Giveaway Time!

To celebrate the release of PLAY ME tomorrow (March 11), I wanna have some fun! I have 5 calendars to give away. Yes, 5!!! The calendars feature the fabulous Jimmy Thomas. Jimmy has been on over 1,000 romance novel covers (and counting) and epitomizes the romantic hero, regardless of genre. His pictures are also smokin' hot and trust me...not a hardship to look at. Who wouldn't want a new image of Jimmy to drool over appreciate every month? Just don't blame me if you end up leaving one month showing way past it's end date :). On top of all that, Jimmy seems like a really nice guy and he loves animals. BTW, 2 of the calendars I'm giving away are autographed by Jimmy himself!

So...here's how the contest will work for 4 of the calendars:
  • It starts now and runs through March 24 at midnight (eastern).
  • I'm extending the end date to Sunday, March 27 at midnight because I'll be on a school field trip to the Miami-Dade fair all day Friday. I'll post winners on Monday March 28!! More chances to win, right?
  • Comment here on my blog or on Facebook on any of my posts during the giveaway period to earn 1 entry.
  • If you follow my blog (or already do), you get an additional entry.
  • If you friend me on Facebook (or we're already friends), you get an additional entry.
  • All the entries will be put into a jar (or a barrel, depending) and 4 will be drawn randomly. One of these will get the autographed calendar. Obviously, the more entries you have, the more chance you have of winning.  
  • I'll announce the winners on my blog on March 25 (once I figure out how to track all this LOL).
  • I'll ship anywhere :). This is not just limited to US/Canadian residents!
So, what about calendar number 5?? I'm doing something special/different for the final autographed calendar. To be in the drawing for this one, simply check out Jimmy's calendar site here and let me know which of the calendar months (January through January) has my favorite picture of Jimmy. Easy, right? If there is more than 1 correct answer, I'll draw a winner at random from the correct entries. Same time frames as the giveaway above and winner will be announced on March 25 as well.

Clear as mud, right? Thought so :). Have fun!

  9. I have to tell you my favorite line from Play Me was, “You, ah, don’t really have a brother, do you?”

    Savoring the book for a few days before I write my review. (Okay, I want to wait until I'm not totally PMSing and can enjoy the full benefits of your writing...LOL)

  15. That man is just DELICIOUS!!! Not sure my heart could handle having the calendar, but I'm hoping to win anyway! LOL

    I LOVE April (my bday month & sooo hot!) But I'm going to guess your fave is March, No April, No August, September, ARGH! I'm going with all of them!!!!!

    Also, I already had you on my FB, but apparently you've gone missing from my page. I'm now a follower again. Hmmm FB is a puzzle somedays!!! :0)

  16. I'm hoping your favorite is mine, which is April. Oh my the plot bunnies I could spin from that one.

    I will say I'm pleasantly surprised. September (my bday month) typically doesn't get a lot of good images, but oh my WORD!

    It would look oh so awesome next to my Studs & Spurs calendar, just sayin
