Sandy’s Musings

By Sandra Edwards

Well, it’s almost time to name the second winner in my $100 Gift Card Giveaway. There’s still time to enter before May’s winner is chosen. If you read my books, you could easily win $100. Check it out!

I’ve got two new releases coming out next month. Glamour Girl and Party Girl. They’re books two and three in the West Coast Girlz trilogy. These are short novellas that I’m using to fill the space between novel length releases. I’m still hoping to release Hot Commodity by late summer/early fall–if my muse cooperates.

Here’s a sneak peek at the covers for Glamour Girl and Party Girl.

$100 Gift Certificate Giveaway!

By Sandra Edwards

I’ve decided to run A MONTHLY CONTEST for all my readers out there!

MONTHLY GRAND PRIZE: $100 gift certificate from Amazon, BN or iTunes (winner’s choice).

TO ENTER: all you need to do is LEAVE A REVIEW for one (or all) my books AT AMAZON.COM. The review can be GOOD or BAD, it doesn’t matter to me. Just leave a review giving your opinion of the book.

After posting your review at Amazon, for more entries, post your review anywhere else online that you can think of (i.e., BN.com, iTunes, Goodreads, etc.), then send me a message (via Facebook or email) and let me know where you posted the review.

PLEASE NOTE: To enter the contest YOU MUST LEAVE A REVIEW AT SOME PLACE OTHER THAN HERE on my blog or as a comment on my Facebook wall. If you post a review at Amazon, BN and/or iTunes…and you want to leave a review in a comment here or as a post on my Facebook wall (to collect more entries), I’m okay with that–but in order for reviews left here and at Facebook to count, YOU MUST ALSO LEAVE A REVIEW AT Amazon, BN and/or iTunes.

PLEASE NOTE: YOU MUST LEAVE A REVIEW OF AT LEAST TWENTY (20) WORDS (BASED ON AMAZON’S GUIDELINES) FOR YOUR REVIEW TO QUALIFY AS AN ENTRY.

PLEASE NOTE: TO BE ENTERED IN THE CONTEST, YOU MUST CONTACT ME TO LET ME KNOW YOU’VE LEFT A REVIEW (please include the sites where you’ve posted the review so I can calculate the correct number of entries for you). You can leave the information in a comment here, on my Facebook wall, or send it to me via email (sandra1@sandrawrites.com).

For each review, you’ll get one entry per site where you’ve posted the review. So, the more places you post, and the more books you review, the more chances you have to win! Posting your review to online bookstores like Amazon.com, BN.com and the iBookstore gets two entries per review.

If you’ve already posted a review for any of my books at Amazon, BN, etc., just message me and let me know where the reviews are posted and you’ll be entered into the contest.

First round of the contest ends April 30th. Winner will be chosen via Random.org. Winner will be notified via email, and will be announced on my Facebook fan page and at my website by May 10th.

For subsequent months, the contest will end on the last day of the month and the winner will be announced by the 5th of the following month. You only need to enter each review once. Your information will remain in the “pot” until you win!

For the latest news on the contest, visit my fan page on Facebook.

Disclaimer: A positive review is not necessary to win. Contest may end at any time. In the event the contest is cancelled, a prize will be issued for the month in which cancellation takes place, and will officially end the following month.

Good Luck!

Sandy

Vanity License Plates

By Sandra Edwards

You can tell a lot about a person’s personality by the way they choose to customize their license plates. While running errands today, I saw one that read IMLUVED. While that’s all fine and well—I mean, everybody wants to be loved—but I’d rather see a cool personalization than a sentimental one.

I know, that sounds odd coming from a “romance” author, huh? You’d think I’d like plates that read 4MYLUV or HONEYPOO (if you’ve ever seen the movie Cool World, you’ll get that last one). Now don’t get me wrong, I like happy endings just as much as the next girl. I just have a different idea about how to get there.

I dated a guy once (in another life that I like to call…before marriage), he had this souped-up Trans Am with a license plate that read ARRESTME.

Now that was a great license plate. :D

I had a neighbor once, a girl, whose chosen profession I’m not entirely sure of, but I do have my suspicions because the tags on her Corvette said 4MYSINS. I’m sure you know where my mind’s at with that one—in the gutter. Heh.

Unfortunately, I don’t see many “cool” plates in northern Nevada these days. Although, my hubby and I did see one a couple months ago that read 14THBCH on a Beamer. Hubby said it was “one for the beach”, but I’d prefer to think it’s “one for the bitch”.

Another license plate I remember from years ago was on a beat-up, older model sedan that read: FUKU2. That one gets a snorting laugh out of me every time I think about it.

Since I love all things time travel, I have to mention the OUTATIME plate that’s on the DeLorean in Back to the Future. That gets a thumbs up in my book.

And who wouldn’t think RCKNROLL is cool on a ’57 Chevy? Hubby and I saw that at a car show once. That’s how I know the particulars of the car. If my hubby had a vanity plate, I think it’d read CARCRAZY. He says, more like NOTGUILTY. He thinks he’s funny.

I saw a guy in a nondescript sedan once with the tags BRSTLVR. Bet he got lots of dates! Not.

If I ever decide to get personalized plates (and I’d have to have a really cool car before I did that. Maybe a retro Camaro), I’d want one that says CRAZYFOOL or maybe CRZY4U (In honor of my first Indie published book Crazy For You).

Guess it’s true—they don’t call ‘em vanity plates for nothing!

Hello world!

By Sandra Edwards

Well, I’ve ventured into the world of blogging. Seeing as how I’m the Queen of Procrastination, we’ll see how long it takes me to actually blog about something!

In the meantime, links to my books in the Kindle Store are to the right. If you use another e-reader, more info about other sales outlets are available at My Website.
