This, that and the other thing Monday
|
|||
 |
| Ok, Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver, Stargate) will be at Comic Con sans mullet, but I'll be |
This is the last blog before I leave for my 3 weeks of travel covering Comic Con in San Diego, RWA (Romance Writers of America) in San Francisco and the much anticipated book launch of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s (see the commercial for the book here) Acheron in Nashville. Just wait until you see who I have lined up for Drive By Videos at these conventions. Even I can’t believe it.
Tuesday is my travel day, so I’m turning over the reins to author Angie Fox who had the winning bid at Brenda Novak’s Charity Auction for Diabetes. She wrote an awesome blog, so stop by and leave Angie comments to show her the love we’re famous for here. And wait until you see her pictures. They’ll have you smiling all day long.
Other news I received this week:
From Author Judith Rochelle/ Desiree Holt: To celebrate its second anniversary The Wild Rose Press and Editor-in-chief Rhonda Penders wanted a project that would give something back to the community. What could be better for a publisher than a book that would raise funds for a worthy cause, and I was honored to be asked to write it. The result is On The Run, a romantic suspense that focuses on domestic violence.
All funds raised from sales of this book - from the publisher, author's royalties and cover artist fee - will go to the Victim's Advocacy Office of the San Antonio Police Department, chosen because most of the story takes place in San Antonio. Everyone who buys this book will be contributing to this fund. The book is available through The Wild Rose Press, Amazon, Barnes& Noble, All romance Ebooks, Fictionwise and Alibris. (What a fun way to help a very serious cause)
From Author Deborah LeBlanc: Literacy Incorporated is a non-profit organization on a mission to fight illiteracy across America by reaching out to high school students in all corners of the continental United States.
To help battle these problems, Deborah LeBlanc, the founder of Literacy Inc., decided in 3005 to create an incentive based program that would encourage America's students to read--the LeBlanc Literacy Challenge. To participate in this annual Challenge, students must read two books, take an on-line quiz and submit a short essay.
The participant with the highest score wins a grand prize of $5000 in cash, plus an additional $1000 that is given to the school or library of the winner’s choice. As an added incentive to further education, if the winner chooses to put the $5000 in a college fund, Deborah will personally set up a matching funds program at the college of the student’s choice. In addition, once the student is enrolled in the university, his or her dedication to education, as made evident through grades and attendance, will be rewarded with additional funds to cover subsequent semesters, all the way through a four-year bachelor’s degree program. Other prizes include a desktop computer as well as gift certificates to bookstores with values up to $275. You can read more about this program here. (This is a wonderful way to encourage our youth to read. There can never be too many literacy programs)
I'm always looking for news for the Monday blog that includes milestones, kudos, special events and even important doings in your life (weddings, babies). You can email me here with your news and while I can't get it all in, I'll try my best.

More kudos to Judith and Rochelle! May your efforts receive the support they deserve. Three weeks, one suitcase? You're a braver woman than I, Barbara! I'm assuming you're also taking quarters for the hotel laundromats! LOL!

Thanks so much Judith for writing this book for such a great cause. I knew you were the right author for the job and I couldn't be more pleased. For anyone who hasn't read On the Run, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy, you and the victims of domestic violence will be glad you did. Rhonda Penders - The Wild Rose Press
