Apparently it's already on some shelves though at Walmart, because Rebekah from My Rotten Dogs sent me this:

A Giveaway
To celebrate the book being in 1700 Walmarts (and RESCUE ME, MAYBE in 1400 of them), I'm having a contest. To enter, go hunting for either book in your local Walmart!
The details
1. To enter, send me a pic of your efforts to find the book. Since I don't want to penalize folks who try but can't find the book, you can just send me a pic of the books section at Walmart if the book's not there. (We reward effort around here!)
2. You can "send" it to enter either by tagging me on Twitter (@JackieBouchard) or posting it on my Facebook page (Jackie Bouchard Writer) or you can email me (jackiebouchard AT hotmail DOT com).
3. You have until noon Pacific Time Sunday, the 15th of November to enter. I'll randomly select the winners and announce them on my Monday Mischief post for Nov. 16. It's US only (sorry non-US folks!) since the book is only available in US Walmarts.
4. Prizes: there will be two winners of $25 Amazon gift cards, which will hopefully come in handy for your holiday shopping! I'm also sending news of the contest out to my newsletter subscribers (visit my website if you want to sign up!) but I really have no idea how many people might enter. So far it's just Rebekah! So who knows - odds might be good you could win!
In Other News...
1. Stop by Tail of Two Cardis for a really cute review of HOUSE TRAINED, and US folks can enter to win a paperback! If for no other reason, you should stop by to see the adorable pic of Jimmy "reading" the book.
2. On Monday, I'll be on Joyful Paw's blog. I was interviewed by the lovely Barbara Techel, a fellow author. So, if you want to hear my squirrely voice, and hear Barbara and I bond about being childless by choice, stop on by!
3. If you have a paperback copy of my books that you would like signed, I got these adorable bookplate stickers that I can sign and mail to you. Email me if you'd like one!
4. Finally, if you've read HOUSE TRAINED, you should be able to leave a review on Amazon starting Tuesday. You can say you "received an advance copy in exchange for an honest review." Thank you!!

So exciting!! This is really cool. I am going to read it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope you'll enjoy it!
DeleteI like that book plate! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteDidn't they come out cute!? I might need to try to get a t-shirt with that on. :)
DeleteWay to go Jackie! 1700 Walmarts is soo good.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Wish it was also in Canadian Walmarts! (Maybe if it sells well in the US....)
DeleteHow cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's exciting! (I need to go see if I can find it myself!)
DeleteThis is so exciting. I typically avoid Walmart like the plague, but I suspect I might have to bend my rules on this one. LOL
ReplyDeletelol. I must admit, I am a Target girl myself, but, yeah, I'm also going to have to bend the rules and go see if I can find the books at my local store!
DeleteI"ll be searching for it on the shelves! The bookplates are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI just finished House Trained so my post will be up soon! LOVED it!
Let me know if you find it! Hooray - so glad you loved the book!
DeleteI'm REALLY hoping I receive my pre ordered copy before we see you this weekend! I'm wanting to get it signed!! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy sis said she got an email saying she'd receive it on the 20th, so hopefully you will too!
DeleteHmm... I may have to venture into Walmart for this... and we never go to Walmart!
ReplyDeleteI know - I never go to Walmart either - but I went today! Couldn't find HT, but I found RMM! (And Halloween candy...)
DeleteCongrats on the launch!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Sorry my Canadian buds can't play along! I emailed the publisher today to doublecheck, and yup - not gonna be in Canadian Walmarts. Boo!
DeleteNot Walmart fans at our house, but it is great they have your book as they are a super popular store!
ReplyDeleteHopefully people will buy the book! When I went in Walmart today the only person in the book section (which is WAY at the back!) was a super old man. Not exactly my target market....
DeleteCongratulations! That is such great distribution!
ReplyDeleteNow I just need folks to actually buy it so Walmart doesn't return them all to the publisher!
DeleteCongratulations, how exciting! I hope to get it read and get a review up soon too! I had hoped to have it done by now...I need to work on my time management skills (I currently have none).
ReplyDeleteNo worries - whenever you get to it is seriously fine with me! I have no problem with stretching these things out!
DeleteCongrats on your books being in so many stores. I would just love to check it out, but October and my three day work weeks and heading to the cabin are getting the best of me. I have no time for anything...lol.
ReplyDeleteI know! It's hard to make time to read! I have SO many books I need/want to get through!
DeleteThanks for my entry! I was so excited when I saw it!
ReplyDeleteI was excited when you posted that you saw it! So far I've only got 3 entries so odds are good you'll win! And you're the only one who's actually found the book so far!
Deleteoh crap I was just at wally world today, I will look next time. very cool for you!
ReplyDeleteOh, darn! You'll have to check next time so I can enter you! You've got until mid-November!
DeleteWALMART is huge in SC. I mean HUGE!!!! So the next time I'm there I shall grab my copy. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteWell, be sure to snap a pic (even if you don't see the book) so I can enter you!
