Find My Book, Win a Prize!

Congratulations to Debbie Montgomery, who found Of Grace and Chocolate on the shelves at Seagull Book in American Fork, Utah! Looks like I'm in good company, too. And we're on sale! :)

I'm clear up here in Wyoming, and I've come to the realization that I need a picture of my book on a book shelf in a store that is selling my book. I'm not even sure if it IS in stores yet, but if you see it, snap a picture and post it to me on Facebook or Twitter, or send it to my contact email address at kristalynnej at yahoo dot com! The first one to send me a picture will win their choice of Of Grace and Chocolate, OR Friends & Foes, by Sarah M. Eden. WHAT COULD BE EASIER?

But you have to find it first!

And don't forget this:

Hooray!

I've been waiting for this one! But first, the latest news:

Our spectacular BOOK LAUNCH has been scheduled! Sarah M. Eden and I will be launching our books together on Saturday, January 14th at the Ft. Union Deseret Book store! You don't want to miss this! Anybody in the Salt Lake City/Provo area, pass the word and mark your calendars!

AND

My local book launch is scheduled for Thursday, January 26th at The Thistle in Cody, Wyoming! Yay!

AND

I'm having a book signing at Every Needful Thing in Billings, Montana somewhere around the first of February.

AND

I'll be at Far West Books in Kennewick, Washington in April for Ladies Night and their 30th Anniversary Celebration! That's where I grew up, and Far West is where I bought my first LDS fiction. Aww.

More details to come! BUT I HAVE A CONTEST TO ANNOUNCE!

The PRIZES: There will be TWO winners for this contest. EACH will win a 2 lb. bag of chocolate-covered cinnamon bears AND A COPY OF MY BOOK, Of Grace and Chocolate! Yay! The books won't be available until January, but they will be available and THAT IS THE IMPORTANT PART!

Winners Announced and THE BOOK TRAILER

I'd like to think that I woke up at 4 AM because I was so excited about today's post and not because my dog was barking to be let outside. UGH. So let's just say I was so excited I couldn't sleep, like on Christmas Eve . . . when you're a kid. *looks around*

First, I'd like to thank everyone again for spreading the word about Of Grace and Chocolate and all these contests. Self-promotion is not something I'm all that comfortable with and you are helping to make it fun. So THANK YOU.

Second, congrats to the winners of my latest contest! Janine Jensen will be getting a 2 lb. bag of my favorite chocolate-covered gummy bears! ENJOY! And Emily Clausen (@EGClausen on Twitter) will receive a copy of EVERNEATH by Brodi Ashton. Gotta love authors whose books are coming out in January 2012.

Third, I'd like to thank my son, Braeden, for helping me put together this next project. Without him, all I'd have is a bunch of creative commons images, a song, and some words, sitting in a file on my laptop. Because of his know-how, talent, and iMovie, I am now very happy to present the new book trailer for Of Grace and Chocolate. I hope you like it.







I'll be hosting another contest very soon! Stay tuned . . .
