I'm glad you stopped by today. There are new videos in Movie Theater and some changes on the Main Page too. Plus, there's a new page called Monthly Giveaway, but we'll get to that in a moment.
We're all excited about celebrating March and St. Patrick's Day, one of those fun holidays that we all celebrate whether we're Irish or not.
In fact, on St. Paddy's Day, we're all Irish, indulging in green-frosted cookies, Reuben Sandwiches, and green beer.
LUCK O' THE IRISH March Giveaway
We had so much fun with our February Grand Opening Giveaway and met so many nice readers that we decided to keep the fun going.
The LUCK O' THE IRISH March Giveaway is sponsored by these participating authors: Bonnie Edwards * Cheryl Bolen * Connie Vines * Elsa Kurt * Jan Scarbrough * Joan Reeves * Karen Kelley * Kathleen Lawless * Lucinda Race * Nancy Fraser * Nora LeDuc * Peggy Jaeger * Satin Russell.
We're just getting started, and we have great things planned for the future. Check back when the Rafflecopter opens on March 4 and see each participating author's proposed book title from which you can select the book in which you want to Name a Character if you are a Grand Prize Winner.
For March, we have 3 ways for you to win some awesome prizes: a Rafflecopter, our Comment & Win that has proved so popular, and a brand-new giveaway we're calling Friends Tell Friends.
We're giving away so many prizes that a page, Monthly Giveaway, has been set up so you can pop in and view them at any time. Just look for Monthly Giveaway on the Menu Bar.
The Rafflecopter doesn't start until 1 minute past midnight on March 4, Monday, but Comment & Win and Friends Invite Friends are open now. On March 4, there will be an announcement on the blog at the top of the left sidebar, and the links will be active.
Let me tell you about everything.

ReplyDeleteOMG! How are you up so early? I didn't go to bed until 1:30. My wonderful hubby brought me a cup of coffee and held it beneath my nose until the aroma roused me. I took the cup and came upstairs to the computer to add details I forgot to mention in my post and the Giveaway Page.
DeleteI am so excited for our readers to have a chance at these great prizes.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Kathleen. We have some great prizes lined up.
