Get Ready For the Twitter Giveaway Coming This Friday!

Yep, with the end of June rapidly approaching, I figured I might as well wrap up the month with a giveaway in a final shout-out for Darkness & Light’s muchero cheapness price that’s been going on all month long.
Which means, this Friday, anyone who tweets with links to anywhere selling Darkness & Light at its promotional price will get entered into a giveaway!
Yay!

Well, winner gets to choose a copy of any one of my published titles (including Eternal, which releases next week)!

The contest officially begins Friday, from 9am until 9pm UK time. Each tweet will count as 1 entry, so the more tweets, the more entries. I shall pick & announce a winner as soon as the giveaway is over.

And to make this whole milarky even easier, I’ve even pre-written some tweets.

LUCKY LEPRECHAUN GIVEAWAY HOP!

Do you feel lucky?

Well do ya, punk?

Just as well, because it’s time for the Lucky Leprechaun Giveaway Hop.

Huge thanks to I am a Reader Not a Writer, Books Complete Me, and Author Cindy Thomas for hosting this hop. Clicking on the hop image will take you to the linky list. Please be sure to check out the other participating blogs, where there are bound to be some great giveaways.

Okay, as you’re here to see what I have up for grabs, onward we go.

ONE winner will get to choose one E-Copy (Kindle or E-pub) from any of my titles. Alongside your chosen title, the winner will also receive a signed digital copy of the accompanying book cover.

So … what books do you get to choose from, you ask?

Check below:

Jem Stonehouse, a housewife with a neurotic husband bent on keeping her in line, dreams about werewolves in, what she believes, is a bid to escape boredom.
Sean Holloway is a werewolf, living a charade within the human race, whose mind drifts to a bond he shares with a woman he hasn’t met–at least, not in this lifetime.
Apart, the two are safe but live unfulfilled lives.
Together, they’ll become prey to rival packs just as they have been for hundreds of years.
When their worlds collide, and not for the first time, instinct takes over. Dreams become reality. Futures are uncertain. To keep history from repeating itself, Sean must teach Jem about his heritage, convince her of her role, and win her love.
Can Jem accept her destiny before it’s too late, or is her inner wolf buried too deep to save her future with Sean?

DARKNESS & LIGHT: HOLLOWAY PACK #1

OR

Three men never expected love to wreak so much havoc in their lives.
In Marked, Darkness & Light’s Sean Holloway is on a mission—to find the perfect gift for the woman of his dreams. When all conventional choices turn out to be the wrong ones, each failed attempt convinces Sean his self-imposed task is impossible. But in the world of the Holloway Pack, anything is possible if it can be kept a secret.
In Misguided, Little White Lies’s Wyatt Moreland is hot on the trail of a wanted man when a rumor about his fiancée halts his progress. His desire to keep her safe wars with her need to be involved in his work and could derail their entire wedding unless he finds out the truth before she does.
In Tempted, The Glass Man’s Liam Kane made a promise to the fae he loves never to use his power to harm others. When a horrific event angers him, the energy boiling inside seduces him into walking a dark path. He has but one choice: resist his own nature or give up the one he loves.
Will the three men make the right choices? Or will their actions destroy their futures with the women they love?

Werewolf Sean Holloway treats the village marketplace like a sexual buffet, though his charm does little to win over his latest entr e of choice. Whether because of Jem Stonehouse’s unique scent, her headstrong nonchalance, or the fact he is forbidden to see her by his pack’s rules, Sean wants her.When Jem is nothing but flippant toward his advances, he pursues her with vigour, stealing moments alone with her without a libido-driven agenda.The new and heady experience for him drives their relationship beyond romantic interest, and straight toward love.That is, until Jem learns the truth about Sean’s heritage. Knowledge of the existence of werewolves leads to only one outcome: death.In this prequel to Darkness & Light, we are taken back in time, to the very beginning of Jem and Sean’s love-across-the-centuries relationship.Did it end there?

So … because of that, I shall be altering up how I do this giveaway. This time there’ll be three prizes: three winners—one prize each.

Make sense?

