Things I should not promise to do:

Posted by Jill Myles in promo - (2 Comments)

1) Blog 'tomorrow'.

2) Promise to run a contest on a Monday.

Seriously y'all. I am drowning in work. I know that's not an excuse, but that's what it is. Until I catch up, blogging will be sporadic.

So in the MEANTIME, I'm going to hold a contest anyhow. Starting now!

Not in regards to my bookmarks - I was going to have everyone guess how many man-nipples are on my bookmarks, but since I still can't share cover art (it'll be ready someday, I promise!), I figured I'd go with something else. So! Contest! Answer these 3 questions in the comments:

1) Mantitty makes me happy - Yes/No (and tell me why)

2) True or False: I could potentially find a were-bear hero sexy. (and tell me why)

3) I cannot wait for the book _______ to come out! (and tell me why)

 That's it (and you really don't have to tell me why, though I admit I'm curious about all three).

Answer those in the comments thread and I'll draw a random winner in about a week or so.

The prize? $25.00 to Amazon.com. So if you can order on Amazon.com, you can enter the contest.

easy? peasy? go!

(For the record, my friend Jane says a werebear cannot possibly be sexy. I think they can, but I could be wrong. So that's why I'm asking. That, and I'm weird.)

RWA Quickie Recap and More

Posted by Jill Myles in Blog - Publishing Stuff - (1 Comments)

Hi all!

I’m back from RWA safe and sound, though I still feel like I’m in recovery mode. I didn’t forget about the contest (never fear!) but I’m going to need the weekend to finish catching up and mentally processing everything.

 

RWA was awesome, as usual. I missed all of the PAN track, almost all of the panels, but I had some really great meetings, caught up with friends, and basically handed a bookmark to anyone that was even remotely interested. The consensus? My covers are smoking hot, and the hero on the second cover might or might not have a baseball in his pants. I’m just saying.

 

I actually got to fly home first class, too! That was a first for me. When I went to check in with the airline, a message popped up on the screen. “Would you like to upgrade to first class for $135?”  This is like asking, “Would you like a free cookie with your frappucino?” or “Would you like a two-book contract instead of just one?” Total no brainer. Naturally, I said yes! So I got into my fancy first-class seat and…what a difference! Leg room galore, a blanket to keep me warm, and a nice little table separating me from my seatmate. There were even earphones, a TV, and breakfast. Unfortunately, I missed all of that since I totally passed out and fell asleep before the plane had even left the dock.

 

As soon as I got home…copyedits on book two were waiting for me! So I finished those…and went back to work, where my boss said “Oh good! You’re back! Here’s three projects!”

 

Story of my life. J So I’ve been a bit swamped. But! I am trying to dig my way out. I’m planning on a few more zombie fairy tales within the next month, and as long as I have publisher permission, I’m going to serialize the dinosaurs-conquistadors-Bermuda-Triangle romance. I’m thinking one chapter a week until it’s done, but we’ll see how much editing it needs.

 

So that’s the not so exciting, tl;dr update of my life. I’ll be back on Monday or so with the contest. Trying to decide if I want to give away signed books that I snagged at RWA or an Amazon gift certificate. Thoughts?
