Free Online Story, Winner, More Giveaways, Snow White and Grumpy!!!

I know, That's too much for a blog post title--but for those just cruising by, I didn't want you to miss out on anything. So, stop and hang for a few minutes while I take us through it.

I WAS going to excerpt Baby Steps some today (my novella in Mothers of the Year, out now from Superromance), but... It's I have something better to share, and if you go to my website (annawrites.com) and scroll down just a smidge and click Read an Excerpt below the Mothers of the Year cover, the first chapter's there for you.

to access "The Sheriff's Wife" -- a FREE Daily Read I did for Harlequin when my first "Daughter" book came out in 2004. The sheriff/hero in this twenty-segment online short story is a minor character in The Unknown Daughter, and he has a critical role in the last of that series, The Perfect Daughter (the entire out-of-print Daughter series is avialable via Amazon's used bookstore network, if you want to check it out). I'm soooo excited they have it up on eHarlequin again!!!

Also, if you're into the newer technology, in addition to each of my Superromances now being avialable in ebook format (Kindle, from Amazon, and also on eHarlequin--(http://ebooks.eharlequin.com/5D72FABA-85AC-4975-B89C-73065EB2BB2D/10/126/en/SearchResultsImprint.htm?SearchID=9747261&SortBy=date), in
2003 I participated in something called a Writing Round Robin contest Harlequin used to sponser. I didn't realize they were making these avaialable electronically, too, but I just found the one I "won" a chapter for. check it out:

Even if you don't partake of the electronic medium, you have to admit this is pretty cool ;o)

My randomly-drawn Snow White winner from the May 1st through May 5th post comments??? Jennifer Yates, who commented at 3:45 for the May the May 1st post. Keep leaving comments--I'll draw again, and the more times you name's in there the better chance you have to win. Two prizes up for grabs this time:

One randomly-drawn commenter for this or my next post will receive a plush set of Snow White AND Grumpy ;o)











Another... This great XL Grumpy T-shirt!!!












Okay, one final pic of Steve and Me... One of my favorites, because it looks like I might actually be posing for a yummy book cover (except what's going on with my hair, and my manly yoga hands and forearm...relax your hand, Anna!!!).

Thanks to everyone who commented on the last post, where I exposed just how little I know about what I was doing ;o) Someone mentioned actually interviewing Stelve--I think that's a GREAT idea! Maybe I could do a series of interviews with some of the great guys I've met in the business.

So, there 'tis. More stuff than one blog entry (certainly on title) should hold, but I'm a busy girl. We're all busy. No one has time to waste spreading content out, right?

Come back tomorrow--I'll give you a tasty, hot bite of my Winter Meltdown (the hot, hot, hot novella I'm writing for a Harlequin Single Title anthology release due to land in stores in Jan.). Plus, more RT photos (of model and author friends I met there). More winners... More prizes...

Now go read that free online story, if you didn't when it came out years ago...
