Okay. I've been wrestling over these rules for over a week, and I don't think they're going to get any clearer (for me or you guys). So, first off, this tote bag is full of good stuff, starting with a copy of the new Nora Roberts/J. D. Robb title, Remember When; a Leanne Banks "When She's Bad" t-shirt; an autographed copy of Terri Brisbin's The Dumont Bride and a pen; an autographed copy of Shirley Hailstock's A Father's Fortune; an autographed copy of Susan Meier's Love, Your Secret Admirer; an autographed copy of Virginia Kantra's Her Beautiful Assassin; a Carly Phillips notepad; a Linda Needham coaster; a copy of Elda Minger's The Dare; a copy of Katie MacAlister's Men in Kilts; flavored hot cocoa mixes; and some BellaOnline Romance Novels goodies...a long-sleeved t-shirt, a baseball cap, and a tile coaster.

The rules are as follows....

You must be registered to use the forum to participate. Registration is painless and free.

For each of the next three weeks (through 11/22/03), two questions pertaining to a romance novel--ie, plot, characters, etc--or romance author will be asked on the forum. The first person who hasn't won a book from us in the last 30 days (prior to October 4, 2003) to answer each question correctly will have their name added to the fourth week's "winner's pool," so that by the time we get to the fourth week (11/23 - 11/29/03), we could have as many as six names in the "winner's pool." No one may answer more than once in a week, but you may answer in each of the three question weeks. Each week's second question will not be asked until the first one is answered correctly. If no one answers the first question correctly, there will be no name entered in the pool from that week.

In the fourth week, one final question will be asked of the people whose names make up the winner's pool. The first person from the winner's pool to answer correctly will get the goody bag.

Whew! No wonder I spent half of last week with a headache. lol

So, get ready, and good luck, all!
