Giveaway + News!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! :) In honor of the holiday, I'm giving away two signed copies of my new YA fantasy romance, TIMELESS. The giveaway is through Twitter, so please visit my page for details: www.twitter.com/TimelessAlex

It's been a great week for TIMELESS! As of February 8th, Barnes and Noble is featuring the book as a top pick. So if you're looking to buy a copy, you can find it on the Top Teen Picks shelf at your local B&N. :) Yesterday, Feb 12th, one of my all-time favorite athletes, Philadelphia Eagles star DeSean Jackson, actually tweeted about the book! I swooned! :) You can check out his post on my Twitter page.

Thanks everyone, and keep me posted on your thoughts about TIMELESS!

Xoxo,
Alexandra

The Original Music of TIMELESS!

Integrated into the pages of TIMELESS are two original songs that figure into the story's plot. I wrote the lyrics to these songs, and co-wrote the music with my incredible collaborators, Michael Bearden (best known for Michael Jackson's "This Is It" concert and film) and Heather Holley (songwriter for Christina Aguilera). I've been singing my whole life, so I was only too happy to step up to the mic and record the songs. :)

The tracks were produced and arranged by Michael Bearden, and featured a 10-piece band of serious musical virtuosos. I was blessed to have such an all-star team! I invite you to check out a sample of these songs on my website (www.alexandramonir.com) and if you enjoy them they're available for download on iTunes!

Let me know what you think!
