Exciting news, winner & more ways to win iPad 3

Saturday, May 19th, 2012

by Beverley Kendall

I have some very exciting news! As of June 2, I will go from writing part-time to writing full-time!!! For me this was one of those decisions I knew I’d have to make but once I did, one I felt completely comfortable with. Yes, it’s a bit scary. I’ve worked all my life and have be dependent on a regular pay cheque and benefits. Throwing my financial future into publishing, which comes with many many uncertainties, took lots of thought and consideration. What it came down to was my ability to get out books in a timely fashion. My full-time job was very demanding, allowing me little time to do everything else I needed to do in my life–take care of my son, write, clean my house and then there was the matter of sleeping. Well as of June 2nd I will be freed up by 40 plus hours a week. I’m ecstatic to say the least and expect to put more books with greater frequency.

To me that’s reason enough to celebrate. Madison has created a new Facebook page for The Season Blog visitors. I personally think it’s lovely page. To help her populate it, everyone who likes the page will receive one entry for the iPad 3 drawing. And if you want to know how close I am to giving that away, here’s an update:

The goal is to reach 15,000 books sold of AN HEIR OF DECEPTION.
Current # books sold = 10,456
# books needed to reach goal = 4,544

I have no idea how much longer it will take to reach the 15k goal but I hope it doesn’t take much longer (another 4-6 weeks would be great). And if you’re not on Facebook, don’t worry, there will be other ways to enter the drawing for the iPad 3. :)

And now, the winner is…

Maggie Robinson’s MASTER OF SIN and Zoë  Archer’s DEMON’S BRIDE

It’s time to win a Kindle Fire!

Sunday, February 12th, 2012

Last year, I said I would give away a Kindle Fire when I reached the free download goal of 250,000 for my novella, ALL’S FAIR IN LOVE & SEDUCTION. Well, this morning when I tallied up the numbers, I was happy to discover I was at 251,547! 

Needless to say, I’m thrilled and ready to give away that Kindle Fire.

So here’s are the number of ways you can enter to win:

1. If you posted on your site or blog back in December to enter to win the iPad 2, you will receive 10 entries.

2. As of this morning at 9:00 AM EST, if you are subscribed to my personal newsletter (you would have done so here), you will receive 5 entries.

3. If you’ve actually downloaded ALL’S FAIR IN LOVE & SEDUCTION, you will receive 3 entries.

4. Comment on the blog today to enter to win!

 

If you qualify because of conditions 1-3, please include that in the comment section. If you’re subscribed to my personal newsletter, please use the same email address that you used to subscribe (so it’s easy for me to verify). If you downloaded the novella, please include where you downloaded the novella from. Winner will be announced February 18th!

This is a THANK YOU to everyone–readers, fans, visitors–who have been soooo very supportive  since I published my debut, SINFUL SURRENDER. Thank you for giving a new author a chance and for sharing your good experience with others. :)

Is it just me or does Christmas seem to sneak up on us every year like a stealth bomber? I swear, it feels like yesterday I was stifled by the oppressive heat of Georgia’s August sun, and now Thanksgiving is a week away and in only 38 days 2011 culminates in the biggest holiday of the year: Christmas.

So as we’re staring down the end of the year, I want to hear from you:

1. Favourite book of the year (first release copyright in 2011)

2. Favourite author of the year

3. Favourite cover of the year.
