Looking Forward to Summer event (May 12th-19th)
As part of Coffee Time Romance and The Romance Studio's May 2012 Extravaganza, we are hosting a Looking Forward to Summer event at the Beachwalk Press section of the Coffee Time Romance Forums May 12th-19th.
Each day that week we'll post a different summer related topic and everyone who replies will be entered into a drawing for a prize to be given away at the end of the week (actually, we'll probably give away a couple of prizes 
). Reply to each topic to have your name entered into the drawing multiple times.

At the Beach, Round 2!
Our first At the Beach series was so successful that we're doing a round 2, and it starts today!
Just like the first one, each author will be posting a micro-novel at their own blog. Once a week they'll post 100-500 words of the book until it is complete.
When all the stories are done, they'll be combined into a single download, which will be available for free here at the Beachwalk Press website.
The participating authors are listed below, along with the titles of their stories, the days they will be posting, and the links for where you can find the posts.
We hope you'll join our authors on this new and exciting adventure!
