Dear
Friends--
Because
I'm new to Sweet Romance Reads (January 2017), I introduced myself just three months ago on my fiftieth birthday and gave
away 5 winners' choices of kindle-edition books. Remember that fun? Thank you
again for the incredibly warm welcome and the ongoing support. I haven't a good
excuse this time, so I'll make one up.
I hereby declare April 25th Reader Appreciation
Day, as I want very much to say THANK YOU...with a drawing of TEN winners and
TEN books! (impress me with the quantity of entries, like last January, and
I'll double this number to TWENTY!)
Why? (thinly disguised as More About Kristin)
1. I genuinely enjoy
showing my
appreciation and giving back to readers.
2. I can't think of a better
way to SAY THANK YOU.
3. I subscribed to Stamps.com for the convenience of shipping paperback books without
ever leaving my home office. I LOVE avoiding the Post Office! Might as well use this convenient service I pay money
for.
4. Although my name is also e-free, like the
other correctly spelled Kristin on the Sweet Romance
Reads team, I write Sweet Western Historical Romance (Kristin Wallace writes Sweet Contemporary)...and enjoy introducing my
work.
5. **I have no trouble giving away the farm.**
6. I've discovered many readers enjoy collecting autographed
paperback books--even if they prefer to read the kindle edition...or
usually purchase/borrow the eBook.
7. I have oodles
of my paperbacks (I may or may not have the "if one is good, fifty is
better" attitude).
8. Connecting with readers is heartening,
rejuvenating, and reminds me that it is for YOU that I write.
9. I write frequent blog posts about everything "Old West"--tidbits of accurate history I
found and fell in love with while researching for my books.
10. Today, my sixteen titles are all historical...but this year I'm breaking that mold
and my first contemporary will be published this autumn!
11. I have a new page on my website For Writers. If you're
writing, or want to start, come see.
12. I'm a severe chronic pain sufferer.
APRIL 25: READER APPRECIATION
DAY
1. Let's
GO BIG or GO HOME. TEN (to TWENTY) names will be drawn at
random from all entries, and each winner will receive their choice of any one
title I've written, either in kindle OR in autographed paperback (as available).
2. Winners must be willing
to provide me EITHER their standard email
address or mailing address,
privately, by Facebook's IM [instant messaging] / PM [private messaging] for
use only in delivering their
choice of book titles and formats. I promise winners will not suddenly
find their email on my newsletter list or sold to some strange company. The
drawing will close at midnight tonight (4-25-17), and winners will be
drawn and announced tomorrow morning (4-26-17) in two places: an update
to this blog post AND on Sweet Romance Reads Cafe (on FB).
3. TO ENTER, do three things: 1) Comment
