Lori's Newsletter
June 2010
The busy month of June!
NEW EXCERPTS
Two oldie reader favorites are being reissued in July. "Fantasy" and "Tantalizing," are included in the compilation book, Unbelievable. Excerpts for both are either already added to the site, or will be added early next week. Hope you enjoy them!
NEW BOOK RELEASES
The 3rd benefit book, The Gift of Love is now available. All author and agent proceeds from the sale of the book will go to benefit The Conductive Learning Center, a special school for children with spina bifida and cerebral palsy. The stories are all romances by some of today's favorite and bestselling authors! I hope you give it a try.
Here's the backcover blurb:
Families come in many configurations, and every one is unique, made up of the personalities of each member. But the love that connects families is universal. Whether it is the love of parents for their children, the love between a husband and wife, the love between siblings, a love that transcends generations, or even the love for a family member never met, the family ties that bind us are the strongest and deepest emotional connections we experience. Families influence a person's development, how they treat others, and how they view life. In The Gift of Love, eight exceptional writers offer a variety of unique perspectives on what family love means and how it impacts our lives in ways profound and often surprising.
Featuring: Lori Foster • Heidi Betts • Jules Bennett • Ann Christopher • Lisa Cooke • Paige Cuccaro • Gia Dawn • Helen Kay Dimon

BLOGGING
Don't forget to visit me at Running with Quills.

I blog every other Friday and often I add a giveaway to the blog where you could win a book and/or T-shirt!
PRINTABLE ONE SHEET CALENDAR
The printable one sheet calendar of upcoming releases has been updated for 2010. You can find it here. It should now include all bookcovers for book releases in the year 2010. :) It’s a great, quickie-reference tool!
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! The fan page now has over 2100 friends! The regular profile has over 4000 friends already, so anyone who tries to sign up for that will be redirected, via facebook email, to my Fan pages.
Fan pages can accommodate a lot more people, and I’ll able to do a lot of giveaways to readers! There's a link for the fan page on my regular Facebook page, right below my profile picture. Or just use this link.
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! I just added some fun new shirts under the "Original" tab, Readers. I know you'll enjoy them!
PHOTOS
I recently added a lot of photos to my facebook fan page from the Romantic Times convention, the Ohioana Book festival, and other events. After the “Reader and Author Get Together” I’ll be adding even more, so stop by and check it out!
I hope all the dads out there have a fabulous, love-filled Father’s Day. This will my first Father's Day without my dad, so it's going to be difficult. I'll be thinking of all of you, and wishing you the very best. Give your dad a hug from me.
As always you can find me at various locations.
