Lindsay’s Romantics: The Year in Review – 2010 Books

Lindsay's Romantics: The Year in Review – 2010 Books: “Lots of terrific books were published in 2010 -Here’s a list of those from the authors of the Lindsay’s Romantics Group… His Lucky Charm, …”

…and the results are in

On Tuesday I posted my contest for the Creative Blogger Award that my friend Lindsay Townsend nominated me for.

Participants had to choose which statement/trait of one of my heroines that I did NOT share – only two people chose correctly and (drum roll please) the winner by random draw was Tina Poznansky. Tina won a copy of Forgotten.

The correct answer, by the way, was #4 – I grew up in da’ Bronx NYC, the only borough to start with a “D”. ;>

…and for those who guessed other choices:

• #1: I worked in the publicity department of McCall’s Magazine through a temporary agency while I was in college.
• #2: I went to the High School of Art & Design in Manhattan.
• #3: I love collecting glass miniatures and even have a shadowbox shaped like a house filled with small glass cats (a cat house?)
• #5: Duh, I live and breath about my volunteering as an Emergency Medical Technician with my hometown ambulance corps.
• #6: I didn’t say I married him folks! But yes, one of my ex’s was in the F.B.I. (this was apparently a favorite choice…)
• #7: The year was 1977, Mark and I were just leaving my parents’ when we came across the scene of a raging and size-able rubbish fire outside an apartment building – there was a car next to the burning rubbish and kids hanging out on a fire escape a few floors above…

Thanks so much for playing along.
I had a lot of fun and hope that you did, too.

Creative Blogger Award

The guilt has finally gotten to me – Lindsay Townsend nominated me for this award last week and I’ve been putting it off – sigh.
I am supposed to make seven statements – Six true and one false. If you can pick the false statement, then you will be eligible for my prize draw, the winner of which will receive one of my published .pdf ebooks. *If you pick the false statement, then you *LUCKY YOU* will be eligible to be chosen, at random, as the WINNER.

But… I’ve never been one to keep things simple, so –

I am listing seven of my heroines below and something about each of them. I DO share something in common with six – YOU pick the one that I don’t share the item with.

1. Paige Andrews (Bartlett’s Rule) – worked in a magazine’s publicity department
2. Caitlyn Smythe (His Lucky Charm) – was an art student at a Manhattan NYC school
3. Alli Davis (Within the Law) – collects glass figurines
4. Davie Prescott (Courage of the Heart) – grew up in southern New Jersey
5. Julie Jennings (Final Sin) – volunteered with an ambulance corps
6. Deanna Blair (Hostage Heart) – dated an FBI agent
7. Samantha Chaunce (A Chaunce of Riches) – suffered smoke inhalation

Email me with your guess to ChelleCordero at gmail dot com by midnight (est) Thursday, May 20. (please do NOT post your response in the comments) be sure to include which of my stories you would like to win as a .pdf ebook

Now, I must pass on this honor – I nominate
ALL of my fellow VHP authors
