    Have a great weekend.

  • Make Me Laugh Contest


    Mandy here again. I get to tell you about the contest!

    Now, if you’ve been following Lynn Rush on the blog, facebook, or twitter, you know she loves to laugh. Heck, Friday Funnies has been going on for a while now. She’s always looking for fun new ways to laugh.

    Even in the stories she reads.

    So, it’s time to get the laugh on.

    Write Lynn a short story that’ll make her laugh so hard, tears will be streaming down her face.

    Seriously.

    I hope Lynn lets me read the entries too, this sounds fun!

    She wants YOUR story. Here are the deets:

    1. 1,000 words or less.

    2. Comedy-doesn’t matter which genre. Make me laugh!!!

    3. Paste your story into the body of an email and send to: [email protected]. **NO attachments please, they’ll get deleted automatically**

    4. Subject line of the email should read: Catch the Rush Comedy Contest.

    5. Did I remember to say 1,000 words or less? Yep, that’s #1 on the list. But remember, 1000 words or less. Cuz that’s a lot of reading otherwise. . . .

    6. Contest runs from RIGHT NOW to July 25th , 2010 – let’s say MIDNIGHT on the 25th (Pacific time). Winner announced on July 31st.

    7. I better set a limit to the entries, just in case we get an outpouring, you know? So, I’ll cap it at 50 entries.

    What’s the prize for your efforts?

    A GIFT CARD!

    Yep, $25.00 card to Barnes and Noble. You’re not surprised it’s to Barnes and Noble, are you? I mean, Lynn is a writer AND a reader. . .

    GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE!

    ~~~

    The rules/guidelines/general boring information I have to share when I do a contest.I’m not associated with Barnes and Noble in any way. They didn’t give me the card to give away. I just really like them and since I’m a writer/reader, I figured I’d give that away as a prize. Winners must reside in the continental US. When the winner is announced, he/she must contact me. If he/she doesn’t contact me within 30 days, the prize is forfeited. One entry per person. Don’t post your entry on the blog, email it to: [email protected]. Put your story in the body of the email. No attachments. Subject line should read: Catch the Rush Comedy Contest. Anything I deem vulgar and just plain disgusting, I’ll delete. I know, that’s really subjective, but hey, my blog, my rules, right? The winner is chosen by me, solely by me, and I know that is subjective, too, but see previous sentence for my thoughts on that J The entry that has me in stitches will win, it’s that simple. Ultimately, this is all in good fun, so play nice, okay? Let’s have some good, clean, literary fun, okay? If you have questions, leave them in the comments, we’ll get them answered asap.

  • Win a gift card


    Big changes to the blog begin Monday the 14th!!

    My characters are taking over for the week, introducing a new blog look, talking music, movies, and fun stuff.

    Should make for an interesting Throwback Thursday segment since a few of my characters are over 400 years old. . . .

    Anyway, to celebrate the changes, I’m running a little contest this week (14th-18th).

    Here are the deets:

    Grand Prize: $25.00 Barnes and Noble gift card.

    Anyone who leaves a comment on any of this week’s posts starting Monday the 14th through Friday the 18th is entered!

    Yep, that means if you leave a comment every day this week on the posts my characters put up, you’ll be entered five times in the drawing.

    ***Oh, but there’s more***

    If you want an EXTRA entry in the drawing all you have to do is subscribe to the blog. See where it says “Subscribe via email” on the left hand side there? That’s where you do it. Anyone who subscribes to the blog Monday the 14th-Friday the 18th will get an extra entry in the pot for the drawing.

    ***Okay, ONE more way to get an extra entry***

    To earn another EXTRA entry in the drawing, come join my fan page. You can click the link here, or on the left side there you’ll see the badge “Visit my Page.” Click that and you’re there. I think they changed it to say, “LIKE” instead of “JOIN”, but whichever, anyone who joins between Monday the 14th through Friday the 18th will get an extra entry in the drawing.

    Soooooo…….

    If I’m doing my math right. . . you could have a chance to be entered up to SEVEN times for the $25.00 gift card! Pretty sweet odds if you think about it.

    And you never know, my fun characters might put up chances for you to get extra entries, as well, in their posts….they’re kind of unpredictable you know? I mean, half-demons, tiny people with wings, telepaths….just never know what you’re gonna get with them!

    Winner will be announced Saturday June 19th

    So, I hope you join me for a fun-filled week celebrating the launch of my new blog design and hanging with a few of my characters.

    Now for the fun part: The rules/guidelines/general boring information I have to share when I do a contest.I’m not associated with Barnes and Noble in any way. They didn’t give me the card to give away. I just really like them and since I’m a writer/reader, I figured I’d give that away as a prize. Winners must reside in the continental US. When the winner is announced on SATURDAY the 19th, he/she must contact me. If he/she doesn’t contact me within 30 days, the prize is forfeited. I’ll count one comment per post toward the entries. You can comment as much as you want, but only one will go toward the drawing. Just the comments on the characters posts will be counted–so no going to every page on the site to put a comment, although you’re more than welcome to, they just won’t be counted in the drawing as an entry. Ultimately, this is all in good fun, so play nice, okay?

  • Celebrating with a drawing


    Want to win a three-pack of fun, inspiring romance novels?

    Then you’re at the right blog.

    Your continued support has helped make a few things happen, and I wanted to say thanks by giving away some books!

    First off, I’ve reached and surpassed the 600 blog post milestone. I love blogging, and you guys make it so fun.

    Second, the Light of Truth blog has over 1200 followers! You guys are great.

    Third, the Lynn Rush “fan” page on Facebook is nearing 1900 fans. It’s such a joy sharing this journey toward publication with you all!

    I have so much to celebrate and what better way than to give away some of my favorite things–BOOKS!

    So, a little three-pack of books is up for grabs. Ready-Made Family, by Cheryl Wyatt, Romance by the Book, by Myra Johnson, and At His Command, by Brenda Coulter.

    They’re sweet, fun romances that’ll make you smile!

    To enter: Leave a comment on this post. But there’s a twist***IF you want more entries into the drawing, refer your friends to this post and have them leave a comment. They’ve got to name you specifically, though, and when they do, you get another entry in the drawing.

    Have fun, and thank you to everyone for being a part of this journey. I’ll pick a winner Friday night around 9pm (Pacific Time) and announce the winner on Saturday’s post.
