Books We Love contest features books and coins

Books We Love launches new contest featuring prizes that include books and coins from BWL authors around the world

(PRWEB) September 19, 2004 -- Books We Love is a group of small press authors managed by mystery writer Jude Morris, http://www.judemorris.net

When Jude's Indian Creek Texas mysteries (Deadly Secrets and Deadly Betrayal) were published by small press publisher Hard Shell Word Factory, she discovered that small press authors were required to spend their own money for book promotion and that put them at an extreme disadvantage compared to those authors published by the giant publishing conglomerates with deep pockets.

That's when Jude decided to form Books We Love, a group of 90 authors published by small press publishers who use their combined membership fees to promote their books using internet search engines, banner advertising, targeted readership ads, monthly contests, and search engine keywords and paid inclusion index listings.

The income from Books We Love pays for promotions, maintenance of the BWL website, and the prizes given away at the contest. Member authors are published by the small press publishers listed at http://www.bookswelove.net/publisherswelove.html

The index http://www.bookswelove.net links visitors to author and genre indexes and the contest.

There are four grand prizes being offered in the current contest which can be found at http://www.bookswelove.net/contest.html

The prizes offered include books and ebooks from the Books We Love authors around the world as well as the following grand prizes:

One 1995 uncirculated set of UK coins in the original Royal Mint Folder with Additional Information Leaflets and Outer Case. PLUS one autographed copy of UK author Robina Williams' fantasy novel, Jerome and the Seraph:

One Royal Australian Mint 1988 commemorative coin set, including decorative folder and display. PLUS one autographed copy of Australian author Maureen McMahon's romantic suspense novel, Shadows in the Mist

One 1980 S US Mint Silver proof set, including the Susan B. Anthony Dollar and Kennedy half dollar. PLUS one authographed copy of US author Marilyn Meredith's mystery novel, Wings.
