Do You Believe? The Win a Kindle Contest is LIVE!





I know you all have been waiting all day for this, but you have to know that first I'm going to make you wade through the tacky promo stuff, cuz, yanno, that's my job. :)

Believe

Once, Virginia believed in the power of love, and the inexplicable magic of Christmas Miracles.

Now the man who was supposed to be the love of her life has turned around and bit her in the ass. Again. On the brink of losing her beloved Victorian cottage to her ex and his soon to be wife, Virginia flees her hometown to spend Christmas as far away from the usual festivities as she can possibly get.

When her Cessna encounters a freak storm, her plane goes down fast. When she comes to in the arms of the man of her dreams, she can hardly believe her good luck. That is until Mr. Wonderful tells her that he is Santa Claus, and she is destined to be his wife. Now the love Virginia has only dreamed of stands before her, ready to make her his bride.

She need only say "I believe..."


Listed below are the rules for those readers want to play "Do You Believe" to win their very own Amazon Kindle e-book reader.

1) Entries will be accepted from the second this blog post goes live through Dec. 15, 2008,11:59 PM EST and/or after 150 entries...which ever comes first. I will announce the contest close on the blog.

2) All entrants will answer the following questions about my story, Believe, and email them to starmuse23@gmail.com , using the subject line "Yes, I believe"

Please,DO NOT POST ENTRIES ON THE BLOG COMMENTS SECTION! Any entry that ends up in comments will be deleted so that others can play fair and square. I know, that stinks, but I don't know how else to make it fair.

3) Entries will be sorted in order of the timestamp as they were received in my inbox.

4)All correct entries will be tallied on December 15. Three winning entries will be drawn by a blindfolded DH from those responses. If you've ever seen a Navy SEAL in a blindfold, you'll understand why this step is so crucial. *g* In the event of a timestamp tie, a run off round will be sent to the tied finalists. The first ones to answer that round correctly will be the winners.

5)Each entry shall contain the answers to the following ten questions, the contestants name and a valid email address.
* What crime sent Nikolai to the gallows?

* What is the name of Nikiolai's personal assistant?

* How long has Nikolai gone without making love to a woman?

* What culinary creation is Bartlesby busy creating as Virginia spies on he and Nikolai from the dumbwaiter?

* What is Virginia's ex husband's name?

* What does Nikolai make out of snow to prove his magic and impress Virginia?

* What does Virginia do to the reindeer after she runs away from Nikolai's castle?

* What Christmas wish does Virginia make instead of choosing to stay with Nikolai forever?

* Why is Nikolai compelled to make that wish come true?

* Who is the cover artist for Believe?


3) Winners and runners up will be announced on my blog on Dec. 16th, 2008 unless a tie round is necessary. Then all winners will be announced on Dec. 17.

4)Prizes are as follows:

2nd Runner Up- A ten dollar amazon.com gift certficate and a mighty bright book light.

That's it. Now, go have fun. And check back here all month for more contests that don't make you buy the darn book. You know, cuz those of us who are too broke to buy books ought to have a little holiday fun, too. :)

Okay! Looks like fun, so I'll go buy the story.

If I win, could I please have the SEAL in the blindfold?

ROFL, Valerie! You know there are days I'd fed ex him to you, no return address. Thanks for your support. I truly appreciate it and hope you enjoy the book. :)

You bet! Just downloaded it. I'm finishing Paige Tyler's Protective Custody, then Believe is up next!

I just finished reading Believe (when I should have been working) and I all I can say is "WOW!" What a great story!

Ironically I am not sure I want a Kindle... but I will tell you this. I want to read that book. Can't wait to get home to download even though I am tempted to at work. I love Santa Claus stories (I always imagined him hot and scultped instead of round and jolly.) and this one sounds hot.

Liane Gentry Skye said...

Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed the story, Jason. Kindly excuse me while I run outside and scream YES! to the top of my lungs. :)

Liane Gentry Skye said...

Thanks, Marnie. I hope you enjoy the story, and hope you'll stick around for some of the other prizes and giveaways this month. Thank you!

Just wanted to say that I love your website and to thank you for your support of the cause of Autism. My daughter has Juvenile Diabetes and I'm always looking for was to raise money for research for a cure. So, I always try to support authors who donate to worthy causes.

Happy Holidays!
