August Guest and Giveaway!!!
Well, hellllooooooo all, Lani here. I am, at this moment, neither hungover nor jet-lagged so I say Atlanta was a great success! I still haven't come down from the high of watching our lovely Alesia snag that Rita, but I just had to step in today to announce our August guest and giveaway because it's sofreakingcoolyouwon'tbelieveit!!!
And our guest for the month is the lovely, the talented, the Queen of Oh-my-god-if-you-haven't-read-her-books-go-get-them-NOW-land...
Joshilyn and I go back aways. We first met through a fabulous group called Momwriters, and since we were both new authors for Warner, we bonded over the whole "What is this all about?" gestalt of being a new writer.
Joshilyn since, of course, has gone on to major bestsellerdom and is a critical darling. Her first book, gods in Alabama, is one of my favorite books to this day and I'm so looking forward to getting into her newest release, Between, Georgia which promises to be almost as good - or maybe even better. Although I can't imagine that, if anyone can top Joshilyn, it would have to be Joshilyn!
All right, you say? Enough gushing? Get to the giveaway? Well, fine, here we go...
Joss is graciously giving us two signed hardcovers of Between and two signed copies of the brand-spanking-new paperback version of gods, so be sure to get your e-mails in with "Joshilyn's a God(dess)" in the subject and your name and mailing address (any entries without them will be instantly disqualified) in the body by August 21st, because Joss herself will be announcing the winner in her farewell blog on the 22nd!
Okay, Chicklets - start commenting and help me welcome Joshilyn to the blog!

Welcome, Joshilyn! I LOVED gods in Alabama and can't wait to check out Between, Georgia! Maybe I'll be greedy and sign up for the contest, even though I won a giveaway a few months ago... :-)

Wait until I tell Dee that JJ is HERE at the LC! She's gonna just gonna squeal! I was just looking at Between the other day at Borders and have to admit I didn't want to put it down, but since I am leaving on vacation tomorrow I have to limit my spending and I'm already over on my book budget for the month! So heading over to get my name in for the drawing... Oh, and welcome back, Lani! Glad to hear you survived the party that was the RWA!!

Welcome, Joshilyn!! We're thrilled to have you here!

OMG! Thank you sheri!! I would have known soon, but not soon enough! I can not believe that Joshilyn is going to be here. I'm an FTK addict already, so this is like double the fun.
For any of you that don't already know, I'm totally over the moon for Joshilyn's books. The only thing better than her books is the woman herself. I drove to Charlotte, NC last week (7 hours from my house) just to have her sign my books, and she was so totally freakin unbelievably awesome that I don't know if I'll ever really recover!!
I want to say, "I already have her books, so I won't enter the contest", but let's be real here. I'm already buying copies of Between AND gods and giving them to all of my friends. So having a few spare copies would actually be pretty nice. Count me in for that contest!
And how totally cool is it that Alesia won?!? And very very glad that you all made it back from Atlanta safe and sound!!

Hello Joshilyn and welcome,
Faster than Kudzu is on my favourites and I check you out daily---no pressure, truly. Wahay, does this mean that for the next week I only have to check the Literary Chicks?
