New book title, a hint, and a giveaway!

270 Comments

Note: the giveaway is now closed. Winners to be announced shortly.

Those of you following me on Twitter and Facebook know that I promised to reveal the title of my upcoming book today. I know many of you are eager to know who the hero is, and while the title won’t tell you who the book is about, it’ll give you a really good hint what the book is about.

One of the first things I’d told my editor when brainstorming ideas for this book was that I knew I didn’t want the heroine and hero to meet through work. All six of my previous books have my lead characters meeting, somehow, via a work connection, so with this next book, I wanted to do something different. What is that “something different” you ask? Well, maybe the title will give you a clue:

IT HAPPENED ONE WEDDING

(Coming in April)

Big, huge, thanks to Elyssa Patrick for the title, which I love because it’s a play on one of my favorite classic romantic comedies, It Happened One Night. To celebrate the title reveal, I’m giving away two signed copies of my current release, Love Irresistibly. comps_LoveIrr.inddWhich is appropriate–here comes another hint–since the hero in It Happened One Wedding appears in Love Irresistibly.

To enter the giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment below. Two randomly-selected winners can choose between a signed paperback or a Kindle/Nook/Kobo ebook of Love Irresistibly. The giveaway is open internationally and will run until this Friday, June 28, at 9pm CST. Those of you reading this on Goodreads should click here to leave a comment at my blog.

Happy reading!

The Biggest Love Irresistibly Giveaway Ever! (Psst–it’s an iPad mini)

302 Comments

Well, folks, we’ve been having a great time these last couple of months, getting ready for the April 2nd release of Love Irresistibly. Now here we are, one week away, which means we’ve come down to the last giveaway. And it’s a big one.

This week I’m giving away a grand prize of an iPad mini (16 GB wi-fi, winner can choose either white or black) and a $25 gift card to Amazon to start loading it up with books through the Kindle app. Already have an iPad mini? Don’t want an iPad mini? No problem. If you win the grand prize and don’t want the iPad mini, you can substitute that part of the prize for a $325 gift card to either Amazon or Barnes & Noble. That’ll buy a lot of books.

In addition, I’m giving away five runner-up prizes of a signed copy of Love Irresistibly. So what do you have to do to enter, you ask? It’s simple: spread the word about Love Irresistibly. Here are the details:

1. Post somewhere letting people know about the upcoming release of Love Irresistibly. (To be clear–you need to post about the book release, not just that I’m hosting a giveaway.) You can talk about the book on your blog, your website, on Facebook, Twitter (my Twitter name is @juljames, for those of you who want to get extra-super bonus points for including that). Don’t have a blog? Don’t tweet? No problem–you can post a comment on somebody else’s blog, or even on a message board.

2. Then, come back here and comment below with a link to wherever you’ve posted your qualifying blog/post/tweet/comment. This is important, as your comment below is your entry in the giveaway.

3. Please make sure your link works! If I can’t confirm you that you’ve posted/commented/blogged/whatever-ed about the book, you won’t be entered in the giveaway.

4. To qualify, your blog/comment/tweet must be new (meaning it must be posted starting March 26th).

5. For those of you who want to include details about Love Irresistibly in your post, a summary of the book can be found here and there’s an excerpt here. Oh–and there’s also a very cool video interview of me talking about the book here.

6. In order to give everyone who promotes my book an equal chance to win, I am limiting the giveaway to one entry per person. But feel free to spread the word far and wide about the release of Love Irresistibly regardless. : )

7. The contest is open until 10pm CST on Sunday, March 31, 2013. Everyone who correctly enters will be in the running for both the grand prize and the runner-up prizes. The giveaway is open internationally, and authors are eligible to win as well. Winners will be chosen at random from among eligible entries.

8. Special note for international entrants: Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t ship iPads outside the U.S. So, if the grand prize winner lives outside the U.S., I’ll substitute the iPad mini portion of the prize for a $325 gift certificate to either Apple.com or Amazon.com.

Thanks, everyone, for helping me spread the word about Love Irresistibly. And good luck to everyone who enters!
