This is just a little reminder of the power of dreams and the utter joy that can be yours when you ‘go for it’. Let’s face it, a lot of us are afraid to reach for the stars because we’re afraid to fall. But man, if you don’t try to fly, you’ll never know if you’ve got what it takes!

Last year my kid and a bunch of incredible kids went for it. They auditioned for Canada’s Got Talent in Toronto, and were picked from out of 8000 acts in Toronto to move forward in this competition. They’re 14-17 and I couldn’t be more proud!

They were on the show a few weeks ago and kudos to a bunch of cuties from a small town in Canada! as Steven Tyler says, Dream on and may all of you grab your stars!

It’s that time of year again…a time for fun, food, friends and GREEN BEER! I want to give a huge shout out to everyone celebrating St. Patrick’s Day and um, thought I’d share what I consider to be the best Irish export ever….

And, You’re Welcome!

****************The winner of an advanced reading copy of Pamela’s new book, is CATHY M. Please email me your deets here at my website! Thanks for entering!****************************************************

Weeeeeeeee! This celebration week’s flown by and today, wrapping everything up is the lovely and so very cute, Pamela Palmer.

If you’ve not read her Feral Warrior books…um, what are you waiting for? Sexy Shifters? hello! You can check them out HERE.

Alas, Pamela is writing a new series for Avon…Vamp City! And it sounds amazing. The first book, A Blood Seduction, doesn’t release until summer BUT one lucky commentator is going to win an ARC of this book. ADVANCED READER COPY. Meaning…you get to read this book before anyone else! check it out!

Vampires live only for lust and pleasure in the eternal twilight of Vamp City. But the city’s magic is dying. The only person who can restore it? A beautiful woman from the mortal world…one who knows nothing of the power she wields.

Quinn Lennox is searching for a missing friend when she stumbles into a dark otherworld that only she can see–and finds herself at the mercy of Arturo Mazza, a dangerously handsome vampire whose wicked kiss will save her, enslave her, bewitch her, and betray her. What Arturo can’t do is forget about her–any more than Quinn can control her own feelings for him. Neither one can let desire get in the way of their mission–his to save his people, hers to save herself. But there is no escape from desire in a city built for seduction, where passion flows hot and blood-red. Welcome to Vamp City.

Doesn’t this sound amazing? For your chance to win an early copy of this book, answer me this: Some people say that Vampire books are overdone. I for one still love a good vampire romance. What is it that keeps us coming back to them? What do you love about vampires?

Please note: this giveaway is for US only! thanks!

***********************The Winner of All Things Wicked is Sara M. Please email me your snail mail to my website email and we’ll get the book out for you! I’ll give you until Sunday before I pick a new winner!*****************

It’s been a great week so far and now it’s going to get even hotter, or rather, MORE WICKED! Today we have Karina Cooper’s latest, All Things Wicked.

Karina’s Dark Mission series is one of my fave’s!

Juliet Carpenter thought of the coven as family, but when she falls for a man who betrays them all, she’s left alone and desperately searching for a reason why. Caleb Leigh has spent the past year in hiding, unable to escape his demons. When Juliet finds him again, her need for vengeance clashes with the hunger still burning between them.

It’s a fight born from the embers of a half-forgotten attraction and the wounds of a past too raw to ignore. With enemies circling and secrets threatening to consume them, Caleb has no choice but to fulfill a promise made long ago—protect her, save her. Even if it costs him his blood, his body…and what’s left of his mind.

This is another post-apocalyptic series and again, I’m digging the gritty realism. For your chance to win Karina’s latest, answer me this… What is your fave post apocalyptic movie and why?

Please note: this giveaway is for US only!

****************The winner of Devil Without a Cause is Wynter! Please email me your address! You have until Saturday or I’ll choose another winner!*************************

Happy Hump Day my friends as we roll along here with FIVE DAYS IN HELL!

Today we have the lovely Terri Garey stopping by! She’s offering one lucky winner a copy of DEVIL WITHOUT A CAUSE. This is the first book in her new series the Devil’s Bargain and is so good!

Temptation and seduction are the tricks of the Devil’s trade, and when offered the chance to regain his wings by playing guardian angel, he’s hell-bent on doing things his way…

Faith McFarland is in need of a miracle. So desperate to save her sick child, she’s willing to make a deal with the Devil: steal a ring worn by Finn Payne, the bad-boy rockstar who long ago sold his soul for rock ‘n roll. Temptation and seduction become necessary evils, yet Faith’s salvation means Finn’s damnation . . . because the ring is all that stands between him and Hell. Falling in love was never part of the bargain, but now that they’ve tasted heaven in each other’s arms, can they convince the Devil to give up his due?

