Pimp My Read
So as well as having a new book out - Within Reach - I’m involved with a fabulous e-reader and e-book giveaway this week, along with three talented, lovely writers who also write contemporary romance - Ruthie Knox, Molly O’Keefe and Shannon Stacey.
Basically, we are giving away four e-readers ( a Kobo, a Nook, and two x Kindles) via four of the big romance blogs (Dear Author, Smart Bitches, Smexy Books and The Season). All you have to do to be in the running is to comment at one of the blogs. Each blog is offering a different e-reader - for example, I’m offering a Kindle Touch at Smexybooks - and you can enter at all four blogs if you so choose. We’re aiming to convert people who are on the fence about e-books or to give converts the chance to gift an e-reader to a loved one. The comp runs from July 16 - 22 on all four blogs, so do a bit of blog hopping and give yourself four shots at winning. I dare ya!
A word about my fellow authors before I leave you to get on with your lives. I heart these three ladies and their books so much, I’m going to sing their praises a little, just in case you haven’t had a chance to pick up one of their books yet.

Molly O’Keefe is a fellow Super Romance writer, and Can’t Buy Me Love is her first foray into single title. This book is smart, challenging, funny and sexy. It’ s got a pro hockey player hero, a white-trash heroine who’s determined to look out for herself this time around, and a great conflict. Molly is a gorgeous writer and I have been reading her books since my editor put me onto her years ago. If you like sexy stories with great characters and smart writing, this book is a must.

Ruthie Knox’s debut book, Ride With Me, landed in my in-box earlier in the year when her editor asked me to read it and provide a cover quote. This always makes me a little nervous - what if I say yes but hate it? Well, there was absolutely no chance of that happening with Ruthie’s book. By the time I’d read the first page I was hooked, and I gobbled up the rest of the book in short order. Ruthie’s characters are real, funny, smart and human, and she’s writes the sexy, oh yes she does! Her latest release, About Last Night, is earning rave reviews all over and features a straight-laced Englishman and a reformed bad-girl. It’s emotional, steamy and funny - Ruthie’s hallmarks, I am coming to learn.

Shannon Stacey hit it out of the park with her series of books about the Kowalski family and she continues to do so with each subsequent release. She writes great family, great emotio
n and great sexy. Fabulous banter and strong conflicts are a given in every Stacey book. She’s funny, she’s human and she writes lovely, warm-hearted, hilarious romances.
You can see why I as so chuffed to be rubbing elbows with these ladies. I hope you put your hand up for an e-reader (and wouldn’t it be great if you won?!) and I hope you get a chance to read these talented writers if you haven’t already.
