Dear Readers,

Yes, half the year is already gone and retailers are eager to remind us that there are 153 days left to shop for Christmas. There’s nothing like being reminded that half the year in already gone, is there?  (No need to panic, but if you want to keep track of that holiday ticking clock here’s a link to a handy countdown website.)

As someone who loves the spirit of that holiday, I thought: why not let the gift giving begin?  Therefore, here are two new contests…

Christmas in July Contest

This is a quick one to start off the celebrations. From July 25th to midnight of July 27th, you have the chance to win a signed paperback copy of Angel Gets Her Wings and a goody bag of holiday treats. To enter, you must correctly answer these three questions:

1. Where is Flight 781 headed?

2. What is Sean Conlan’s nationality?

3. Is Stewardess Jeanie on the naughty or the nice side of Angel’s list?

You can find the answers in the book’s blurb on any of the following sites: Eternal Press, Amazon.com, or Barnes & Noble.com. Then, just email the answer to me at: katiecat.katduarte@gmail.com with “Christmas Contest” in the subject line.  All correct entries will be put into the drawing. The winner will be announced on Tuesday, July 28th.

Twelve Days of Christmas Goldie Contest

For the next twelve days, I’ll be gathering entries from those of you who purchase a copy of Goldie and the Three Bares, my latest story at Eternal Press. You have from now until August 6th to answer the questions below.  All correct entries will be put into a drawing for the grand prize: a 20″ decorative Santa, an angel ornament, and a Thomas Kincade “Village Christmas” nightlight. POSSIBLE BONUS: if I receive at least 25 entries, I’ll add a 12-pack of Starbucks Cafe Via (Colombia or Italian Roast, winner’s choice).

1. What is the dedication inside the book?

2. What is Goldie’s favorite drink from Starbucks?

3. Where did you purchase your copy of Goldie and the Three Bares?

4. Trynan, Artair or Leathan: which of the three men Goldie encounters is your favorite and why? (There are no right or wrong answers to this one, of course.)

Purchase your copy at any of the following sites: Eternal Press, Amazon.com, or Barnes & Noble.com. Then, just email the answer to me at: katiecat.katduarte@gmail.com with “12 Days Contest” in the subject line.  All correct entries will be put into the drawing. The winner will be announced on Monday, August 7th. Remember to tell your friends. The more entries the better the odds of getting that bonus added to the prize!

Good luck to all!