And here’s what’s up for grabs. Three lucky winners will each win ONE of these E-Books:

Jem Stonehouse, a housewife with a neurotic husband bent on keeping her in line, dreams about werewolves in, what she believes, is a bid to escape boredom.
Sean Holloway is a werewolf, living a charade within the human race, whose mind drifts to a bond he shares with a woman he hasn’t met–at least, not in this lifetime.
Apart, the two are safe but live unfulfilled lives.
Together, they’ll become prey to rival packs just as they have been for hundreds of years.
When their worlds collide, and not for the first time, instinct takes over. Dreams become reality. Futures are uncertain. To keep history from repeating itself, Sean must teach Jem about his heritage, convince her of her role, and win her love.
Can Jem accept her destiny before it’s too late, or is her inner wolf buried too deep to save her future with Sean?

Darkness & Light (A Holloway Pack Story, 1)

Werewolf Sean Holloway treats the village marketplace like a sexual buffet, though his charm does little to win over his latest entrée of choice. Whether because of Jem Stonehouse’s unique scent, her headstrong nonchalance, or the fact he is forbidden to see her by his pack’s rules, Sean wants her.
When Jem is nothing but flippant toward his advances, he pursues her with vigour, stealing moments alone with her without a libido-driven agenda.
The new and heady experience for him drives their relationship beyond romantic interest, and straight toward love.
That is, until Jem learns the truth about Sean’s heritage. Knowledge of the existence of werewolves leads to only one outcome: death.
In this prequel to Darkness & Light, we are taken back in time, to the very beginning of Jem and Sean’s love-across-the-centuries relationship.
Did it end there? Or did Sean defy his own pack to save the woman he loves?

Instinct (A Holloway Pack Story, 0)

Three men never expected love to wreak so much havoc in their lives.
In Marked, Darkness & Light’s Sean Holloway is on a mission—to find the perfect gift for the woman of his dreams. When all conventional choices turn out to be the wrong ones, each failed attempt convinces Sean his self-imposed task is impossible. But in the world of the Holloway Pack, anything is possible if it can be kept a secret.

Will the three men make the right choices? Or will their actions destroy their futures with the women they love?

MIDWINTER’S EVE BLOG HOP: TRIPLE GIVEAWAY!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL WHO ENTERED.

I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNER OF THE TRIPLE E-BOOK GIVEAWAY IS:

COURTNEY WYANT: COMMENT #38

CONGRATULATIONS, COURTNEY. YOUR BOOKS WILL BE WITH YOU SHORTLY.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wheeeeeee! Yes, it’s time again for another bloghop and this time it’s the midwinter’s eve one:

Admittedly, I was a little concerned about this one due to the time of year. Anyone who visits my blog hops often will know I usually like to send out a bar of chocolate for the winner to munch on whilst falling into the world of the Holloway Pack. Alas, the postal service pretty much sucks right about now so no chocolate.

BUT …

Fear not … because I decided to make it up to y’all with a triple E-Book giveaway.

Yes, I am giving away ONE copy of each of the following to ONE lucky winner:

Darkness & Light (A Holloway Pack Story #1)

 Jem Stonehouse, a housewife with a neurotic husband bent on keeping her in line, dreams about werewolves in, what she believes, is a bid to escape boredom.
Sean Holloway is a werewolf, living a charade within the human race, whose mind drifts to a bond he shares with a woman he hasn’t met–at least, not in this lifetime.
Apart, the two are safe but live unfulfilled lives.
Together, they’ll become prey to rival packs just as they have been for hundreds of years.
When their worlds collide, and not for the first time, instinct takes over. Dreams become reality. Futures are uncertain. To keep history from repeating itself, Sean must teach Jem about his heritage, convince her of her role, and win her love.
Can Jem accept her destiny before it’s too late, or is her inner wolf buried too deep to save her future with Sean?

