Loyal Reader (s),
You should totally vote for the Cowboy. TOTALLY. |
I come to you with a matter of great national importance: DABWAHA. What is DABWAHA, you ask? I don’t have a clue. All I know is that it’s a romance version of the March Madness Bracket. Sixty four books go in; one book emerges as a winner. How does that one book emerge as a winner? Reader votes, most all of which appear to be based on one of two things: Which books a reader has personally read, and which authors generate the most entertaining commentary, known in ‘the biz’ as ‘trash talking.’
So, given that base of cluelessness, I am *thrilled* to tell you that A Man of His Word was reader-nominated for the final spot in the Category category! But we can’t stop there, Loyal Reader(s). We must persevere! I’m up against some big names here–Courtney Milan, Thea Harrison. I make a vow to you–no matter how dirty the tricks Gwen Hayes pulls, I’m not going to curl up in a ball and pretend her words, her evil, evil words, don’t hurt. Instead, I’m going to channel that pain into blind, raging fury. In other words, Loyal Reader(s), I ain’t going down without a fight.
The 1st round voting starts tomorrow, March 15th. Normally, I’d say Beware the Ides of March, but this year, everyone else should beware ME.
As far as I can tell, most of this ‘trash talk’ takes place on Twitter. I’ve already started my campaign against my first-round competition, Here Comes the Groom by Karina Bliss. Below is a sampling of ‘tweets’ staking out my position:
Reasons why you should vote for A MAN OF HIS WORD in #dabwaha: My hero Dan would NEVER plan his own wedding, unlike my competitor’s ‘hero.’
A MAN OF HIS WORD is clean, wholesome romance. No fueling dangerous women fantasies, unlike some Presents and Super Romance books. #DABWAHA
Who needs children & puppies when you can have millionaires who own half of Texas and rides a horse?? Vote A MAN OF HIS WORD!#DABWAHA
UPDATE: My competitor, Karina Bliss, tried to talk some trash here, but it turns out she’s from Down Under, so she’s not very good at it.
Look who's 'gansta' now!
Voting is only open for A Man of His Word until noon today (March 15). Vote now! and often–looks like you can vote as often as you want.
