Tuesday Teaser

I just found a great new thing I'm going to start doing on my blog. Why not try it on yours, too!

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Go ahead and list your own, too! And a link to your blog.

I'm going to list two for me today.

1. Sheryl Steines - The Day of First Sun (Urban fantasy romance)

a. "Next year I'll beat you!" Bobby yelled. "No you won't," she teased. (pg. 12)


2. Hope Welsh - Linked

a. "It's in your heart, child. Your brain will catch up." (pg. 100)

So, what are your teasers from a book you're reading now?

(BELOW ARE AMAZON LINKS TO BOTH TITLES)

THE DAY OF FIRST SUN

LINKED

Interview with me on The Kindle Romance Author Site

Hello

I did an interview today on Kindle Romance Authors. It was fun to answer questions about my work.

Wow, did I pick a bad day to sleep in, hmm?

In honor of the interview, I'm having just a little contest to run with the interview. Answer the following questions to be entered in a contest to win a $20.00 gift card for Amazon - open til 3/30. Winner will be drawn 4/1. Be sure to check back to see if you won. The winner of the $20 gift card must have the maximum points. This grand prize winner will also win copies of all three of my titles. This winner will have the choice of a PRINT copy of LINKED or an e-book copy. (Print title to arrive by end of April)

But there is more to win...just in case you miss one or two...

All correct answers will be entered by number to random.org and one winner will win a signed e-book version of LINKED and my other two titles, Forbidden & Once Bitten, and The Storm Within.

There is a new technology out there that lets authors sign their books and personalize them. I will be happy to do that if you'd like a signed book.

A second winner will receive TWO signed e-books of mine of their choice.

A third winner will receive any ONE signed copy of my titles, their choice.

Ready? Ok, here we go.

1. What book did I promote on the site?

2. What paranormal abilities did I want?

3. Who is my ideal reader? (The one that will like my work)

4. Who has been my biggest supporter?

5. Who did the cover for LINKED?

Now, for 3 extra points,be sure to follow my blog, follow me on Twitter, and 'like' my Facebook page. Links to all are on the side.

Bonus Question for 5 extra entries...

In my book LINKED, there is one character that is not active much in the story--but is absolutely paramount in solving the ancient prophecy. Who is she?

So, it's possible to get 13 points in this contest. All entries with correct answers will be entered. Number of points each earns will correspond with the number of correct answers.

If you've read my books, please be kind and leave a review on Amazon. Pass along books that you enjoy by letting readers know what you liked.

Thanks to KINDLE ROMANCE AUTHORS for having me

BONUS: You have to have read this far to know this: Tweet me with the phrase "@hopewelsh I want to win free books hopewelsh.blogspot.com" You can earn 5 extra points!

Goodnight Tweetheart CONTEST

Have you read Goodnight Tweetheart by Teresa Medeiros? Did you LOVE the book...but want more?

How would YOU end the story?

Teresa told me that a book should always leave the reader wanting more...are you one that she achieved her goal with? Did you want more?

Here's your chance! YOU write the Epilogue (no more than 3k words) and tell us how YOU would end the story.

The best ending--with the fewest mistakes--I hate typo type--will win their choice of ANY of my books: LINKED, THE STORM WITHIN or FORBIDDEN&ONCE BITTEN

Entries will close at 12am EST on 2/8. Winner(s) will be announced on 2/14. Please post your ending here or on your own blog--(giving credit to Ms. Medeiros for her wonderful characters)

Remember Paul Harvey and "The Rest of the Story".....

Goodnight Tweetheart is copyrighted material--anything you write IS FAN FICTION ONLY. Teresa is aware I'm holding this contest--and thinks it's a great idea, by the way.

LINKED on Amazon and Smashwords with 99 Cent Sale

My latest title, LINKED, is up now on Smashwords, and uploaded to Amazon. It will take Amazon a day or so to get a live link. It's a paranormal contemporary romance. Temporarily, it's priced at only 99 Cents!

Lana Summers is being hunted by an ancient evil.  Cole wants to help--but is he an asset or unwittingly helping the evil gain ultimate control?

I just love the cover. I'm going to add it to the blog for people to see.  My daughter designed it--and did an awesome job, I think!

If you read LINKED, please let me know if you think I give away too much in the Prologue, okay?

Happy Reading!
