Hey everyone!

This is a reminder that my Christmas in Paradise contest ends on Sunday, December 10. The contest is to celebrate my two recent releases Finding Paradise and All She Wants for Christmas. So, here’s the cute ornament I’m giving away. To enter, you sign up for my Yahoo Group.

Here’s a form to make it easy to enter, or you can go on over and check out the group by clicking here. Good luck to all who enter!

I have two stories releasing in November and December.

My November release just came out from Cobblestone Press, it’s called Finding Paradise and it’s about jungle explorers in Peru. Click here for more details.

My December release is with The Wild Rose Press, and is title All She Wants for Christmas. That one is a sexy little story that I had tons of fun writing.

The prize? Pictured below is a fairly traded (this is important for the non-sweat-shop item lover, like me) gourd Christmas ornament that was hand carved and painted by artisans in Peru.

Get it? Christmas in Paradise? Yeah, I’m not that subtle. But I think it’s spiffy!

What do you have to do to win this oh-so-cute ornament? Sign up for my Yahoo Group. If you’re already a member of my group, you’re automatically entered in the contest. On December 10, I’ll draw a name at random from my group and you’ll get a nice little Christmas present from me to you.

Win some cool shit!

To celebrate our Grand Opening we’re having a blog contest. (Ok, we’re
late. Sue us.) To play take a look at our header and guess which of
the Novelty authors is represented by what object. There’s one extra
object. Consider it a freebie lol. You need to match an author with
cowboy boots, chocolate covered cherries, handcuffs, a pink martini, a
spyglass, and a gun. To enter join our yahoo group, and then email
your answers to me at thenoveltygirls @ yahoo.com (without the spaces
of course). Tomorrow, Dayna will post a hint post, so don’t miss
it!

The lucky winner will get all kinds of goodies including a Tropical
Dream Calgon sample pack (lotion, mist, and wash), a Victoria’s Secret
lip gloss, a copy of Crystal’s Full Swing, a $10 gift certificate to
Bath and Body Works, a $10 online gift certificate to Barnes and
Nobles, and a cherry stationary and magnet set.

In addition to the Grand Prize winner, we will also enter all entrants
into a separate drawing for a $5 Cobblestone Press gift certificate.

The contest is open and running until next Thursday, the 21. We’ll
announce the winner here and on the yahoo group on the 22. Happy
guessing!

FULL SWING by Crystal Jordan
(Cobblestone Press, August 18, 2006)

The only place they still communicate is between the sheets…a professional woman golfer and an Army Ranger struggle to save their marriage after he’s seriously injured in combat and has to retire. Outside the bedroom, everything is falling apart because he believes she deserves better than a broken man, but she dreams of a future when they stop fighting and start talking long enough to reclaim the happily ever after that once seemed so certain.
