***Please feel free to forward this newsletter to friends and/or post at romance-friendly places such as bookstores and on the Internet. Thank you for your support!*** Dear friends and family... ...and welcome to all my new subscribers! Whether you joined this newsletter on my site, through my contest, or when you met me at the Costa Mesa Highland Games last month, I really appreciate your interest. (And it was great seeing those of you I was lucky enough to meet!) To anyone who might have e-mailed me lately and failed to receive a response: Unfortunately, I have had numerous e-mail troubles the past few weeks. If you sent e-mail more than a week ago and haven't heard back, please assume I didn't receive your e-mail, and resend. I think the problem is fixed now--at least, I hope so, because I've found it very frustrating! Although it might take me a while if I'm out of town or close to a deadline, I DO answer all of my e-mail, and it drives me nuts to think readers might assume I'm ignoring them. <sigh> I don't have a lot of other news this month (just writing, writing, writing!), so I'll get right down to business. Congratulations to Margaret Silva of Arlington, Virgina, the lucky winner of June's contest! Margaret, your pearl and emerald necklace is on the way. This month's new contest features my 2002 book, VIOLET, and the prize is a solid 14k gold necklace. For a chance to win it, please visit my site at http://www.LaurenRoyal.com to see a picture of the necklace, read an excerpt of VIOLET, answer a simple question, and enter your name. Don't forget to enter the Signet Treasure Hunt, too, for a chance to win several autographed books (including one of mine!). You can find that contest at http://SignetNAL.home.att.net. Attention everyone in and around San Diego: Saturday and Sunday, June 19th and 20th, I'll be signing books at the San Diego Highland Games at Brengle Terrace Park in Vista, California. I'll be there from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm both days, so if you're in the area, do come out and visit! You'll find me in the vendors' section at Tea & Sympathy's booth. For more information, please see the "Appearances" page on my website. Happy summer! Always, ~Lauren ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fall in love with a historical romance by Lauren Royal The Flower Trilogy: VIOLET, LILY, and ROSE The Jewel Trilogy: AMETHYST, EMERALD, and AMBER Win a solid 14k gold necklace at http://www.LaurenRoyal.com Win autographed books at http://SignetNAL.home.att.net
