Reader Appreciation Day: Cold Hands Giveaway

Hi guys :)

I'm taking part in the Reader Appreciation Day today. My price is an e-copy of Cold Hands (Hot Hands can be downloaded for free on ARe and Smashwords), but there are 20 other books to be won. What you'll need to do is have a yahoo account and leave a comment and email here: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/TheSweetSpotMM/conversations/topics (I'll update with a direct link to the post once it's up - I'm about five hours ahead of USA >.<

Here's the blurb of Cold Hands:

“Hot-Hands” and Casper have been dating for a month, but their relationship is about as smooth as shattered glass. It doesn't help that Hot-Hands is racked with guilt over his high school bullying of Casper, or that Casper darts away whenever his boyfriend gets a little too frisky.

Desperate to hang onto Casper, Hot-Hands tries to earn back the trust he destroyed years ago, so they can face their disastrous past and have a chance at a happy future.

Cold Hands focuses on high school bullying for being gay. This is the sequel to Hot Hands and contains big spoilers if read first.

A Life Without You Giveaway

Hi guys. 

Yes, I've been MIA. Illness (my own and chicken pox for the boys). I probably won't be back in full action until the new year. 

However, I have a giveaway for you today. Actually, it ends just before midnight on December 18th. Just head on over to The Novel Approach and leave a comment there (not here, although you're always welcome to comment here!) along with a way for me to reach you. The price? Well, since this is a backlist bump, I'm giving away an e-copy of A Life Without You :)

Erica's Black Friday

All of my College Fun and Gays books will be available at 40% discount at All Romance eBooks - the anthologies as well. The sale will start today and end tomorrow. Grab whatever you can while you can!

Eric's Birthday Party

Hi guys :)

I'm taking part in Amber Kell's birthday month and my task was to pick a character from one of my books and describe what their birthday party would be like. There's no giveaway, but if you like these guys you may want to read about Eric's birthday :) I also believe that Amber is hosting a personal giveaway and you can get your name in the hat by replying.

This info is from Amber's blog:

This year we will be having the usual:

Visits by Author Friends: some of your favorite authors (besides me) and ones you might not have heard of are stopping by to share a bit about themselves and their releases.

Gift Card Giveaways: Leave a comment each day to be entered to win a $10.00 gift card (a winner will be picked daily). Each entry will also be entered into a weekly kindle giveaway.

Blog story: I will have a new story this month (I might even finish it LOL).

New This Year!

Month of Giving: Fans who donate a minimum of $5.00 in the Month of November to their favorite charity will get a coupon code for one free book at amberkellbooks.com, good for up to a year.

That’s right, give to your favorite charity in the Month of November and get a book. You will only need to send us the receipt or even a confirmation email to amberkellbooks@gmail.com from the charity saying thanks for the donation will suffice.

On top of that, I will match the charitable donations to the top five charities up to $1000.00 total, so it’s up to you to make sure I have to spend it!  If you donate to more than one charity only send me the info on your favorite. Only one free book per person. Also, if you don’t want a coupon code I will also be keeping a spreadsheet with everyone’s name and email for the charity thing to track amounts and I can just send you a free book when one comes up that you’d like.

Anyway, happy birthday, Amber ^.^

GayRomLit 2013 SWAG!

Hi guys :)

I've been preparing for GayRomLit 2013 and the massive SWAG I'm bringing. You'd think I'd had months to do this but somehow I've left a lot of it to the last minute.

Curious about my SWAG? This is what I have from last year, minus the colorful one with the old covers:

Here's what I'm bringing on top of that (I don't have them in my hands yet, so I'm just posting the SWAG art:

Then I have individual postcards of all the Boston Boys novels and the College Fun and Gays short stories:

I have Icelandic candy again, only different this time.

Finally, I'm bringing about 50 paperback copies of Hot Hands to give away:

Yup. I figured it would be awesome SWAG and they're not that expensive to print in comparison to other things. For those who can't make it but want one, it's $3.99 on CreateSpace and Amazon. I have a copy in my hands and it's a cute little book of 32 pages of the story + some extra pages. I'm so pleased with it. I will probably make the other College Fun and Gays books available in print as well (in fact, I'm bringing a few copies of one as special prizes), but it'll take time. If people don't want them in individual copies, they can also be bought as a bundle.
