Last chance to win a copy of The Phoenix or Counterpoint

I FINALLY figured out how to post something here!

One print copy of The Phoenix and one print copy of Counterpoint: Dylan's Story will go to the winners of the Romancing the Book contest accompanying the interview with me. With shipping so high, I regretfully have to limit the books to folks in the US and Canada, but bookmarks are light and I'll send them anywhere. One day left!

Go to:

http://www.romancing-the-book.com/sea...

To enter the contest for print copies of Counterpoint: Dylan's Story and The Phoenix, you first need to leave a comment or question for Ruth. Then to finish your entry, you must either leave your email address in your comment or send a message to:
contests.bookblog@gmail.com (sorry. I couldn't get it to make a click through link)

If you'd like one of the 25 bookmarks up for grabs, just send a message to the same email address and include your mailing address. The first 25 responses will get a bookmark. And the book winners will be announced on Sunday, September 5.

Mainstream reviews for Counterpoint: Dylan's Story!!!

I haven't posted anywhere for quite a while, due to family stuff a.k.a. Real Life, but I wanted to pop in with something that pleased me. My reviews for Counterpoint: Dylan's Story have been fabulous so far, but they were all people and reviewers in the gay romance genre field. You can't help wondering how well a mainstream reviewer w...ould view the book when you are reviewed only by your own genre, whether it's SF, fantasy, erotica or what have you.

In the last couple of weeks, I've had the pleasure of have two mainstream reviews:
one will be published in the Historical Novel Review. The magazine won't be out for a while due to delays, but I saw the tearsheet, and it's a short but very, very good review, though it unfortunately has a major spoiler.

The other is online at Feathered Quill http://www.featheredquill.com/histori... -- where it's listed in two categories: Historical, and Romance
It, too, is a terrific review and fairly long.

I love my genre readers and reviewers to pieces, but it's a warm and fuzzy feeling to get mainstream reviews, too. The first ones I've had for a novel.
