Several different things:

Hey, go check out the Winter Warmers Giveaway Hop stop at Harper Kingsley's blog.

Pick a title off the backlist and mention it in the comments for a chance to win an ebook copy. Follow the rest of the hop and check out everyone else's stops. This thing runs from December 12-16th, 2013.

Includes an excerpt of Once When I Was Young, a f/f/m romance story. It's an attempt at first person perspective. Basically this woman had a kind of sucky first romance with a girl that dumped her for someone else, and ever since then she's been a little bitter and burned and made a vow to never love again. Except there's this awesome friend that enters into her life and she finds herself once again welcoming the idea of romance into her life.

There's tons of other stops on the hop and people are giving away all kinds of stuff. It's basically this big celebration of romance books and romance stuff -- no kids allowed, so no YA books, though NA are a-okay.

Here's an excerpt of that vampire romance thing:

EXCERPT: Harsh Buzz [mm, vampire, romance]

Title: Harsh Buzz
Author: Harper Kingsley
Genre: mm, supernatural, urban fantasy
Summary: Marmalee has been named Prince-Elect. Guests from all over have come to enjoy his coronation ceremony, including the devastatingly attractive Rogue, Ward, and a bunch of assassins with bullets and machetes.

Ward has been wooing a human woman. More for the entertainment factor than anything like love. He immediately drops her on meeting Marmalee.

"There's just some essential shift in want and need when you meet the right person. I'm sorry, Eva. In another time and another place we could have been something magical. But I've seen my future, and he's going to be my everything."

"And does he know it?" she asked, only a little bitter.

Ward shrugged. "I know it, and for now that's enough. I will woo him and win him and he will see that I am everything that he will ever desire."

Even though she was still giving him that shocked looked, there was also a spark of humor in the twist of her lips. "So, you're going to pitch some woo, huh? In typical creepy stalkerish vampire fashion?"( Read more... )

EXCERPT: Leviathan [mm, fantasy]

Title: Leviathan
Author: Linnea Kingsley
Genre: fantasy
Summary: Taeyon is traveling and finds himself entering a strange underwater world with an odd companion.

Taeyon had been traveling for what felt like days when he found the beautiful glade, the grass lush and green, inviting him to stop. He dropped his pack next to a large tree with overhanging branches ornamented with lacy white puffs and wandered around the area. He breathed deeply, drawing in the scent of flowers and the ripe purple berries on the overgrown bushes framing the glade. And there in the center of it all a peaceful spring bubbled up from the depths of the earth, smelling of mountain and sky, the water caught in the rough bowl shape of smoothed rocks.( Read more... )
