Interesting Book of the Day

I came across this book as I was being sneaky at work and clicking through the Goodreads website. (shh.. don't tell my boss!)

The cover and title made me giggle and I just had to spread the word!  It is called Fat Vampire: A Never Coming of Age Story.  The book is currently listed in a giveaway in Goodreads.  Click this link to enter to win!

I am starting to really like finding interesting books, so I may make this a weekly thing! :o)

Great Things To Come!


As I am sure many of you know I have finished writing Savor, book #1 in the Warm Delicacy Series!  
Cheering and happy dancing may commence... I'll wait.  :o)

Need to catch your breath from all the excitement? Me too!

Ok, now to move on to more great things!  I have decided on what I will do for the giveaway and its going to be awesome.  I won't give away what the prizes are just yet, but I think they are terrific!  (Yes I used terrific - I'm bringing it back don't judge me!)  I can reveal that the grand prize is more than just stuff you will get shipped to you in the mail. ;-)

  I will be doing a blog tour and this weekend I am sending out requests to all my favorite bloggers to see who is interested so that I can get the ball rolling.

::shameless plug::  If you are a blogger and want to be part of the release celebration and giveaway for Savor, just shoot me an email!  The more the merrier!  :o)

My ultimate goal is to have Savor available for purchase by September 1st, with the blog tour and multiple giveaways spanning the entire month.  I also want to do something big for the 30th cause it's my birthday!  I'm thinking a prize pack for a lucky winner!

I have heard from several people who are dying to read Savor, and for those marvelous fans I am going to be posting not just the first chapter of Savor, but the first TWO!!!  Yes!! Because I love you all so very much I am going to post more than the usual first chapter!  Stay tuned as I hope to have it up an available to you all soon.

Then...drumroll....
I hope to have book #2 Indulge, available by the end of November.

Can I do it??

Wish me luck!

Giveaway Brainstorming!


I have been thinking and thinking about what kind of giveaway I am going to do for the release of Savor.  I know I want to give away some awesome prizes and I thinking I also want to try my hand at a blog tour which I have never done and know very little about.
I am hoping that I can pick all your brains or beg for any tips you can give me from what you have learned during giveaways you have done or blog tours you have participated in.  Anything you can tell me will be greatly appreciated.

Now to the fun part.  For every blog that participates in the release of Savor I want to do a giveaway, but I haven't decided what I want to giveaway other than a free ebook copy of Savor.  I would like to have a full range of possible prizes; i.e. signed paperbacks, ebooks, kindle skins, bookmarks, etc.  Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for what they would like to see in a giveaway?

Help name a character in Savor!

I am finishing writing the last pages of Savor and am becoming stumped on a character name. 

Throughout the story he has remained a mystery and at the end of the book he is revealed.  Originally I wanted to name him Stefan, but I don't love it as much as I did when I started writing Savor.

I am asking the help of anyone who may have some ideas.  I don't want anything that is used popularly today and am looking for something historic and sounds a little exotic perhaps.  If you have any ideas I would love to hear them.  Here is a picture of what I envision the character to look like.

He is a very mysterious character with a bit of an arrogance to him, but secretly has a heart of gold that he doesn't like to so show.  Honor and duty are incredibly important to him.
