RWA National Conference

Congratulations to Crystal Broyles! You are the winner of Scandalous by Night by Barbara Pierce. I’ll be contacting you for your snail mail address or you can email me at skully @ skullybuzz dot com. Thanks everyone for checking out my new site!

Next up, I have Jordan Dane’s No One Heard Her Scream. I had the pleasure of meeting Jordan at the conference this past week. What a sweet lady!

I’ll announce the winner on the August 10th blog! Good luck!

As I mentioned in my last blog, I was in Washington DC for the Romance Writers of America’s National Conference. I also did some brainstorming with my critique partners, Leigh Wyndfield and Terri Schaefer, and hung out with Kathy Coatney, my friend I do my daily email page count check with. It was great seeing them! Here’s a picture of them in our room, left to right, Leigh, Terri, and Kathy. We got a lot of work done, too, I swear it!

The literacy signing was so fun. You can actually find people because everyone’s in alphabetical order. Here’s the 3 musketeers, I’m on the right.

I managed to snap a photo of my agent, Lucienne Diver, when she found a moment between signing copies of her book Vamped.

Here is the highlight of the trip for me. Undone, my story in the anthology Unlaced won the novella category of the National Readers Choice Awards! I was ecstatic, especially since my editor Wendy McCurdy was there, too. I couldn’t have done it without her! It was a special moment as my critique partner and wonderful friend Terri Schaefer was able to present the award to me.

Just for fun, here’s a picture of Terri and Kathy laughing over a naughty text message someone, who shall remain nameless, received at the National Zoo. They were so cute!

That’s my photo journal of my trip to RWA in DC!

I’m having a special guest blogger on Monday, August 3rd. My great friend Rosemary Gunn will be telling you about her first book, Open Proposal, from www.liquidsilverbooks.com. I had the pleasure of reading this sexy novel in its infancy and I know immediately it was a winner. So I hope you’ll all stop by!

Jasmine, Jennifer and JB!

A New Website!

Congratulations to Virginia Horton! You are the winner of Jodi Thomas’s Twisted Creek. I’ll be contacting you for your snail mail address or you can email me at skully @ skullybuzz dot com. Now, in my previous blog I mentioned that I’d be away this upcoming week so I’m afraid I won’t be able to mail until I get back. But the book will get there, Virginia!

Next up, I have another historical, Scandalous by Night by Barbara Pierce. To be eligible for the drawing, you must type in your email address. I’ll also add you to my newsletter for updates on all the fun stuff and releases, too. I’ll announce the winner on the July 27th blog! Good luck!

Now, you all may have noticed that I have a sexy new header on my blog. I love it! And you'll find it also on my new site. I'm dying for everyone to check it out. http://www.jasminehaynes.com/ You can still get to Jennifer Skully and JB Skully from the home page, but this new site is so much more Jasmine, I think. LOL, but if you read the bio, you'll see a lot of Skully in there, too. Remember when I asked your a few blogs ago what you'd like to see in an author's bio? Well, hopefully everything you wanted to know is covered in the "About Jasmine" page. I also think finding out about my books is a lot easier on the bookshelf link, too.

I would love to hear what you think! While I'm in Washington DC, I hope to be able to check email and blog posts, so I'm sure you'll hear from me. If not, I'll tell you all about the trip in my next blog! I'll be seeing my critique partners to do lots of brainstorming and having fun!

Jasmine, Jennifer and JB!
