I'm a bookaholic, so my favorite prize is a book, especially an autographed one. I would rather know the prize ahead of time so I don't enter for a book I already have or a prize I can't use. I have won a few books over the years and it is always a thrill!Cynthyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01101701586023488651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28839948.post-22875840099280774792010-08-07T20:46:55.493-06:002010-08-07T20:46:55.493-06:00I always enter contests!!

I used a contest to attract people to my website when my first novel was published, and received a pretty good response, considering I had no web presence.

Thanks, Robyn, Susan, Mason, Patricia, Timothy, Vickie, and Sherri for the birthday wishes and for following this blog and Inkspot. <br /><br />Timothy, thanks for the grandious wish (and your offer on Goodreads--I responded via email). :) While a million views is too much to hope for, I'm well on the way to 1,000 here for the contest, and I'm sure Inkspot is getting a lot, too.
