Here's a blurb of what you may win!

Snow's Heat

When your husband declares you aren’t enough after ten years, don’t get mad… Get a Bic and start a bonfire!

When Sabrina’s husband decides to move on to greener, and freer pastures, she knows she has to move on herself. Wounded and alone, she escapes to a friend’s cabin to think about her future…and burn her past. Literally.

Can she rise from the ashes of her marriage a new woman, or did she lose too much trying to salvage an illusion? Dealing with the heartache of her new reality, she meets a mystery man in the backwoods. One that makes her burn with desire.

Once just a soldier, now Travis is something…more. His last tour changed him in more ways than one. Can he come to terms with what he is, while dealing with the mixture of lust and possessiveness Bree brings out in him? Or is her past too much for him to handle?

Treasure Hunt Blog Hop Winner!

Winner winner winner! This is both my favorite time and the one I feel guilty about.... Why? Because there can be only one winner. First let me say thank you to everyone who participated! I was thrilled hearing all of your stories! It is people like you that make writing a thrill in so many ways!

Ok ok I know you all want to know who won... You're yelling that I've gabbed enough... and so...Drum roll please..... The winner is (thanks to random.org):

inga said... Nice to meet you! I found you through this blog hop!

Well, before I go to your questions and answer them I loved the blurb. I am quite in the same situation in my life where your Sabrina is. the only difference is, that I haven't burned anything literally yet :) Your book sounds interesting and hot!

Now to the answers: I have a semi-childish spirit, so doing something fun comes easy to me. I can organize treasure hunts to my friends for birthdays, I do not mind playing and fooling around with my friends, like singing my heart out in the middle of the night; I love reading children's books, especially Astrid Lindgren's ones; I have always had some friends who are much younger than me and they have kept me young, too! for Easter Holidays I hide eggs in my garden and make my family or friends finding them - the list is long!

Of course, I always choose a right place and time for that :)

I follow your blog with GFC inga.

Congrats Inga! I'm emailing you now! I hope you enjoy Snow's Heat!

6)  DID I MENTION TO HAVE FUN?  WHOO! HOO!! HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOO!


Now when we first started talking about this blog hop I immediately thought ohhhh Pirate Booty! Yep you know where my mind went! How well you know me! hehehe ^-^ And then I felt a tad bad. When I was a child pirates meant treasure chests

and adventures:

It meant a cooler game than cowboys and indians, because even girls could be bad ass!

And now instead of the adventures outside, where porches were planks to be walked and areas of unmowed yard were possible hiding places from enemies all I could think of was one movie with a particular hawtie! ^-^

And when I asked my husband and his friends? *snicker*

*shakes head* See what I mean? *snicker* our youthful thoughts turned to areas we use to ewwwwwww at. Our adventures turned more toward internal than external....unless we turned them in a more...sensual direction. lol. At least that's what I thought for a while. Then my teen (of all people) reminded me while I was bemoaning the lost bits of childhood adventure "Oh no Momma! You STILL go on treasure hunts! You and Daddy go geocaching. Remember? You drug us kids around all day through the woods looking little, itty bitty hidden....stuff!"

And with those words I realized my husband had indeed gotten me started in adventures. He had brought a part of my childhood back with an adult adventure that didn't involve the bedroom. One that I enjoyed...even if I bemoaned it in the beginning. I mean as adults we are "serious" in most aspects of our lives. And really who of us thinks that moving around in the woods with a GPS looking for a film container or pill bottle will be fun?

