Today we are excited to have author Ashley March back with us. Ashley has planned a huge, month-long celebration of historical romance readers and writers on her website and has entitled the celebration March Madness. Throughout the month, Ashley will have guest authors stopping and she will also be featuring bloggers who support romance every day. The Romance Dish will be featured on March 25, so mark you calendars for that date. The 1st Annual March Madness Blog Party is Here!
Some people might think of March as the month for basketball tournaments and St. Patrick’s Day, but starting this year March will be known for a celebration of historical romance readers and writers. From Tuesday, March 1st through Thursday, March 31st, come interact with some of your favorite authors, meet new ones, and enter to win 40+ prizes as Ashley March hosts the 1st Annual March Madness Blog Party at www.ashleymarch.com/blog.
A fantastic line-up of historical romance authors will be guest blogging with giveaways every single day, and a special daily feature will highlight romance community sites, reviewers, and bloggers who support historical romance.
In addition to the recent releases, upcoming books, and ARCs given away by historical romance authors each day, historical romance readers will also have a chance at winning:
A bundle of 5 historical romances every Sunday.
8 Victorian lady postcards
8 “Do you know the way to Pemberley?” postcards
8 “Well behaved women rarely make history” medieval postcards
A “Romance Reader & Proud of It” tote bag
Two secret prizes (to be announced during the month)
A Grand Prize package of historical romance books and a Victorian-styled lovebirds necklace
Aspiring historical romance writers also have a couple of things to be excited about:
1. Kris Kennedy’s agent, Barbara Poelle of the Irene Goodman Literary Agency, has generously agreed to give away a partial critique to the writer she believes has the best 3-sentence written pitch. One of Kris Kennedy’s books will also be given away, as an example of the type of work Barbara loves.
2. Ashley March will provide a full critique of another aspiring historical writer’s completed novel.
For a full line up of guest authors and featured bloggers, be sure to stop by Ashley' website.
Here's a peak at some of few of the authors visiting during the month:
Elizabeth Hoyt, Robyn DeHart, Laura Lee Guhrke, Anne Mallory, Julie Anne Long, Sara Lindsey, Julianne MacLean, Emma Wildes, Katharine Ashe, Madeline Hunter, Shana Galen, Sarah MacLean
Be sure to stop by Ashley's website throughout the month and join in the celebration. You may just win a great prize!
