Go! I'm off tomorrow for the ACFW conference. I'm really looking forward to concentrating on writing, hanging out with friends, meeting with my agent and new editor. So I won't be back till next week. In the mean time, I wanted to remind you about the contest I'm running. Wouldn't you like a chance to win $50?

To celebrate Lookin’ Back, Texas coming out, I’m running a contest! You have the chance to win a $50 prepaid card that could be used at most grocery stores, book stores or even gas stations! (Man, we could all use a little relief in that area, couldn’t we?) Here’s the lowdown:

For bloggers: Post information on your blog about Lookin’ Back, Texas. I can email you the cover. Below you’ll find a catchy blurb. You can even link to the trailer on youtube.com.

For non-bloggers (and those of you wondering what a blog is): Send an email to ten friends about Lookin’ Back, Texas. You can use the blurb below and also refer them to my website (www.leannaellis.com).

Then let me know (leanna@leannaellis.com) you’ve posted the information on your blog or sent out 10 emails and I’ll put your name in a drawing for the possibility to win a $50 prepaid card. Please provide your snail mail address. The drawing will be held Oct. 24th (my birthday!). The winner will be notified via email.

If you want to enter more than once, that’s okay! Just send out 10 more emails. If your friends want to enter, that’s okay too! Odds of winning depend on the number of entries. No purchase is necessary. And buying my book won’t increase your odds of winning (but will give me a happy smile and you some enjoyment).

Lookin’ Back, Texas

September 2008
A devoted wife and mother must return to her hometown of Luckenbach, Texas to help her mother plan her father’s funeral. Trouble is – he isn’t dead! And neither are the secrets she buried there years ago.

Email me at leanna@leannaellis.com to let me know you’ve posted/emailed or if you want a .pdf file of the cover. Thanks so much!
