Happy New Year! I'll keep this short and sweet and show you my books so you can get to the prizes ;-) Please take a minute and tell me your favorite thing about 2012. Make sure to leave your e-mail address.

In 2012, I released the first books in two paranormal romance series: "Dark Sentinels," and "The Alerians - Dark Progeny." "Dark Sentinels Book Two: Torin" is with my editor as we speak, soon to be released, and "The Alerians - Dark Progeny: Gideon's Light" is in the works!

Jordan Taylor is a feisty, take charge, Rubinesque beauty with a tough façade, but after a string of lackluster relationships, her dream of a man who truly loves her and appreciates her strength seems impossible…Until she meets Canaan, the man her fiancé claims is his best friend! Instinctively, she knows her neat, if lackluster life is about to change.
Born more than 200 years ago, Canaan looks like an angel but he’s far from it. In his world, the ratio of men to women is 500 to 1, and although he’s a superior being, he’s willing to break the most sacred law of his brothers, even drink human blood, to have one of his own. To claim Jordan as his own, Canaan will have to betray his friend, humble himself enough to win her love, and risk his very life.

Dr. Akila Marshall is a veterinarian with a calling – save as many stray animals as possible. The only child of wealthy, yet distant parents, she’s convinced that love is not for her. Until…

Sable’s search for his twin sister leads him to Akila. Born into a rare species of wolf shifters whose main purpose is protecting others, he has always been forced to fend for himself, but Akila’s loving, protective nature draws him – and not a moment too soon. Together, they must learn to trust each other enough to overcome a new, deadly enemy.
And away we go...


It's another year over! Can you believe it? Well we authors, readers, and bloggers sure can't. And to celebrate the New Year with bang, we're going crazy and sending out so many prizes, fun parties, experiences, and other goodies, that it's a bit scary.

Susanmp, you're my heroine! You go, girl :-) Losing weight is one of the most challenging accomplishments in life. If you can lose weight and keep it off, I believe you can do anything.
Dariel Raye said…

The best thing that happened in 2012 was the birth of a friend's son. He was very premature but a very strong, determined little boy. He is a true miracle.

One of my favorite things of 2012 was getting the news that my daughters pacemaker is doing its job, and she is finally back to being a normal kid/teenager. She started out with a fast heartbeat(tackycardia) from out of the blue when she was 10 & ended up with a pacemaker when she was 11. I had to quit working & stay at home and now she's 15. The news makes me sooo happy & I get to go back to work. YAY & thank God.
Happy New Year & Big Hugs
Thanks for the blog hop & giveaway :D
