Sweet offerings from central Pennsylvania

Today's the start of Blogmania, and I'm participating through our group blog, The Susquehanna Writers. We are a diverse group of authors in the beautiful Susquehanna Valley. Pop over to The Susquehanna Writers blog to see what sweetness we're offering.

Today is Blogmania day!

WELCOME To BLOGMANIA !
My Blog is 91 of 123 participating blogs. Today, you will have the opportunity to explore lots of new blogs, all of which ARE GIVING AWAY A VERY SPECIAL BLOGMANIA GIVEAWAY. It's for today only – April 30th.

We’ve done all the work for you. No hunting or surfing. Each blog will have a number and each new blog link will have a number. These numbers will allow you to keep track of which blogs you’ve visited and how many are left to visit. Why not take a moment to make a list of blog numbers 1-123 and check off the blogs as you go.
So many blogs have fantastic giveaways, you’ll want to visit as many blogs today as you can. So, if you see something that interests you on any of our participating blogs, why not bookmark that site. Later, when you have more time, you can discover all its fabulous treasures.

MY GIVEAWAY and RULES
To be eligible for my giveaway, all you need to do is leave a comment here, and if you're not already following my blog, become a follower. Be sure to leave your email address so I will know how to contact you.
Easy peasey! :)
Tomorrow, I'll collect everyone's names into a bowl, blindfold a member of my family and have him or her draw a name. That person will receive:

One print copy each of One Soul for Sale and Picture This, both bestsellers at Eternal Press!



Also, a bracelet handmade by me, and a beaded book thong! Click on either photo for a closeup view.

Tomorrow is Blogmania!

Tomorrow is Blogmania! It's going to be a manic day of fun and giveaways from more than 120 participating blogs.

Remember to start at any of the blogs participating in the Blogmania Event as early as possible on April 30th so you'll be able to visit as many blogs as you'd like.

This is an international event, so understand that there will be some differences in time zones, allowing you to access some blogs early and others late.

Each blog will have their own giveaway requirements. Read them carefully, follow through, and then move on as quickly as possible. If you run across a blog that you really like and want to spend some time exploring, be sure to copy their URL and then visit them after Blogmania is over.

Each blog will post their number to help you keep track of which blogs you’ve visited, and which ones you still can visit. You may want to prepare a blog sheet numbered from 1 – 123, then mark off each numbered blog as you visit. All blog links provided will also have a number like (Blog 89 of 100). Look for the blogs that you haven’t yet visited and follow those links until you’ve checked off all the blogs on your sheet.

Blogs of all types are participating in Blogmania, which means that the range of items in their giveaways are diverse and awesome! You won't want to miss it!

My blog is set to automatically post at 1:00 a.m., if you're a night owl and happen to be up that late, or if you want to get a jump on the giveaways.

Blogmania early bird checklist - and a winner!

Less than one week till Blogmania! I'm excited! I hope you are too.

If you want to have the most fun and scoop up as much loot as possible, here are a few Early Bird Reminders to help you do just that.

1. Be at any of the blogs participating in the Blogmania Event as early as possible on April 30th. The easiest way to find a Blogmania Blog is to look for the Blogmania Badge.

2. This is an international event, so understand that there will be some differences in time zones. My advice is to start early and stay late to catch all the blogs.

3. Each blog will have their own giveaway requirements. Read them carefully, follow through, and then move on as quickly as possible. If you run across a blog that you really like and want to spend some time exploring, copy their URL and then visit them after Blogmania is over.

4. We will have a 100+ blogs for you to visit. Each one will post their number like this. ( This is blog 47 of 100) This is to help you keep track of which blogs you’ve visited, and which ones you still need to reach. You may want to prepare a blog sheet numbered from 1 – 120, then mark off each numbered blog as you visit.

5. All blog links provided will also have a number like (Blog 89 of 100). Look for the blogs that you haven’t yet visited and follow those links until you’ve checked off all the blogs on your sheet.

You may have noticed the brightly colored Blogmania logo I recently added to my blog. Its vivid colors are hard to miss. But that's because you won't want to miss Blogmania!

I'll set the April 30 post to launch automatically in the wee hours of the morning (around 1:00 a.m. EST) to allow maximum exposure. It will have the links of all participating blogs so you can visit as many as possible. I know I will be!

1. A print copy of One Soul for Sale, a paranormal novella
2. A print copy of Picture This, a contemporary novella
