It's a busy Friday here today and in blog land!
I'm finishing up my Polar Night blog tour and want to say thanks again to the wonderful ladies who allowed me to be part of their blogs during the past week. Thank you to Cathrina, Cecilia, Lisa, Cherie, Mary, and LG!
And I have two more names to add to that list today, as I am visiting Misha Gericke's My First Book and also being interviewed by Frances Caballo, author of Social Media Just For Writers.
I'm excited to be finishing up my tour with such great hosts, and I'm sending a huge thank you to Misha and Frances!
Thanks also to everyone who has stopped by here and visited me at my tour stops. I really appreciate all the amazing support I've received for Polar Night! You guys are all the greatest, but then I knew that already. :D
In other news, today is a big day for Cecilia Robert as she is revealing the cover for her upcoming romance A Need So Insatiable. Congratulations, Cecilia!!
Here is the gorgeous cover and the scoop on the book:
Book blurb
“I’ve never bowed or kneeled for anyone,” Rafael said. “Never thought I would.” Then he was on his knees. He slid his arms around my waist, tugging me closer and bowed his head.
“You own me, Sophie.” He looked up, his dark eyes hitting me with enough force to snatch the breath from my lungs. “You’ve owned me from the moment I walked into your life in that music room. Then I saw you slipping out the window like the wolves were after you and I knew I wanted you in my life. You’ve wrapped yourself in my heart and mind. I can’t get you out. I don’t want to.”
Graduate opera singer, Sophie Fisher’s life is on fire and it’s not her breathtaking voice lighting it, but the trail of debts her father left behind after he passed away a few months ago. If she’s not ducking around corners or slipping out of windows to escape the debt collectors and a slew of characters sent from hell, she’s dealing with her rebellious fifteen-year-old sister, Lilli, who is still coming to terms with their father’s death. And as if that’s not enough, Rafael Van Rees bursts into her life—literally—bringing with him a set of emotions she isn’t prepared to deal with and a life the public had no idea of.
Rafael Van Rees, Maestro extraordinaire, just wants to be left in peace to date whichever woman he feels like, have dinner with whomever he feels like, and just enjoy his life. Until he meets Sophie and his past returns to haunt him. And just when he thought he didn’t care about her, his history proves him wrong. He knows when it comes to her, it’s all or nothing. Besides, she makes him feel fuzzy all over.
Is Sophie’s fire hot enough to melt the ice coursing through his veins?

Cecilia is also holding a great giveaway to help celebrate the cover reveal. Visit her here to enter and find out all the details!
Finally, another Friday means it's time for another Celebration of the Small Things with Vikki at Scribblings of an Aspiring Author.
Obviously the biggest thing I'm celebrating today is wrapping up my first blog tour, but I am also thrilled because I got my tax returns finished this week and it's a huge relief to have that over and done for the year. To make it better, I didn't owe any additional taxes and will even get a little bit of money back. So that called for a double celebration. :)
What are you celebrating this week?
Congratulations again to Cecilia, and best wishes to her for another successful book. My own giveaway ends tomorrow, 2/16, so sign up here if you want to be entered into the drawing.
Happy weekend, all! :)
Glad your tour has been a success! And money back is better than owing, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your book tour and getting your taxes done! Oh--and I've nominated you for a little award on my blog.
ReplyDeleteSee what you get for visiting?
