Giving Away Dance of the Dandelion by Dina Sleiman

Today, I’m giving away a copy of the fabulous medieval coming-of-age novel Dance of the Dandelion. The drawing will go until 7 p.m. EST today. Dina is a wonderful author, and, if you win this book, you’ll love it! All you have to do to win is leave a comment either here on my blog or on my Facebook page. You can also email me.

Here’s a description of the book:

Love’s quest leads her the world over.

Dandelion Dering was born a peasant in the English village of Arun, but her soul yearned for another life, another world. One filled with color and music, with adventure and passion . . . with more. Haunted by childhood memories, Dandelion determines to find a better existence than the life every peasant in the village contents themselves with. Even if her sweetheart William’s predictions prove true, and her journey leads straight to heartache.

From her sleepy hamlet to the intrigue of castle life, from the heart of London to the adventurous seas, Dandelion flees from the mistakes of her past, always seeking that something, that someone who will satisfy her longings.

Will Dandelion ever find the rhythm to her life’s dance . . . or did she leave her chance for true love at home in Arun village?

Basically, just shoot me an email, letting me know that you’re a reader!

The Last Target is now out!

The Last Target, my latest book, has just been released. I'm so excited about this book. I loved getting to know these characters and diving into the "what ifs" of a terror plot against an every day citizen.

Here's the premise:
A woman's name is found on a terrorist's hitlist. She's the only person on the list who's still alive and now private security contractor Jack Sergeant must figure out why.

If you check out the book, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
