Found this while searching for yesterday’s yard sale funnies. I did not laugh. :crying

A FRIDAY FUNNY

I will be off today on my annual pilgrimage of our local 100 Mile Yard Sale.  Am I allowed to admit I’m not looking forward to this?  I mean, it’s a hundred miles.  In the middle of July.  I’m hot & tired just thinking about it. :knock

But while I’m gone, I thought I’d leave you with some yard sale funnies.  That way, you can at least be with me in spirit.

FREE BOOK FRIDAY

This week’s Free Book Friday offering is a title I picked up at a yard sale myself—my very own BEDDED THEN WED.  Yes, it’s true; I have a tendency to pick up my own books at yard sales & such when I see them, because you never know when a title will go out-of-print.  They also come in really handy whenever I run into somebody who has A.) never read a romance, B.) never read one of my books, or C.) still has that antiquated “oh, you write those little books” attitude about Harlequin romances.  Keep them in the car, toss one at them, & wait to hear back from them because I’ve changed their tune.  Yeah, bay-bee! :wink

So if you’d like to enter the giveaway for this book, simply leave a comment to today’s post that includes the code FBF—for “Free Book Friday,” of course—to let me know you’re interested in the drawing. (U.S. residents only for the prize, please, but everyone is welcome to chat.)

Winner will be announced during our Happy Sunday post on…well, you know, Sunday. Winner is responsible for contacting me with her mailing information—i.e. I will not be contacting you—so be sure to check back in or you might not even know you won! :crying (If prize isn’t claimed within 14 days, another name may be drawn or item may be tossed back into the goody bag to be re-used for a future giveaway.)

Since these blog posts tend to whiz by pretty quickly, I thought I’d give everyone another day to consider our “HER LITTLE SECRET, HIS HIDDEN HEIR Giveaway #1″ questions & enter for the prizes, if you like.

So here’s a refresher of the details:

PRIZES

Prize #1 — Why, an autographed copy of HER LITTLE SECRET, HIS HIDDEN HEIR, of course. You may already have a copy, but this one is going to be signed, for heaven’s sake. That makes it about a thousand times better, right? :eyelashes

Prize #2 — Chocolat on DVD. Johnny Depp, Juliette Binoche, smoldering sexual tension, & oodles of yummy chocolate dripping all over the place. What hot-blooded girl could resist? (Not I…I bought a copy for myself at the same time I picked up a copy for this giveaway. *g*)

Prize #3 — A batch of goodies baked by Yours Truly. Yes, it’s true, I will bake for you. And better yet, I’ll let you pick what I bake for you. Winner will get to choose from four options: Chocolate Peanut Butter Pinwheels; Banana Nut Cookies; E.T. Cookies (chocolate cookie with Reese’s Pieces); or Coconut Mounds cookies.

Question #1 — HER LITTLE SECRET, HIS HIDDEN HEIR is my [X]th Silhouette/Harlequin release. (Hint: It’s a number. *g*)
