Romance Trading Cards and a Giveaway!

by | Writing | 15 comments

So – four of us from Crescent Moon Press have decided to do a book giveaway as well as try our hand at Romance Trading Cards. They were THE big thing at the last Romantic Times Booklover’s Convention, held April 6th – 10th here in Los Angeles, and I think you’ll see a lot more of them in the future. Here’s mine…

The idea being you can give a snapshot of your hero, your heroine, and what they’re like. I kept mine to my bookcover and the blurb as I’m still learning how to juggle photos and etcetera, but for a first time, 5 minute creation, I really like it.

Now for the contest. If you go to Jean Murray’s blog here, there’s another trading card to check out. Visit the next one on the list, and the next, and you too could all win FOUR ebooks – DEMON SOUL PLUS three other Crescent Moon Press books!

1. Leave a meaningful comment on my blog to enter your name in drawing.

2. Leave your email address in your comment section (to avoid spammers, please use at for @, dot for .)

3. To increase your chances of winning, go to Author Jean Murray’s website and see her other SOUL REBORN Trading Card.

4. You may enter up to 4 separate comments on each of the participating author sites to increase your chances (each site will lead you to the next!).

Here’s just one of Jean’s trading cards…enjoy!

    LOL! That’s why I put up Jean’s hero and not her heroine!

    That is an incredibly cool idea. Where in the world did you get them printed? I love that it is a snapshot into the essence of the characters and the story.

    What a cool concept! I hadn’t seen these trading cards before, but I like. They remind me of the cards my kids used to trade (only much, much more exciting). I’m just sending love to the blog, so don’t enter me in the contest ;-))

    Everyone seems to be talking about trading cards at present. I think they’re a great way to give a reader a taste of your book. Your cards look very cool.

    I like the idea of the trading cards. I think they will definitely interest readers in the books they represent. I’m a postcard and bookmark collector so I’d love to start a collection of the.
