Drinking and Winning Giveaway Hop! [CONTEST]
The Pre- Party Giveaway Hop is being hosted by Reading Romances as a preparation for their blogiversary party on 29 March!
Hi peeps!
I'm super pumped to be a part of Reading Romances pre-party party! And, doubly exciting, it's about a subject near and dear to my heart – the responsible consumption of alcohol
Sometimes, it's so lovely to sit back, pour yourself a glass of wine and relax. On a hot day, an ice-cold beer can really hit the spot, and when you're feeling fancy free and in the party kind of mood, a splendifirous cocktail can rock your world.
So, in the spirit of enjoying a bit of a tipple, let's talk the perfect beverages for ENSLAVED and TEACH ME shall we?
A rich, fruity Cabernet Sauvignon would perfectly match the dark, Roman tones of ENSLAVED. A scrumptious drop from Vinaceous would hit the spot perfectly. Pour the gloriously red wine into a dull brass goblet, adjust your robes, toe off your sandles and settle in.
For TEACH ME, a decadent champagne would be in order. Perhaps a Verve Clique for the fancy amongst us or, if you're looking for something slightly cheaper, perhaps follow Heston Blumenthal's example and put a cheap white wine through a SodaStream (side note, REALLY want to try this one day!)
And now, the contest#!
Comment below on your favourite alcoholic beverage. Is it a screwdriver? Sex on the Beach? Or have you created your own drink?
One lucky commenter will win an ebook copy of ENSLAVED, as well as a signed TEACH ME postcard and TEACH ME magnet!
Thanks for hanging with me, peeps! I look foward to reading your comments
Hop and enter the other giveaways!

Six Sentence Sunday
A new feature! Six Sentence Sunday will feature six sentences from my works. Wow, bet you didn't see that coming Enjoy!
Six Sentences from TEACH ME
Setting the scene – Elizabeth and the Earl have come to an agreement about the parameters of her education. The following occurs at the completion of their second lesson.
His body beneath hers offered comfort and warmth and, strangely, the man who had caused the maelstrom now offered respite from it. She placed her hand over his on her stomach.
His hand jerked as she did so, and for an endless moment, she was certain he would pull away. He did nothing, however, remaining motionless beneath her palm. Tentatively, she linked their fingers.
And he let her.

Joss Whedon, you are totally my hero*
How can you not HEART Joss Whedon? This was his response when asked about what he'd do in the inevitable (please, God!) The Avengers sequel:
By not trying to [top it]. By being smaller. More personal, more painful. By being the next thing that should happen to these characters, and not just a rehash of what seemed to work the first time. By having a theme that is completely fresh and organic to itself. I want to know what makes them tick, what makes them flawed, what makes them fight — and ultimately, what makes them awesome. I go to these movies for those moments when the heroes define themselves, either through action or deliciously overwritten speeches.
Does this guy know his stuff or what?? I WOULD GO SEE THIS MOVIE IN A HEARTBEAT.
…
…
But then, I'd go see anything by Joss. So, really, not much of a recommendation ;p

* Joss being my hero comes as a surprise to absolutely no one.
