Give-a-way.
I have a book to give a way, it's called Knock Yourself Up: No Man? No Problem: A Tell-All Guide to Becoming a Single Mom, it was sent to me directly from the publishers, the Penguin Group, who thought my readers may be interested in it.
This book hasn't been released yet (will be released on October 18th), so you'd be getting a brand new preview copy.
Book description;
More and more women are choosing not to let being single stand in the way of becoming a mom. In this honest and often hilarious guide, Louise Sloan shares the details of her own funny and heartbreaking journey to single motherhood-including cyberstalking an anonymous sperm donor, dealing with exploding semen vials, and being mistaken for a horse breeder-as well as the experiences of many other women across the country. Knock Yourself Up offers an inside look at the logistical and legal processes of opting for single motherhood, drawing on the personal stories of women who have done it. Addressing a range of topics such as coping with loneliness, financial struggles, complex reactions of family members, and more, Knock Yourself Up covers the emotional and practical issues and provides the kind of intimate answers you won't find anywhere else to questions like:- When is the right time to decide to have a baby alone?
- How do I choose the right sperm?
- Is this fair to the kid?
- How do I tell my parents?
- How do I tell my dates?
- What's it like to be pregnant on your own?
- If I do this, will I ever have sex-or a life-again?Informative and entertaining, Knock Yourself Up is a fun-to-read, up-to-date guide for any woman who is considering taking the baby plunge, with inspiring stories from women who have created happy families on their own.

As a single female, this book sounds ideal. I'm not a mom yet. But I'm sure there's some keen advice in their for all of us to use!
Thanks for dropping by my corner of the blogosphere.
We'll definitely be in touch! And I've added your comedy venue in Sarasota to my MySpace friends. I'll make sure to let you know whenever I do a stand-up comedy tour down there!

I'm not entering the drawing for the book, but I did write a blog post about it.

I think the book sounds like it would be a great resource for anyone interested. Good men are very hard to find...most of the good ones seem to be already married, or gay.
