Today’s the Day
Call it a shameless plug (because it is, really), if you will, but today I’m going to shove a book a you (or at anyone you know who happens to enjoy a sweet romance).
Part of this shove is simply because I hope it sells well (that’s the shameless part, in case you’re wondering). The other part (a.k.a. plug), though, is because I really think it’s a cool story–one that shows just how hard (yet, ultimately satisfying) it can be to overcome the hurt left by past relationships in order to find true happiness.
Okay, so here we go…
A Mom For Callie–the Harlequin American Romance I’ve written under the name, Laura Bradford–released today! And as is the case with this line, the book will only be available on store shelves for one month. One month. That’s it.
Starting today, you can find A Mom For Callie in Walmart, K-mart, Borders, and a few other locations (if you see it somewhere other than these three stores, let me know). If you patronize a book store that doesn’t carry this line, they should be able to order it for you without any problems. It’s cheap–only $ 4.99–and it’s fun…a great summer beach read for the romance reader in your life! 
You can also buy it online through all of the standard online book venues, including eharlequin.com!
Finally, in case you’re looking for a plug that’s a little less shameless, A Mom for Callie received a 4 1/2 star Top Pick from Night Owl romance. You can
read the review here.
Oh, and one more thing. Sharon Gallagher over at Sharon’s Garden of Book Reviews (sharonsgardenofbookreviews.blogspot.com) had this to say about the book… “With her latest novel, A Mom For Callie, author Laura Bradford combines a charmingly sweet tale of two lost souls looking for love, with a healthy dose of saucy romance, a dash of thrilling mystery and a generous helping of lively characters to create a story that will stay with readers long after the last page is turned.”
Happy reading!!!

P.S. I was in the local Wal-Mart here (just checking to see if it was on the shelf) and I got a cool surprise. It looks as if Wal-mart is part of a promotion for the Harlequin American Line this month–buy 3 titles in the line for $ 9.99. The cool part is the fact that they used A Mom for Callie’s cover for the promotion!! If you see this out in the wild, too, let me know!! And if you decide to take advantage of this promo, check out some of the other authors out this month…all talented writers!

I bought two copies of it on Sunday at B & N in Waterloo, IA…You had your own shelf in the Harlequinn section. Congratulations on another book on the shelves of stores and homes around the US!

Don’t read much Harlequin, but I’m a big Laura Bradford fan

Good luck!

Awesome that you got picked up for the promo!!!
And just so you know…at least one flannel-wearin’, God-fearin’, backwoods-hikin’, corn fed country boy will be standing in the Romance section of Wal-Mart, picking up a Harlequin this month.

I got one!! I found it at Borders in downtown Milwaukee. You need to make a visit here to get your books moved from the 2nd from the bottom, aisle-side spot to the top spot on the aisle!! I was going to move them myself but thought better of it since I am a frequent shopper. But wouldn’t that get you some publicity???

Joe…I’d love a picture of that flannel-wearin’, God-fearin’, backwoods-hikin’, corn fed country boy holding my book. For advertising reasons, of course. LOL.
Mary, *usually* the Harlequins are in a set holder at Borders stores. If that was the case, the American line gets a specific spot. But I can still visit!
Virtual chocolate and congrats are great, thanks everyone! Go forth and spread the word.
