Just A Little Note About Next Week...

Happy Friday Everyone,


Today is not the beginning of the contest (contest starts MONDAY, January 31, 2011--the last day will be on Friday, February 4, 2011 ), but I wanted to explain how the contest will be run.


Okay, as I’ve been doing all week…I’m going to reveal another/more hint(s) about next week’s contest.


First of all, the title of the contest is: Write By Bethany’s 25+ Followers Celebration.


Second of all, each day is going to have a theme.


Third of all, unless I get a late donor, not every day will have a prize--which means you have to check back each day not only to see if there IS a prize, but to find out what it is and who’s donating it.  ***CORRECTION:  When I originally wrote this, I did NOT have a prize for each day of the contest, but that changed and I just never got around to fixing this until now (edited on 02/05/2011 12:25 a.m.).


The contest will be run this way:


Each day I will request that those entering do the following:


First: I’ll ask for your first name (but please, please, please check the comments and make sure there’s not someone else with the same first name…if there is you can either use a nickname, or put your first name with your middle or last initial).


Second: I’ll need your email address. Without it I have NO way of contacting you to tell you how to claim your prize. So you MUST put in your email address with your comment if you want to enter that day’s drawing (any comment I receive that does NOT have an email address for the person commenting will be disqualified--I'd hate to disqualify anyone, so please be sure to do this each day I announce a drawing).


Then I’ll ask a for a fun comment. For instance, say the theme of the day has something to do with cats (none of the themes have anything to do with cats, so this is just an example). I would say something like:  For Fun: Tell me something funny about cats. Or what do you like about cats?


By the way, I’m only putting each name in ONE time for the drawing, so even if you comment more than once--you’re just entered one time.


Be sure to check the post for each day for theme, information on how to enter, and what the prize is (if there’s a prize). Can’t wait to see everyone’s comments next week!


If you have any questions please either email me or write them in the comment section. I'll be checking back here throughout the weekend as my "real world" obligations allow, so I'll be sure to answer any questions/comments.


Have A Fabulous Friday!

Hi Bethany! I am so happy your blog is doing well. This contest is a splendid idea and a wonderful way to interact with your readers.

By the way, the blog looks beautiful - I really love your soft background.

I'm sorry I've been MIA . . . Chris and I moved from a suburb of Phoenix to Scottsdale and we are unpacking, cleaning furniture, and taking care of all that annoying moving business. We'll talk later!

Take care,

Bernie :)

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me:  In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta:  I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me:  You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...

It's Worth A Fortune

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Christie Craig

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Sorry about the delay in getting Christie Craig's email interview up. Normally I can just copy and paste interviews from my email into my blog, but this time my blog would NOT let me paste the interview! So everything has to be done manually, which takes longer. Anyway, let me introduce you to Christie Craig: I met her through the NWHRWA , which we're both members of. She's a real sweetheart. Funny, fun, and makes you feel comfortable (you don't feel shy or uncomfortable because she has a very hospitable presence about her). She's also very helpful, offers great advice and encouragement (I know this from experience, she's been very encouraging to me). Christie is a multi-published author of both fiction and nonfiction. Her works include things like Divorced, Desperate & Delicious and her up-coming non-fiction (with elements of fiction) work, Wild, Wicked And Wanton: 101 Ways To Love Like You're In A Romance Novel ...due out this ...
