Two Best Buds, Two Blogs, Two Free Books….

Posted on May 22nd, 2006 by Donna

Good Morning, Blog Babes (and Dudes…although, personally, I think guys are total babes, but maybe that’s just me.)

You know who I think is another total babe? My best bud and sister of the heart, Jill Shalvis.

Why do I bring this up, you ask? Well, this week’s SHaQ Attack involves Jill. As it happens, we both have books coming out JUNE 1st! So, to celebrate, we decided it would be fun to combine our book giveaways this week.

Here’s how it works: You’ll have to answer two questions this week to win. Answers can be found on our respective websites. (Not hard, I promise!!) I’ll post one question here, then you’ll have to head to Jill’s blog to get the other question. Email BOTH answers to me! (Instructions below.) We’ll draw two winners on Friday from all the correct answers. Each winner will get a signed copy of both the June books!

My NOT SO SNOW WHITE

…and Jill’s AUSSIE RULES!

Sound like fun?

Okay, here is my question: We both wrote for Loveswept early in our careers. Just like this year, when both NOT SO SNOW WHITE and AUSSIE RULES hit the shelves at the same time, way back in the dark ages, we both had a Loveswept out the same month, too.

Your mission? Figure out the two titles and what month/year they came out.

Now…Head over to JILL’S BLOG and get the other question. Then you can begin the hunt for the answers. Woot! (You can also click on the link to Jill’s website in the right hand column of this blog, under Writer Buds, to get there anytime!)

Again - the answers are on our websites, you need look no further than that. Promise!

When you’re done, email BOTH answers to me at donna@donnakauffman.com (because, you know, I’m the organized one. ) with “I GOT IT!” in the subject line. We’ll both post the answers and the names of the winners on Friday morning.

Have fun! :)

    But I’m not supposed to be blogging today. I’m gonna get in trouble. *gg*

  4. Donna // May 22, 2006 at 10:06 am

    Ahhhhh…. So I’m aiding and abetting…

    Sorry!! :) Blame it on me. Or better yet, blame it on Jill! Yeah, that’s the ticket!

Anyway here is my answers to the contest… (edited out your answers - you gotta mail them to me so no one else sees them. :) I entered you in the drawing, thanks for playing!! ~ Donna)

    This is fun and might I say the most exciting drama I can handle on this Mon morning. Thanks for doing this Jill and Donna

  10. Donna // May 22, 2006 at 2:31 pm

    I’m glad you’re all enjoying our crazy game!

    And welcome to all the new folks - stick around awhile, we’re a fun bunch! :)

    Thanks, Donna for doing this with you best bud. I think I’ve read some of your books but not lately. Too much other stuff to do like sleeping. I’m not kidding either. I fall asleep almost as soon as my head hits the pillow. But I rarely get restful sleep. I guess part of me remembers that I’d rather be reading.

  12. ruby55 // May 22, 2006 at 6:01 pm

    P.S. I’ve been trying to figure out your lovely picture. Is the pinkish item on the right-hand side a tongue or a finger?

  13. Caitlin // May 22, 2006 at 6:04 pm

    Double the fun this week! I am going to give this a try..

  14. Barbara // May 22, 2006 at 6:11 pm

    Cool contest.

    Already have both books but I think I will play for fun….just to see if I can get the right answer. Love a challenge.

    Have a good week.

  15. Donna // May 22, 2006 at 6:26 pm

    Hi Ruby!

    I hear you on the sleep thing. :)

    The pink thing is just the tip of a petal to another flower - they did kind of crop the picture funny!

    Hi Donna,

    It’s my first time on your blog, but not your website. I do bother Jill everyday, just ask her. lol

    I can’t wait for Not So Snow White. I’ve been keeping track of the release date. I’m sure it will be as good as all of your others.

  17. Donna // May 22, 2006 at 9:23 pm

    Thanks Gena! I hope you enjoy it. :)

  18. K.H // May 22, 2006 at 11:49 pm

    This contest is awesome! I have read one of your stories with Jill but nothing else. I have seen your books in the store (the Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty) and added them to my must read list- I plan on getting them as soon as I get some time for myself to hibernate in a bookstore for atleast 2 hours. lol

  19. Pat // May 22, 2006 at 11:50 pm

    Julie, You will LUV BB In Kilts. And there is another coming out next year with the 4th brother. YUM.

    Great contest, by the way.

  20. pam // May 23, 2006 at 1:13 am

    Nice giveaway with the two of you. Just got my copy of BB in Kilts, Pat, sure I’m going to luv those brothers, too!

  21. Dena // May 27, 2006 at 10:52 am

    I think by doing this contest together you have expanded your readership with each others fans. cool I hope you will do more together.
