Birthday Week Two Winners!



To celebrate our birthday, we will be giving away a weekly birthday present through the month of October. All you have to do is what you always do---stop by, say hi, laugh and share your insights and thoughts. Random names will be drawn and announced, but because it is a birthday present, of course what is inside is a surprise.


This week's winner is Jessica Nelson.


There was also a trivia contest last weekend.
We asked you to guess who was the first
Seeker to leave Unpubbed Island by selling her first book.

The answer?


Debby Giusti
with
Nowhere to Hide,

Steeple Hill Love Inspired Suspense,

April 2007

Debby's latest book,
Countdown to Death,
Steeple Hill Love Inspired Suspense,
is an October 14, 2008 release


And the winner who guessed this correctly is AusJenny!

Jenny and Jessica please email me at
tina@tinarusso.com with your
email address and snail mail address.
Congratulations!





This week in Seekerville we're popping corks all over the place.

Congratulations to Julie, Myra and Missy!!

If you missed Julie Lessman's post this week,
Revell has offered her another 3-book contract.


Missy Tippens has made a 3rd sale to Steeple Hill Love Inspired! Tentatively titled A Forever Christmas, the book will be out November or December 2009.


Besides her first sale---One Im-Perfect Christmas, accepted by Barbara Scott at Abingdon Press, for a September 2009 release, Myra Johnson has sold
Autumn Rains, to JoAnne Simmons at Heartsong Presents,
for an October 2009 release


Congratulations Seekers!!
