When I was eating lunch all by my lonely self at RT, a woman approached and asked if she could share my table. It was busy, and I'd just happened to sit down when someone stood up to leave at this casual food stand where most people at the conference got food--and shared tables. Of course I said yes, and we started talking. She was a blogger with Prime Beauty, and they've been doing promo that combined beauty products with romance books. They charge for this service--I think it was $150. They've done spreads for authors like Kristan Higgins, and to enter to win the package, people have to like your FB page, sign up for your newsletter, etc. A couple thousand entries is standard. She offered to comp it for me! I sent her two ARCs of Lost Innocence for the photo shoot they do with the book and the makeup products. It'll come out in August. Hopefully I'll get enough signups for my newsletter to make sending one out worthwhile! So, yes, sometimes luck just happens when we don't expect it!Jannine Gallanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047728297429025804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-67535173418795994782018-06-23T10:22:36.688-04:002018-06-23T10:22:36.688-04:00GOOD FOR YOU!

I have a 'this is my lucky day' radar going all the time. Yesterday I was buying something in a store when I saw some WONDERFUL succulents...some I had never seen in a store before. Big ones...only $15 per pot. Bought six on the spot! Would you tell us more about 'claiming' on Google, please?Rolynn Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504770204968969467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-56008024420490267192018-06-23T09:30:11.441-04:002018-06-23T09:30:11.441-04:00That's fabulous, Margo!

I'll bet she'll be sure to tell others about them, too. That's exactly how word of mouth spreads. I'd never heard of claiming yourself (however that works) either! I'll have to check it out...one of these days! :-)<br />Leah St. Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004006100786260893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-10942883178070568792018-06-23T09:19:50.127-04:002018-06-23T09:19:50.127-04:00Wow, that was fortuitous!!!
