Hi all!
I’ve got two great contests planned this month to celebrate the upcoming release of my new book, It Happened One Night! I hope you’ll enter one or both of them!
So here’s how to enter today’s contest to win this really cool BOOK LOVERS GIFT BASKET. It includes all kindsa stuff (worth about $100 I’d guess – since the annotation kit alone is $40) and a copy of It Happened One Night! It’s everything you need to curl up on the couch with a good book (except for the couch, obviously).
Basically, the way you enter is you post this video on any blog, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, or Web site (obviously, one that you own). Then email me the URL (lisa@lisadalebooks.com). If you can’t enter this contest because you don’t have a Web site, fret not! You can always ask a friend to post in on your behalf. PLUS, there’s another (bigger) contest in the making! Directions below.
If you already did enter, thank you! I’ll be picking the random winner on October 14!
Here’s the trailer!

Lisa,
I really like the trailer. I’m a hopeless romantic at heart and love to read romance novels – the nightstand is stacked with them (alongside my horse magazines, knit and crochet pattern mags and books). I just sent a Friend request on Facebook and will post the trailer link on my Facebook page and will also retweet it for you on Twitter. I would love to win your Readers Basket this month! What a great way to curl up and relax after a long day here on the ranch.

I really like the trailer, romance books are among my favorite type books. I re-tweeted it and added you on facebook.
Hi Lisa, I would love to enter for the basket but I don’t have a website or have a friend with one. I also don’t twitter and I am not on facebook. I guess I am techno changlanged! Oh I wish everyone lots of luck in the basket giveaway! I really enjoyed the trailer though! Its pretty awesome!
very excited about both of these contests. the trailer is great and the love to readers prizes are super fun!
I loved the trailer and posted it on my blog. What a great contest and prize. Very nice trailer you have, I loved it.
Whoops I posted on wrong day. I loveed the trailer – especially the sound of the snow falling. Thanks for the contest offerings. Is there a way to get both the video and contest link on facebook. I put both on there but after putting the first a few days ago, it seemed to have gotten overridden by the video link. What did I do wrong?
I tweeted this one (kherbrand) – Loved Simple Wishes and am looking forward to reading this one!

The book video is absolutely lovely!
@Brenda, When you have a contest to give away a stay at your ranch, let me know.
@Elizabeth, Thanks! Romance is a big part of my books, but they really reach beyond straight romance and delve into the heart of human emotions–family, friendship, and of course, love!
@QuiltLady, Fear not! you can most certainly enter the next contest!
@Meagha, thanks for stopping by!
@Mary, thank you. You are always such a sweetie.
@Pat L., I think we’re all set. Thank you for posting it! I know you had some bugs to work out to do it, so I appreciate your going the extra mile!
@Kristi, thanks for the tweet! I’m so glad you liked Simple Wishes. Can I be honest? I think you might like the new book even more!
@Cheryl, thanks, hon! And thanks for the

I’m not normally a huge fan of romance books, but the trailer definitely piqued my interest!
Aww, thanks Lisa. That’s sweet.
Great video! I love the cover and the winter settting. Thanks for the contest!
great contest. i commented on twitter ( @jojosbookcorner ) but i couldn’t get the code to work on my blog :0(
( i did email you the link)
Good luck everyone !!!

@ Colleen, Thanks for coming by! The romance is always imporant in my books, but for me the love story has to grow from big, emotional situations of women searching their souls and asking the big questions that face us all.
@Amanda, glad you liked it!
@jodie No worries! I gotcha on twitter.
Hi Lisa,
.
I just loved your trailer.
I really can’t wait to read that book. Best friends to lovers is one of my favorite story line and it taking place in a small community in Vermont make it even better !!! (french girl here… when I read I want to travel faaaaar away, preferably in the US
xoxo
i tweeted it (meandi09) and i sent u the link for myspace page
I posted the trailer on my blog which isn’t completed yet(the blog).
love trailers as they sure can sum up a story in a few minutes. Great trailer.
@Emmanuelle, Very cool about best friends to lovers, etc. I think it’s a hard plot line to do well, but I was up for the challenge. I feel pretty good about how it turned out. And thanks for tweeting!
@Jennifer, thanks!!
@RobynL, how cool about your blog! Let me know when you start posting!
It Happened One Night is more than a romance novel! Lisa, your character development makes me feel like I know these people. I was lucky enough to win the early copy that arrived in my mailbox on Friday and I spent all weekend reading it and now I am impatient to read your next book! Would there be sequel to this book? I loved every minute of this book and the only thing I didn’t like was when I got to the last page and there was no more! Enjoy creating your next masterpiece Lisa-I’ll be first in line in Wisconsin to buy it!
Hi Lisa
Thank you for the great giveaway contest.
I Tweeted your book trailer.
I hope it helps sell more copies of IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT.
All the best,
