As for me, I’m giving away reader’s choice of one of my novels. Winners can choose between Jennifer’s Garden, Ladd Springs and Not Without You. Better yet, there will be TEN winners selected!
Woot! Woot! Details can be found below.
Good luck and enjoy the wave of new discovery…
Welcome to the 5th Annual Authors in Bloom Blog Hop and Facebook Party where you’ll discover amazing gardening tips and fabulous fresh new recipes! AND, you’ll have the opportunity to win a TON of wonderful prizes and giveaways.
Today I’m sharing an interesting gardening tip I discovered via Home Guides. Now, garlic is a great aphid repellent and used a lot when it comes to companion planting–a basic tenet of organic gardening–and planting it near roses will do wonders to keep your bushes healthy and happy by repelling aphids. But did you know that orange peels work to repel aphids, too?
Organic Authority says that placing orange peels around affected plants will deter the pests. Better yet, tear the peels–not all the way through–and attach them to the stems near the infected area using the tear. In a matter of hours, it will be problem solved. Seems orange peels contain d-Limonene, a natural chemical that destroys the waxy coating on aphids (and ants!) causing them to suffocate and die. Sounds harsh, but so is the discovery of a dead rose bush.
Hope that helps! For my giveaway today, I’m offering a collection of adorable cupcake-themed kitchen towels and a colorful DIY Tote-N-Go bag.
You are also eligible to win the grand prize ereader (value $200). To win the grand prize, you MUST visit each and every author/blogger on the hop.

Now get hopping, you have a bunch more chances to win!
I LOVE spring and I LOVE romance which is why I am hopping at alarming rates this season! And YOU are the benefactor. As if giving away $250 cash and copies of Jennifer’s Garden wasn’t enough, I’m giving away copies of my novel, Not Without You, in celebration of the release of book #4 in the Silver Creek series. It’s the book that started it all and one that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Grad student, Lisa Richardson, scours the high country in search of her beloved boreal toad. The amphibian is in danger of extinction, a fate she is determined to change. Single-minded in her focus, Lisa doesn’t realize that she’s being followed by a mysterious stranger.
Enter McIntyre Walsh. Ex-Marine with a heart of gold, this man lives and breathes duty. Protection. Content with his self-exile on a mountaintop in Colorado, he inadvertently witnesses a female hiker in danger, a situation he cannot ignore yet is unable to rectify. When their paths cross, Lisa and Walsh refuse to stray from their avowed goals and carry on—despite the other.
It isn’t until a killer ramps up his game that both are forced to relent. Battling the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains and an undeniable attraction between them, Lisa and Walsh must work together against the odds if they intend to get off the mountain alive.
And it’s easy to enter. Log in with your email address and/or visit my Facebook page!
Next, mark your calendar for my 5th Annual Authors in Bloom Blog Hop. The ten day extravaganza starts April 7th and runs through the 16th where almost 50 authors and bloggers offer fabulous gardening tips and fresh recipes, just in time for spring! Plus, each site will host a giveaway in addition to the grand prize erader and $25 gift card. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this giveaway hop…
