This one’s for everyone who loves books, especially those summer reads. It’s that time of year when we browse the shelves–virtual and otherwise–to find that next great read for our vacation…beachside, by the pool, patio, garden.  You name it and we likely read there. :) To celebrate the RT Booklovers Convention and the beginning of warm weather, I’m giving away the following prize to one lucky winner…

It’s a set of four plastic glasses–perfect for those chilly beverages you’ll be craving while reading–plus matching drink stirrers, two fun lemon-wedge shaped molds for icing down those drinks and a tube of my favorite lotion, Radiance by Burt’s Bees.  This stuff is awesome because once applied, your skin will shimmer in the sunlight.  The secret is the natural mica used to enhance skin tone. You’ll also receive one of my favorite silk floral gift boxes, made by Bloem Boxes.  Not only gorgeous, but inside you’ll find sunflower seeds packed on 15′ biodegradable seed ribbons for effortless planting.  (Retail value: $45)

What do you say?  Are you ready for your next summer read?  Ladd Springs would make the perfect addition to your TBR list.  The reviews are already coming in…

“Ladd Springs was one of those books that I couldn’t put down – at first because it drew me in with a ton of questions to be answered about the pasts of the characters, and a great story. Second because of how heart pounding it gets towards the ending!”

~~ Debbie Jean’s Blog

“I really enjoyed the fun of this book. There was a bit of steam & intensity but nothing a teen couldn’t handle. It really was a bit suspense, a bit romance, and a bit western — but completely a perfect mix!  What I didn’t like:  Sorry, nothing!”

~~ Regina Hott

This will be my last big hoopla hop until Authors in Bloom returns, beginning April 10th and running through April 19th..  It’s the 10 day spring extravaganza where you’ll be treated to 100 authors sharing their favorite garden tips and/or fresh recipes–just in time for spring!

I’m taking a slight turn from my romantic women’s fiction in that I’m adding a touch of mystery and intrigue to the mix.  I’m having a lot of fun writing the books and I’ll hope you’ll enjoy! :)

Now get to entering my giveaway…

It’s Amber’s birthday and I want to wish her a GREAT day, filled with fun and gifts.  Because I love gifts–and giveaways–and it’s no fun having your birthday fall smack dab in the middle of the holidays.  Seems to get lost in the shuffle!  (With 5 December birthdays in the family, I hear about it every year ~ LOL.)

So this year Amber has decided to do something special for her readers.  She’s put together a blog hop with over 25 authors and bloggers to celebrate her 24th birthday (We won’t mention how many years she’s turned 24 AGAIN. ;)) and this year, she’s not the only one receiving gifts today—you can, too!
