Big news, bigger giveaway!!!

Welcome to the Tuesday tease!

Yes! It’s here, my ~BIG~ news. Things have been happening behind the scenes and I’m so glad to finally share them with you! Drumroll………The SOMEONE TO LOVE Series has been purchased by Skyscape publishing in a three-book deal! *throws confetti* *happy dances*

Skyscape is a division of Amazon’s traditional publishing arm, and has an amazing team that’s dedicated to making their books succeed. I’m so excited to be working with everyone over at Skyscape including the super awesome, Tim Ditlow! *waves at Tim* I’m super thrilled to experience everything they have to offer and super excited to get started.

I want to especially thank my agent Rachelle Gardner for helping me get there. She’s my ninja fairy godmother, so it’s no surprise she makes magic happen. She always seems to get me to exciting places. Thank you, Rachelle!

And I can’t wait to bring the rest of the series to you. It's steamy, and fun, and well... more Cruise. ;)

So, what does this mean? SOMEONE TO LOVE will be released as a paperback sometime in the fall (October-ish). Book two, Ally and Morgan’s story will be released around the New Year—and the final book which reverts back to Kendall and Cruise will hit the bookshelves shortly thereafter.

I’m really excited—so much so that I want to get you excited too. So here's a little giveaway to celebrate this awesome publishing news, the launch of EVANESCENT, and as my thank you to YOU for getting me on the bestseller’s list this year. I’m giving away four Amazon gift cards for $25.00 each, along with a Kindle fire HD!!!! That’s right, FIVE winners!!!!!!!! I’ll announce the winners on May 7, 2013.

Now for some odd news…

Saturday morning I wake up groggy, sans coffee, flip open the laptop and see the new ad for this season of the Bachelorette. Fun right? I’m their biggest fan so I’m already there! But I must say I was a bit surprised when I saw the dress the new bachelorette donned to kick off her hormone-laden journey. It looked a little familiar. Like really familiar. As in Laken Stewart, familiar. Well, anyway here are my book covers, and their ad for the new season so we can do a little juxtaposition…

SO what do you think? A little photo-shopping and I can use it as the final cover for the trilogy. Right? 

I’m teasing. I’m totally awestruck to be in such great company. And I guess this is a great time to tell you all about my New Adult book entitled, THE FINAL ROSE, in which my protagonist Christina Harrison goes on a wild and steamy adventure while shopping for love on a reality show. Sounds cool, right? I jest. I JEST!!!

I love my covers. I love their ad—great minds and all that good stuff. I’m still their number one fan. Or at least I will be once I procure some tickets to the season finale.

On to the teasers and please don’t forget to enter below with rafflecopter!

Happy reading!   

ELYSIAN (Celestra Series Book 8) The Final book in the young adult series.

 (Logan to Skyla in front of Chloe)

“You and Chloe are friends?” Logan wraps his arm around me tight as we follow Ingram down the winding path. “When did this happen?”

“It happened never. She’s just trying to meet her quota of lies for the day. I’m her most prolific subject if you haven’t noticed.”

ELYSIAN (Celestra Series Book 8) The Final book in the young adult series.

(Skyla with Barron and Emma)

“So have you decided which one you’ll spend the rest of your life with?” Barron says it so banal and polite you’d think I was getting ready to order dinner off a menu—more like dessert. Gage would be liquid fudge and Logan would be one of those exotic dishes that they set on fire before they serve it to you.

I shake the thought away.

I can’t believe my mind just reduced a Celestra to flames, it’s so not right.

ELYSIAN (Celestra Series Book 8) The Final book in the young adult series.

(Gage and Skyla on Rockaway Beach with Nev)

Nev has the nerve to hop into our tiny hut and onto my back.

“Hey, dude.” Gage gives him a gentle push off my person. “If I’m not getting any action, neither are you,” he teases. 

I give a soft laugh. “God, Gage.” I trace out his perfect lips, and my muscles tense up. “Everything in me wants to give you more than a little action,” I whisper.

Hope you enjoyed!
