Sarah M. Eden, Julie Coulter Bellon, and I are revving up for Friday's Triple Book Launch Party!
THIS FRIDAY, March 12
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Deseret Book at University Village
(East of University Mall in Orem)
Get ready for a bunch of great door prizes. (They'll be announced here soon. We've got a bunch of awesome stuff!) Friday will be a ball.
Whether you love Regency Romance, Thrillers with lots of suspense (and a little romance thrown in!), or women's fiction (or know someone who does!), you won't want to miss this event.
But WAIT! There's more for YOU.
We want to spread the word about the launch as far and as wide as possible.
Welcome to the "Share the Launch Love" drawing!
The more YOU do to spread the word, the better your chances of winning. (I'm totally not above bribery.)
THE PRIZES:
An entire FOUR-BOOK set of my temple books: House on the Hill, At the Journey's End, Spires of Stone, and Tower of Strength.
(That's a value of over $60.00!)
TWO runners-up will get a copy of my grammar book, There, Their, They're: A No-Tears Guide to Grammar from the Word Nerd.
HOW TO ENTER: SPREAD THE LAUNCH PARTY LOVE!
Be sure to leave a comment FOR EACH SEPARATE THING YOU DO so I have a fighting chance of keeping track of the entries.
-TWO ENTRIES: Put the Triple Book Launch Party button on your side bar. (The image is at the top over on my sidebar. Just copy and paste it to your blog). You must also LINK the button to the event's Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=338177993233&ref=mf
HOW-TO UPDATE: For Blogger users, simply copy the image and add it to a picture gadget. There's a spot in the dialog box where you can add a URL to link the picture to. Copy and paste the FB link above, then save.
-THREE ENTRIES: Blog about the launch party, including date, time, location, and name all three authors involved, including links to all three authors (author websites or blogs).
-TWO ENTRIES: First you must do the blog post (above). In that post, include all three book covers featured at the launch. (Courting Miss Lancaster, Dangerous Connections, and Band of Sisters).
Here are the covers, just to make things really easy for you:
-ONE TO FIVE ENTRIES: Tweet the event. (Include a link to your tweet in your comment.) Receive an additional entry each time you tweet the launch (maximum once a day) between now and Friday. (Leave a comment each time, with a link for each tweet.)
-ONE ENTRY: Mention the launch party in your Facebook status or news feed. (Include a link in your comment.)
-ONE ENTRY: Follow The Lyon's Tale. (If you're already a follower, just say so in a comment; an immediate entry!)
-ONE ENTRY: Become my fan on Facebook (use the nifty Facebook fan badge in the sidebar).
-ONE TO THREE ENTRIES: Link back to THIS POST (not just my blog; use the permalink) and share it via Facebook, Twitter, on in a blog post (the same blog post as above works!).
(It would also be awesome if readers would invite their Wasatch Front-living friends to attend. If they're on Facebook, go to the event page and click on "share." I have no idea how to track invitations like that, but we'd sure appreciate it!)
Drawing ENDS Friday, March 12 at 4:00 pm Mountain Time.
Winners will be announced after the launch (and, quite possibly, a long nap).
***TOTAL POSSIBLE ENTRIES: TWENTY-ONE!***
Ready . . . go!
(Hope to see you Friday!)

It could happen.
Best of luck to you on the book launch. Sometimes I really wish I lived closer to the action.
I just blogged about it, but my pregnant brain makes me too tired to do all the things you asked! I'm sorry! But hopefully people will click over to the Facebook page anyway. I just wanted to let you know I care, even though I haven't been around much lately.
Tweet tweet!
Oh, how I wish I could go! Hubby will be flying back home just about then. It sounds like so much fun! Good luck to all three of you- I'm sure you'll have a blast!

The more times I enter, maybe I am bound to win something.
Hopefully.
Cause you have to sign something of mine for LDStorymaker's right?
Why not one of these lovely books??
Yup, It's me AGAIN.
Hello lovely lady author friend of mine.
I just posted yet another FB announcement. I hope my friends aren't getting sick of me telling them all about it.
LOL.

It is worth it if I can just win.
Please?
