I recently entered in the annual DABWAHA (Dear Author Bitchery Writing Award for Hellagood Authors) Tournament, which is like March Madness for romance novels. In past years, I have made a fairly unremarkable showing.
This year–shockingly–I WON!
One of the prizes I won was a big box of books from Berkley. I’d like to share my good fortune with all of you, so I’m giving away a Berkley sampler featuring some of the very best authors in paranormal, contemporary, historical and erotic romance:
To enter to win, all you need to do is answer the question below. So…what are you waiting for?
Contest Question
According to Isabella, what is her mother’s main purpose in life?
(Hint: You can find the answer here.)
How It Works
Enter by filling out the contest form. On June 1, a winner will be chosen at random. The contest will remain open through May 31, 2012. Once you have submitted an entry, there is no need to re-enter until a new contest begins. Even if you have previously entered Sara’s contests, you must enter this one separately to be eligible to win.
Contest Rules
You must be at least 18 years old to enter. There is no purchase necessary. Winners are randomly chosen from all entrants with complete contact information, a valid email address, and the correct answer to the contest question. Winners will be notified by e-mail and must confirm their mailing addresses within two weeks in order to claim their prizes.
By entering, you agree to be added to Sara’s newsletter. Messages go out monthly at most, and it’s easy to unsubscribe at any time. Sara promises to keep your personal information safe and will never share it with anyone. By entering, you give Sara permission to post your first name and state (or country) on the website if you win. International entries (i.e., outside the USA) are welcome, but Sara reserves the right to substitute prizes due to postal restrictions or other practical concerns.
Any further questions? Just write and ask!
