It's all about the "Power of Love"
Love. It's why we read the books we read. We want the love. The Happily Ever After. We're not looking for the sugar-coated, perfectly wondrous Disney love of fairytales, but the real, enduring, flawed love that can actually be found in real life between people just like us. In this anthology,the "Power of Love" tells stories about this kind of love, and about the freedom to choose. Empowerment, that's a beautiful thing. And I'm giving it away. Yep, that's right, you could win a copy of this lovely book, "Power of Love", signed by 9 of the 12 authors, and it's very easy. All I'm asking is that you tell me your favorite example of the power of love. It can be romantic, or platonic. It could be from your favorite romance or about your pet, your teacher, your best friend, your significant other, your child, whomever you want it to be. Post your responses here, and I will randomly choose a winner around 7pm Central Time on Tuesday, July 1st. Valid for all bloggers living anywhere the book can be mailed. Good luck!

"Power of Love" anthology - for a good cause
Special Anthology
Trade Paperback
Berkley Trade - June 3, 2008
ISBN-10: 0425221482
ISBN-13: 978-0425221488 12 Original Stories by Lori Foster, Erin McCarthy, Toni Blake, Dianne Castell, Karen Kelley, Rosemary Laurey, Luanne McLane, Janice Maynard, Lucy Monroe, Patricia Sargeant, Kay Stockham & J.C. Wilder
In this engaging anthology of never-before-published stories, twelve award-winning and bestselling authors are united by their unique visions of the resilient woman and her quest for self, for fulfillment, for empowerment, and for an enriching new appreciation for what love really means—and why it matters.A young woman is torn between the overbearing security of her fiancé and the excitement of an old flame...a desperate wife is forced into the workplace for the first time in her life...an ambitious professional woman finally finds the courage to take control of her career—and her man...an emotionally fragile divorcee finds resolve in the ethereal visitations of an archangel. These are just some of the women who discover and rediscover their wonderfully fallible selves in the shadow of love—romantic love, platonic love, new love, and lost love. You'll be touched, inspired, charmed, and amused by these twelve original stories of disparate longings, unsettled lives, and the power of love. I love the idea behind this anthology because it is about empowering women, not only in finding a happy ending on the pages, but because in real life, it helps women who need to get to that point in their lives. Not all women are born strong, or become strong. Sometimes they need a little help getting there. These 12 writers came together to lend a hand. I want to do the something too.
I hope to get at least 2 copies of this book, and have it signed over the weekend, so please stay tuned for a special contest. If you'd like to make sure you get a copy, you can go here. Proceeds go to benefit the Cincinnati's Battered Women's Shelter. Thank you for helping the cause. Labels: anthology, good causes, Power of Love, reader/author get-together

That's 86 authors so far! It's the 4th year and it's bigger and better than ever, and believe me, if you've never attended a reader/author event, this is a great place to start. I've gone every year and have had a blast. It's informal, relaxing, and fun, and Lori and Dianne try to make it as affordable as possible. Registration is now open for those who are planning to attend, and you have until sometime in May to decide if you're still not quite sure, but really, it's well worth it. I know you won't be sorry.
I would love to see you there :) Labels: anthology, charity, get-together, Power of Love