Into the Unknown (containing my short story, Marked—a delightful story set after Darkness & Light told from the POV of the delectable Sean Holloway):

 Three men never expected love to wreak so much havoc in their lives. 
In Marked, Darkness & Light’s Sean Holloway is on a mission—to find the perfect gift for the woman of his dreams. When all conventional choices turn out to be the wrong ones, each failed attempt convinces Sean his self-imposed task is impossible. But in the world of the Holloway Pack, anything is possible if it can be kept a secret.
In Misguided, Little White Lies’s Wyatt Moreland is hot on the trail of a wanted man when a rumor about his fiancée halts his progress. His desire to keep her safe wars with her need to be involved in his work and could derail their entire wedding unless he finds out the truth before she does.
In Tempted, The Glass Man’s Liam Kane made a promise to the fae he loves never to use his power to harm others. When a horrific event angers him, the energy boiling inside seduces him into walking a dark path. He has but one choice: resist his own nature or give up the one he loves.
Will the three men make the right choices? Or will their actions destroy their futures with the women they love?

And …. *drum roll* a copy of my NOT YET RELEASED novella: Instinct (A Holloway Pack Prequel):

 Werewolf Sean Holloway treats the village marketplace like a sexual buffet, though his charm does little to win over his latest entrée of choice. Whether because of Jem Stonehouse’s unique scent, her headstrong nonchalance, or the fact he is forbidden to see her by his pack’s rules, Sean wants her.
When Jem is nothing but flippant toward his advances, he pursues her with vigour, stealing moments alone with her without a libido-driven agenda.
The new and heady experience for him drives their relationship beyond romantic interest, and straight toward love.
That is, until Jem learns the truth about Sean’s heritage. Knowledge of the existence of werewolves leads to only one outcome: death.
In this prequel to Darkness & Light, we are taken back in time, to the very beginning of Jem and Sean’s love-across-the-centuries relationship.
Did it end there? Or did Sean defy his own pack to save the woman he loves?

3 GUYS + 1 WOMAN = TOTAL AWESOMENESS!

What?

Wait!

It’s not what y’all think, you dirty minded blighter’s.

It’s a character interview.

And it’s happening over at BurningxImpossiblyxBright right now!

Yes, to celebrate the launch of Into the Unknown (just yesterday, in fact) Ambur is hosting a giveaway for us, but on top of that … she agreed to interview the three guys who appear in the Into the Unknown anthology:

Sean Holloway (of Darkness & Light)

Wyatt Moreland (of Little White Lies) &

Liam (of The Glass Man).

I’ve never had as much fun as I did corroborating with the marvellous Aimee Laine and delightful Jocelyn Adams to compose this triple interview.

So … to witness the witty banter of the thrumming threesome and for a chance to win yourself a copy of Into the Unknown, all the have to do is fly on over to Ambur’s blog.

Go, go, go, goooooo!

 

DRUM ROLL PLEASE ….

There’s nothing quite like waiting for that day come to round: the launch of a new release.

I got the jig-bug when Darkness & Light launched.

I got the jig-bug when my free short story Fated Encounter launched.

And I’ve got it again. Because today is the official release day of my short story Marked in the Into the Unknown anthology.

So, if you’ll allow me just a moment to screech out my Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I shall reveal my true purpose for attempting to lure you all here.

December will be a great month for giveaways so it stood to reason that launch day would be an apt time to announce one. Yep, over on the blog of J. Taylor Publishing, there is a great giveaway happening. For a chance to win E-Books (including Into the Unknown and Darkness & Light), bookmarks, and goodies galore, head on over—all you have to do is leave a comment on there.

How about you? What news do you have to share lately?

MARKED {INTO THE UNKNOWN} #sixsunday

Good Sunday, everyone!

Thank you all for returning to my blog each week to read my snippets.

Anyone who has been following knows that Sean Holloway has been secretly shopping for something secret. This week? His big brother Ethan thinks he’s found the solution. From Marked, in the Into the Unknown anthology due out December 1st:

Beneath the harsh glare of supermarket strip lights, Ethan waved a packet beneath my nose. I dragged my focus from the crinkly plastic and gave him my disbelief full force. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

“No.” He rustled the packaging in front of my eyes. “Come on, admit it—it’s genius.”

Ethan–so full of his own worth, hehehe.

