Welcome to my
1st annual
Buzz of Luv Contest
What is the Buzz of Luv Contest?
The Buzz of Luv Contest is a way to get buzz out (or in other words - people talking) about my new book, Second Kiss.
And since Second Kiss is a teen romance novel, what better time to hold the contest than right before Valentine's Day?
Who can participate in the Buzz of Luv Contest?
Girl Teens, Boy Teens, Parents of Teens, Siblings of Teens, Pets of Teens
and anyone else who wants a really cool prize!
Do I have to register?
Yep, but its easy. Just leave me a comment with your name
(first and at least your last initial)
and your score goal.
You can register anytime in the two week contest period.

Addendums to Contest Rules
Addendum 1:
vicki from iowa asked if it is okay that she and her daughter play as a team. to make it fair i'm opening this option up to everyone but i only have the one prize so you'll have to share. :)
Addendum 2:
okay in response to donna's comment - if you've done anything online on the BUZZ point list in the past few months you can count it. the only thing you can't count is "telling people about it" because that is more time consuming and you can't count everyone you've ever mentioned the book to in the past few months. but everything else can be counted because you can actually look at your facebook/email/blog accounts and see if you've already sent out messages about Second Kiss. And if you have, go ahead and count it. Make sense?
What a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteShhh ... you should check my blog--I forwarded an award to you.

ReplyDeleteAnother coworker is reading your book and loving it so far. =D
ReplyDeleteAnd dang--I've already done a bunch of those, but they were too soon to count. ; )
You know, I understand if a library receives two requests for a book they don't carry, they're supposed to order it ...

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I will be spreading the "buzz" for you! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGreat contest! I SO want to read your book but I haven't seen it anywhere for sale yet. I would love to join the fun! My goal is around 150 points but we shall see.

Ok, maybe I'm out of it but I can't figure out where to register, etc. I can say that I retweeted http://twitter.com/#!/Bookworm_Lisa/status/35121043865600000, I am a follower and I sent a request to my library to carry your book. That would be the Springville, Ut library and I filled out an online form. Thanks ke7yca at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteYour prize package is fabulous! I loved her first
ReplyDeletebook and would be thrilled to win Second Kiss...
