Okay, I’ve been trying to post this for a while, but Typepad’s having woes. What? Power problems? But it’s the web, we all need web. I kid. They’ll work it out.
Anyway, what I wanted to say was this:
Dog Days of Summer Giveaway!
Everyone’s giving stuff away via their blogs. Check out Bloggy Giveaways for more contests and the chance to win more free stuff. I love the idea (and have, of course, entered several drawings).
So, I’m giving away one gorgeous, hardcover, signed copy of the yet to be released The Other Mother. Who doesn’t want free stuff? And of course, if you love the book and tell your friends, that’ll make me extra happy.
Here’s how it works: post in the comments, answering the question below. (hint: if you don’t know already, check out The Other Mother website) and make sure to include your email address. You don’t need to write a writing post, though those are welcome, of course! Just let me know you want to be in the drawing.
The comments will close on Friday, July 27, 2007 at 5pm eastern time, and I’ll put them all in a hat over the weekend and draw a lucky winner.
Okay, here’s the question:
In what state do Thea and Amanda live?
*Note:* I didn't realize, until I tried looking it up that way, that the book description on the site no longer gives the answer, though you could find it elsewhere.
So, it's okay if you answer this instead:
Where does Amanda work?
Hope you’re all enjoying the dog days, and writing up a storm! Feel free to reply to earlier topics, whenever you’re ready.
Enter me!! (then pick me! pick me!)

I hope that I will be picked, thanks, Diana

Amanda works in NYC so I'm assuming they live in NJ - we are Jersey too and my husband commutes in! This looks like a great book - very applicable! Thank you for sharing!

Since my name is Thea, I was thoroughly confused by your question! I was really wondering why people would want to know that I lived in Ohio!
I'm a little slow!
This Ohioan says they live in NJ. Include me, please!
Posted by: Thea | July 25, 2007 at 01:17 AM
They live in NJ of course :) Count me in please! :)

I thought it was New York, but New Jersey seems to be the most popular answer... So being a West Coast girl (meaning I know nothing about the New York area) I guess I'll go with New Jersey. Yes! That is my final answer! (Oh yeah, and please enter me in your fabulous drawing... Thanks!)

I thought it was NY, too. What do I know?
I can't wait to read these books (hopefully I'll win this one and buy the other two.)
Anyway...
Thanks for including me in your drawing!

My guess is NJ, however, the description i read only mentioned NYC. Will you still enter me in the drawing? kudos for all the great reviews!

Hmmm...is this a trick question? It doesn't really say where Amanda and Thea live. Could be Jersey...could be New York. You live in Jersey, so I'm going to make up that they live in Jersey and Amanda commutes to NYC!
Can't wait to read your book and start to participate in your writing challenges!

Hmmm. NY? NJ? Meethinks that I'll have to buy the book to be sure. Maybe Gwendolyn will let me enter anyway! ;)
