WINNERS OF ADVANCED READER COPY – Congratulations

I’m so excited to announce the winners of the Goodreads contest for an ADVANCED READER COPY of

Wedding Cake and Big Mistakes

Not sure what an Advanced Reader Copy is? It’s an uncorrected proof of the novel. It’s the format that the publisher sends out for promo and early reviews prior to a release date. This book is the third in the Adams Grove series and it will come out on July 9th. Here’s what the ARC looks like::

WELCOME TO ADAMS GROVE…where the tea is sweet, but trouble is brewing.

Read the whole series…. (Wedding Cake and Big Mistakes is available for pre-order — as is the Sept 24 release of Pecan Pie and Deadly Lies)

I’m a Montlake Girl

Hi, Friends,

I’ve got exciting news. I just signed a 4-book deal with Amazon Publishing – Montlake Romance line for my Adams Grove series. I’m so excited to have the dream team led by Kelli Martin (editor) in my corner.

I was running around singing, “I’m an Amazon Girl.” But my momma, being the southern lady that she is, quickly educated me that “Amazon Girl” may not be the most flattering image. With her help, Mom’s a songwriter you know, we revised the words to my new celebration song to “I’m a Montlake Girl.” Yippeee.

Both Sweet Tea and Secrets and Out of Focus will be re-released with some fabulous revisions and new covers soon. Then in 2013, Wedding Cake and Big Mistakes will take you back to join in the festivities at Jill and Garrett’s wedding and so much more. Followed by Cody Tuggle’s story in Out of Frame in the second half of the year(which is going to be here before we know it if the months keep flying by like they have!! Can you believe it’s almost April!)

Of course, the titles could change and I’m sure there’ll be lots of fun along the way, so I’ll keep you posted. I can’t wait to get a sneak peek of the new covers and if you want to be the first to see them…be sure to sign up for my free newsletter on my website www.nancynaigle.com/ncont.htm

Hugs and high 5~

Autographs ~ 2012 Style

With the growth in popularity of e-books we’re seeing lots of new e-Readers and tools make their way for our use. Not all of them are applicable only to e-books either.

(ENTER stage-left) KINDLEGraph.com (Horns blaring: toot-do-do-dooooo!)
http://www.KindleGraph.com is free. It’s original purpose was to enable Kindle users to request and store autographs on their kindle. BUT, did you know that you can set up your KindleGraph.com account to send those autographs to any email address? It’s true. So, it turns out that it’s also a pretty cool way to get autographs for your favorite books from authors you might not get the chance to meet and get an autograph from in person.

Today KindleGraph boasts personalized digital inscriptions for over twelve thousand books from 2800 authors. Now, I’ll admit as I perused the listing of authors I quickly noticed that many of my old favs are not yet using the tool, but it seems to be very popular with the 2010-forward Debut Authors.

Here’s what you get…
a pdf that includes the book cover image ~ the personalized inscription ~ signature.
A sample of one of mine (LOVED this book and the other two in the series!)

Isn’t it cool!
I’ve got mine on my kindle via my kindle email address, but I have friends that have started a collection of autographs to their regular email addresses. They’ve started a scrapbook type page on their computer…then printed the autographs and tucked them in the front of the books. I love it!

Here’s a short list (including me!) of some of the other authors also on KindleGraph – if you haven’t read them…you should!
