Welcome to the Holiday Gifts of Love blog hop sponsored by Carrie Ann Ryan Blog Hops !  It's a Happy Holiday from your favorite Authors and Bloggers.

So from Dec 14th to Dec 17th, all 200 or so of us will be blogging about the holidays and what they mean to us. We may talk about our favorite holiday traditions, recipes, gifts, reads, heroes, and so much more. We want to hear about what you do for the holidays, what you read, and who you'll spend it with. We hope to see you here and happy hopping! And while we do that, we are EACH doing a giveaway. Yep. There will be over 200 giveaways on each blog hosted by that Author or Blogger.

Since the 12/21/12 apocalypse is nigh, you might as well go out in style, right? And who knows, just maybe the Juicy Couture pink velour tracksuit will send you to an alternate universe, thereby giving you a way of escape from impending doom. A time-traveling Juicy suit?? What the heck? This might make a little sense if you've read Apocalypse Babes: The Complete Series . If you haven't, fie for shame! Six full length books available in a set for less than $5? Maybe such a deal is what's really bringing on the apocalypse. If you want to just take a peek at the story, the first book is free for a limited time. Speaking of limited, this is the last year the Juicy suit will be part of the Apocalypse Babes promotion. And you know how bad you want one of these! Check out last year's winner !  And while you're reading the series, imagine yourself in Seffy's shoes...er, her tracksuit. And trust me, you're going to need the soft, pink comfort of high end

Joan Reeves of Slingwords Blog linked me for a fun Internet meme called The Next Big Thing . Basically authors talk about what they're working on in the future. So here's what I'm up to at the moment... What is the working title of your next book? Kiss Me, I'm Yours .  It's the second book after Kiss Me, I'm Irish in the Tennessee Wal tz trilogy (former series title was Time For Love ). The third book will be Kiss Me, I'm Home .   Where did the idea come from for the book?     I want to showcase my state a little bit so thought it would be fun to throw in a little time travel and faeries because why not? :) Book one brings a heroine from the past to the future. Book two takes the heroine to the post-Civil War era. Book three will involve lateral time-travel :)   What genre does your book fall under? Paranormal time-travel romance Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

Author Shawn Kristen Maravel is releasing a new book and we get a sneak peek at the new cover! This one brings a new air of mystery and I can't wait to read it!! Evangeline has already lost everything once. She’s no stranger to reassembling the shambles of her life and trying to make peace with the outcome of the greatest tragedy that she’s ever had to face. But when a life of selling antiques in the Lower East Side proves to be less than enough to maintain her meager lifestyle, she turns to the pages of her thriller novels for distraction. When a mysterious new tenant moves into the apartment above hers, she indulges her desire for danger and adventure by trying to figure out exactly who the stranger in 6C is. In time, the intrigue about a neighbor she has yet to actually see, isn’t enough to keep her distracted from the threat of having to close down her shop and start from scratch for the second time. Just as she tries to refocus her attention to breathing life b

What do you love most about Autumn? The turning leaves? Brisk chill in the air? The shift toward the holiday season? One of my favorite things about fall is that it's no longer hot and humid. Living in the South means a whole lotta sweating! Finally when the temps cool and the wind picks up, I can stop hiding out in my air-conditioned house. LOL Seriously, people, it's hot in Tennessee. But even hotter, are the heroic cuties who populate the pages of romance novels! What is your favorite thing about Autumn? What are your favorite Autumn stories? Well, we authors are ready to share our favorite Autumn stories and why we love snuggling in the cold.  *wink*  Starting today and ending on Nov 12th, over 200  Authors and Bloggers sponsored by Carrie Ann Ryan blog hops are sharing their favorite things about those sexy men we know and love.
