Happy Monday All, Last week Robin Badillo put out the 3rd novel in her Blood Hunter (adult*) Paranormal Romance series, The Return available from Extasy Books . * I put this there as a reference to a post I posted last Friday about genre age groups. This Thursday I'm having an (adult Romance) author interview and a giveaway, so be sure to come back on Thursday, July 21, 2011. I'm on an Oreo kick again...the Reduced Fat ones actually taste like the regular (even though the fat is a little lower). Currently I'm reading Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini (a YA fantasy/paranormal novel--that has Greek Mythology mixed in it). Just released this year from HarperTeen. Pretty good so far. What are you reading? Have A Mythical Magical Monday! So what are you reading now? 

Hello Everyone, Fabulously Fine Friday's Winner , was Victor. Congratulations to Victor! Not only did I draw his name out of the box (no, I didn't look, all the papers were all folded the same way and pretty much all the same size, and I just reached in, without looking, and pulled out a name), but Victor also had a really funny and imaginative comment about what he would do as a dragon. I talked with MaryJanice Davidson's assistant and so she's gonna put everything together to send Victor the copy of the audio of MaryJanice Davidson's Me, Myself & Why . I want to give a very special thank you to my wonderful and generous donors, who are also fabulous authors. Without them, this contest wouldn't have been possible. So thank you goes to: Laura Childs Ciara Gold Will Simon Christie Craig MaryJanice Davidson All of them were wonderful to interview and incredibly generous with their donations and time. I want to thank all of you who entered eac...

THIS CONTEST IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED! Happy Friday All, Today marks the last day of the Write By Bethany 25+ Followers Celebration week. I'm grateful to everyone who donated a prize, participated, passed the word along--y'all rock! Yesterday's winner was Sarah. So congratulations to Sarah! You'll be receiving your swag from Christie as soon as she can send it. Hope you enjoy your prize and thank you to everyone who participated. Hope y'all are ready for today because we have a wonderful prize for you all, donated by the very talented MaryJanice Davidson. I interviewed MaryJanice and Anthony Alongi in July of 2010 . (Hey, did anyone catch on that all the prizes have been donated by a published author I interviewed last year? That was on purpose). The prize is an audio book of MaryJanice's novel, Me, Myself & Why that was published last year. So here's how today will be run: FIRST:   Of course, give me your first name (or nickname). SECOND:...

Happy Thursday All, Congratulations to yesterday's winner, Debbie! Due to problems I didn't know existed, that I'm looking into, if you have trouble posting your entry in the comment section, please send me an email and let me know that's going on. Anyway, Debbie, you will be receiving your copy of Murder By Magic from Will as soon as he can send you a copy. Hope you enjoy it and thank you! Thank you everyone for your comments yesterday! Today's prize is delicious (but I don't mean in terms of something to eat). I mean, it's fun and it's donated by Christie Craig (under the name C.C. Hunter ). For a little trivia: Some of you might remember the interview I did with Christie in June of 2010.   The prize has to do with her new YA novel, Born At Midnight coming out in March. Here's a picture she gave me of this swag (prize): Pretty awesome, huh? Anyway here's how today will be run: FIRST:   As all the other days, give me your fi...

Happy Wednesday All, So far I've had a prize to give away every day this week...however, you never know what prize that will be, so I hope everyone is coming back each day to see what it is. Congratulations goes to Susan for winning yesterday's prize! You'll be receiving your PDF copy of Ciara Gold's The Keeper Of Moon Haven soon. Thank you to everyone who participated/commented in yesterday's Tantalizingly Tempting Tuesday of Write By Bethany's 25+ Followers Celebration. Let's see if we can kick it up a notch today... As always, please be sure to read the entire post, thanks! Today, I'm pleased to announce the prize is donated by Will Simon, whom I interviewed in October of 2010 . Will is kindly donating a copy of Murder By Magic , in which he has a short story. I've read it and it's a really good story about a couple that solve mysteries using their paranormal gifts. So here's how today will be run... FIRST: As usual, gi...

Happy Tuesday All, So far the Write By Bethany's 25+ Followers Celebration is off to a great start! Yesterday went really well, so let's keep it going, shall we? Just like yesterday, be sure to read the whole post! Yesterday's winner was Kathy. Congratulations! You'll be receiving your copy of Laura Childs' Scones & Bones as soon as Laura can send a copy. Enjoy and thank you for participating. Thank you, also, to everyone who participated yesterday. If you didn't win, I have good news! You have a chance to win a different prize today! A little bit of trivia about today:  Originally it was going to be called Tip Top Tuesday--but in light of today's drawing, I wanted something a little bit more intriguing... Why? you ask... Well here's how today is going to be run... Today's prize is donated, courtesy of author, Ciara Gold, whom I interviewed in November of 2010. She has graciously agreed to giveaway a copy (in PDF file format) ...
