| I finally did it. I finally made the top fifty in the Harlequin's Contest. My book is the ONLY western romance that made it this far but now I need votes. Tons of votes. I don't have the help of the media and I'm not a big name so I seriously need to rely on my buddies here and other places. In order to vote you do have to sign up for an account, but it's super easy. Here's the link to vote. You just click on the star. Get your account and then vote!!! Thank you.
My western romance needs votes to advance to the top 25 in Harlequins Think You Can Write contest. You need a Wattpad account, but I'd appreciate the votes immensely. ~Elle

Yay!!!! I think there some hefty royalties involved for the winner. I just gotta get in there. We need romances where the cowboy wears Stetson hats and not crunched up Kmart crud hats. LOL |

There is some serious money in them if you can get good. Tons of your top 10 best sellers are romance novels. |

Thank you. So far a list is showing my novel in 20th place. The top 25 advance. I'm hanging on by my fingernails since most of the other authors have access to mass media outlets. *crosses fingers*

Thank you!!! I have two more days to get as many votes as possible. I can't believe I have the only western romance in the mix since Harlequin loves thier cowboys. I feel honored.
I need at least five more votes today. Who want's to help a sista out?

Thank you so much! Two more and I think I can relax for the day. I know it seems like a strange way to get a book contract, but it's tough as nails to get a Harlequin Editor's attention. Thanks so much ladies!!!! Just two more! You know you wanna!

| Super!!!! I'm so grateful to you girls and this board. Please know I'm not here just to take advantage of your kindness. I've been a member here for more than 9 years. Wow. Where does the time go? One more day of voting and then the top gets to send in the manuscripts. Fingers crossed and prayers our cowboy gets chosen. If I am selected as the top ten, I'll probably be back to ask for those votes again, but this time it will be for the win. Can we do it? I'm nail biting! !!! |
