The winner of yesterday’s book, What Happens in Vegas, is Becky! Congrats Becky. Please drop me a note via the contact form on my web site with your snail mail and I’ll send it on to you. Today I plan to take a bunch of pictures her at RAW. I forgot my camera to the PJ party last night and got none. But today…pictures! I met Nalini Singh last night and managed (barely) not have a bizarre squee festival in front of her. Sylvia Day is here, Jacquelyn Frank, Shiloh Walker…. *gropes for coffee* I was up late last night. Now I’m going to shower and dress for the day. Saturday, September 20th, 2008
The Chosen Sin, by Anya Bast. This book comes out officially on October 7th, but it’s already available to ship at B&N online. In this sensuous and lust-filled otherworld, the Chosen are vampires fighting for their very existence. It is Daria’s destiny to become one of them… Daria Morris is a special forces agent with one obsession: to wreak vengeance on the brutal vampire who nearly destroyed her. Now she’s finally about to get her chance, on one condition. She must become something she detests: a vampire. Her fate rests upon one man’s lethal bite. His name is Alejandro Martinez, and he can help her infiltrate a highly guarded group of the Chosen. But Alejandro is also a distraction for Daria. Because thirteen years ago, they shared a scorching night of passion neither has forgotten. Now, while Daria struggles against her newfound bloodlust, the two must slip into the shadows to bring a monster to justice—even as their desire threatens to consume them. But under the cover of night, they’ll discover that it’s the darkness within that may stand in the way of their hunger for retribution… “Vivid details and imaginative settings make the Chosen world intriguing… High-voltage action keeps things moving while the in-depth characters have you rooting for their success.” — Romantic Times BOOKreviews “Anya Bast pulled another winner out of her pocket. If you are looking for a paranormal story that is just out of this world pick up THE CHOSEN SIN. You will get more than just the generic vampire story.” — Night Owl Romance Reviews “This futuristic vampire tale is brilliant, unique and extremely erotic. Definitely a must-read.” — Fresh Fiction Want a chance to win it? Comment and answer the question below. I’ll draw a winner tomorrow morning. One entry per person, please.
My answer: Ha. I’d write! THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED

Winning it big. That’s the name of the game at Las Vegas’s Liege Hotel and Casino, where the hottest fantasies hinge on a roll of the dice…and the tantalizing knowledge that anything could happen before sunrise. Cocktail waitress Carinna wants a man to tie her up, not tie her down. Little does she know that her most willing partner yet has something else planned for this fiery Latina bombshell. Dahlia is a burlesque dancer with a brain for business and a bod for sin. Her latest admirer may be a sweet-talking Casanova, but despite what he thinks she’s not giving anything away free. Meanwhile, Amy has the perfect plan to rob the Liege Casino blind…until the intimidating owner catches her red-handed. Now she knows she’s going to pay… with both pleasure and pain. Professional shill Cassidy is ready to experience a breathless rendezvous with her “friend with benefits.” But when he proposes five delicious nights of sexy blackjack, the stakes have never been so high. Want a chance to win it? Comment and answer the question below. I’ll draw a winner tomorrow morning. One entry per person, please. What’s your most embarrassing memory from high school? My answer: I’ll tell my second most embarrassing memory. Er…no wait, my third. Uhm. Never mind, I’m skipping this one. You tell me your most embarrassing memory. I’m allowed to skip a few questions since I’m the one giving away the books. New rule! THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED

The winner of yesterday’s book, Everlasting Bad Boys, is Maered. Congrats! Please drop me an email via the contact form on my site with your snail mail. Oh, and hey, you all, go on over to Maverick Authors and check out Patrice Michelle’s guest blog! She’s giving away a copy of SCIONS:INSURRECTION to one commentator. In case you don’t know who the Maverick Authors are, it’s a group comprised of me, the most awesome Lauren Dane and the fabulous Megan Hart. We’re three friends who are authors too. I met Lauren Dane on LJ (Livejournal) many years ago. I’d sold a few books to Ellora’s Cave by that time and Lauren was looking to try and sell her first manuscript. Then we both met Megan at a small conference in Seattle Washington, after having also known her on LJ. I actually was acquainted with Megan before that, though, from an online crit group (writing critique). They’re both great, talented people who are also very much alike. In person, together, they’re a riot. Watching them is better than going to the movies, let me tell you. At the end of a day spent in their company I hurt from laughing so much (er…not at them, with them). Today I’m getting ready to head to RAW. I leave tomorrow morning and I still need to pack. Uhm, and I suppose figuring out how to actually get there would be a plus too. Thursday, September 18th, 2008
Book Four In the Chase Brothers Series. Tate Murphy is a girl from the wrong side of the tracks. She grew up a million miles away from the easy life Matt Chase has had. She’s spent her life pulling herself and her siblings up and out of that trailer by the railroad tracks and she hasn’t looked back. Matt Chase is a dream of a guy and she’s certainly not going to turn down a short fling with one of the most handsome men she’s ever seen! Matt Chase has watched each one of his brothers find love and he knows he’s ready for that too. It’s all a matter of finding the woman who captures his heart. He’s certainly sampled his fair share of them but none has moved him the way Tate Murphy does when he goes to her shop to thank her for some cookies and a thank you note. But as Matt gets to know Tate and appreciate her strength and unique beauty, he also realizes she’s got some big self esteem issues about her past. To build a future, he’s got to find a way past some big road blocks. Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, some violence. Want a chance to win it? Comment and answer the question below. I’ll draw a winner tomorrow morning. One entry per person, please. Is there anything from your past that you wish you could change? My answer: No, because all the decisions I made in my past led me to where I am today, and I like where I am.
