My new book, The Upside of Down, went press last week. Woo hoo!! In celebration, I'm going holding a contest for a $50 gift certificate to Amazon. I've never done a pre-order contest before, but my goal is . . . 1000 copies pre-ordered in 10 days. That's 100 pre-orders each day. I'm so excited! With your help, I know we can do it!
In case you haven't seen the cover or read the blurb:
Natalie wrinkled her forehead, almost afraid to ask, and said, “What does that mean?”
“You do know you’re pregnant, right?”
Her breath caught in her throat. “Excuse me?”
“You’re pregnant.”
Her heartbeat thundered in her ears. “I’m what?”
Natalie Drake certainly has her hands full raising a large family, dealing with her difficult mother, and maintaining a relationship with her rebellious teenager. Just when things seem to be going smoothly, she finds out another unexpected surprise—she’s going to have a baby. Faced with so many challenges, Natalie must learn to trust in a plan that isn’t what she imagined and discover that every situation has an upside.
Beloved author Rebecca Talley carefully creates this touching and heartfelt story that is sure to inspire you. With true-to-life characters and situations, The Upside of Down will reignite your faith and remind you of the importance of family.
Here are the rules:
1. Pre-order my book at Amazon here.
2. Send me a copy or your receipt or other proof of purchase for the pre-order at rebecca(AT)rebeccatalley(DOT)com to be entered into the drawing. Each pre-order gets one entry into the contest--if you purchase two, or ten :), as gifts each one garners an entry
3. The contest runs from Monday November 8, 2010 until midnight on Thursday, November 18, 2010. You must send me proof of purchase during these dates to qualify.
4. The winner will be chosen at random and posted on Friday, November 19, 2010 on my blog http://www.rebeccatalleywrites.blogspot.com/.
5. The winner will receive a $50.00 gift certificate to Amazon--just in time to use for Christmas!
The books should be available for shipping in late December or early January.
You can read the prologue here.
I broke up the first chapter into segments, but you can now read the whole thing on my blog.
Tell all your friends! Thank you!!!!

I'm a new CFI author and wondering if there is any way to know where your book is actually on shelves (apart from driving to every book store). Any info?

Your book should be placed alphabetically according to genre. Usually, all the LDS fiction is placed in the same area in bookstores. Does that help?
Actually, I didn't mean where in the store, I meant where (as in where in the world). For instance. If I want to see if any Barnes and Nobles in the area are carrying my book, how would I find out without driving there. Sorry, that wasn't very clear.
CFI can give you a list of the stores that have ordered your book. Is it an LDS title?
Okay, thanks. Yes it is an LDS title.
