Lori's Newsletter
January 2010
Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had the absolute best holiday ever! This will be a quickie newsletter because really, we’re all too busy right now! I'm too busy for writing, and you're likely too busy for reading. ☺
THE 6TH ANNUAL READER AND AUTHOR GET TOGETHER
Information for the Get Together, including registration, should be up by the first week of January. Find it on my website under the community link. We're still the best deal in town with registration for the entire weekend being only $50! Readers and authors alike will enjoy the casual atmosphere, the access to books, the conversation, good food, fun, games and photo ops! Sign up now!
GIANT GIVEAWAY - the results
The ONE WAY FARM giveaway has ended and I have the winners and final tally. Our final donation total to the One Way Farm is $1230.00! Just excellent. Mega thanks to ALL who helped to make this a successful fundraiser. Details here. And now onto the names drawn.... (drumroll) 1st - Rebecca Ringler; 2nd - Amy Kennedy Fossen; 3rd - Andrecca Smalberger. Congratulations ladies. I so hope you enjoy your prize packages. THANK YOU EVERYONE for helping to make this such a successful effort!!!! You helped to brighten the lives of many children at the ONE WAY FARM.
MY SPECIAL GIFT FOR YOU!
Because I'm finally caught up for a change, I decided to write a FREE story, Christmas Candi, that I wrote for you as a Christmas present from me. (We're working on making it available for Kindle. Unfortunately, I'm required to put a price on it when it goes to Kindle, and that'll be $1. If you want to read it totally free, read it now!) It's posted on my L.L. Foster site, www.llfoster.com. The short story is related to my novellas that were in Out of the Light, Into the Shadow. Featured is Amos Jardine, uncle to Mercedes and Brax (who each had a romance in the anthology.) I hope you enjoy it!
WHAT I'M WORKING ON
I have a novella that is due February or thereabouts, so wish me luck on making that deadline after all the chaos of the wonderful holidays!
ROMCON CONFERENCE
If you're a conference goer, there's a new one that you won't want to miss. I'm telling you early so that anyone interested can start planning. I'll be there!
RomCon™ 2010 will be in Denver, Colorado on July 9th to the 11th.
More info can be found at their website.
NEW BOOKS!
Feb 2nd watch for Back in Black, a Berkley single title and part of the SBC fighter books.
Newly posted – a reissue cover for Just a Hint, Clint, which will be on shelves in June 2010.
New addition – to help celebrate the holidays, I have a special Holiday Books page. You can find that here.
PRINTABLE ONE SHEET CALENDAR
The printable one sheet calendar of upcoming releases has been updated for 2010. You can find it here.
FACEBOOK
Please remember – I'm trying to get my Facebook friends to join my Facebook fan page. I'm told that after 5000 people join my personal page, it'll shut down – and we don't want that! I have over 3000 friends right now, and I get over 50 more each week, so... closing in fast!
Fan pages can accommodate a lot more people. The Fan page would be the same as my personal page, though. There's a link for the fan page on my regular Facebook page, right below my profile picture.
CAFEPRESS
Lastly, don't forget to check out my Cafepress store where you'll find fun gifts for the reader or writer in your family!
That's it from me.
God bless you, everyone. I hope you enjoy a beautiful, healthy, happy 2010!
As always you can find me at various locations.
