’m still working my way through the transition – you should do it right here.

Why wouldn’t you want to join? I’m going to add some free reads to the newsletter and some contests just for subscribers – you don’t want to miss out! There will be a mid-month newsletter this month, just in time for Thanksgiving. I’ll do one last announcement on the Chestwick list to let you subscribers know to look for the new one, just in case it drops into your spam filter. We’ll have everything resolved for December, which is a good good thing.

EMBER’S KISS Blog Tour Contest Winners

Well. Tropical Storm Sandy has made a mess of Manhattan, and I hope that everyone was sufficiently prepared that they are still okay. I did hear that my VA Carla had her house flooded last night. She was okay at that point, but obviously quite upset. Any good vibes you can send her way would be greatly appreciated.

In terms of logistics, I emailed with Carla yesterday and she had just received the info on the last winner for the prize books that Penguin planned to send out to winners. She was going to send it to Penguin today. Even if she sent it last night, I’m sure Penguin’s offices will closed for a while. I want the winners to get their books, so here’s how you can help.

If you are a blogger who hosted one of the stops on my blog tour and the prize book was coming from Penguin (those were the US-and-Canada-only contests), please send email the winner’s mailing information. I’ll send the books out from here, and get Penguin to ship me some more to make up the difference.

You can email that info to chestwick@sympatico.ca

Thanks for your help. Let’s send out many good thoughts and prayers to everyone in the disaster zone.
