Breathless Press-and Mine-Birthday Bash

As most of my readers know, the road to publication has been fraught with worries and stumbling blocks galore. Between moving too much, losing my house, car, everything, my duaghter having brain surgery and not having reliable internet half the time, it's been a long road. Who am I kidding? Although I'm no published, it's still a struggle. One, I want to be a best seller and have put pressure on myself, and two, I keep having issues.

But, you know what? I'm still trying. I have two publications out with Breathless Press: The Ulfric's Mate is a full length novel and starts off The War of the Were Series, and Ravaged, an anthology focused on shifters of all sorts and stories of all types. You're sure to enjoy at least one. Barely There is the title of the one in Ravaged and it introduces to characters you're going to see more of later in the series. Beware, it's scorching hot.

Now, while my brain tries to fix the latest one I'm working on, I'm writing a Birthday Blog! Breathless Press has lots of free reads. As if that weren't enough, we are having a huge birthday bash blog hop. At every stop they are giving away something and leaving a clue for you to follow. Find all the clues and follow the instructions and you can win a huge grand prize. The blogs are up from August 24-27. Be sure and hit them all. Here's the official blurb and instructions:

Also, it's my Birthday on the 25th, so I'm giving away more prizes. First, everyone who comments will be put in a drawing for The Ulfric'sMate. It's on sale as part of the birthday fun, so get it now :) If you win a copy and you've already bought it, I can gift it to someone instead. Great fun all the way around.

How do I determine the winner? I put numbers on folded up post it notes and let my son's take turns drawing out numbers J They love it and it gets them involved with my writing in a fun way. Also, if I hit 50 comments, I'll be giving away handmade bookmarks with beaded tassels to a lucky winner. And if it hits 75, I'll be giving away an 8x10 in print of the dragon at the top of the blog. That is a photo of one of my paintings. If I hit 100, I will give away a painting (I will let the winner choose between two.) If I hit 150 comments (I'm thinking big here!!) I'll give a grand prize which includes bookmarks, print, and a painting. So tell all your friends and let's have a birthday bash to remember.
