Tuesday Twaddle - RWA and GIVEAWAY

Kimberly, Me, & Amy
My Tuesday Twaddle this week is a catch up on what I've been up to.  Indeed, my own blog is a catch up too, but I've been so busy over the past week I just have to get it out there.  You probably know I was in New York for the RWA (Romance Writers of America) conference. I've been doing book signings and attending parties and perusing New York.
I met some amazing authors, including Kimberly Derting, Sophie Jordan, Amy Garvey, and Tera Lynn Childs.  We partied the night away at the Avon cocktail party at the Boat House in Central Park, sipping cocktails and having a good old fashioned girlie giggle.
The next day I was signing ARCs of Carrier of the Mark at the Avon signing.  It was such a highly charged estrogen charged experience! Indeed, there were enough romance writers in one spot to get the most stone cold nonromantic hearts all a flutter.  My signing table was just across from Meg Cabot, which was super cool, and I managed to snag some copies of her books.  In fact, I snagged lots of books, gorgeous books… lucky me!  And lucky you too, you see, that's where you come in.  I'm giving away RWA stuff today.  I've an ARC of Amy Garvey's Cold Kiss (An amazing read) and a copy Kimberly Derting's, The Body Finder... and I might even chuck in an ARC of Carrier of the Mark! You likey??
To win, all you need to do is be a follower of the Yatopia blog, leave a comment below with your contact information, and tweet this competition, or Facebook it if you don't have Twitter. And if you have neither Twitter or Facebook send me some good Karma and we'll call it even. Ooh and I'd love if you check out my blog too, I LOVE new followers. So get entering and good luck!
Competition is open until my next Tuesday Twaddle in two weeks.  I'll announce the winner on my post. Winner will be picked by my tried and tested Twitter Method *patent pending* And unfortunately due to the number of books in the giveaway and the cost of postage, it's only open to the US, sorry guys.  Giveaways on my blog are always open international so keep posted (There will be a giveaway in the next few days!! It's going to be a doozy!).