For a chance to win this book, tell us what or who you would sell your soul for!

Please note this giveaway is open to US and Canada!

********************THE WINNER OF YOUR CHOICE OF BOOK BY SABLE GRACE IS Michelle Bledsoe. PLEASE EMAIL ME YOUR DEETS, HERE AT THE WEBSITE. IF I DON’T HEAR FROM YOU BY SATURDAY, I’LL DRAW ANOTHER WINNER**********

Celebration week continues! Please check the previous post for yesterdays winner! Today we have an offering from my good friends Sable Grace (which is the author name for Heather Waters and Laura Barone) These ladies have come together to write the Dark Breed Series and today they’re offering one lucky commentator the chance to win one of the following:

Book One: Ascension

The gates of hell have opened, and one woman will stand in the crossfire as the Dark Breed — vampyre, demons, shape shifters — and mankind fight their last battle for survival.

Kyana is half Vampyre, half Lychen… And the last of her kind. Determined, dangerous, and damned, she has no love for the mortals who have imprisoned and misused her. But when the Order of Ancients entrusts her with a mission — to find the key that will send the Dark Breed back into Hell for eternity — Kyana has no choice but to accept.

She is furious to learn her assignment comes with an escort… Ryker, a demigod and fierce warrior who long ago found a way under her skin and stayed there. In a shaky alliance, they discover an ancient cult with dangerous motive and a god who seeks to destroy all others. And as Kyana begins to feel the heat that threatens to bind her to Ryker, she knows she has to resist. For it could only mean the undoing of them both…

Book Two: Bedeviled

Kyana thought only to save her friend’s life when she fed Haven her blood; instead, she created a monster. Now the woman she thought of as a sister is under the spell of an ancient, vengeful god, determined to set him free and wreak havoc on the mortal world…and only Kyana can stop her.

But time is running out. In just seven days, Kyana’s Vampyre and Lychen abilities will be gone and she’ll be completely transformed into the Goddess of the Hunt — and her blood ties to Haven will be severed. By her side is Ryker — ally, demigod, lover — who will sacrifice everything to keep Kyana safe…even the attraction that burns between them. Together they have one chance to save Haven from herself… To save humanity from Hell on earth.

Don’t these sound freaking awesome? Well, they are…I’ve read them both and now it’s your turn to win your choice of either, Ascension or Bedeviled. Answer the following for your chance! (Please note, this is for US only)

Do you like to read series where the protagonists are the same as in the Dark Breed Books? Or do you prefer series where each book has a different couple as the focus…and why?

I want to thank everyone for your support and enthusiasm for Wrong Side of Hell! I’m uber excited about this new series! As you know I ran a contest for the last month and the winners are:

A signed copy of Wicked Road to Hell goes to LORNA!

The winner of a 25$ Gift card from Amazon is… Sandra J. Clarke!

Woot! It’s officially release week and we’re going to kick off my celebration of WRONG SIDE OF HELL with an awesome giveaway by the uber talented Joss Ware. (who also writes as Colleen Gleason btw)

To start off this week, Joss is offering one lucky commentator the choice of one of her Envy Chronicle books. This is an awesome series with a post apocalyptic premise that I loved.

Book one: Beyond the Night.

A man with no future…
When Dr. Elliott Drake wakes from a mysterious fifty-year sleep, the world as he knew it is gone. Cities are now desolate, and civilization is controlled by deadly immortals. Stranger still is Elliott’s extraordinary new “gift” – he has the power to heal, but it comes with fatal consequences.

A woman with a past
Jade barely escaped the immortals and is now hell-bent on revenge. She trusts no one… until Elliott. His piercing gaze and tempting touch shatter her defenses, but the handsome doctor seems to have dangerous secrets of his own. Is it safe to trust him with her heart?

If they are to survive in this dark new world, Jade and Elliott must work together to fight the forces that takes them beyond danger.

You can read about the other books HERE

To win your choice of any of the Envy Chronicle books you must answer this question:

If the world ended and you woke up alone, terrified and confused…who would you want at your side and why? It can be anyone…real or fictional!
