Leigh Michaels and I are, once again, co-sponsoring the “Chase the Dream” contest for writers.

From now through March 1st, you can enter the first 1,000 words of your romance-themed novel and possibly land a book deal or agent! In 2009, we had hundreds of well-written entries, 8 talented finalists, and 8 promising mini-critique winners. And, once again, several of our finalists got book deals as a result of the contest!

It’s FREE! Enter today at http://chasethedreamcontest.wordpress.com.

Our judges include editors from Harlequin Kimani, Harlequin Spice, Grand Central Publishing (an imprint of Hachette Book Group), Sourcebooks, Harlequin Blaze, and Red Sage Publishing. Agents participating include BookCents Literary Agency, Elaine English, PLLC, and Bradford Literary Agency.

More are coming!

Last year, I was on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, discussing my fibroids. Check out the show below — then, stop by my blog and check out the details of my experience. I’ll be blogging more about this in upcoming weeks.
