An enticing list, but I'm surprised there are only nine thirteen sixteen eighteen twenty twenty-one entries so far. I mean goodness, this is a chance to get promotion for your book! And all you have to do is follow my blog and make a comment. Some of you are too shy, not even mentioning the title in your comments. I had to go look them up.

Hey, authors, be proud and be loud! Take advantage of this opportunity to promote your book!

  18. Berin, You are my 299th follower so I'm very excited because I'm that close to 300. *Woo hoo* even tho *ahem* this isn't about me it's about you guys and your books.

    Jennifer, With Good Behavior sounds like my particular genre taste, whether it wins or not it just might go on my Goodreads to-read shelf!

    Colleen, Yay! A book of poems!

  19. I hope you don't mind me adding some poetry to the mix! :) Also, I maintain a few blogs, but my writerly one is http://peripateticpoetess.blogspot.com/ which is where you will find the Let-tuce link.

  21. Yay, I'm your 300th follower! Your book Uncut Diamonds looks very interesting. Mortgage rates at 13%? I hope America isn't headed back there. Does your sequel take place in the Ronald Reagan 80's then? ;) Thank you to Susan Kaye Quinn for tweeting about this contest. Jen

  24. Hi, I'm now following you too. My husband (@chopski) pointed me in the direction of your blog but I see that the rather lovely 'Old Kitty' is one of your readers too. My debut novel 'Without Alice' goes out on exclusive release from Punked Books on July 31st and on general release on October 4th.

    This is the blurb: Have you ever had a secret? One so important that it feels as if it will tear you in two? Stephen’s got one. He's also got a great job, beautiful wife and an adorable son. Outwardly his life seems perfect but it means nothing without Alice. Read 'Without Alice' and meet a man who you will love to hate until you learn to love him.

    I've got a facebook page for 'Without Alice' and would love to have you and as many other who want to join in the fun to come along and click on the 'like' button. Hope to see you there soon :)

  28. Awww thanks Karen! I've got a lot to be proud about as a novelist with autism, dyslexia and dyspraxia. I'm sure some would have said it wouldn't be possible for me to write a novel...good thing I never asked them :)
    Thanks for visiting my fb page and for leaving a comment! x

  29. Now THIS is what I want to see authors doing to support each other! Thank you for this! It inspires me to pass the torch in future.

    My book is called Seers of Light, the first in a paranormal novel series that's just begun. http://jenniferdelucy.com/

    Thanks again for this!
    xoxo
