Book of the Day: Wanderlust, by Ann Aguirre

Broke and unemployed, “Jumper” Sirantha Jax accepts a diplomatic mission for the government— only to find herself up against Syndicate criminals, man-eating aliens, and her own grimspaceweakened body.

Oh, I do love this series…

Want a chance to win this book? Comment and answer the question below. I’ll draw a winner tomorrow morning. One entry per person, please.

In keeping with the science fictionish nature of the book, do you believe there’s intelligent life on planets other than earth?

My answer: There has to be, right? It’s hard for me to imagine we have the whole universe to ourselves.

The Grand Prizes

I never made it clear that the drawing for the grand prize and the runner up prizes (the gift certificates) will be on October 7th, the same day The Chosen Sin officially releases. So, if you haven’t entered for the grand prizes, you still have time.

I’ll be posting the book-a-day winners daily.

Just a little housekeeping! Good luck, everyone!

Book of the Day: Strands of Sunlight, by Anya Bast

Rhiannon always thought she was just a low born peasant. When a mysterious lord buys her contract of servitude and brings her back to his keep, she finds out she’s actually the bastard daughter of a great lady. She also discovers she’s prophesied to kill the man responsible for her mother’s undoing.

And prophesied to die while doing it.

At the keep, Rhiannon is caught between two men: Tristan, the severe and sometimes brutal lord who introduces her to erotic bliss and binds her there, helplessly addicted to his every whim. And Gareth, the shining, handsome knight who treats her like the lady she never knew she was. In competition, Tristan and Gareth tempt her with physical pleasure beyond her imagination. Both of them stake a claim on her body, but only one of them will win her heart.

But once the prophecy begins to unfold neither Gareth nor Tristan will be able to save her…

This book releases TODAY from Ellora’s Cave and is an eBook.

Want a chance to win it? Comment and answer the question below. I’ll draw a winner tomorrow morning. One entry per person, please.

Describe yourself in one sentence.

My answer: I am an intuitive, creative, compassionate, busy recluse who loves animals and has occasional episodes of airheadedness and acute obliviousness.

Book of the Day: Mercury’s War, by Lora Leigh

Nothing matches Lora Leigh’s latest entry in the series about genetically altered Breeds with feline DNA—and the humans who awaken their desire.

Someone has been slipping the Sanctuary’s secure information to a pharmaceutical company. Now it’s up to Ria Rodriguez to pose as a clerk and uncover the leak. Yet she has no idea of the danger she’s about to encounter—or the passion she’s about to ignite in one of the greatest Breeds ever created.

Want a chance to win this book? Comment and answer the question below.** I’ll draw a winner tomorrow morning. One entry per person, please. FYI — This book doesn’t release until October 7th, so I’ll get it to you once I have it.

You have just been visited by Seymour, the magical wish-giving chipmunk. (I couldn’t find a good picture of a chipmunk, so just imagine one. Work with me, people.) What three things do you wish for?

No wishing for more wishes! Oh, and Christian Bale is mine, so back off!

About scrolling down

I know that’s a scintillating topic to be posting about.

The big contest post is scheduled to go up about two hours from now. I’ve already had one overachiever ask about it. *cough* Jackie *cough*

The book giveaways will start on September 11th (that would be tomorrow). The big contest post will be sticky and will stay at the top of my blog all the time for the next month. You’ll have to scroll down to get to the book giveaway posts every day (except Sundays).

Also, I’m going to schedule my book giveaway posts to go up early every morning, for you night owls. (Although I suppose depending on time zone, you may not be a night owl, you may just be living your life.)

Anyway, if I’m not commenting or seem to not be around, it could be because my satellite Internet is down. It was down almost all of yesterday because of the weather. If that happens, I’ll post winners/comments just as soon as I’m able to get on.

That’s just some preliminary housekeeping stuff.

Have fun!!

Oh, and I finished the final draft of Witch Fury yesterday and sent it to my editor. *does butt wiggle dance of happiness* I also finished and sent my short story for the Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance. Wheee! I’m taking exactly eight hours to breathe a little before I dive into my next two projects.

It’s almost here!

There’s a huge contest coming up to celebrate the release of The Chosen Sin! On September 10th be sure and stop by so you can enter. There will be really big prizes and chances to win a free book every day for a month (except Sundays).

Ugh. I feel like I sound like one of those hyper local furniture store commercials. It’s the Christmas in July sale! Come on down for great deals! I don’t want to sound that way.

But I hope the contest will be a lot of fun. I’m definitely aiming in the direction of fun and I hope you’ll all play along.

Wanna see the prizes?

Grand prize: $100 gift card to Borders

First runner up: $50 GC Amazon.com

Second runner up: $25 GC to Barnes & Noble

Third runner up: $25 GC to Barnes & Noble

Plus – a chance to win a book a day every day (except Sundays) from September 11th to October 7th!

Not bad, huh?

In writing news, I’m just about done with the third draft of Witch Fury. I also recently finished up a short story for the Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance as well. Now it’s on to the first book in the fae series I’m doing for Berkley Sensation and the novella for the Christmas/Holiday anthology I’m doing with Angela Knight, Lora Leigh and Allyson James. Deadlines starting to loom once again.

Daughter is sick and I’m feeling kind of, well…just YUCKY. Tired and listless. But it’s raining today and a bit cold, so maybe that’s why. The weather is making me want to bake cookies. My daughter would probably like that and my tastebuds would probably like that…but my ass definitely doesn’t need that.

Still….

Chocolate chip? Mmmm.
