Last week to play FREE Secret Santa and even win gifts for yourself! #AmReading #Giveaway

How many of your friends will you win a gift for, and what will you win?

Every year, I try to do something special for my readers, but attempting to get the biggest and bestest gift doesn't always work well, since that leaves so many other readers without gifts.

So, this year, I wanted to do more. I decided to give away ONE HUNDRED gifts. And, ALL gifts will be awarded before Monday, December 22, so you and/or your friends will receive by Christmas.

Grand Prize ~ $50 Amazon Gift Card

Runner-up Prizes

Southern Romantic-Suspense Paperback Collection

Creatus Series Paperback Collection

She Belongs to Me Audio Book

And Ninety-Five eBooks!!!

So, here's how it works...

Absolutely NO Purchase is required. All you have to do to unlock the grand prize and the rest of the 99 gifts is to sign up for my newsletter. Many of you are already signed up, so just post your email into the entry, which automatically registers you for the grand prize or the runner-ups.

I know many of you have already read my books, so, I decided to help you play Secret Santa. Of course, if there is one of my books you haven't read, you can ask that the gift be sent to you. Plain and simple, I made a list of my books, and all you have to do is tell me where you want me to send it. Note: even though there are two on sale this week, when your friends receive them on Christmas Morning, they will be back to their regular price of $4.99!

Not sure which of my books you'd like, simply visit my Amazon Author Page.

By the way...if you want to guarantee you or a friend gets an eBook for Christmas, The Library (Where Life Checks Out) is on sale for $0.99 today. Download for yourself or gift to a friend. And, Amazon will allow you to send it Christmas morning!

Sorry, due to Amazon's strict gifting of eBooks, I have to restrict gifts to the US. Of course, I always have a couple free books on all sites, so you don't even have to play to win. Simply click one of my author pages below, and download your free book! If you have questions, please feel free to leave them in the comment section, and I promise you I will answer.

"As in any fairytale, everything good must come to an end." ENTANGLED DREAMS:

Now, if you’ve read any of my novels or excerpts, you know I don’t do happy-go-lucky beginnings; and as in any fairytale, a little rain must fall, or in the case of my stories, I prefer a monsoon. This week’s excerpt: But alas, as in any good fairytale, everything good and wonderful must come to an end. After the tragic accident that snatched her mother away from Alexandra, her father moved them away from the beaches of Destin to another beach in Florida. Cocoa Beach. Cocoa Beach was loud, the water murky, and there were no weekend adventures as there had been in Destin. Her father married her evil stepmother, Lilith, who Alexandra was certain was a witch with her long, black as midnight hair and pale-white skin as if she’d never seen sunlight. Her father had admitted he wasn’t in love with Cruella, as she had come to think of the witchy woman, but that he’d wanted Alexandra to have a mother and siblings. Well, she definitely got that. The k

To prologue or not to prologue, that is the question. Readers, please weigh in!

Personally, I love prologues. They get you right into the action whether it was in the past or something exciting that is to come. But that’s exactly why most agents’ blogs I’ve read say not to use them. Paraphrasing…“If you need a prologue, then your story must not be strong enough…” Hmm … well, I like them, and I use them. But I’m curious what readers think, and I’d love you to weigh in. AND, if you have some great examples, please leave the title in the comment section. Now … here’s what I’ve noticed. Plenty of bestselling books have used them, even though they aren’t always called prologues . Same diff in my opinion. My biggest example is ‘Twilight’. If that little blurb wasn’t in the beginning, I don’t think I would have made it through the first chapter. How about movies? I don’t watch a lot. But I’ve started to notice how many have “prologues”. I also don’t have cable, but I have NetFlix, and hubby has just started watching ‘Breaking Bad’. Okay … I

The rule of thirds: No matter what you do, someone will hate you. Get over it and Write On!

No matter what you do in life, a third of the people will love you, a third will hate you, and the rest will be indifferent. Get over it and Write On! Yes, I'm talking to myself. If you're listening, GREAT! It's good advice! Is it easy advice? Heck No! For some reason, even though that percentage is rather low on my books--the percentage of people who hate my books runs about 4.6%--it still hurts. Note: I only averaged the 'firsts' in my books, the books I actively promote. Because if I go to the second, third, and fourth books in my series, those numbers drop drastically. Obviously, if readers don't like my first book, they don't go on to the rest of my books in a series, so those books receive little to zero one-star reviews. So...if the number of one-star reviews we receive is less than five percent--Thank God ALL of the 33 1/3% of the haters don't write reviews--why do we get so depressed when we receive a one-star review
