Sexy, huh? I love it! Huge thanks to artist Angela Anderson and my awesome editor, Karen Welwyn at The Wilder Roses.
But so this isn't a complete repeat...I'm toying with contest ideas for Full Disclosure's release week, and I have two questions for our loyal blog readers. Do you like contests where you have to participate beyond posting a comment? What if you had to write a brief (1 paragraph or less) anecdote to win? And what sorts of prizes do you like? Would you rather a gift certificate to an ebook store or do you prefer book PDFs? Maybe another type of prize altogether? I'm eager for anyone's feedback, as I'm a little out of my depth here!
Oh, and before I go...a big shout out to my lovely CP, Tara, who does all the work to keep this blog looking fresh and pretty. Isn't she awesome?
Back to my writing cave...

Hey Cari,
I'm not much help with the contests thing. I'm terrible about asking for a "comment" because I know people are uncomfortable sharing.
Anyhoo...I can't wait for your story!!!
Cari - it must be something in the weather or the time of the year but I seem to be really bussy too. I'm not doing NaNo though. Good luck with those edits.
I think most readers like book prizes, although it's more difficult with a first book because you really want people to buy your release rather than wait to try and win it. What you could do is give away a friend's book as a prize - someone from your chapter or a book you've enjoyed reading. I often get readers to go to my website, read an excerpt and answer a question. I'm mean - I make them work for their prize or at least read my excerpt.
I think people like free downloads, but I agree with Shelley -- don't do that with a first release. I've had pretty good luck with BN cards. All readers love those!
Well, since you're selling to TWRP--you should give a GC to TWRP, imho. LOL! But that's just me! I'm glad you're sharing the cover with the masses, I was DYING sitting on that thing!! LOL
And I'm all for WORKING for your win. ;) Trivia maybe?
And *mauh* Glad you like the new look---you know me, it'll be diff next month--okay, maybe Dec. Nov's going to be insane!!
As a big reader, and aspiring writer, I think I'd like the easy download. But these writers here giving advice are so much more experienced and know more than I can imagine. So I'd listen to them.
