Diana DeRicci

So in the near and far future, I have a few things that I’m going to be taking part in. In February, I’ll taking part in The Romance Studio’s Valentine’s Day party. This runs from February 10 thru February 14th. I’ll be popping in out with more than a hundred other authors so I hope you’ll come join us. The link is http://trsparties.com/ and mayhem will be sure to ensue!

Then in May, I’ll be taking part in my first blog hop. Yep, my very first one. But this one is for a very good cause and has some wonderful authors already signed up to participate. The blog hop is Hop Against Homophobia, and runs from May 17 thru the 20th. Just a few of the authors already signed up are Andrew Grey, NJ Nielsen, Angel Martinez, JP Bowie, Erica Pike and K-Lee Klein. There’s over fifty already so it’s sure to be a wonderful hop! So I hope you’ll join us in May for this one.

That’s all the newsy bits I have for the moment. I should have more information in the coming weeks on more releases and appearances.

January is my birthday month! Now a gentleman wouldn’t ask my age, and I sure ain’t tellin’. LOL

But to celebrate it, I want to give away goodies! A swag bag a day. Super easy stuff, right? At the end of the month, I’ll be drawing a name for a Kobo Ereader and case. Just in case Santa wasn’t listening when you sent in your Christmas list….

Here’s how you can win AKA Da’ Rulz:

1. Must be a member of Diana’s Sizzlers List. (A low volume Newsletter/announcement list) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Dianas_Sizzlers_List/
2. One name will be drawn via Random.org every day from January 1st through January 31st. The name will be announced on the loop and direct contact, and the winner will have 48 hours from the timestamp of the sent email to claim their prize or it will be forfeit. All claims need to be made direct via email, not through the Loop or Facebook, or any other extraneous means. Email will be included in the winner’s announcement and notification.
3. All registered emails on Diana’s Sizzlers List must be able to receive email, as these are the only means all winners will be contacted.
4. Replies must have BIRTHDAY CONTEST in the subject to ensure it is spotted and not dumped as spam.
5. At the end of the giveaway month, a name will be drawn via Random.org from all names registered with Diana’s Sizzlers List. The chosen winner will have 48 hours to respond and claim or a new winner will be chosen.
6. Each person is eligible to win one goodie/swag bag. All persons are eligible for the Kobo giveaway.
7. Due to legal issues and book rights, Contest is open to United States and Canadian residents only.
8. Postage is paid by the supplier for all prizes. All winners must have a valid mailing address to receive any and all prizes.
9. Supplier is not responsible for damaged, lost or misdirected prizes. All efforts will be made to ensure you receive any winnings.

So now that the legal junk is out of the way, we’re going to have a great time come January!

And don’t forget, for every twenty readers on the loop, I’m giving away a backlist of any PDF copy of either name to a lucky winner. When we get to 100, I’m drawing for a print book! (Not a part of the Birthday Contest, but heck, who doesn’t like free books?)

Releasing December 17: Together! Part of the MLR Press Christmas series

Also, newly arrived for release early next year: Tougher to Love

And a new contract to celebrate! GLITTER, Josh and Laurence’s story from the Beach Duo books!  Booyah!

Thanks to all the apps and programs out there, there is now the Kindlegraph, a digital page signing program for ebooks. If you have Kindle ebooks and would like an autograph, or a sentiment page, or a momento… You get it *wink*, then hit this link –> http://kindlegraph.com/authors/DianaCastilleja

It’ll take you to all my books, including the DeRicci line. It shouldn’t take more than 24 hours for a respone. I’m pretty quick to get these out. And I’d love to get one to you!

A new loop debut!

Hey everyone! I’m debuting my new author’s loop DIANA’S SIZZLERS LIST. For the debut, I’m giving away an ebook title for every 20 who sign on, and when I reach 100, I’ll give away a print book. So, that’s six chances to win just for signing up! Check out the front page for the details of the loop. It’s not going to be insane or anything (Well, maybe a little *grin*), but I hope you’ll come join me.
