Summertime ...and the winning is easy

Summer Crowds at Mission Beach from Art.com

I want to let you know about a really funny novel and an awesome giveaway opportunity. I hope you'll check out, Fifteen Minutes of Shame written by my friend and bestselling author, Lisa Daily.

Fifteen Minutes of Shame is a hilarious beach read about what happens when America’s favorite TV love guru finds out her husband is cheating – live, on national television. I've read this book and highly recommend it for those of you who love a feel-good, woman-triumphs-over-all kind of read.

UPDATE: Lisa's Amazon.com special is now over but there are still opportunities for you to win free books! Read on...

If you'd like to win a signed copy of In Between Men, head over to Jane Porter's contest page. Also, make sure you visit my contest page to win a signed copy of my friend, Margo Candela's upcoming book, More Than This!

Hope you're having a great summer! I've been writing features stories for Rise Up, Latina Voz and Latino Future magazines, as well as my books. I'll be back on a more regular basis in the fall!
Best,
Mary

Pregnant Pause

Pregnant Pause by Barbara Aliaga from Art.com

My mom reminded me that I haven't been blogging lately and I apologize for that. But everytime I start a new entry, my book calls me away and then when I realize - four hours later - that I was supposed to blog but I can't remember what about.

So the book needs me and I need the book. I'll chime in if I have something to say, but for the most part, I'll be in confinement this summer. Thank you for understanding!
