Contest Time!

In conjunction with the Paranormal Theme Day going on at Joyfully Reviewed’s Chat Group, I’m holding a little blog contest today. All you have to do to enter is post a comment to this blog post. I’ll put all the names in a hat and pick one winner at random to receive a PDF copy of my book, Forever Valentine. Please let me know in your comment what you think of the paranormal genre in general. You could talk about your favorite kind of shifter or whether you think the genre is overdone or not done enough… whatever! I’m just really curious as to your opinion on all things paranormal today!

Here’s a little bit about the book you might win…

“Forever Valentine” by Bianca D’Arc

Read An Excerpt Online
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Red Hots!

Price: $3.50
Publication Date: January 16th, 2007
Cover art by Anne Cain

A Valentine’s date gone wrong marks the beginning of a love that will last for all time.

Jena knows about vampires, particularly about the one who watches her every step, lest she somehow reveal her knowledge to the mortal world. Ian Sinclair would be her executioner should she even try to share her knowledge, but she doesn’t fear him. No, Ian bothers her on an even more elemental level. He’s just too sexy for his own good—and hers.

Ian finds himself attracted to the all-too-mortal lady doctor, though he knows better. He’s been assigned to watch her, not seduce her, but seduction seems to be all he can think of when he looks at the gorgeous woman who works entirely too hard and has such sad eyes. He feels things he hasn’t felt in centuries when she’s around, including an unreasonable jealousy when he follows her on a Valentine’s date with one of her colleagues.

After the disastrous date, will they both be able to resist temptation when Jena invites the vampire in?

This is part of an ongoing series of related books. Sweeter Than Wine is part of the series, as is Lords of the Were. New stories in the series are in the process of being contracted right now — more information on that when it becomes available, so stay tuned!
