What Readers Want {Spotlight}

I’m so sorry to have missed you yesterday, but I was still trying to catch up from Thanksgiving and also trying to work with a cover artist for next year’s releases! I’ll have several more contemporary romances for you as well as a novella in THE REBORN/CALLING series in February hopefully. Then FIGHT FOR LOVE should be ready for you by the spring. So excited!

I’m also excited about Christmas! It’s one of my favorite times of year since I get to spend more time with family and friends. It’s also my favorite time of year in New York City, despite the cold. I am soooooo not a winter person.

Everywhere I look, Christmas trees and lights are going up all around the city, making it bright and shiny and oh so festive. My family and I visit every year to look at all the windows, go to the Nutcracker ballet, and share a special dinner together. I’ll share photos of that day as soon as we go!

For today, I’m sharing some of the Christmas trees I pass every day. This one is in Bryant Park by the skating rink and little shops that pop up for the holiday season.

This one is in the Chrysler Building lobby right next to the Toys for Tots boxes! I always buy a toy or two to put in there so that kids won’t wake up without something on Christmas Day.

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving and your holiday season is off to a good start! See you all tomorrow!

#ManCandyMonday Liam Hemsworth and Wedding Week #Giveaway

I know last week was tough for many of you since it was a holiday week, so this week we are continuing the Wedding Week Giveaway. Leave a comment on any blog for the week of November 25 to 29 for a chance to win a backlist title from THE CALLING/REBORN vampire novel series.

Today’s Man Candy Monday is hottie Liam Hemsworth who is burning up screens in the second film in the THE HUNGER GAMES franchise! Wow, those Hemsworth genes are amazing.

Actually, the more I look at him in this shot, the more I think he’d be a perfect David Harris, Diana’s ex-partner from the FBI. David is also one half of the romance in BORN TO LOVE, this month’s release in THE CALLING/REBORN vampire novel series.

We’ve got a giveaway going on at all the blog tour stops! We’ll pick one person who comments to win a REBORN T-shirt and a $25 gift card to your choice of online retailer.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s hard to believe it’s Thanksgiving already, but here it is! I know Diana and Ryder are thankful for so many things today, but today, I want to share with you all the things for which I am thankful.

For starters, all of you, my friends who share so much with me. Thank you for your friendship and support.

Many thanks to my family for being so supportive and understanding of my craziness!

Thanks to our military men, women and families who sacrifice so much so we may be free.

Last, but not least, I am thankful to be healthy and happy and able to live in this amazing Nation that has given me so many opportunities.

God bless you all and I hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving.

Diana & Ryder Wedding Video

Although Diana is a no-nonsense girl and didn’t want a big shin dig, Ryder insisted on celebrating such a momentous occasion with a wonderful wedding event. Guests, flowers, cake, music, a reception . . . Ryder spared no expense to make it a very special night!

Here’s Diana and Ryder’s wedding video for you. Check back tomorrow with some thoughts on the wedding. Then come back for a sexy #Fridayread from the night of the wedding.

You’re Invited to the Wedding of Diana Reyes and Ryder Latimer

BORN TO LOVE Vampire SuspenseYep, it’s really happening right here and right now! It’s been nearly five years since Diana and Ryder met in a dark alley. Three years since Diana nearly lost her life on a winter’s night.

Diana and Ryder have battled time and time again for their love and life and today it’s all about their happiness as they finally take that next step in their relationship!

I hope you enjoy this free bonus content that also gives you a clue as to the other romance in BORN TO LOVE.

Like the events in the Diana and Ryder story line, I know that many of you have been waiting for Maggie and David’s story! I hope you will enjoy it and yes, you will see more of Maggie and David in future books, including DIE FOR LOVE.

Since Diana and Ryder’s wedding is such a big event in The Calling/Reborn Vampire novels, we’re going to have a week long celebration and each day I am going to pick someone who comments on the blog to win one of the backlist books in THE CALLING/REBORN series.

BORN TO LOVE Bonus Content: Diana & Ryder's Big Event

A Little Craziness and a Spotlight!

I have to confess I’m a little crazy this week! We’re getting ready for a big first anniversary celebration at my daughter’s store, there is the big event here at the blog on Monday (plus the release of BORN TO LOVE) and of course, Thanksgiving!

So I hope you’ll understand that I need to take a little break from the blog this week, but I’ll be back on Monday for the big day and some photos of the very special event!

Today, take a moment to visit with me at Toot’s Book Reviews as I chat about why I am a scairdy cat!

#ManCandyMonday Tom Hiddleston

I haven’t seen the new THOR movie yet, but I must say that Tom Hiddleston caught my eye in the first movie. Sexy in a different kind of way. Maybe because of the real bad boyness! I can’t wait to see the new movie!

What do you think about Tom? Sexy? Can he compete with Chris Hemsworth?
