Lisa Kleypas Podcast and ARC Giveaway (Contest Now Closed)

posted Tuesday, 9 September 2008

Lisa Kleypas fans have two reasons to celebrate: Seduce Me at Sunrise, the author's new historical romance in her Hathaway family series, hits stores on September 30th and A Wallflower Christmas, a new novella, featuring the beloved title characters along with rakish Bowman brother Rafe and the companion he's not supposed to want, is out October 14th. (The links take you to nifty trailers for each book.)

Lisa talks about both of these new releases and more in our newest AAR podcast. To listen, just click the podcast icon on the above right and the 14-minute extravaganza will automatically download into your iTunes or into any the software you use to listen to audio files.

To celebrate the podcast and the upcoming Kleypas book bonanza, we're giving away a signed ARC of the upcoming hardback A Wallflower Christmas to a lucky reader. And, just to mix things up a bit and keep things interesting around here, you could have two chances to win. Here's how:

  • Just comment to this blog and you will be entered for a chance to win the ARC.
  • For a second chance to win, just download and listen to the podcast, then answer this question: Lisa likes to play The Casting Game just as many readers do. What actor does she think would be right to play Bad Boy Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent, in The Devil in Winter? All correct answers sent to aarblog@gmail.com by 11:59 pm eastern time Thursday will earn the poster yet another chance to win.

So, everybody straight? Comment to this blog for your first chance to win. If you answer the question correctly and send your answer to the email address above, you'll have a second chance to be selected as the winner by none other than Rufus the Cat, he of the eminent qualifications. A few disclaimers: Rufus does not succumb to cajoling and wheedling since he is a cat and everybody knows cats can't read. A total of two entries only per reader. Rufus and his mom must limit the contest to those who reside in the U.S. And, lastly, the entry deadline is 11:59 pm, eastern time on Thursday, September 11th.

Thanks to Lisa for taking the time at the busy National conference. I had fun. I hope you do, too.

Where Dreams Begin is one of my favorite comfort reads so I may have an actual addiction to her historicals. But I've been surprised at how much I've loved Sugar Daddy and Blue-Eyed Devil. If I don't win an ARC, you can be sure I'll be at the store they day Seduce Me at Sunrise is released.

I find it very interesting that I've only been reading Lisa for about a year or so. When Kristie J was raving about Dreaming of You she got me intrigued, I found the book, read it and devoured the rest of her backlist. So, yes, I would LOVE to win a copy of the ARC. :)
