| Holidays for the troops! |
From Laurie Damron
REMINDER! Holidays for the Troops!
Because the holidays are just around the corner, we are putting together another Holidays for the Troops project, hoping that it will be our most successful campaign to date!
Most of you know how this works, but I'll give a quick run-down for those who don't. You send either items to be sent to the troops or checks, money orders or gift cards to be used to shop for the troops, I then put together shipments and send them out to servicemen and women in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This link - http://lorifoster.com/author/militarytribute.htm - will take you to the Military Tribute page on Lori Foster's website where you will find a complete list of suggested items in the event you would like to do your own shopping for the troops. In return for your donation, your name will be entered in a raffle for some wonderful prizes. While I haven't decided on just how to put the prize packages together, the following incredible list shows the wonderful goodies that are being donated by various authors and others in the romance community:
LORI FOSTER: A t-shirt and tote bag from Cafepress, one arc of Causing Havoc, one copy each of A Very Merry Christmas, Jude's Law, Murphy's Law, Wildly Winston, When Good Things Happen to Bad Boys and Bad Boys of Summer
DIANNE CASTELL: Three copies of Texas Bad Boys and other goodies
BECKY BARKER: Books
KAREN KELLEY: One copy each of: Texas Bad Boys, Hell on Wheels, Temperature's Rising, Southern Comfort, Southern Exposire, and Bad Boys with Expensive Toys
ERIN MCCARTHY: One copy of You Don't Know Jack, one copy of High Stakes, two copies of The Night Before Christmas, and one copy of The Naked Truth
JILL SHALVIS: A box of Aussie Rules to be used for the raffle and to send to the troops
SHILOH WALKER: Two copies of Hunting the Hunter, one for the raffle and one for the troops
TONI BLAKE: One copy of In Your Wildest Dreams and one copy of Taking Care of Business
LUANN MCLANE: One copy of Dark Roots and Cowboy Boots, one copy of Hot Summer Nights and one copy (if she has her copies by then) of Love, Lust and Pixie Dust
JANICE MAYNARD: One copy of Wildest Dreams and one copy of Suite Fantasy
LUCY MONROE: Two copies each of Ready, Willing, and Able, Star Quality, The Real Deal, 3 Brides for 3 Brothers, and one copy of Beach Blanket Bad Boys (half will be used for the raffle and half will be sent to the troops)
KARIN TABKE: One copy each of The Hard Stuff and Good Girl Gone Bad

ALYSON HACKETT OF MUCKY'S MORSELS online bakery is donating the following raffle prize: 1 dozen Seven Sinful Layers, 1 Dozen Chocolate Chip and 1 dozen Mint Brownies. Check Mucky's Morsels out here - (be prepared to drool): http://www.muckysmorsels.com/
GENESIS PROMOTIONS: A Genesis Promotions Pillow from CafePress
LAURIE: $25. gift certificate to Gooseberry Patch online country store - go have a look: http://www.gooseberrypatch.com/Pretty amazing, huh? I will be updating this list as I receive additional donations. The raffle drawing will be held on October 31st. It is exciting every time we send shipments for the troops but the holiday boxes are especially fun to put together. Cards and letters from those who donate are welcome and hugely appreciated. It is incredibly heartwarming and rewarding. I am hopeful that if you have a blog you might mention this project and provide my information. Please let any authors that you're acquainted with know about this exciting project! There is absolutely nothing political about this project. It is simply a show of support for the men and women who serve our country. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions. Thanks bunches,Laurie
