Dear friends and family~

First off, a big WELCOME to all of my new newsletter subscribers! I
enjoyed meeting many of you last month at the Chocolate Affaire in
Arizona and the Queen Mary Scottish Games here in California. Thank you
so much for attending! Thanks also to all of you not-so-new subscribers
who made the effort to stop by and say "hi" again -- visiting with
readers I've met before is always a special pleasure. I've posted some
new appearance dates on my website, and I hope to see many more of you
as the year wears on.

A few tidbits to share...I received the happy news today that ROSE is a
finalist for Romance Writers Ink's 2004 "More Than Magic" award in the
Best Historical category. Yay! Also, I FINALLY (whew!) finished typing
up the v-e-r-y long travelogue detailing my family's 17-day trip last
summer to the East Coast of the United States. If you enjoy reading such
things, you can find it on my site...just go to
http://www.LaurenRoyal.com and click where it says "Travelogue" on the
left-hand menu. And, last but not least, I was interviewed recently by
Romance Junkies, so if you're interested in reading that, you can find
it at http://www.romancejunkies.com/artman/publish/article_1057.shtml.

My newest ROSE contest winner is Roberta Cooksey of Waldorf, Maryland.
Congratulations, Roberta! As for the rest of you, this is the LAST month
of the ROSE contest, so if you haven't entered yet, click on over to
http://www.LaurenRoyal.com to see a picture of the prize (a solid 14k
gold necklace!), read an excerpt of ROSE, and get your name into the
drawing. (But if you've already entered, please don't enter again. One
entry lasts for all of the drawings, and duplicates are eliminated.)
 
If you enjoy owning autographed books, don't forget to enter the Signet
Treasure Hunt every month. The hunt is a fun and challenging online
search, and the prize is always several books from various authors
(including one from me, of course!). You can find the Treasure Hunt at
http://SignetNAL.home.att.net.

And for those of you who really love entering contests, the Rising Stars
of Romance -- a large and varied group of authors (including me again!)
-- just launched a brand-new site with a contest page linking to over 20
different contests. My son Brent designed the site, and I think it's
fabulous (not that I'm prejudiced or anything <grin>). Check it out at
http://risingstars.novelauthors.com.

Next month I'll be announcing a new contest to replace the ROSE contest
(hmm, guess I'd better start thinking about what it should be!). Until
then, Happy Reading!

Always,
~Lauren
