Happy New Year, Folks, and welcome to my little corner of the New Year's Hop. We have some wonderful grand prices for you to celebrate 2013.
What are those prices I hear you ask.
Well, check these out....
We have THREE grand prizes. You as a reader can go to EACH blog and comment with your email address and be entered to win. Yep, you can enter over 200 times!
1st Grand Prize: A Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet
2nd Grand Prize: A $300 Amazon or B&N Gift Card
3rd Grand Prize: A Swag Pack that contains paperbacks, ebooks, 50+ bookmarks, cover flats, magnets, pens, coffee cozies, and more!
(Please not all but the Swag Pack are international. The Pack Is US only, sorry.)
Sounds good, doesn't it. But that's not all of course. We all throw a little something of our own into the mix.
I was wrecking my brain for something other than the usual books to give away. Now I am still doing that too. You can check out my back list HERE.
I am giving away two PDF copies from that back list, winner's choice. There is all sorts there, so I'm sure you will find something to tickle your fancy. But for my grand price, how about you get to choose the name of the heroine in my next wip?
Now, this can be your name, or someone close to you, and you will be mentioned in the dedication too, and needless to say, when it hits publication you will get a free copy as well.
Sounds good?
I should prolly mention that this story I have in mind is a menage, with three heroes, so bear that in mind when choosing the name you want me to use ;-)
To win, just leave me a comment, with the name you'd choose, and why, and don't forget your e-mail address.
****
Now, New Years. We're supposed to write a bit about New Years, and all I can come up with is that you know you're a writer, when New Year's Eve or not you're sat here typing away at the wip that came out of nowhere and you just can't stop writing.
Yeah, I am so rock'n'roll, lol. But for the last twenty one years we've had little ones underfoot, and staying home has just been the easiest thing to do. Our current youngest has an awful croupy cough and is laid up on daddy's chest as I type this blog post.
So, in this house at least we will do what we always do. Have a glass of bubbly at midnight, remember those no longer with us, and cheer in the new year with a badly rendered Auld Lang Syne.
Before I go let me pimp my newest release, and if you still have some energy after all your partying, check out, Wine & Nine. Quite aptly named for the party season...
Magic Mac and his Mystery tours, the brochure said. What it didn't tell the participants of this coach trip is that the quaint Scottish Inn they stopped at, held a secret.
When you add women, wine, and men the outcome is never certain. Will it be happy ever after or is this just the beginning?
Find out in these nine scorching erotic short stories, guaranteed to raise a kilt or two.
Buy it on AMAZON.

Have fun, however you celebrate New Year :-)
Thanks for taking part in the blog hop and Happy New Year.

ReplyDeletewendy.pogrant@yahoo.com

DeleteThanks for the giveaway! And Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteparisfan_ca@yahoo.com
Happy New Year, Laurie :-)
DeleteAloha!
ReplyDeleteThe name I would choose is "Aisling". It is pronounced "Ash-lynn". The reason I love this name is because it is ancient Gaelic and means "fae child" or "outcast". The legend goes that a child who was abandoned or lost would be raised by faeries and would never really fit into society after that point. Really sad, but I love the picture it presents and the challenge a character like that can overcome. Anyways, that's my suggestion.
Michel King
Michel_Lee_King(at)yahoo(dot)com

DeleteFor a man, I've always loved the name Caleb and for a woman, Shannon.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!

ReplyDeletediane dot sadler at gmail dot com
:-) Happy New Year!
DeleteWhat a great idea!!! I would choose the name Janice. That is my Gran's name and I think she would get a kick out of having a dominatrix named after her. She is rather feisty and I have gotten her addicted to erotica by filling a kindle with it for her! LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!
grapeapril75(AT)gmail.com
I just bet she would :-)
DeleteI don't think my name would make a great heroine name - Lynn. It just sounds to bland and not very exciting. Although Jane made out with Tarzan. But Lynn and Tarzan just don't make you think the same way. Now an exotic name would be different. I think Keira would be a great choice.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year,
Lynn
lareynolds0316@gmail.com
*giggles at Lynn and Tarzan* Happy New Year!
DeleteChoosing a name is hard. I like the name Moira though.Happy New Year and great luck with all your books this year.

ReplyDeleteThe book I'd pick if I won is Goldie and Her Bears (because I already have the excellent "Last of His Kind).

ReplyDeletedreammie_angel at yahoo dot com
This is proving quite a popular name :-)
DeleteMy x husband's new wife, my brother's wife and I all share the same name and we are all good friends. The only difference is that each name is spelled different. My ex's wife's name is Milisa and she is the one I would love to see in your book. She is a kinky thing and New Year's is her anniversary with my ex and she treats him so well (we are all great friends) and I think this would make a great present for both of them. Plus, in a way it would still be my name as well as harassing my sister in love and it would make her blush.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance and the giveaway.
