St. Patrick's Day Blog Hop

Want to win some books? Well today's your Luck day because me and 120 other authors are going to be telling you anything they can about being Irish, celebrating the day, wearing green, drinking green beer... pretty much anything!

Each author will be giving away a prize. Like a swag pack, gift cards, ebooks, print books, and so much more.

PLUS We have TWO Grand Prizes for TWO different winners! *gasp*

Grand Prize 1: Winner's Choice of a Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet

Grand Prize 2: Winner's Choice of a $90 Amazon or Barnes&Noble Gift Card

Isn't that exciting? LOL. So what do you have to do? Well, go to these websites and comment, stop by as many as you want. The grand prize winners will be chosen at random from the commenters - meaning you can comment on EACH blog - meaning 120 entries to the grand prize!!

Sounds great right? Come on over and wear your green and win some prizes!!!

So now that you know all the in and outs :) let's get started...

First I have a poem for you:

Silken Lady

A silken coat enhances her elegance,
casually clad, but warm and enfolding
her slim limbs in folds of furry fragrance;
green eyes gaze haughtily- a heart beholding.

She licks her lips, a pink tongue seen- disappears;
a lazy yawn, with blinking eyes, amazes,
her devoted audience she domineers.
A soft scream- hairs on end- her purr appraises.

Second I have a question for you:

What is it about Romance books that you enjoy reading?

and Third here is how you win my blog prize:

Leave me your answer to my question above, your choice from my backlist, and don't forget to leave your email address so that I can contact you when you win!

No need to follow my blog, Twitter, Facebook, or newsletter but I would love to have you follow. *Special contests for newsletter followers.

What's the prize:

A print copy of Tahoe Nights plus one ebook from my backlist



Happy Hopping :)

FREE READS...That's right, FREE

It's not often you get something for free.
Sex is never free. It usually costs dinner and a movie and 20 minutes of begging just to get her to touch it.
But I am getting off topic.

Are both completely free for 5 days.
Thats right, 5 days.
So what are you waiting for.
GO GET THEM.
Hope you enjoy them and spread the word. We love giving things away and I really love these stories.