I hope you have enjoyed sharing in my Marked samples. Alas, this is the last week I shall be sharing them. Not because I’m stepping down from 6SS, though–but because, starting next week, I shall be sharing sentences from Instinct–a Sean Holloway novella. So if you’ve enjoyed this tale of his, please come back to share in another one.

Cheers for stopping by. Links to the other participants can be found HERE—you should check them out—or why not sign up and join in the fun yourself?

MARKED {INTO THE UNKNOWN} #sixsunday

Good Sunday, everyone!

Thank you all for returning to my blog each week to read my snippets.

For the last couple weeks, you’ve followed the antics of Sean Holloway and no doubt tried to figure out what the shifty werewolf (get it: shifty werewolf? Heh) has been up to. This week, he hits the shops again, trying to find what he’s been looking for in his secret outings. From Marked, in the Into the Unknown anthology due out December 1st:

“It’s just that she has a tendency to … swell …” My fingers stretched out from compressed to straight, like I thought the mime explained everything in one action. “… or grow … bigger … and I need jewellery that will accommodate that.”

“Is it some form of oedema your partner is suffering with?” asked Mr Owl.

I swung my attention back to the huge unblinking eyes that peered out from behind even bigger, round glasses. “Not exactly.”

Poor Sean. One has to feel slightly sorry for him, eh?

To be continued next week ….

Cheers for stopping by. Links to the other participants can be found HERE—you should check them out—or why not sign up and join in the fun yourself?

MARKED {INTO THE UNKNOWN} #sixsunday

Good Sunday, everyone!

Thank you, all, for visiting my blog.

If you recall last week, I left you with a snippet that showed you Sean in trouble with Jem and her reaction to his secret antics and sneaking around. This week’s sample from Marked (due out in the Into the Unknown anthology on December 1st) shows Sean’s botched attempt at dealing with Jem’s confrontation.

Here you all go; hope you enjoy (NB: bold denotes italics):

The crush of my lips swallowed her words as my groan of frustration spilled up from my throat. “It is not you, Jem.” My whispered words merged with her breaths as her sapphire pools shone before me. “It’s not you. It’s me.”

She gave a quiet gasp, drowned out by the sudden pound of her heart, and a rogue tear weaved through her lashes, escaping onto her cheek before she closed her eyes.

Um … yeah, not the best thing in the world to say to your female, Sean.

To be continued next week …

Cheers for stopping by. Links to the other participants can be found HERE—you should check them out—or why not sign up and join in the fun yourself?

INTO THE UNKNOWN GIVEAWAY!

There is an AWESOME giveaway happening today over at the blog of J. Taylor Publishing for FIVE … yes, FIVE copies of Into the Unknown.

This great anthology contains short stories by me (duh!), Aimee Laine & Jocelyn Adams, each one told from the pov of the male character in each of our debut novels (Darkness & Light, Little White Lies & The Glass Man), and is not due out until DECEMBER 1st, so winning a copy would ensure you to be one of the lucky few who READ IT FIRST!

Here’s the blurb, so you can decide if it sounds like something you’d enjoy:

Three men never expected love to wreak so much havoc in their lives.

In Marked, Darkness & Light’s Sean Holloway is on a mission—to find the perfect gift for the woman of his dreams. When all conventional choices turn out to be the wrong ones, each failed attempt convinces Sean his self-imposed task is impossible. But in the world of the Holloway Pack, anything is possible if it can be kept a secret.

In Misguided, Little White Lies’s Wyatt Moreland is hot on the trail of a wanted man when a rumor about his fiancée halts his progress. His desire to keep her safe wars with her need to be involved in his work and could derail their entire wedding unless he finds out the truth before she does.

In Tempted, The Glass Man’s Liam Kane made a promise to the fae he loves never to use his power to harm others. When a horrific event angers him, the energy boiling inside seduces him into walking a dark path. He has but one choice: resist his own nature or give up the one he loves.

Will the three men make the right choices? Or will their actions destroy their futures with the women they love?

And if you’re still not sure, why not head on over to BurningxImpossiblyxBright for a butchers at Ambur’s review and her thoughts on Into the Unknown.

So … sound like your cup of tea? What are you waiting for then? Go enter!
