Three Ways to Win Free Books

So I'm taking part in three holiday promotions that are offering free books to readers. Sooooooo, if you're a bookaholic like me and just went "Oooooh, free books! Where? Where?" here's the scoop on all of them:

1) Did I mention my contest? (Heh.) We've gotten some great entries, but I'm not sending them to my judges (i.e. my brothers and frequent guest-bloggers) until Dec. 23. So you can still enter, as many times as you wish, to win a $25 bookstore gift certificate and a copy of any book from my backlist. Scroll down four entries or visit http://tracymontoya.blogspot.com/2007/12/contest-prizes-enter-today.html for more information.

2) The Intrigue authors are blogging up at storm at www.intrigueauthors.com/blog.asp, all throughout December, and we're giving out free Intrigues every day to randomly selected people who send us comments. I'll be blogging Dec. 12th and 19th, but you can also visit any day this month for amusing anecdotes, interesting questions, holiday recipes, and random digressions from the likes of Patricia Rosemoor, Julie Miller, Ann Voss Peterson, Dana Marton, Rebecca York, and more.

3) Starting today, a group of today's hottest selling Latina authors (and, er, me) are posting holiday short stories as part of our 12 Days of Christmas Chica Lit Blog Tour.
Every day from December 11th to the 23rd, travel to a new blog for an original holiday story, recipe, and prize giveaway!
