* 300 FOLLOWERS GIVEAWAY! *

It’s been yet another crappy summer with my mom in the hospital and several trips across the country. I’ve written next to nothing and some days even failed to check my blog.

But by some miracle, I have finally hit 300 followers!

Thank you, everyone. Spunky’s been a bad bloggy friend and commenter, but I am trying to get back into the groove. Hate it when I lose my groove!

How can I top my 200 followers giveaway? I gave away all five books of my series last time!

This time, instead of one winner, there will be three!!!

TO ENTER:
Leave a comment with your email address.
New followers - 1 point
Old followers - 3 points
Tweet, Sidebar, or other mention - 5 points

Three winners will be drawn at random. First person gets their choice of three books, second gets choice of two, and third gets choice of one. Sound fair?

This giveaway is open from today until September 26. Winners will be announced on the 28th.

Good luck and thank you everyone!

  10. Great list of links this week! I knew about a couple, but several I didn't. And now I have the Lumberjack song in my head... it's responsible for my love of cross-dressers, you know... (and my theory about the death eaters... long story)

    So... old follower and I am Tweeting... (what's that, 9?)

  14. It is very difficult when you have an ill loved one...been there, done that.

    So, you shouldn't worry overmuch when you miss some days. And I understand about losing the groove. Blogging makes me feel connected and productive and creative....I'm glad it's working again. Your groove...

    Congratulations on the 300 milestone, wow!
