In which I attempt to bribe you

Okay blog followers, stick with me while I tell you about yet another cause. (This one involves bribery though, so keep reading.)

Leslie is one of my dearest and oldest friends. She is like the perkier, prettier version of me, but with all sorts of graphic designing talent. Plus she is always, always cheerfully helping other people. Really, if I used her as a character in one of my books, readers would think she was unrealistically charitable and they would leave snarky comments on Goodreads saying that people like Leslie don’t exist in real life.

Leslie donates her graphic design skills to help nonprofit groups even though she herself has struggled financially all her life. Now she’s entered a contest that can give her seed money to start her own business, but she needs people to vote for her dream. (The top ten people will be interviewed by American Family.)

It will take you two minutes or less to register to vote (link below) and then a few seconds to scroll through the top dreams and vote for hers.

Here’s where the bribe comes in. If you register and vote for Leslie, (Leave me a comment telling me you did.) I’ll send you a free ebook. (Blue Eyes and Other Teenage Hazards or Playing the Field–although if you live near me or will see me at a conference soon, I have a variety of paperbacks you can choose from too.) If you also vote for Leslie for the next four days (You can vote once ever 24 hours–and once you’re registered, it only takes a few seconds each day.) I’ll promise to send you my next ebook free too. (It will be a rewrite of either Masquerade or Dakota’s Revenge, whichever I get to first.)

Here’s the link to register: (Leslie’s screen popped up when I did this.)
