A Contest, Win ARC’s, GC’s and other Groovy Stuff

Bobbie Faye’s (kinda, sorta, not exactly) Family Jewels Contest!

Introducing, Bobbie Faye-LOL funny, with a streak of bad luck a mile wide. Toni McGee Causey’s second in her uproariously funny Bobbie Faye series is available NOW! Get it at Amazon.com: http://tinyurl.com/4b8qlu or you can find it in the general fiction section of your local bookstore!

But hey, you don’t have to wait to read the book to enter the contest! And you might win some seriously cool stuff if you’re willing to trip the blogtastic!

In an effort to make up for trashing half of Louisiana, Bobbie Faye’s been offered a chance to right her wrongs by writing an advice column for her local paper. Michele Bardsley and I decided who could use advice more than our heroines, Nina from ACCIDENTALLY DEAD, and Patsy from BECAUSE YOUR VAMPIRE SAID SO?

With that in mind, we thought a contest would be fun, fun, fun and so we sent off a letter to the very, er, helpful Bobbie Faye…

So here’s what ya gotta do to enter-

Read Nina’s cry from the lovelorn here: http://www.dakotacassidy.net/

Read Patsy’s plea here: http://www.michelebardsley.com/

Then hit Toni McGee Causey’s blog: http://www.tonimcgeecausey.com/blog.html

We’re all giving away prizes, and you could be entered to win ‘em all! Just leave comments at each blog. Each author will choose a winner. And here’s what you could win if you come play with us!

Author Dakota Cassidy is giving away a signed ARC of ACCIDENTALLY DEAD and an Amazon gift certificate for 15 smackers :)

Author Michele Bardsley’s offered up an ARC of her November release WAIT TILL YOUR VAMPIRE GETS HOME and some Broken Heart goodies.

Author Toni McGee is giving away a 15$ Barnes and Noble gift certificate and the most AWESOME T-shirt to ever hit RT: http://www.cafepress.com/bobbiefaye.245732603

And now those damned contest rules-

Contest begins Sunday June 1, 2008 and ends Monday June 2, 2008 at midnight CST. One winner will be chosen from each blog-so go enter them all!

All winners are chosen at random and must check back at each blog on Tuesday June 2, 2008 to see if they’ve won in order to claim their prize.

Read Bobbie Faye’s answers to our poor heroine’s dilemmas, and get to know one of the freshest, funniest voices in humor today! And if you haven’t already, check BOBBIE FAYE’S (KINDA, SORTA, NOT EXACTLY) FAMILY JEWELS: Amazon.com: http://tinyurl.com/4b8qlu

Would you like to earn some extra entries into the drawings for these great prizes? (I knew you would say YES!). All you need to do between NOW and next Monday is post this event on as many of your blogs, facebook, myspace and websites as you can (where it is acceptable to do so). Then come back to THIS post and respond with the links to where you promoted the event. For every link you provide you will get another chance to win. Example: You post 5 links, you get 5 entries. Easy as pie and prizes don’t you think? Don’t worry, there will be a way to get extra entries on Monday as well.
