The BIG book giveaway!

Want to win loads of fabulous books from some of your favourite authors?

Want to get the low-down on romance from them?

Well, the Be My Valentine competition starts tomorrow, right here!


In the lead up to Valentine's Day on February 14th, you'll see this little sign every day, along with brief interviews with some fabulous authors giving away their current releases daily.

The line-up includes Liz Fielding, Jill Shalvis, Lucy Monroe, Anna Campbell, Kate Walker, Nalini Singh, Bronwyn Jameson, Jaci Burton, Julie Cohen, Fiona Lowe, Christine Wells, Yvonne Lindsay, Barbara Hannay and Kate Hardy.

So that's 14 new releases from Feb 1st-13th.

We have something for everyone, from paranormal to Presents, from regencies to Desires! And more, loads more!

Then on the 14th, I'll be giving away my own Valentine's Day goody bag packed with 14 books. Yes, that's right, 14 books on the 14th! Cool, huh?

Now, to the boring logistical stuff.

The daily competition will close at 4pm Melbourne time the following day (eg. the Feb 1st comp will close at 4pm Melbourne time on Feb 2nd) This is to give everyone a chance, including those on the east coast of the USA.

Daily winners (and for the goody bag) with the correct answer to the day's question will be chosen at random and posted at the end of the following day.

All entries to be emailed to me at nicolamarsh@iprimus.com.au
(with the author's name in the subject header for that day.)

Entries will receive my newsletter.

That's about it...

Bring on the romance! Roll on Valentine's Day. And win some great reads in the process :)

As an adjunct to my North and South saga, where I couldn't find it anywhere, I now have a copy! A trek to the ABC Shop worked so while this head cold is making me miserable, I think a good dose of Richard Armitage is just what the doctor ordered to cheer me up :)
