Dear friends and family~

Welcome to all my new subscribers, including those of you I had the pleasure of meeting at this month's Celtic Christmas Faire! I know it's the middle of the busy, busy holiday season, so I'm going to make this newsletter short and sweet...

First off, congratulations to Glena Spurgeon, my second ART OF TEMPTATION sweepstakes winner! I usually say where the winner lives, but in Glena's case I'm not sure, because I haven't heard back from her with confirmation of her address yet. (Glena: if you're reading this, please send me an e-mail at Lauren@LaurenRoyal.com, so I can get your sterling silver claddagh necklace into the mail to you.)

There are still four more chances to win the necklace pictured on the back of THE ART OF TEMPTATION, so if you haven't entered yet, do it soon! One entry is good for all the monthly drawings, and the earlier you enter, the more chances you'll have to win. You'll find the entry form on my site at http://www.LaurenRoyal.com -- just click where it says "Sweepstakes" on the menu.

In other news, my local chapter of Romance Writers of America is auctioning off a beautiful, handmade quilt. What's the big deal, you say? Well, this quilt was autographed by 100 authors, including New York Times bestsellers, romance favorites, crime and thriller novelists...and me! You can see a picture and bid on the quilt on eBay at http://tinyurl.com/ytkeb2. The auction runs until Sunday, December 23.

There's a new website at http://www.WritersAreReaders.com, where published authors review other writers' current books. Authors get to choose any book they'd like, and for my first review I picked a new favorite, WORLD WITHOUT END by Ken Follett. You can read my review at http://www.writersarereaders.com/royalfollettworldwithoutend.html ...it's actually the first review I've ever written! It felt strange (but fun) to be on the other side of the review equation, for a change.

Before I let you get back to your shopping and wrapping and baking and all-around-celebrating, I want to wish you the happiest of holidays and a joyful 2008. See you next year!

Hugs,
~Lauren
