A special party at the Author Roast and Toast

INVITATION

Today we're doing things a little differently and have a special guest hostess at the Author Roast and Toast - Tess Kincaid, heroine of Sharon Donovan's latest romantic suspense novel 'Her Biggest Fan'.

I'll be there as well of course, along with Mary Ricksen, and we're joined by Tess's handsome sheriff friend, Mike Andretti, (who Tess secretly fancies). We're all trying to solve the mystery of who's stalking Tess, and what's causing all the spooky goings on at the old mansion she's inherited from her father.

Sharon's hunky butler, Oliver will be on hand to dish out lots of yummy virtual food and drink, so please come and join us - and leave a comment to win a download of 'Her Biggest Fan'.

Come and help our dear sister hostess celebrate her latest release!

Sylvan Mist by Sky Purington - released today!

I'm really happy to announce the release of my dear friend Sky Purrington's latest book today. 'Sylvan Mist' is the third in the trilogy started in 'Fate's Monolith, the Mac'Lomain trilogy. If you love Scottish warriors, and time travelling to medieval Scottland you won't want to miss this latest book from Sky.

It's available from her Publisher The Wild Rose Press

Here's the Blurb:

Coira O'Donnell refuses to acknowledge the Scotsman haunting her. Why should she? She carries no magic and she's newly engaged. Well aware of the mysterious tie between the medieval Mac'Lomains and her mother's clan, the Brouns, Coira will have no part of it. She much prefers a proper English gentleman to a barbarian living six hundred years in the past. However, as one whirlwind day will prove, she has little choice in the matter.

Chieftain William Mac'Lomain did not call her back, yet she arrives. Coira is not the woman meant for him. Or is she? Her arrival marks the start of a highland war unlike any Scotland has witnessed before, one born of magic. Soon, he finds himself in a tangled web of duty, loyalty and unexpected love. A love so unattainable and powerful it may cost him the war; and his heart.

We're celebrating Sky's release at the Author Roast and Toast today, so to find out more about this talented author and her magical stories, come on over and leave a comment - there'll be a draw and the winner will receive a free download of 'Sylvan Mist'.

Birthday Bash and Mexican Fiesta

My sweet friend Sharon Donovan is holding a Birthday/Halloween bash for me today, over at her Blog. I'm giving away a download of my story in the 'Song Of The Muses', 'Dancing With Fate.

There's also a party going on at the Author Roast and Toast with special guest Ashley Ludwig. You have the chance to win a copy of her book 'All Or Nothing'. And as if that's not enough Sharon Donovan's hyunky butler Oliver is flitting between both blogs. He's rather dishy!

Oh - and although she keeps threatening to auction him off Sharon is really rather fond of him although she'd never let him know that, but he's her creation and she doesn't allow him to wander off, however big the bribe! *grin*

ANNOUNCEMENT - THE 'AUTHOR ROAST AND TOAST'

I'm very excited because today four friends and myself are proud to announce the launch of:

A New Blog Promo Opportunity - THE 'AUTHOR ROAST AND TOAST':

Your latest release is ‘Available Now’ – or is about to be set loose on the world. It’s wonderful, the cover’s beautiful, and you can’t wait for people to buy it (or for even more people to buy it if it’s been out a while.) We all know how important it is to promote and get your book out there; Loops, Groups, Blogs, Interviews. Everyone’s doing it these days – so how about something a little different?

Do you have a whacky sense of humor? Do you fancy a book spotlight in an unconventional setting, with five hostesses waiting on you hand and foot (and occasionally taking the Mickey, oh OK, taking the Mickey rather a LOT with a little help – or hindrance – from their own personal little helpers or ‘specialities’, not to mention an alarmingly good looking and seductive, flirtatious cyber butler? (see my 'featured hunk', I'm only 'borrowing' him though!)

Four fun loving ladies just as crazy as I am, and myself have got together to run a blog/bar that’s a little bit zany and a lot of fun. You may remember the ‘Book Roast’ which, sadly for its countless fans, hung up its spurs after riding off into the sunset? We felt it was time for something to fill the void: To this end, in memory of, and in tribute to the late ‘Book Roast’ the ‘Author Roast And Toast’ Blog was created.

If you fancy putting yourself and your book forward for roasting and toasting in a somewhat unconventional environment – if you can take a lot of good humored ‘ribbing’ and give it back – if you want to have FUN promoting - then the Author Roast And Toast is the place to be.

We do, of course have to have a few rules and regulations (Nothing too heavy, but Oliver the butler insists on it) If you want to view them and find out how it all works, you are invitedc come over to http://authorroastandtoast.blogspot.com/ On August 28th , between 9.00 and 4.00pm, for our Grand Opening where we will introduce our first 'Roastee', author Danielle Thorne. You'll be able to find out how you can submit yourself for roasting, and have fun with the hostesses and their unique 'helpers'. There is also a rumor that there’ll be some prizes flying around for those kind (or brave enough) to leave a comment.

This is your own personal invitation to The Author Roast and Toast Blog - bring along your sense of humor and be prepared to have fun.
