Holiday Hell: Day 1

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED! THANKS FOR ENTERING!

Today’s prize is a $25 gift certificate to the online bookstore of your choice, including but not limited to Barnes and Noble, Powell’s, Amazon, Fictionwise, etc. I will even buy to Amazon.uk or likewise, but the amount will be 25 US dollars.

To enter the drawing, you’ll need to promote this contest in some way on any venue of your choice (your blog, Facebook, MySpace, a forum you frequent, etc). Your promotion must include two things: a mention of some of the prizes being given away (you must at least mention the Kindles) and a link back to the contest post.

Once your post is up, you can come back here and either leave a link to your promo in the comments, or fill out the form with the information (since I know some of you have trouble commenting on this blog). For this daily draw only, you can have multiple entries by promoting it on more than one venue. You must leave a seperate comment for each entry (if you’re filling out the form, just fill out the form once and include all the links).

Winner will be chosen randomly on December 2nd and announced here. Please see this post for the fine print.

About Me


Angela James

There is nothing worse than writing a bio. And writing one for your blog sidebar? Blech. Maybe you landed here via Google, followed me from Twitter (does that make you a stalker?) or maybe we met at a conference or you clicked a link from a comment I made at a blog you visited. Hopefully whatever I said didn't make you so mad you came looking for a picture to throw darts at (yep, that's me up above, in my favorite cowboy hat) but instead drove you to find out more about the amazingly witty and intelligent person behind the amazingly witty and intelligent comment.

However you found me, who you found is Angela James, executive editor of Carina Press, Harlequin's new digital-first press. I'm passionate about digital publishing, my mission is to drag people to the digital dark side, one reader (and author) at a time. I'm also Brianna's mommy. At my blog you'll get an odd mix of personal and professional posts about parenting, publishing, books, cooking, sewing and life in general. Come back often, comment frequently and go green—buy ebooks!

Please note that this is my personal blog and my opinions are neither that of Harlequin, nor representative of their opinions.

Find Me Here

First, I blog once or twice a week at theCarina Press blog, talking about the job, the authors, the books and other things Carina Press. And, of course, you can always find me on Twitter. Or Facebook, if you prefer (mostly the same content, one feeds the other). I also run the Carina Press Twitter and Facebook accounts. Social media, it's where it's at (well, it's where I'm at, anyway).
