I have another guest blogger next Monday and Tuesday, so won’t be able to announce this ON Monday. So it’s going up today, and will remain up throughout the weekend.
After many, many months of work, I’m thrilled to announce that Nobody Writes it Better, the group blog of 31 members of the 2007 Golden Heart finalists group (the 007s, as we call ourselves) is finally launching! On Monday, June 15th. Our first blogger, Gail Fuller, who finaled in the Short Contemporary category, is launching us off in style with a double interview of international authors Robyn Grady and Melissa James. Here’s a taste of what’s to come:
Welcome! I’m so excited to invite everyone to help celebrate the official unveiling of the 2007 Golden HeartFinalists’ blog.Date: Monday, June 15th, 2009
Special guest appearances by authors Melissa James (Harlequin Romance) and Robyn Grady (Silhouette Desire and Modern Heat, released in North America as Harlequin Presents).
Place: nobodywritesitbetter.com This invitation includes one-day admittance to a retreat known to romance authors as Isla Romance, aka Rom Runners Island in some author circles.
We’ll have draws for special autographed book giveaways and an island appropriate theme pack.
Warning: The cabana boys serving our favourite iced beverages are hot, hot, hot! Please note Robyn Grady has retained the personal server with the flawless resemblance to Gerald Butler. Not to worry, many more are waiting for you to grace the island with your presence. Hope to see you there!
What, you want to know my first blogging date at Nobody Writes it Better? July 1st, Canada Day!
What am I blogging about? I ain’t got a clue. Gulp.
If Robyn won’t share Gerard, I’ll call dibs on the Hugh Jackman lookalike. 😉
What a great idea for a blog, Cindy!
Thanks, Edie. I can’t take credit for the idea. I can’t remember which GH sister got the idea. We’ve been working on this for a year! Gah. With 31 members, it takes a lot to pull it together, and we ran into several kinks on the way that I don’t think any of us anticipated. I am on the management team, so I know that a ton of behind-the-scenes work was involved. It’s great to finally see it coming to fruition!
Ah – not another blog to try to follow! Just kidding – sounds like a great idea – I’ll try to drop by as time allows 🙂
That’s what I like – someone who feels guilty when they don’t follow me. 🙂
Cindy, on behalf of all the 007s, thanks for everything you did to help us get the new blog set up!! Looking forward to it starting on Monday :).
Thanks, Marilyn. I’m glad I’m not blogging until July 1st. I need a rest! 🙂
Thank you for all your hard work, Cindy! The 007s are such a special group. I can’t wait to party on Monday! 🙂
Wishing you all the best!
Gail 🙂
