Happy New Year!

2016 ended with a kick to the gut: All Romance ebooks closed down. It was a very dramatic departure for authors and publishers. For me, it meant my selling strategy for 2017 disintegrating. I had purchased a year’s subscription of advertisements and had big plans.

I’m still in the process of rebuilding my plan, but as you can see part of it is a new blog look!

Overall, though, 2016 was a good year. I hope yours was too. I’m looking forward to bringing you more hot heroes, nifty nails and classy coffee in 2017 here at:

Free Fridays!

I thought I’d do something a little fun for the hot summer months. I’m going to giveaway a book every Friday. Not just to one person, but to anyone! Exclusively at All Romance, I’ll set one of my books on sale for FREE each Friday to the end of July. The sale ends at midnight MDT or whenever I get home…the later of the two.

Of course, I’d appreciate any review you’d like to leave there 🙂

Since the first episode of The Beautician and the Billionaire is always free, I thought I’d start with offering the second episode in case you’ve just turned into the serial and are a little lost.

Corporate Billionaire Vote! Win a $5 Amazon Gift Card

NfB

Welcome to the first Billionaire Vote for my upcoming picture book Nails for a Billionaire! I need help picking out the perfect billionaire for each category: Corporate, Property, Heir, Tech, Entreprenuer and Prince. Here’s how it works:

  1. Each day this week, I’ll be posting 4 pictures in one of the categories.
  2. In the comments, please vote for your favorite picture. The man who gets the most votes will be featured in the book.
  3. After 24 hours, I’ll close the voting, put the names of everyone who voted in a hat and draw out two names.
  4. The first name drawn will recieve a $5 gift card to Amazon and a free personalized e-copy of the book when it’s released at the beginning of May. The ebook will have a page thanking you for supporting my book and blog and a special picture of the billionaire you voted for. Check here for an example.
  5. The second name drawn will also receive a free personalized e-copy of Nails for a Billionaire as described above.
  6. I’ll post the winners at the top of the next day’s voting blog. Vote every day!

And finally, today’s category is Corporate Billionaire. It was hard work, but I managed to make my way through hundreds of pictures to find the top four men who encompass the conservative yet charismatic features Corporate Billionaires have. Which one should be in the book?

Barista!

Practicing my barista skills today. I haven’t decided on a drink for the next Holiday Cafe book, but I have a few ideas. Also, my urban fantasy series coming out in May, Through the Magic, will take place at a coffee house in Old Town Albuquerque. That story will be all about the special roasts, but I might want a few fancy drinks for it too.
