5 chances to win books, plus GC

at BK Walker books! Go and comment!! And I'm giving away a copy of Ravaged to someone who comments on every blog. Every comment gives you an entry for a $20 gift card and you don't even have to buy the books on tour (although, I'd be more than happy if you picked up Ravaged :)

And another awesome surprise, my author friend who won a copy of The Ulfric's Mate, is giving it away! Why? you may ask. *waits while you ask* Simply because she already bought a copy :P *sighs as warm and fuzzies fill up the heart*

The free copy of The Ulfric's Mate is available to a lucky commenter here.

Okay, I'm in love. Big sighs. This cover is gorgeous!! And, if you're promoting me, my books, then feel free to use it :) Would be lovely with a link to buy it... *ponders how to do that to pictures* oh well. But that's not all folks. I'm giving a copy away as well to a lucky commenter on her blog!

And as if that's not enough, she gives a wonderful interview of moi. I'm almost getting the hang of this interview business.

AND, she's giving a copy of Ravaged away. So am I! *faints dead away* *comes back to life as vampire*

Let's tally up here, shall we? I'm giving away Ravaged to a lucky person who comments on all the blogs from the tour (can be done all in one day, as long as done before Saturday) which also enters them for $20 gift card, Persephone Jones is giving away The Ulfric's Mate and Ravaged to a commenter on her blog, and I'm giving away The Ulfric's Mate and Ravaged to a commenter on her blog. WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW get those fingers a-walkin' and go comment!!!!

Blog Tour Day 3

Blog tour day 3 has two stops! how exciting :) come by say hi! Go to yesterday's blog post for links to days one and two!! The more times you comment, the greater your chances at winning! ;-) Come bug the authors, ask them questions (even if they haven't commented. One of us will~nudge~them :D)

First stop, Erzabet's Enchantments. don't you love their cover photo?
The second stop, Guys Like Romance Too for another chance!! This tour has more stops then ever, thereby increasing your chances!! And, if any of my peeps happen to say, I don't know, comment on every stop? I'll put them in a drawing for Ravaged, the anthology being featured here :)
Granted, each stop is basically a here's our books :) but $20 gift card is nothing to sneeze at and you might find yourself in love with a new author. Breathless Press really does have every genre of romance. They push the boundaries. In fact, my sci-fi Christmas story is coming out soon... And yes, that was a not-so-subtle-plug for my soon to come releases :)

Gorgeous cover isn't it? I'm going to post this as often as I can :) Remember, if you comment on all the stops, I'll put you in a drawing for this. :) Comment here to let me know you've done it!

Now, I'm Crying

I can hold back tears of pain, sadness, and betrayal. I wait until the crisis is over. I cried and cried and cried after my daughter got out of the hospital, so thankful she lived. But shed very little, if any, during the process. I cried when I initially heard my brother died, then spent the time until after the funeral doing my grieving. I'm the eldest child, in birth and adopted family. I am a mother. I canNOT have a breakdown when everyone else is. So I wait. Wait until I'm safe to have one. This has many pitfalls. One, there area plenty of people (especially men, in my experience) who don't understand WHY you're crying NOW. Isn't it over? Although, the death of my brother didn't get the disbelief that I was having trouble later. Seems they understood a little better that grief takes a while.

But today, I am crying happy tears. Those are harder for me to fight. I'm so loved and blessed, and sometimes, in the middle of the heartache, it's easy to forget how much. Already, I have been asked for links, or told they are going to buy my book ASAP. But ASAP is next month. I understand money issues and am HONORED that people on a budget are buying my book. Honored. And that makes me tear up.

But, reading the comments that have started to roll in, and the response (ALREADY!) to my guest blog post, well, my cup runneth over! Thank you to all who have made and continue to make this book release awesome!!

Now, go comment and share the love on edittorrent and on the interview blog, loveromanceandmore, (sorry the link didn't work so well yesterday :( but it's fixed on yesterday's blog and here's another go) even if you're buying or have bought it. If you win, you can share it with a friend :) I'll send it where you tell me!

Thank you all my peeps and twitterai!

Dear friends, it is time for the 1-k-a-day for YAEdge at http://yaedge.blogspot.com/2010/07/1k-day-day-1-put-us-in-coach.html. The challenge starts today, and I've sweetened the pot.

I have a signed Christie Craig I am giving away to someone who averages the 3k-a-day with me! Any takers??

Good luck everyone!

The writing life of a mother of five says...

Two days in a row of little or no writing? GRRR. I'll get more done tomorrow. Right now, I'm catching up on blogs and stuff. Plus entering contests to win lots of books. Soon, I will be having a giveaway, sometime in January, to give away books I have extras of because I won two or bought one then won one :)I think introducing people to new authors is a fabulous past time and I intend to give away lots of people's books, not just my own :)

I'm not feeling well and not focusing well due to lack of sleep too many nights in a row. Here's to sleep and focus!

PS I MISS NOT HAVING AN OVEN WAAAA (for those of you who don't know, I can't cook, but I can bake!)
