Happy Fourth of July!
We’re on the move again. I got a lot of writing done this past week. Our tour is taking us to Kingsport, TN, where we’ll be camping for the week. Remember, if you see us on the road, come say “hi” and you’ll get a free book.
Anyway, have a great Fourth of July celebration.

Round up
Okay, so I underestimated how little time I would have for social media while on the book tour. My goal was to blog every day. Ha! But I’m trying to get better, honestly.
We had a nice signing on Tuesday at Half-Priced Books of the Ozarks. Cookies and tea and company and lots of talk about books.
Yesterday we drove all day. Today, we’re at a campground taking a bit of a breather as I catch up on my blog tour and do a radio interview.
Today at 2:00 p.m. EST I’m on the radio with Pam Stack. Love to have you call in.
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/authorsontheair/2013/06/27/lori-wilde-on-authors-on-the-air. Call in # once the show begins: 347-633-9609.
Callers can win a copy of LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. Just call in and then email me that you want to claim your free copy @ Loriwilde@aol.com.
I’ve also got a blog tour spot up @ http://www.pawsandprint.blogspot.com/ Great review. I’m over the moon.
We’ll be camped out in the Smoky Mountains for a few days. I’ve got to get some writing done. I’m finishing up the final book in the Cupid, Texas series, LOVE COMES TO TOWN and having such fun with a family feud plot.
See you on the road,
Lori

Review Crew Wanted
I’m starting a review crew and I’m looking for readers. If you are chosen:
1) You’ll get free copies of my upcoming books
2) You’ll get additional perks, gifts and giveaways
Your responsibilities will be:
1) Read the book the week it comes out.
2) Post your review on either Goodreads, Amazon or Barnes and Noble within three weeks of the release date.
I’m looking for true Lori Wilde fans, not someone who just wants free stuff. If you are accepted to the review crew and you fail to post a review in the allotted time, you’ll be dropped from the crew. (Just had to put that out there.)
If you are able to commit to being on the review crew, please send an email stating your commitment to Loriwilde02@yahoo.com.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

GOING TO THE DOGS.
HOUNDED, the latest book in Zoe Dawson’s delightful series, GOING TO THE DOGS, is out today on e-books.
I’ll get you and your little dogs, too!
Veterinarian Poe Madigan enters The Fur Ball with her Jack Russell terriers (aka The Terrible Two) to compete for a substantial cash prize that will keep her mother from losing her home. But when her fabulous partner sprains his ankle, Poe must trade him and his talented Bichon for a sexy, muscle-bound hunk who can’t dance and his Basset Hound, Lazy Daisy. If that’s not enough to make her despair, it seems The Terrible Two have angered someone and they’re receiving death threats!
Security specialist Jared Taylor promises one of Poe’s friends that he will go undercover as her dog dancing partner to protect her from danger. He didn’t expect to find his staid, traditional life would be turned all topsy-turvy and he would find a soft spot for a neglected hound and fall for a Goth princess. But when he reveals who he really is and why he is in Poe’s life will it destroy the foundation of trust they’ve built? Could he lose the real prize – Poe?
Available now in the Going to the Dogs series:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/hounded-zoe-dawson/1115674091?ean=2940016477251
If you buy a copy of HOUNDED, I’ll gift you with a copy of the first book in the series, LEASHED. Just drop me a line @ loriwilde@aol.com and let me know you purchased HOUNDED and I’ll send you LEASHED.

Hitting the Road
Lori’s Wilde Ride 2013 Book Tour starts today. We’ll be touring midwest and southern states in celebration of my three releases.
ONE TRUE LOVE, the prequel novella to my new Cupid, Texas series.
In Cupid, Texas, they say everyone has one true love. And if you write a letter to Cupid, you will get an answer in return . . .
Now, from New York Times bestselling author Lori Wilde, read how the legend of Cupid began . . . All it took was one great love story!
Too bad for pretty young housemaid Millie Greenwood that her one true love is John Fant, the handsomest, wealthiest man in town. But in 1924, a maid—no matter how lovely—isn’t about to marry into the town’s foremost family, and John is on the verge of becoming betrothed to another. Everything seems hopeless until Millie writes a desperate letter to Cupid, and the most romantic legend of all is born . . .

Book #1 in the series: LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
Welcome to Cupid, Texas, where every wish for love comes true…
In her sexy new series of romance novels, New York Times bestselling romance author Lori Wilde, introduces a town where the residents are more than likely to fall in love at first sight.
Passion has been notably lacking in the life of sensible Natalie McCleary. But when ex–Navy SEAL Dade Vega roars into Cupid on his motorcycle, and she stumbles on him stark naked and soaking wet, she suddenly understands what it means to be struck by love. Dade feels it too.
Will he stick around and give them both a happy ending or will this footloose loner move on and leave her heartbroken?
Love at First Sight, told with the humor and spice fans have come to expect from Lori Wilde’s delightful romances, including A Cowboy for Christmas and The Cowboy and the Princess.

And book #2: ALL OUT OF LOVE.
From bestselling romance author Lori Wilde comes All Out of Love, the sizzling second book in her Cupid, Texas, series, set in a town where every wish for love comes true.
Millie Greenway and her friends have tried for years to keep the Cupid legend alive in their hometown, but she’s not getting much help from her granddaughters. Lace Bettingfield knows the legend is bogus. As a teen, she left a letter at the Cupid statue and got nothing in return but humiliation. But now the guy she dreamed of is back in town, Lace begins to wonder if the tale might just prove to be true.
All Out of Love features the humor and heartfelt emotion that fans have come to expect from the author of The First Love Cookie Club and A Cowboy for Christmas.

Our first stop is Arkansas where I’ll be signing stock at local Walmarts, Targets and Barnes and Noble. We’re going to be traveling in our RV and staying in campgrounds along the way.
After that, we’re heading to Missouri. I’ll be signing at Half Price Books of the Ozarks in Springfield, Missouri on June 25th. I love Kathy Ross and her delightful staff. We visited this bookstore on a previous tour in 2005. Can’t wait to see everyone again.
If you see me on the road, come up and tell me your love story and I’ll gift you with a free book.
Happy Trails,
Lori
