I really, really want to catch up on the messages, to hear about your lives and share my days and pleasures and grievances. That is what I want to do. But after a few markedly peevish phone calls with my agent and my editor, I promised, before pleasure, a little bit of marketing for THE OTHER MOTHER. I have to be honest: it feels ridiculous. Everyone who reads it gets something out of it (which tells me that there are amazing readers out there), we just have to get it in front of more people who want to read it.
So rather than go on a prolonged whinge about the state of publishing, I'm going to offer up what we all love: chocolate. And I'm going to offer it to the fabulous women who have been supporting my book and more importantly, keeping me good company, making me laugh, and sending good wishes. What an incredible community this is!
Okay, here's the deal:
Send a photo of you (and your friends, even better--I'll give you as many entries as copies of the book (not bookstore stacks, but owned) in the picture) with your copy of THE OTHER MOTHER, to ggross@gwendolengross.com, or to my messages here. Next Friday (the 28th), I'll draw a picture from a hat (or better yet, my daughter will pick one!) to determine who wins this really cool gift:
A TILED MUG FEATURING THE "EYEBALL", which is what we call the jacket art for THE OTHER MOTHER, filled with chocolate!
So get out there and get yourself a copy! (It's something like 30% off at Amazon--and if you get two copies, you can get free shipping!) Show me your mug, with the book, and I'll put you in the hat for my mug, with the chocolate. Tell your friends!! Everyone welcome! I get to see your gorgeous faces, to boot!
