Welcome to my stop on the Mistletoe Hop. This is the first one I've participated in so please bear with me. At the end of the post you'll find the linky list of all the fabulous authors participating. Make sure you check them all out and enter yourself in the contests to win the prizes at each stop. I'm giving away FIVE copies of Brigid's Blessing (The Bigfoot Chronicles) in any ebook format the winners choose. One lucky winner will also get a $10 Amazon Gift Card.
This time of year is one of my favorites. It's the holiday season and for me and my character Bryanna, it's the time of the Winter Solstice or Yule. All the basic traditional symbols of the tree, Yule log, and mistletoe have their roots in the ancient religions...before Christianity. What I love about modern times is we all get to share these traditions and make them our own.
For me, Yule is a time centered around the special magic of colors, snow and tradition. It's a time of rebirth and renewal—a time of new beginnings. This is the time when many folks make resolutions for the upcoming new year and get ready for brighter things to come.
This is what Bryanna wishes for in Brigid's Blessing. She wants nothing more than to have a child of her own. If it means she has to offer herself up to Bigfoot to do it, she will.
Boy does she ever! She wasn't prepared for the raw, animalistic need that hit her the moment Ashar made his presence known to her. The fear that she should've felt wasn't there. Instead she wanted nothing more than to give herself over completely to his lust—over and over again. Here's an EXCERPT.
What do you think? Want to read more? Well if you enter the Rafflecopter below, you'll get entries ton win one of FIVE copies and one of you will get the Amazon gift card as well.

Just for shits and giggles, I looked at my stats on All Romance/Omnilit and found that Brigid's Blessing(The Bigfoot Chronicles) has earned the coveted BEST SELLER silver star! I got it in the "erotica--->Rubenesque" category. I'll take it!
I'm so excited about that star...you have no idea how I've been moping around, worried that folks wouldn't like my work. Now I have proof there are at least a chosen few who do. THANK YOU!!

I know very well that most of you are laughing your asses off right now. Go ahead. You had to sign up for your first hop at one time in your career. I didn't think I wanted to do all this type of promotion, but more people have contacted me through my publisher wanting to know more.
Sorry, but there's quite a bit about me I'm not ready to divulge just yet. Eventually I will, but not now. Being published is just too new for me at the moment and I'm still getting my bearings. Thanks to some fabulous friends at Sassy Vixen Publishing and my other half, I'm on a role!
With the holidays coming up, I thought why not join one of these hops and see what all the hoopla is all about. I'm a bit nervous because I'm a foul mouthed bitch most of the time. I'm really ticked at others who bad mouth my chosen genre, but I won't hold it against them for very long. I figure we're all in this together so there's no reason to burn any bridges—unless you push me too far.
I can take a lot, but when it comes to my friends, family and my writing, I get fired up. Now I'm not saying I'll get pissed if you red my work and decide it's just not for you. I get that. At least you tried it out. I'm talking about the folks who make blanket statements condemning the dark erotic fantasies I choose to write. I say give it a go before you toss it out the window.
I've already rambled much more than I had intended here. I do want to say make sure you stop in during the hop. I will be giving away free ebook copies of Brigid's Blessing to a few lucky winners who stop by...and one will get a $10 Amazon gift card too! I'll be talking about some of my favorite holiday reads. In fact, there is one just put out by my friends at Four Seduced Muses and my publisher. Stay tuned to find out more!
Catch you on the flipside
