The winners are:

Candace
Margay

Congratulations!

For those of you who didn't win, stay tuned. I just received a box of six beautiful new romance releases from Hatchette Books, and who knows, I might be tempted to share them with you. Loverly, eh?

Winners of free books!

We have our winners, folks.

Christine, you are the winner of Gerry Bartlett's Vampires Hate Their Thighs!
Kara C, you are the winner of Colleen Thompson's Touch of Evil!

Both copies are signed by their authors and yours to treasure forever...provided you claim them by sending me an e-mail (tjb @ tjbennett . com) no later than April 19. I'll need your snail mail address to send them out to you. If you don't claim you book, I'll select another eligible winner.

Congrats!

Best Laid Plans...

Wow, life likes to throw curve balls at ya, doesn't it? Despite my best laid plans, I was forced to reschedule my workshop at West Houston RWA due to a family emergency (I will present in August instead). My broke kid got broken again (fractured his left leg in two places), which requires me to play momma nurse again. So, no extra books. Sighhhh.

However, I do still have signed copies of new releases by Colleen Thompson (Touch of Evil) and Gerry Bartlett (Vampires Hate Their Thighs) to give away. Leave a comment on this post if you'd like to win one of them, with your preference listed for the one you'd like most, and I'll pick two winners by April 15, 2010. So, if you win, tax day won't be all bad, will it? Winners will have until April 19 to claim their prizes.

Have fun!

"Dang, it's COOOLD" Random Freebie Giveaway

I'm laughing here in Houston, folks, because it's 25 degrees. I'm not laughing because it's cold, but because of the Houstonian's reaction to it. Now, understand that we are about 20 degrees lower than normal right now, so I get that. It is cold. But Houstonians are freaking out. I mean, it's just COLD, fer crying out loud. It's not even going to rain! Not even sleeting, snowing, storming, or hailing, although I did see a little puddle on the side of the road that had iced over a little. A group I belong to decided to cancel their monthly meeting because it was predicted to have a low in the 20's. Sheesh. My feeling is, put on an extra sweater, a jacket, don a pair of gloves, and you're all set.:-)

I used to live in Los Angeles, and they were the same way about rain. Gridlock, school closings, mass hysteria, dogs mating with cats, the moon crashing into the Earth: you name it--and that was with a summer shower!

But, it is a good excuse for me to give away some free books. So, just to let you know I'm still around and giving stuff away, I've got unsigned copies of Liz Carlyle's WICKED ALL DAY and Elizabeth Hoyt's TO DESIRE A DEVIL to give away. All you have to do is respond to this post and tell me how cold or hot it is where you live today. The person with the coldest low temp and the person with the warmest high temp wins (and I WILL check, so no fibbing). Include in your comment which of the two books you'd like to win when you respond. US and Canada mailing addresses only, please. I'll select a winner by 8pm tomorrow, January 9, 2010. [Note: date corrected. Apparently, I went a week into the future for a moment, it was so cold.]

Good luck!
