Are you ready for St. Patrick’s day this Sunday?
I know it’s not the most romantic of holidays. The only real tradition I have is drinking an Irish Car Bomb or two. That goes back to my college days. Last year the weather here in Minnesota was ridiculously HOT, and I spent St. Patrick’s day at the local beach flying kites. The year before that, I was working the Spring Break craze at a tourist shop in Colorado. This year, will probably be a quiet day at home, catching up on some DVD’s from Netflix or some books in my to read pile.

So I decided that when I got to 275 twitter followers I would do another giveaway. I wanted to do something different this time.
Well summer is about to start, so why not kick off summer with a giveaway! Super simple and fun, right?
So below you will find a rafflecopter, I’ve never used it before so I figured let’s give it a try this time.
I’ll be giving away ONE Digital Copy of Hello Again and ONE Digital Copy of Secret Fantasy. That means TWO winners.
If you’ve recently started to follow me then you now know one of my great loves, soap operas. Everyday you can find me live tweeting General Hospital. In the summer however, I get sucked into the reality show Big Brother. I started watching during the second season and have been addicted ever since. I’ll probably be live tweeting my reaction during live shows, maybe the live feeds, we’ll see how things go.
My new book Stranger in my Bed, which will be released in late June takes place during the summer months in Durango, CO. It’s the second book in the Hello Again series, and picked up where we left off with David and Lexie, along with all the others. If you’ve never had the chance to experience Durango in the summer, its amazing.
The town comes alive and is full of energy like nothing else I’ve experienced. The locals are out and about having fun, the tourists are exploring the historic downtown, riding the train, rafting and enjoying the sunshine.
I’ll post more about SimB next week though.
So now, here is your chance to enter to win one of my books.
Only two are mandatory, the rest are extra entries if you want.
Have fun, layer on the sunscreen and enjoy it while it lasts because summer will be over before we realize it.

Here’s a rundown of Secret Fantasy:
Britney O’Leary and her best friend Jason Evans spend Graduation night together not knowing at the time but that one night will forever connect them.
Here’s a scene from Secret Fantasy
Britney was shocked as she watched Connie and Alec kissing, it was obvious it wasn’t the first time and it probably wouldn’t be the last time. She could still feel the bit of beer she’d spilled on her feet when she dropped her cup. She immediately went back into the party, hoping to find Jason, find out if he knew.
“Britney!” He called out over the Monica and Brandy song.
She turned to him, she didn’t say anything, figuring she had nothing to lose, well she had one thing to loose and she had a plan for tonight, and she was going through with it.
Jason stared at her, “What’s wrong? You look confused.”
“I was, but I’m not anymore.” She pulled his face towards her and kissed him. “I want you.”
“You’ve got me. I’m your best friend.” Jason took her hand, leading her out into the fresh air. “What’s gotten into you?”
She didn’t say anything at first as she listened to the music, the faint sounds of insects, “Alec and Connie are having sex.”
“So you decided to hit on me?”
“Not exactly.” She turned to look at him, the way the porch light glowed around him, “How come you never hit on me?”
Jason hadn’t been ready for this, though he never thought it would matter. “We’re going in different directions. You’ll still be here; I’ll be in New York. It wouldn’t work. The heartbreak it would lead to would be outweigh the short good time.”
“Oh, well then I leave you with one tidbit of information.” She got close to his body, pressing hers against his, “We will forever be intertwined Mr. Evans, you and me”
“You’re right, we will be” He looked into her green eyes, wishing he could believe what he was saying.
“Kiss me” She sounded confident, but she was nothing but nerves.
Jason held her for a moment, before he pulled away, “I’m sorry. I can’t.”
Britney nodded, “Goodbye Jason.”
“Britney!” Jason called out as she walked down the porch steps into the dark night.
