First of all, if you're waiting on prize announcements for some of my recent blog hops and contests, they'll be coming within the next few days, along with the winner of THIS blog hop, promise! I've been behind lately but I'm donning my green Supergirl cape and taking care of bizness this weekend!
Now for the hop, put together by the incredible Carrie Ann Ryan!
We're having a Blog Hop to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and wearing green! Over 120 authors are going to be telling anything they can about being Irish, celebrating the day, wearing green, drinking green beer... pretty much anything!
For me, St. Patrick's Day means a couple things. Watching our local hometown parade on TV (one of the best in the nation!) and also going shopping. What? I know, that sounds weird, but since I was a child, a local furniture shop would drape the store in green and do it up Irish style for the month of March. And...I have a hardcore furniture fetish. Yep, I said it. So every year, I have to go check out their big sale and drink their free Irish coffee (just about the only alcohol I drink all year) and dream over the furniture I want. I know...lame, right? But it makes me happy and it's a fun tradition. Plus it helps me design rooms in my books!
Speaking of books...here's the cover of my latest release HEART SIGNS. Which isn't Irish-related, but does have a big, sexy, bald hero. ;)
Just in case you want to check it out (it's hot and emotional and hopefully fun here and there too) here's the Ellora's Cave buy link. Click HERE.
Oh yeah, now what was I saying? Back to the hop! Each author will be giving away a prize. Like a swag pack, gift cards, ebooks, print books, and so much more.
So what's MY prize? A backlist book (winner's choice!) to one winner and an ebook copy of my NEXT release, VIRGIN TERRITORY - as soon as it becomes available - to a second winner.
What do you have to do to win? It's EASY! Just become a follower of the blog and leave a comment telling me if you plan to get frisky or have fun on St. Patrick's Day. That's it!
PLUS We have TWO Grand Prizes for TWO different winners!
Grand Prize 1: Winner's Choice of a Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet
Grand Prize 2: Winner's Choice of a $90 Amazon or Barnes&Noble Gift Card
Just visit the websites below on Friday March 16th and comment on as many as you want. The grand prize winners will be chosen at random from the commenters - meaning you can comment on EACH blog - meaning 120 entries to the grand prize.
Come on over and wear your green and win some prizes!

Hi,

ps: i don't see the list of the others participants
Have a great hop day! I plan to hang out with friends and do the evening up right!
I'm afraid I'm not doing anything exciting on Saturday. Ferrying my son to an all-day lacrosse clinic, then off to a hockey game, followed by a late dinner and a catch up on the DVR. I know, SUPER exciting, yes?

Hi Isabelle...the list is at the bottom of the post. I can see it, so hopefully others can too! If not, I think St. Patty's hijinks are at work, LOL. Have a very happy birthday!
*waves to Kaye and Jennifer* Happy St. Patrick's Day, ladies!
I plan to start doing my taxes. Exciting, huh? I also plan to make corned beef and cabbage.

There's really nothing fun to do here on St. Patty's day. I'll probably wear green and stay in reading and relaxing since I'm not feeling too good.

St. Patrick's Day is a National Holiday at my house. We get ready for the parade at 7 which starts at 10. Then we go to the in laws and eat, eat, eat. Play games with the kiddos and eat some more. Some members exchange gifts. Then it is off to the pub crawl. Fun times for everyone.
