Chocolate and Roses Blog Hop and Giveaway


Welcome, everyone, to the Chocolate and Roses Blog Hop and Giveaway. Is there anything better than chocolate and roses? I say there is! Erotic romance. Well, okay, maybe not better, but certainly a close second. :) I wanted to introduce you to my upcoming erotic romance release from Siren Publishing, Queen Bitch of the Callowwood Pack. It's set to release on May 23rd and then the howling begins. No, not the werewolves per se, more like me jumping for joy for my debut Siren release.
Russell Crowe as Jeff Lightfoot

Publishing Queen Bitch is a dream come true, not only did Siren pick the story up, but it started out as a dream I had one night. Russell Crowe starred as Jeff Lightfoot and I strolled around in Julianna Morris' shoes for a while. Can you imagine spending time with that grin and those smoldering eyes? It was a good night! ;) When I woke up, I told my husband the whole story then hurried down to the computer to start writing it all down.

Here's the blurb:

Julianna Morris didn’t know werewolves existed…until she became one.

Hiding her new identity, Julianna returns home only to find her teenage crush, Jeff Lightfoot, is the future Alpha of the Callowwood werewolf pack. She’s unexpectedly chosen as a candidate for the pack’s next Luna, the Alpha female—and Jeff’s mate. This is perfect, except Julianna knows nothing about being a werewolf, and someone’s determined to make her fail the Seven Tests of the Luna.

Jeff Lightfoot lusted after Julianna for years, even when he thought she was human. Now she’s home and all his—if she passes the tests. She’s his True Mate and he wants no one else, but pack politics trump Mother Nature and will prevent him from choosing Julianna if she fails.

For the future she wants, Julianna must pass the tests to become Queen Bitch of Callowwood—or watch Jeff take another woman as his mate.

In celebration of both great dreams (chocolate and roses count) and this new release, I'm giving away a digital copy (winner's choice of format) of Queen Bitch of the Callowwood Pack to one lucky commenter who leaves a valid email address or Twitter handle, and answers the following question:

Do you have vivid dreams, and would you write them down if you did?

The blog hop runs from Sataurday, May 5th through Wednesday, May 9th. The winner will be announced here on the blog on Friday, May 11th. The giveaway is open internationally, though void where prohibited. This is an erotic paranormal romance, so you must be over 18 yrs old to win. You don't have to follow my blog to win, but I'd sure appreciate it. :)

There are many other authors participating and many other chances to win fabulous prizes. Just click on the links below and you're off. Thanks for stopping by, good luck, and happy reading!

Happy May Day!

I hope your May Day is glorious. May you get sunshine for the first time in weeks! Maybe you have friends and family coming to help celebrate the warming of the year. I went out and looked at my garden today and found all our flowers flourishing.

 This unusual creature is a Martha Washington geranium. I loved the rich red color.

 I had one California Poppy volunteer from last year. They always remind me of my paternal grandmother. She loved them and pointed them out to me on the sides of the road when she came to visit.

 These are called Green Leaf Daisies and when we moved into this house the plant was the size of a basketball with only twenty blooms.

This is my other Martha Washington geranium and I love its "star" qualities. Plus, it's purple! :)

 I loved the purple flowers on this desert succulent. I have no idea what kind of plant it is, but it's purple!

Mr. SM got me a rose plant last year and it barely bloomed. This year our Tropicana rose is producing quite well and they smell wonderful (I buy roses by nose).

I hope you have a marvelous May Day (and Beltane) and this gives you some of those May Flowers the April showers were supposed to bring. Happy May Day!
