* 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!

It's been so fun to watch my blogger friends advance in their writing careers. Another one I know just got a publishing contract. So cool! Woo hoo on 300 followers! Maybe I'll win a book this time!

You are so welcome, Talli!

Thanks everybody!

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

Thanks for mentioning my blogfest. And congratulations! We both hit a big milestone this week.

Hart Johnson said...

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?)

The Old Silly said...

Nice shout out post, and great giveaway!

Jemi Fraser said...

Great contest Diane! You're such a sweetie! :)

I'm an old follower and I'll tweet for you!

VR Barkowski said...

Aw, thanks so much for the shout-out, Diane. And
CONGRATS on 300 followers. Wow!!!

Fabulous contest - count me in. I'm old and side-barring you. (I'm sure side-barring is in the dictionary, lol.)

The Words Crafter said...

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!

DL Hammons said...

I'm in! Or is it on? Attached? :)
