We are going to spend Halloween weekend discussing what we love best—romances and the authors who write them, and the publishers who publish them for our enjoyment.<br /><br />Our goal is to have a different author/publisher every hour. During that hour we would like for you to share excerpts of your latest release/WIP, giveaways, author interviews, trailers and anything else you’d like to provide. We would also like your readers to have the opportunity to ask YOU questions.<br /><br />The slots are filling up quickly so if you’re interested, please email me (</span></strong><a href="mailto:mistressbellareviews@gmail.com"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">mistressbellareviews@gmail.com</span></strong></a><strong><span style="color:#000000;">) with the day (October 30, 31 and November 1) and the hour you would like to be our special guest.<br /><br />As for advertising, the more the merrier! To get the word out there, Mistress Bella will post notices regularly on our Blog, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and also with the help of some other Yahoo groups and friends of ours. We would like to ask that you help with the advertisement as well on any websites, blogs, etc that you use for marketing.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your time and we hope to see you there!<br /><br /><br />Yours truly,<br /><br />Mistress Bella<br /><br /></span></strong><a href="mailto:mistressbellareviews@gmail.com"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">mistressbellareviews@gmail.com</span></strong></a><span style="color:#000000;"><br /></span><a href="http://www.group.yahoo.com/group/mistressbellaspalace"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">www.group.yahoo.com/group/mistressbellaspalace</span></strong></a><strong><span style="color:#000000;"><br /></span></strong><a href="http://www.mistressbellareviews.blogspot.com/"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">www.mistressbellareviews.blogspot.com</span></strong></a><span style="color:#000000;"><br /></span><a href="http://www.mistressbellashalloweeenbash.blogspot.com/"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">www.mistressbellashalloweeenbash.blogspot.com</span></strong></a><span style="color:#000000;"><br /></span><strong><br /></strong></div>Mistress Bellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11836000294489459611noreply@blogger.com0
