Good evening folks!

Back to school is just around the corner so, obviously, everyone is watching their pennies. I thought it would be fun to run a contest but instead of going to traditional “Here’s a free copy of my book” route, I’ve decided to offer a $50.00 American Express Gift Card to the winner. It’s not much but every cent counts, right? It’ll put a bit of gas in your tank if nothing else.


Wanna play? Here goes:
Write a story of any length and topic using the picture below as your inspiration. The stories will be post on the site for votes…the story with the most votes wins. Simple. You’re invited to have your friends and family vote. If you or someone you know has a blog then I suggest gathering support.

If I feel there’s a bright star or a diamond in the rough without sufficient votes then I’ll take care of that person as well. I’m all about encouraging artists! Some people don’t have gaggles of family and friends but that doesn’t mean they lack talent. Don’t hate…put your backs into it and create some magic.

If you have any questions along the way regarding your storyline or need online writing resources, please let me know.


Who can enter?
Besides Super-Mega™ published authors, anyone can enter. Hey, is it fair to put you guys against the newbies? Nope!

The contest begins Monday August 16th and ends August 31st. The winner will be announced September 1st and the prize will be mailed once the winner’s address is confirmed.
 

How to enter?
Email me at Authortracyames@gmail.com. Put CONTEST ENTRY in all caps in the subject line. This will ensure your email goes to the correct folder. You can enter anonymously if you like.


Here's the link the Contest Page just in case you need it.


Good luck and happy writing!


**UPDATE**
If you want to go ahead and start sending in your entries that's fine. Sorry, I guess I should've mentioned that. Thanks for reminding me! 

I've received several emails about Petticoats-A-Plenty. If you haven't guessed from my gushing comments below, I absolutely LOVE them! Great selection, great service, and great quality products. As I mentioned below, I've ordered from them in the past and wore their polka dot corset to a burlesque event. It was a PERFECT fit and their undies are to die for.

I could go on and on about their awesomeness but I'll spare you the details. Check out their site, place your orders, and be prepared to fall in love. *Swoon*
