Hump Day Updates–Some Kind of Wonderful!
One of my HOT Club’s top HOTees and an all around generous and fun author, Patricia Terrell, gave me this award.
She’s pretty wonderful and the award is pretty wonderful, too. So today’s updates shall come in the form of a list of things I find just, well, wonderful. :)
1. The HOT Club–From Chester to Delphina to Sherrikki, I dare anyone to prove they have cooler fans. This secret Facebook group is my fave place to duck in while procrastinating word count, burning dinner or about to say goodnight. Thank you HOTees, for making my day every day.
2. The Indie Book Collective–How on earth did I get so lucky as to meet Carolyn McCray and help her found this group. I can’t even begin to measure all I’ve learned thanks to her and this group. Feb. 3rd marks the Bestseller For a Day 1st birthday and “8 Hearts Beat as One” will be headlining this event. It’s a Valentine’s anthology that will give you all sorts of warm fuzzies and sighs. AND all this week, the 2nd annual Blog Tour de Force “Get Loaded” tour is feeding fans with free ebooks, chances to win and a scavenger hunt. Today’s stop is Chelsea Fine with her latest release “Anew“. If you’re a Twi-hard like me, you’ll eat this baby up! Every comment is a win.
3. “The Sweetest Fling”, book two in the Stupid Cupid series is on the release list and, barring any hiccups, will be out by Feb. 3rd to help out Bestseller For a Day. This event is going to be special because we’re celebrating the program’s birthday by going FREE. Sweet! (I heart free.)
4. I now get to nominate three blogs I think are wonderful! My nominees are….
-I Smell Sheep...Baaaaaa!
-Close Encounters With The Night Kind…so pretty and I drool on Erik.
-Rachel in the OC…snarkalicious!
It’s a wonderful start to another wonderful year. So tell me, what is wonderful in your world today?
PS: Who else freaking loved that kiss scene from the movie Some Kind of Wonderful? HOT!!
Blog Tour de Troops–starts HERE!
Welcome to stop #1 in the four day event known as Blog Tour de Troops. Last Memorial Day weekend, the authors on this tour gathered 10,000 ebooks for troops. Let’s put that number in check, together.
At each stop, just for commenting, you win an ebook for yourself plus one for a soldier. For stop #2, Terri Guiliano Long, click here.
When I was little, my Uncle Harry told my sisters and I that his many medals were for “Peeling Potatoes” and “Washing Dishes.” He’d tell us tall tales about riding tortoises taller than him across the Sahara Desert. On the wall of his trailer, hung a framed letter from President George Bush thanking him for his years of service.
He died a highly decorated soldier before I was old enough to appreciate that a Purple Heart was more than just the prettiest one.
I get to live in a country where I can walk my neighborhood without fear of car bombings thanks to my Uncle Harry and hundreds of thousands of other men and women who give their lives for the larger good.
I’m grateful beyond words for such a precious gift.
I’m a music lover and every novel I write has a soundtrack I’ve created to get into character and scene. I love the story of this song in particular and wanted to share it as we remember the bravest among us this weekend.
In honor of Veteran’s Day, please leave a comment telling me your favorite ‘soldier’ song and as thanks, I’ll send you an ebook of WANTED, my time travel romance, plus give one to a soldier.
Your comment will also enter you to win a brand, new Kindle and the proceeds of this tour go toward the purchase of Kindles for troops. Books are the number one requested care package item and we’re out to fill that need together.
***If you’d like to donate money toward those Kindles, simply use Paypal and ibcprograms@gmail.com as the address.***
Bless you and the soldier in your life.

Blog Tour de Force–Who’s under my mask?
Well, hello, hello! I see you caught me haunting the page of the fabulous Amber Scott! Wouldn’t you do the same? I mean honestly…this place is riddled with gorgeous alpha males and feisty heroines to match. Everyone knows that is equal to perfection in my book…well they would if they knew who I was under this mask.
It is DAY 1, STOP 1, in Blog Tour de Force’s “Masquerade” and that means a FREE ebook just for commenting, plus your shot at a KINDLE, plus your shot at Amber’s infamous HOT Kit. (Only the winner can reveal what is inside.)
***Don’t forget to leave your email address for your ebook(s)***
So do you think you know who I am? Care to render a guess and try for some extra Kindle points? Go right ahead…I dare you! See if you can get all these Masquerade Blog Tour De Force authors pegged with one glance.
I will wait for you…I’ll just sit here with my nose buried in Amber’s book, Soul Search, and allow myself to get completely lost in one of Grant’s delicious werewolf kisses. *Sigh* There’s nothing better than a good kiss, especially when it’s delivered from a wonderful, tortured, handsome, werewolf with wounds and secrets buried deep inside. Oh, to be the lucky woman to help him overcome all that! Wrap that up in an awesome paranormal storyline with psychics, visions, symbols and ghosts and, “Wha-la!”—like I said before…perfection!
Of course we have some other good werewolf action happening on this tour. Have you checked out Cherished, the latest installment from Belinda Boring’s Mystic Wolves serial? Mason’s heartfelt emotions nearly brought me to my knees! What a guy!
Or what about another great story by Rachel Thompson and Kelli McCracken, The Evil Within. Are you ready for this ride?
You don’t have to take my word for it. Amber’s book review sponsors agree and if you comment on any of their sites with the phrase “Slay Me HOT!” you get an extra free ebook of her 
title WANTED!! Here they are:
Close Encounters With The Night Kind
My list could go on and on with one great read right after another, like Change of Heart, by the awesome Jackie Chanel or Gifts of Blood, by Vicki Keire, so get out there and trick-or-treat a bit…what’s better than a goodie bag of FREE ebooks? Don’t you just LOVE the Blog Tour De Force? It makes reading FUN!
So comment away my lovelies…make your guesses and get your free ebook copy of Soul Search. Don’t forget to leave your email address with your comment so Amber can send Soul Search to you, and check out her awesome giveaway…
Okay, thanks for chatting with me. I’m off to reapply my lip gloss now so I will be ready for more of Grant’s kisses!! #HappyHaunting!
