Michelle Styles let us know that Mills & Boon is running a contest for unpublished authors, with the main prize being publication of the winning book in one of the London-edited series. The details are at this website. Michelle is also doing one of the Masterclasses, held on September 1, 2010 at Knaresborough library in North Yorkshire. This Masterclass, presented by Mills & Boon, is designed to help showcase the contest opportunities. Best of luck to all who enter!

We'll also draw the winner of Carla Capshaw's THE PROTECTOR, an inspirational historical romance set in ancient Rome. You still have time to leave a comment or question for your chance to win.

Remember, you don't have to be an Unusual Historicals contributor to submit good news to the weekend announcements. If it has to do with unusual historicals, we'd love to shout it out to the world! Send announcements to Carrie. See you next week...