But surprisingly when we actually manage to worm our way through the tall weeds that scrape our legs (that we once thought of as great hiding places), trees that tangle and pull out hair (which we climbed and jumped out of thinking it such fun), and climb through muddy ditches (that we way back when would enjoy trundling through) to find that small thing that holds a tiny pencil and piece of paper for us to add our names to the list of those lucky(or dumb) enough to go through all of that a spark ignites and we are eager to go on to the next treasure. And despite all of that I smiled. Because you know what? It was fun. It was an adult version of hide and seek mixed with Treasure chest. Instead of a map we have GPS (its not as easy as you think) and instead of treasures of toys, it is a treasure that you did it. You managed to find that small bottle, that many color to match the surroundings. You didn't give up. :D

Now thinking of that, I wonder. What do you do that is semi-childhood fun? What adventures do you go on? Are they mental? Physical? How do you have fun and stay young?

The contest part of this is comment below. Tell me what you think, how you play.

You can also friend me on FACEBOOK for an extra entry!

I will pick a winner of an electronic copy of Snow's Heat with the help of random.org at the end of the hop! ^-^ And so that you know what you are trying to win I am adding the blurb below. :)

And the next stop on the tour is HERE with Randi Alexander!!!

SSS Snows Heat

In honor of Snow's Heat release this past Friday I am going to do a 6 from that! I hope you enjoy!

She pushed up into a sitting position and listened again before groaning louder.
Wouldn’t it just figure that some backwoods idiot was up at this hour and thought since
they were everyone else should be too? She clambered to her feet before starting for the
front door. If this were just a neighborly meet and greet, they would not like the
greeting they were about to get! She pulled open the door, fully aware she had
bedhead, her breath stank of the wine from the night before and she was pretty sure she
still had those annoying sleep marks on her face mere humans got—ones she never saw
in the movies. But what stood on her porch was enough to make the woman in her perk
up and come to attention before hanging her head in shame at the way she looked, even
if he was way younger than she was.

If you are interested in buying Snow's Heat you can find it at:
Amazon HERE
All Romance HERE
Summerhouse Publishing HERE

And if you want to read more 6Sentence Sundays you can find links HERE

Celebrate!

So as I dance around the house annoying people I thought I would share my good news, give y'all the link, and make a regular pest out of myself in my exuberance! ;)

Here's hoping everyone has a wonderful evening! :D

*Huggles*

Now let the fun BEGIN! PJ Party! Who's up for one? Ohhh I'm not hearing a lot of me's yet... Let's start this party off right hmmm?

Now who's ready to party?

Hmmmm, still not hearing too many.... maybe we should heat this up more?

Hehehehehe.... Now I'm hearing a lot of cyber drooling! :) You know most of the PJ/Slumber Parties that I remember were all about talking about guys, watching scary movies or chick flicks, and PIZZA! But for some reason the men we talked about never quite looked like that! ^-^ hehehehe

So for my party what do you think of this? Let's talk drool worthy hunks! Why? Well because they are what I use to write about, because they are what we desire, and.... because we CAN! That's right! Uh huh! This is a slumber party so kick off those shoes, get into your comfy PJs, grab a soda and some goodies, and get ready to gab about men, PJs, and anything that grabs your attention! What the hell, this is our party... right?!?!?!?

So why a Pj Party? Darn didn't know you were thinking that loud did you? Well, because I figure after all the partying that's been and will continue to go on we'll need some relaxation time... hehehe. Oh you know you are looking forward to letting down your hair and getting out of those killer shoes and tight outfit's y'all have been wearing!


So tell me, do you prefer your men to sleep in pants? Shorts? Undies? Or in the buff? Heheheheh I think we all know what I prefer! ;)

Now wondering what the prize is? A pre-release ebook of my upcoming novella Snow's Heat.

When your husband declares you aren’t enough after ten years, don’t get mad… Get a Bic and start a bonfire!

When Sabrina’s husband decides to move on to greener, and freer pastures, she knows she has to move on herself. Wounded and alone, she escapes to a friend’s cabin to think about her future…and burn her past. Literally.

Can she rise from the ashes of her marriage a new woman, or did she lose too much trying to salvage an illusion? Dealing with the heartache of her new reality, she meets a mystery man in the backwoods. One that makes her burn with desire.
