A cool commercial
My brother-in-law Jim writes a marketing blog, and a while back he showed this commercial. I’ll admit, when I first started watching it, I thought it was a bit weird. But the ending was one I never saw coming. And then when I look back, the entire commercial made sense. It reminds me of reading a great book where–pow! Out of nowhere the author changes the ending on you, and you think, WOW that was good. Unpredictability is a favorite of mine. Watch the ad and let me know what you think!
I’ve been delinquent about putting together my August contest. Here’s my dilemma. I have a ton of fabulous books from the RWA conference that I want to give away, I have copies of Her Irish Warrior and The Warrior’s Touch up for grabs, and I just haven’t decided what to give away this month. What do you think? Should I give away signed copies of my own books or make it a readers’ choice of a blend of romance novels? What are your favorite kinds of author contests to win?

That commercial was pretty cool. It makes you think. It will be better for the world when we can find ways to use clean energy effectively for everyone, and not have to rely on coal or oil anymore. Either way would be good Michelle. I would love to have a couple autographed copies of your Irish books, but a grab bag of books would be great too.
Hope you and everyone on here has a fabulous day today.

Tori Lennox Says:
I’m easy either way (oh, hush!) when it comes to free books.

haha I’m with Tori
Just don’t make me chose - I agonize over decisions like that 
I’ll check out the commercial later - stupid dial up takes forever.

Hmmm…well, maybe I’ll do a bit of both. One of my signed books, and one by another author?

Thanks for the linkie to the commecial. As for the contest, free books are always great, and I would give a choice. Personally, I always love signed copies.
