This, that and the other thing again
January 28, 2008
From author Gemma Halliday a Virtual Valentine for charity:
In conjunction with the release of the Dreams & Desires Vol. 2 anthology (available 
February 1st!!), I'm bringing you some of the hottest hunks around. And, if you bid well, one of them could be your virtual Valentine!
All proceeds from the auction will go directly to benefit victims of domestic violence, so please help support an amazing cause while winning yourself a handsome hunk!
The Prize:
Each bachelor has put together a prize pack of personalized items to send to the winner, plus, if you win the auction, you will be invited to an exclusive online Valentine’s chat party, February 16th (Sat) at 1pm PST/3pm EST, where your bachelor will accompany you as your virtual date!
From Leah Hutenschmidit at Dorchester Publishing:
Mr. Romance 2008 Cover Model Competition
Sponsored by Dorchester Publishing
Saturday, April 19, 2008 (Romantic Times Booklovers Convention)
5 - 7pm
A dozen gorgeous men will compete in Pittsburgh for the 2008 Mr. Romance title. They will be judged on personality, romance IQ and charm. Readers will meet the handsome contestants at parties, costume balls and in Club RT throughout the convention.
The winners will be selected by a panel of judges consisting of Dorchester staff and readers. The grand prize is trip to New York to do a photo shoot and to appear on the cover of a Dorchester romance. (Pictured is last year's winner, Jason Santiago)
The scary part of this announcement is that Dorchester has asked moi to be a judge. I'm sure I'll be hearing from my sons soon ("Mom and male models should not be in the same sentence...ever." ~ Andrew).
From author Rowena Cherry:
Nine Love Spell authors--including Rowena Cherry, Nina Bangs, Susan Grant, Colby Hodge, Jade Lee, Deborah Macgillivray, Joy Nash, Robin T. Popp, and Catherine Spangler, have put together a sampler of first chapters you can download for FREE.
Remember, if you have any news, info, kudos to offer, please email me with the details.
And starting this Friday, I will be blogging all weekend from the Love Is Murder conference in Chicago.
As promised, every Monday I'll team up with author and WW leader
Gerri Russell with tips for a healthier new year. All those commenting will be entered in a monthly drawing for a Subway gift certificate. Here Gerri's advice on exercise:
-Park out farther when at the mall or grocery store.
-Take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator.
-Do some kind of activity during the commericals of your favorite TV show.
-Think of ways to make activity fun like sledding, skating, skiing, biking or just walking around a park.
-Use a pedometer to make walking more interesting by trying to add more steps daily.
My tip is to check out the
Hungry Girl website. Her slogan is:
I'm not a nutritionist, I'm just hungry. Aren't we all?
Bottom line: I will be judging the Mr. Romance contest for purely research purposes only....really.
