Also, for sake of crazies and since this hop has gone a little wonky, I believe running a giveaway on our own blogs would be best instead of Rafflecopter. Please run your giveaway from the time you post to the end of the blog hop, or around 3-5 days after if you are one of the last posters. You may giveaway any of the prizes you announced here, that's fine.

We'll advertise the best we can via Facebook, Twitter, AW, Goodreads, any other forum/website that allows advertisement. During the blog hop, update this thread with your post and prize giveaway so it's easier for everyone to advertise what's going on.

If you've never hosted a giveaway, blog hosted giveaways go a little something like this: People will comment on your post, leaving their email address. At the end of the giveaway, draw from a hat, or there are websites that draw numbers, a winner(s) for the prize(s).

Hmm, well, here is the thread about last years blog hop. http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=268236&highlight=blog

Basically, each day between May 8th and the 23rd (which this year will be different) each participant posted something on their blog and we linked to the other participants. I believe we put together a prize package for readers who commented on the blogs to win.

It was open to all erotic authors, published or not.

Maybe someone else will add to it, or remember it a bit better than I can.

Same here, but I won't have a paperback available until August. I'll of course add ebooks to the prize though.

I think we'll leave this discussion up for a while to give others time to respond.

And it's okay if your blog isn't erotica. It can be about anything as long as you are willing to market your erotic book on it.

A few questions to consider:

1. Who will be the facilitator? Basically the person responsible for the grand prize pack.

2. Who would like to design our banner? Or should we have a vote?

3. What would you like to giveaway in both the grand prize and/or on your own blog during the hop?

4. Last year, we had author questions to answer for the blog hop. Should we do the same or do something different?
