Books.  Books.  Books.

Two ARCs from Sherry Thomas who won the Historical Romance RITA last year.  

The remarkable Grace Burrowes offers an autographed book and a color NOOK!

Small Thunderbird weaving

I am just going to mention that four of the folks competing for the Historical Romance RITA have signed books available.  Loretta Chase, Elizabeth Hoyt, Kaki Warner and me.  Eileen Dreyer, another Finalist in that category, is doing a critique.  This is probably deeply significant.

Finally, we have author critiques.  You could not possibly do better than this.  I'm only going to list a few -- Kristan Higgins, Madeline Hunter, Candice Hern, Anna Campbell, Eileen Dreyer, Vanessa Kelly,  Delilah Marvelle, Karen Harper, and Lauren Willig.
