misslj_author | Noble Romance Competitions!

Cover With Jimmy Thomas.

Have you ever dreamed of being a hero or heroine in a romance story? We know the answer – who hasn't?

Noble Romance would like to give you the opportunity to fulfill that dream. We want to not only have you dictate the storyline, names of characters, and setting, but we want your image to appear on the cover of the finished story, with international romance novel cover model, Jimmy Thomas.

To enter the contest, this is what you have to do:

* Write down a story idea, in a contemporary setting.
* Name two characters, male/female; male/male
* Occupations, if important to your story idea
* Title
* Any pertinent details your story can't live without

Two stories will be selected and your stories will be written within three weeks of the announcement of the winners. That announcement will be made on June 4th, on Facebook, and Twitter, with the winners being notified by e-mail.

PRIZES:

* Author Bryl R. Tyne will write a story of 5-7 thousand words, incorporating as many details as you give him.
* Each winner will be asked to email us a photo they'd like to have on the cover alongside the gorgeous Jimmy Thomas. (There will be quality requirements for the photo – think high-quality of the Glamour Shots caliber.)
* Each winner will have full rights to their e-book, to do with as they wish.
* Bryl and the winner will appear as authors.
* They will also receive a cover flat of their cover, signed personally to them by Jimmy Thomas.

Now get creative and email your story ideas to: CoverwithJimmyThomas@nobleromance.com

Deadline to get story ideas in is May 31, 2011, no exceptions.

WELCOME TREASURE HUNTERS.

Beginning on May 22nd, Noble Romance Publishing will be sponsoring a treasure hunt. Your ultimate prize will be a shiny new Kindle.

Now here's how it works:

1. You must sign up to play. Email your name and contact email address to: treasurehunt@nobleromance.com. Registrations will be accepted until May 24th.

2. On the morning of May 22nd, in each registrant's email, you will receive a play sheet, with all the instructions you'll need to join the fun.

3. Using the play sheet, you'll visit each listed author's website and spend some time checking out their back lists, while searching for a specially marked Noble Romance book cover.

4. Once you've found the book cover at each site, write down the code found beneath each book. You will need these codes to unscramble the words and win the Kindle.

5. The codes are the secret to the prize. All will be explained on the play sheet.

Along the way, you will undoubtedly find books you'd like to check out. During this treasure hunt, all books on the participating author's Noble Romance back lists will be on sale.

The aim of the game is to locate all the book covers listed and unscramble the answers to two questions.

There's no need to chase around the country looking for clues, because this is a virtual treasure hunt and everything can be done online from the comfort of your own home.

This game will tap your knowledge of the romance genre, but we promise, most every fan of romance has a more than fighting chance. However, this contest will put your wits and ingenuity to the test.

You must register by emailing your name and email address to: treasurehunt@nobleromance.com, to receive your play sheet.

Clues will be sent to each registrant on morning of May 22nd and all solutions must be emailed back to treasurehunt@nobleromance.com, no later than midnight, May 26th. You have plenty of time to find all the book covers and get to know the authors of those books.

Winner will be announced during the day on May 27th.

The first entry picked out of the correct solutions will win a new Kindle e-reader.
Other prizes will be awarded as well, including author swag and gift cards for Noble Romance.

Void where prohibited. United States entries only please.
