March News from Lucy MonroeDear Reader, Have I got news for you! So much is going on and it’s all too fantastic! First off, I’m attending the Rose City Romance Reader’s Luncheon on April 17. The fabulous Jane Porter will be speaking this year and I’ll host an author table and sign books after like always. :) For information on registering, go to: http://www.rosecityromancewriters.com/special-events.html As many of you know, I’ll be attending the RT Convention in Columbus, OH April 28 to May 2. I’ll be speaking on two author panels and one industry panel and attending lots of the events.
Thurs 10 a.m. — Social Media However, I wanted to do something that gave readers (especially those coming into town just for the Book Fair) an opportunity to connect with me face-to-face in a less hectic environment. So,I’m coordinating a no-host get together right after the Book Fair on Saturday. I’ll be inviting a few of my author friends to join us and will select the venue once I know how many readers want to attend. Since this is not an RT sponsored event, you do not have to be a registered conference attendee to come, but conference goers are absolutely welcome! If you would be interested in coming, please email me at lucymonroe@lucymonroe.com with RT Get Together in the subject header. Thanks! And lest you think those of you staying home are going to be left out — no such thing! I am hosting the 1st ever Lucy Monroe’s Readers at Home Conference on my blog April 26-30, with 26 Special Guest Authors, cover model and hero inspiration posts, more than a dozen prizes drawn for daily and lots of your friends gathered in one place to talk books, talk romance, and have tons of fun! Pre-registered attendees are eligible for the special “Door Prize” drawings done daily. To register, send your name and mailing address to me at lucymonroe@lucymonroe.com with RAH Conference in the subject header. Easy, peasy, isn’t it? Just a quick reminder that my book, THE SICILIAN’S MARRIAGE ARRANGEMENT, is being re-released in a 2-in-1 single title as one of the launch books for Harlequin’s new Showcase imprint. The book will be available in the single title section of bookstores starting May 11th. If you missed your copy (or lost it), this is a great chance to get a new one, with a bonus book by Julia James included. :) I’m super pleased to have been chosen as one of their launch authors and hope this new venture into the single title market is a huge success! We’ve been chatting writing, reading and life on my blog and I hope you’ll stop by to add your thoughts. It’s all me, all the time now and I’m really enjoying this opportunity to connect with readers. Oh, and one last thing - per my publisher’s request (Kensington), I’ve created a Fanpage on Facebook. I’d rather it just said readers, or something, but we go with what they give us. There are over 1,000 members and I hope you’ll join the party. I share all my up to the minute news there! See, lots of truly neat things are happening and I’m hoping you’ll find one to your liking! Hugs, Lucy
