Buzz About a Book & A Contest

A marketing assistant has contacted me about a special contest for the release of ASK AGAIN LATER by Jill A. Davis.


Here's what she sent me:

Thanks again for agreeing to review THE WINTER ROSE. I’m working on a campaign for another book that I think your readers might be interested in. Details are below:
'
Forget a mid-life crisis --- Emily, the main character in Jill A. Davis’ novel ASK AGAIN LATER (HarperCollins; trade paperback; on-sale January 29th), is having a quarter-life crisis. Emily has a tendency to live with one foot out the door, so for her the best thing about a family crisis is the excuse to cut and run. When her mother announces they've found a lump, Emily gladly takes a rain check on life to be by her mother's side, leaving behind her career, her boyfriend, and those pesky, unanswerable questions about who she is and what she's doing with her life.But back in her childhood bedroom, Emily realizes that she hasn't run fast or far enough. One evening, Emily opens the door, quite literally, to find her past staring her in the face. How do you forge a relationship with the father who left when you were five years old? As Emily attempts to find balance on the emotional see-saw of her life with the help of two hopeful suitors and her Park Avenue princess sister, she takes a no-risk job as a receptionist at his law firm and slowly gets to know the man she once pretended was dead.

Jill A. Davis is the New York Times bestselling author of GIRLS’ POKER CLUB and was an Emmy-nominated writer for The David Letterman Show. The hardcover edition of ASK AGAIN LATER debuted on the New York Times bestseller list and was featured as an Entertainment Weekly Must Have. I hope you will consider reviewing or discussing ASK AGAIN LATER on your site.

On February 14th, a date easy to remember for booklovers, readers can win a trip to New York City and a $1000 American Express Gift Card. More details will be available on February 14th and I would be happy to send you a link when the contest is live.

*Sounds like fun! I also have the ARC on the way. But, don't forget, MAGIC LOST, TROUBLE FOUND gets reviewed right here on Valentine's Day too!

EDIT TO ADD: Ahhhh! I'm' reviewing ARMED & MAGICAL by Lisa Shearin on Valentine's Day! MAGIC LOST was her debut novel. I reviewed that, like, a year ago, I think. Fabulous Cyber-Launch Party too.
