What’s better than one book? Two books, right? And what’s better than two books? Eight!
I’m excited to be a part of two boxed sets this summer that have all new novels and novellas in them, but the one I’m talking about today is the Smoke and Mirrors romantic suspense collection, eight brand new novellas from eight different authors, all dealing with a hidden identity.
The set is up for pre-order now, and we, the authors, have been going over keywords and all the variety that’s in our set. It’s been fun to see what each author comes up with.
Which got me thinking about bingo. I loved bingo as a kid. So why not play Christian romantic suspense bingo?
Look at this chart: these are just a few of the different things you’ll find throughout the eight novellas. They each have a summer romance, a hidden identity, and romantic suspense. But after that, each novella takes off in its own romantic, suspensey direction.
What five things off this bingo sheet really appeal to you? List them for me in the comments, and I’ll give away an ebook of your choice to the first four who pick the bingo row I have (five random squares from this bingo card). You’ll get to pick an Amazon ebook from any one of the authors in the set. That’s anything by Connie Almony, Hallee Bridgeman, Sally Bradley (me), Heather Day Gilbert, Kelli Hughett, Alana Terry, Rachel Trautmiller, or Alexa Verde.
Did I mention this set is only $.99?
I hope you’ll take a chance on some authors that are probably new to you. Now comment away! What five bingo squares there really pull you in?
Sally Bradley writes big-city fiction with real issues and real hope. A Chicagoan since age five, Sally has been fascinated by all things Chicago (except for crime, politics, and traffic) for almost as long. She now lives in the Kansas City area with her family, but they get back to Chicago for important things -- like good pizza and a White Sox game. A freelance-fiction editor and former president of her writing chapter, Sally has won a handful of awards for Kept and another work-in-progress. Visit her online at sallybradley.com or on Facebook.
What fun, Sally! I’ve got my box set on pre-order.
Here are my five:
Second Chance
Begin as Friends
Sun
Faithful Hero
Mountains
Determined detective, sun, bodyguard, the beach and second chance are my words.
What a fun way to have a competition
Thanks!
Thanks Sally for a fun way to introduce a boxed set. Intriguing how these key words will be revealed in the eight novellas. Ordered my set.
The five key words that appeal to me are: Faithful hero, Medical ethics, Rescue Mission, Second Chance & Happy Ending.
What a fun idea…I might have to suggest we steal it for my next box set :)
I love most of these authors, so my box is already pre-ordered.:)
Here’s my guess: Christian romance, faithful hero, hidden identity, second chance, sweet tea..
I’m really pulled in by Christian romance, begin as friends, true love, happy ending, the beach.. but also mountains, determined detective, killer stilettos, faithful hero, sun! It’s really hard to say actually, they all look really good reasons for worth reading a book.
It looks intriguing! I picked rescue mission, mountain, sun, bodyguard, rural Alaska.
Faithful Hero, mountains, True love, Christian romance, happy ending
I like doing things like this. My words are Christian romance, Happy Ending, librarian, Medical Ethics, and Second Chances
Love bingo!!! I would love to read a christian romance set on the beach where the faithful hero and his heroine begin as friends and of course end up with a happy ending.
Pre-ordered! Christian Romance, Stolen Identity, Happy Endings, Faithful Hero, Medical Ethics
Row N, down. I love anything about Alaska and my daughter-in-law is a school librarian. And who can resist a faithful hero?
Christian romance, Rural Alaska, Rescue Mission, faithful hero, & happy ending
I am anxiously awaiting the release. Good blog post
My words:
Determined detective
Sweet tea
Rescue Mission
FBI
Stolen Identity
I’ve already pre-ordered mine! Can’t wait! So, now for some Bingo fun, I pick:
Faithful hero
Begin as friends
Bodyguard
Determined detective
Happy ending
Hmm, love romantic suspense- bring on a new set of books:) My choices: FBI, Happy Ending, Bodyguard, Repurpose, Second Chance.
I’ve loved reading what appealed to all of you! Here’s my five that you were trying to match: True love, the beach, begin as friends, faithful hero, and opposites attract. Quite a few of you got at least two of those, but I think Paula got the most with the beach, begin as friends, and faithful hero. (Who doesn’t love a faithful hero, right?)
It looks like four others got two right, so I’ll be in touch with the five of you once the weekend is over. Thanks for playing, everyone! And thanks for ordering the set. All of us authors hope you love it.
Christian Romance
FBI
Body Guard
Opposites Attract
Second Chance
And I see I’m late to the party!!!
