Party Time!!!

[patinagle16]

It's been a long time coming, and a lot of work.  I'm absolutely delighted to announce that Book View Café, the author-owned publishing cooperative of which I'm a member, is at last celebrating the opening of our new, completely-redesigned bookstore!

Party Favors!  We're giving our readers chances to win the book of their choice from BVC's catalog!  Just take a look around the store anytime up until midnight, June 8, and choose the book you’d like—all the books that are eligible for the giveaway are marked with a gold star. Then come back here and leave a comment with the name and author of the book and why you want it (we may use that comment for publicity purposes). When the promotion ends, I'll announce a winner here and that winner will get a coupon for the book s/he chose.

Books on Sale:  for the Grand Opening, I've got two titles on sale at $2 off the list price, Immortal and Glorieta Pass.  Use coupon codes IM-GO and GP-GO to get the discounts.  Most BVC anthologies are also on sale, half price, for the celebration.

Full details (and another chance to win a book) are available at the BVC Grand Opening Celebration page. Check it out!

New Bookstore Contest

[ellie march (from livejournal.com)]

The Spanish Marriage by Madeleine Robins sounds right up my alley. A woman trying to escape to (what I believe is) her homeland finds a way, but at a cost: marriage to a man she has (essentially) just met. Of course there will be fights in order to get her there safely, and love looks to be on the horizon. Congratulations on the new store!

Thanks! I love Madeleine's Regencies, though I haven't yet read The Spanish Marriage.

There's a giveaway? Sweet!
I was hoping to find Heart of the Exiled, so I could catch up, but it's not there. However, "What Ho, Automaton" by Chris Dolley sounds like a fun romp.
Congrats on the new store! Lots of good stuff in there.

Heart of the Exiled is not a BVC book, so it's not part of the party, alas. What Ho, Automaton is a great choice! I laughed all the way through it.

I choose Coyote Ugly

[karen anderson (from livejournal.com)]

Because this short story collection promises a little bit of everything, from science fiction and fantasy to mystery and romance.
