There will be a release party on the By Grace Readers' Loop on Friday, 12 Noon- ??? US Central time (that's 1 pm, US Eastern). Join us there for fun, contests, excerpts and give-aways.

Time is tick-tocking away to enter my Bakery Basket Contest! Simply email me a description of your ideal cake, and include your snail mail addy, so I know where to send the prize. (Email: laurahambyauthor @ yahoo dot com).

I'm also running a contest on my loop--- you could win an e-copy of one of the Brides anthologies: 2005, 2006 or 2007. See the poll on my author loop.
