Jessica's also running a contest for those who help get the word out!
THE AMERICAN TITLE V CONTEST HAS BEGUN!
The American Title contest is a joint project between Romantic Times Magazine and Dorchester Publishing. Each year, Dorchester selects a handful of submissions to compete for a publishing contract, and YOU, the readers, get to choose the winner.
To spread the word about the contest, finalist Jessica Darago (author of The Serpent's Tooth, a gothic historical), is raffling a $10 bookstore gift certificate to anyone who copies this message into his/her own blog. You don't have to vote for Jessica, or vote at all, to win. (But Jessica sure hopes you will!)
The winner may choose a gift certificate from Amazon, Powells, Fictionwise, or even iTunes (because audiobooks deserve love too).
To enter, copy this message to your own blog and leave a link to your post at http://justjayj.livejournal.com/259245.html
To vote for Jessica, send a blank email to votes@romantictimes.com with "The Serpent's Tooth" in the subject line.
Visit Jessica at http://justjayj.livejournal.com for more information and a link to read all of the American Title entries.
