Blog Tour Commences Monday!

Posted on October 14, 2011 by Annie Rayburn/Carol Burnside

Squeeeeee, cheers, fist pumps and a Snoopy dance! I’m doing a blog tour and I want you to join me for fun and prizes all next week. Here’s the scoop:

Several of my Georgia writing friends have either Indie published or support Indie publishing to the extend we’ve formed a group we call the GRI or Georgia Romance Indies. Starting this Monday, October 17th, I’ll kick off the first GRI blog tour to promote my work. Since this is October and Phantoms & Fantasies begins on Halloween–a holiday which has a special significance for Zeenie (the heroine)–it will figure prominently in the tour. At least one copy of  Phantoms & Fantasies will be given away every day!

Here’s our Georgia Romance Indies’ Tour schedule:

Monday – Pamela V. Mason reviews Phantoms & Fantasies on WriterMason.blogspot.com

A copy of is also being given away in The Romance Studio’s Book-a-Day Giveaway!

Tuesday – Tami Brothers will interview me at TamiBrothers.blogspot.com. Read what I have to say about the hunks in my books and the males inhabiting my home.

Double whammy Tuesday: I’m also blogging on Petit Fours And Hot Tamales so there will be extra giveaways. Comment both places for an extra entry into the Grand Prize drawing!

Wednesday – Come read a hot excerpt from Phantoms & Fantasies on Sandra McGregor’s new blog, Life, Love, and a Good Book

Thursday – An interview with Turk, the hunky hero in Phantoms & Fantasies on Mary Marvella’s Pink Fuzzy Slipper Writers blog

Friday– Linsey Lanier’s blog will host a fun game of Spin the Bottle, which Crainy would YOU kiss?

Saturday – I will choose a grand prize winner from all the comments throughout the week right here on October 22nd! Because my books all revolve around matters of the heart, the grand prize will be a beautiful collection of semi-precious heart pendants and necklaces encased in their own wooden jewelry box. I’ve received one of these collections from a Secret Santa one year and just love it! (Sorry, USA shipping only.)

Don’t miss out on this tour. You never know, there might be additional prizes thrown in at the last minute. I’ll draw a winner from each day’s comments, but your name will be in the Grand Prize drawing for every day that you comment. Comment every day of the tour and your name goes in the Grand Prize drawing six (yes, 6) times!

See you there!

Tuesday’s Tidbits

Posted on September 20, 2011 by Annie Rayburn/Carol Burnside

I swear, I’ve been so scatter-brained lately! Perhaps it’s the rotator cuff injury that has me off my game. I know it has me away from the computer more than usual. MRI is next on the agenda since physical therapy did little good. I got good drugs from the doc today. 😀

Yesterday, I blogged on PFHT and completely forgot to mention it here. Mea culpa. I did post info on it to Twitter and Facebook, but here…nada.  😦

I’m up to my eyeballs in kitchen remodel plans. Paint, countertops and tiled backsplash decisions all up in the air. I’ve ordered a new gas cooktop, bought a new chandelier and a few accessories too. Electrician is scheduled for the end of the week to add small recessed lights around the room. Will update as it develops and show before/after pics when it’s finished.

So…what’s new with you?

Nothing much to tell, so I’ll make this brief. I’m blogging today at PFHT and letting my frustrations out while I’m at it. Come on over and see what’s got me steamed! It might be something that pushes your buttons too.
