October Contest winners!

10/31/2016

I think this is referred to as getting in by the skin of your teeth, but I really want to close out my newsletter contests by announcing the winners in the month the contest is held...part of my goal not to get quite as far behind!

I had a ton of entries, so obviously I am giving away more books than originally planned. Winners, as always, are chosen through Random.org, and I've got five copies of WILD going out tomorrow morning: to Irene in the UK, Doris in Michigan, Kerry in Connecticut, Bambi in Alabama, and Estella in Oregon. Thank you to all of you who entered, and be sure to watch for my November newsletter, hopefully right around Thanksgiving.

I finished my page proofs of Dangerous Passions last night--read through them twice and couldn't find a single mistake. Made me so nervous (there are ALWAYS typos!) that I requested a digital copy and will read once more tonight. I don't think I've ever read a set of proofs that were this clean! There's got to be a mistake somewhere. I just KNOW it!

I want to wish everyone a safe Halloween if you're out with the kidlets--I do hope you have a wonderful evening, and when the ruckus dies down, find a quiet corner, maybe a cup of tea or a glass of wine, and indulge yourself with a really good book!

Best to all of you, and congratulations to my winners!

Hugs, Kate! It's hard going to page proofs! I imagine it's hard to find errors, but when I don't find anything, then I feel compelled to check again! I don't feel as if I've done my job if I couldn't find anything! LOL! Hope yours is as squeaky clean as it seems!

That's what I keep hoping, but I know that when it comes out in print there will still be SOMETHING!

Fedora, I couldn't find a single error in the print proofs, and it made me so nervous I asked my editor's assistant to send me the pdf file so I could read on my computer. I found THREE! I am much happier now. ❤️

Tracy, I don't think I can do it. You need to send an email to

using the same email you subscribed with. That will remove your name.

I'm so glad you were a winner, Bambi! I know I've seen your entries, but didn't think I'd ever seen you pop up as a winner. I hope you enjoy the collection--WILD is a BIG book! Three full length novels. Enjoy!

Sometimes you get lucky and there isn't a typo, other times there's a comma or italics missing. I hope it goes smoothly and there isn't a typo period. Love your books, keep writing :)
Halloween is my favorite time of the year, especially the decorations. Don't have young-lings anymore but I love decorating. My kids just smile ;) Hope you have a good month.

Thanks, Kerry--one can hope. I'm reading the file in PDF format now. Figure if I don't find anything that the booboos have already been caught.

I just now saw your comment--ignore the email I sent, asking if you'd gotten it yet! I always worry with my international mailing--have had them go to the wrong address on occasion. One I sent to Brazil took over 6 months before it finally arrived! (and that was priority mail!)

Can't wait for Dangerous Passions to come out have read the first two books and can't wait to see what happens with the last two bachelors and what their lucky ladies will be like. Hopefully they will be like Cherry and her sister

I can tell you that these new women aren't at all alike--one is a character you met in the first book that I really liked and realized I had to bring her back, and the other is totally different. She's hispanic and native American with a very convoluted history that brings danger to the pack and forces some tough decisions among them. I had such a good time writing it, and it's got a great ending. I think you'll enjoy it. Comes out as an ebook in January, print in May.

 Newsletter Contest:
Contests are back! I'm not even close to settled, but really miss giving away books, so ready or not, I'm going to start doing them again. International entries are welcome, though I will only pick one international winner for a print book. Postage costs are just too high. Your addresses will not be shared or sold--I respect your privacy. I will only collect addresses if I am giving away print books. That way I don't have to search for the winner after the contest.
I have these contests for fun, because I love to share my books.

October Contest winners!
