Since we're writing about the subject of books and writing this week, I'm going to start by announcing that I will enter your name in a drawing for a free autographed Hannah Alexander novel (sorry, only within the contiguous United States) if you will tell me what some of your favorite things are about your favorite novels. Do you love humor? Describe what kind of humor you like and what turns you off. For instance, do you like slapstick or sarcasm? Or both? Or neither?
Do you like a little romance in your novels, or a lot? Do you prefer suspense with your romance, or romance with your suspense? What about historical novels? Do you like feisty heroines, or stories in which the hero rescues the heroine? Your answer will determine which novel I will send you--of course, if you already have most of my novels, we'll figure out which one you don't have and work from there.
I'm considering a slightly different direction in my writing career, and would appreciate some input. I know I love to write with some gentle humor, but if I try too hard it falls flat. I like to read novels with intelligent heroes and heroines who are strong and know what they want, even if that causes them some trouble. I'm hard to please when it comes to humor, but I do need humor in the novels I read. Life's already too serious, so I want something to lighten the darkness at some points in the story.
As I've done before, I will consider drawing more than one name from the basket if I have enough entries. I will announce the winner/winners next Friday. I hope to hear from you!

No artwork today, since you can see the copy of the book I'm giving away by my name at the side of the blog. The title is The Wedding Kiss. I'll add your name to the list if you let me know why you think you might like a copy of this book--or even if there's another Hannah Alexander book you think you'd like better--and I'll send it to you. You have all weekend to chime in, and since I'll be away part of the weekend, even if you don't hear from me, believe me when I say I plan to do this. Since this is writers week, this is my contribution. You may read The Wedding Kiss and see dozens of things you'd do differently. You may read it and decide I might know how to write. Whatever, I hope you learn something from reading it. And that's my lesson for today. Now let me know why you think you might want it!
