That’s right everyone, this is the final week of our Purple Explosion contest! All four jewels are up, hidden of the websites of myself, Lillian Feisty, Red Garnier, and R.G. Alexander!
And this week is doubly exciting because it sees the release of BOTH Wizard’s Thief (Wednesday) and Lillian’s fantastic book I Love Lacy (Friday)!
And if you haven’t picked up Red’s Amatista or R.G.’s Who Wants To Date A Superhero you are missing out on some hot, sexy reading.
This is a very exciting week for us because it’s my week for the Purple Explosion!! Wizard’s Thief is coming out next Wednesday and I can’t wait. Despite my insane schedule, I have some fantastic friends who are helping me promote my book.
R.G Alexander has written me a beautiful poem, sung to The Music of the Night (which is one of my favourite musical songs!!). Thanks so much RG for the fantastc poem. 
Also, now hidden somewhere on my site is my special jewel. You need to find all four (R.G.’s, Red’s, and Lillian’s) to qualify for our special grand prize. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it!
Yes everyone the purple explosion has hit the blog world. This month the are many of us who have an Ellora’s Cave Jewel book releasing. Today sees my good friend Red Garnier’s Amathista released! Now, I’ve had the pleasure of reading this book already and let me tell you, I can’t wait to buy it! It’s a hot futuristic with a hero who will melt your computer screens.
Here’s the blurb:
For years the Fohers have sought the same treasure—Amatista. Only by finding the mystical river of amethysts will Kavi and his people be safe.
But Kavi doesn’t realize his human captive, Liana, with her lush body and eager responses, is more than just a distraction—she is the key to finding the very treasure he seeks.
And don’t forget about our contest!!
I’m feeling silly this morning! I’m very excited because this month sees the release of my next EC book – Wizard’s Thief! This is a hot little number about a thief who tries to steal something from a group of wizards and gets more than she barganed for.
Wizard’s Thief is part of the February Jewel series release from EC and to celebrate a few of us are running one mega contest!!
So watch out for those jewels over the next few weeks! And now this begs the question, what books are you looking forward to this month?
I’m super excited that everyone is going to be joining me for this mid winter boost. I know it’s certainly a motiviation for me to know there will be a bunch of you working hard beside me.
I’m about to sit down now and get my word count done for the day. I’m starting a bit later than normal, but I’m still going to aim for my 1000 words. I just fixed the final line of chapter 4 (it was really bothering me and I couldn’t move on!) and I’m ready to rock on chapter 5.
But before I get going, I need to pimp a good friend of mine who finalled in the Brava contest!! Eve Powers story Unexepectedly Expecting, is a fantastic read (yes, I’ve been lucky enough to read the whole story and I LOVED it!!). She could really use your votes! You can check out all of the Brava finalists here, and you can vote for your favorite here. You simply need to be registered on the boards to vote. Simple!!
Well so far we haven’t blown away here. The wind has been crazy in my neck of the woods last night and this morning. And to make matters worse, the temperature is going to drop from plus to minus and the rain switch to snow. The roads should be fun today.
On this wild Wednesday I thought I’d pimp a few contests that I’m participating in. If you are a member of my newsletter, you’ll be entered into a draw for this fun t-shirt and a copy of Chasing Phoenix! That’s it! Sign up for here super fun.
The Deliciously Naughty Writers is also running a Valentine contest. All you need to do is pop on over to our site and check out the questions to answer! It’s super easy and the prizes…well they’re uber!!
I have a confession to make as well. I’ve barely done any writing this week. But I’ve gotten all caught up on my TV shows and only have CSI left and I’ll have nothing else to watch. Except American Gladiator…which totally ROCKS!!!
To start the New Year off right, I’m running a contest. One lucky subscriber to my monthly newsletter will win an e-copy of Chasing Phoenix and a Christine d’Abo t-shirt! The winner will be announced in my February edition.
To join, simply visit my site at http://www.christinedabo.com/newsletter.shtml
Happy New Year!!
Not because I don’t like my day job, but because I really was into this scene this morning and now I have to get ready for work.
*sigh*
I wanted to thank those of you who popped over to The Romance Studio’s blog yesterday to say hi. I really appreciate it.
I’ve been continuing to work on Taber’s story as I’ve been getting my edits done on Wizard’s Thief, my February release and on The Bond That Heals Us, which is Sara’s story. Thief is done now and ready to go. I have to say I’m anxious to see what the covers for the Jewel of the Nile series are going to look like. I guess I won’t have to wait too long. I haven’t started my edits on Heals yet, but I should get them out the door this week.
And then there is Taber. Poor boy is currently tied up and is trying to get out of a sticky situation. I guess he’ll have to wait around until lunch hour to find out how much more of a punishment he’s going to have to take.
I also wanted to remind everyone that there is still two days left to enter my November newsletter contest. If you sign up by December 1st, you will be automatically entered into a draw to win a passion starter kit and a free e-copy of Sweet and Spicy Spells. All you need to keep you warm on a winter’s night. 
Simply click here and add your name to the list.
