Go on a Book Bender! The Locklears' Reader Appreciation Giveaway

Authors Morgan and Jennifer Locklear have reached nearly 2,000 Likes on Facebook, and they want to spoil their readers with a fabulous giveaway! If you haven't already been "exposed" to it, these two co-authored a highly entertaining novel of Hollywood scandal--the adult contemporary romance Exposure.  

This book is a rich and witty world of the poshness and pitfalls of stardom, and I loved all the clever pop cultural references. The conflict surrounding the celebrity characters’ personal lives and how they strategize to portray such to the public is fascinating as well, and there’s interesting insight into the art of cinematography itself. I personally can't wait for more from these two, either together or individually--and I happen to know that Jennifer Locklear does indeed have a new manuscript up her sleeve. Keep posted for that one, folks. 

But until then, 16 amazing authors (yeah, okay, I include myself in there ;)) have offered up signed paperbacks or ebooks. Yours truly is giving away a signed paperback copy of Seven for a Secret, which I'm happy to ship anywhere in the world.

TODAY through February 29th, you and your friends can enter by visiting (and hopefully) liking the author pages of these participating authors. You can join the Rafflecopter here: https://www.facebook.com/MorganandJenniferLocklear/app/228910107186452/

16 winners will be drawn on 

Leap Day, February 29th!

Cheers to Morgan and Jennifer for this awesome opportunity, for readers and authors alike. And if you're joining in the book binge, good luck to you and HAPPY READING!

New Release: FOUR SOMETHINGS & A SIXPENCE by @RumerHaven!

FOUR SOMETHINGS & A SIXPENCE

by Rumer Haven

Adult Contemporary Romance

Available February 3, 2015
from Vagabondage Romance (an imprint of Vagabondage Press)

SUMMARY:
One wedding. Six participants. Be they sitting in the pews or standing at the altar, bearing witness in person or only in spirit, each of them knows something about the unsmiling bride.

Go ahead—offer them a sixpence for their thoughts, and they'll make you these vows:

• One would love to declare this woman his “awfully wedded wife.” Verbatim.
• One fears what she already has and will have to hold—if not from this day forward, then soon.
• One takes her to be richer, not poorer—and for that reason wants to scrub the toilet with her toothbrush.
• One is better for what she told him this morning, worse for betraying a friend to get to this point.
• One worries whether today finds her in sickness or in health.
• And only one already knows—with certainty—that not even in death will they part.

Whether they speak now or forever hold their peace, they all give the bride a little something she didn’t register for. With romance, resentment, faith, fear, mystery, and the mystical, Four Somethings & A Sixpence is a loaded yet light read just in time for Valentine's Day!

*** Add it to Goodreads ***

*** Available from Amazon and Barnes & Noble ***

In celebration, I'm giving away 4 free ebooks of this 9,000-word novelette, and a lucky 5th winner will receive the ebook PLUS an authentic silver sixpence coin struck by the Royal Mint in London! RSVP at the Rafflecopter for your chance to win (runs from 2/3 - 2/14).

Fans, Faves, and Four Somethings...

I've got a bit of a smorgasbord going on here, with some fun developments as of this week.

First of all, I have the honor of being this month's Random Fan at the Big Spoon, Little Spoon blog, courtesy of my gracious hosts, Morgan and Jennifer Locklear. Authors of the contemporary romance Exposure, they not only interviewed me for this segment but answered questions of my own about their debut novel's inspirations and their writing process as a dynamic husband-wife duo. They're as lovely and fun as their story, which you can find here. You can access our recent Random Fan interview by clicking the image below, and Jennifer will also be reviewing the book at the Bookish Temptations blog later this week!

Next up, I am still sitting here in a very ladylike fashion with my mouth hanging open, unable to register that Bookaholic Babe has added SEVEN FOR A SECRET to her list of favorites! To be there with the likes of The Night Circus and fellow Omnific author Georgina Guthrie's Word series is such an honor.

And finally, my 9,000-word novelette, Four Somethings & A Sixpence, is scheduled for release by the Battered Suitcase Press (an imprint of Vagabondage Press) on February 3rd. There will be a Rafflecopter giveaway running from then until Valentine's Day to celebrate this season of looove, and YOU can help promote it NOW by joining my Thunderclap!

Thanks as always, daaahhlings, for your maaahhvelous support!

There's a SEVEN FOR A SECRET SMORGASBORD goin' on at brilliant author Jennifer Lane's blog.

Read what Jennifer thought about the book, what sparked the story and setting in me wee noggin, what projects I'm currently working on...
