*****THANK YOU so much to everone who helped me to spread the word about HOWL FOR IT! All of your tweets, shares, blog posts–THANK YOU!! I appreciate your help so much.  I’m going to review back through all the entries in the contest and make sure I give everyone credit for all the individual shares–then I’ll random select the winners once I have all of that material organized.  Again, thank you!!!*****

Update:  On Twitter, elaing8 asked me if tweets/posts on different days would count as different entries in my Spread the Word contest–I thought that was a great question. 😉  So here is the answer…different days will definitely count as different (additional) entries. So just let me know where you chat/tweet/post in the comments and those will count as additional entries.  Thank you!

I am so excited about the release of HOWL FOR IT–and I very much hope that readers are enjoying the anthology!  (And that you are excited about it, too!) HOWL FOR IT released on Tuesday, and as we gear up for the upcoming Labor Day weekend, I would love to spread the word about this new release. Will you help me? (There are prizes involved!)

Every time that you spread the word about HOWL FOR IT, you will be entered in a contest for the following prizes:

$100 Amazon. com (or Barnes & Noble) gift card (It will be the winner’s choice.)

$50 Amazon.com (or Barnes & Noble) gift card

$25 Amazon.com (or Barnes & Noble) gift card

Now, how do you spread the word? Well…

You can share my HOWL FOR IT widget. If you’ve got a blog or a Twitter account, you can easily get the embed code from above and share my widget. (Please just click the “Get Widget” tab to get the code that you will need to use.)  If you post the widget, leave me a comment telling me where it has been posted so that you will be entered in the contest.

You can also pin my HOWL FOR IT cover if you’re on Pinterest. You can share my HOWL FOR IT cover on Facebook. You can chat about HOWL FOR IT on Facebook.  All of these count as ways to share–and every time you share, that’s another entry into the contest.  So just tell me how/where you’ve shared in the comments section, and you are entered!

And here’s a still cover image of HOWL FOR IT, in case you want to use that in the sharing fun.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU to all who would like to help me spread the word!!! Your help is appreciated more than I can say!!!

(The sharing contest will remain open until midnight on Saturday, September 1.)

All of the prizes from my HOWL FOR IT party have now been awarded (winners have been emailed and their names are also at the top of each giveaway post). Congratulations to all of the winners!

And if you didn’t win…please stay tuned! Late tonight (or early tomorrow, depending on this darn weather!), I will be posting another big giveaway. The prizes aren’t done yet!

Thank you so much to everyone who came to my prize party!  All of the giveaways are now closed (they ended at noon Central time). I am now going back through and getting all of the entries organized. I’m also checking in my spam folder to make sure that all comments have a chance to be entered.  As soon as the winners are selected, I will email those individuals, and I will also come back and post the winner’s name at the top of each giveaway entry.

Thank you, again, and have a great day!

And the winner of the Kindle (or equivalent gift card) is…JessS. Congrats!

Thank you all so much for coming to my HOWL FOR IT party! I’ve had a great time reading all of the comments (and I’ll keep reading them as they come in–the giveaways will remain open until noon tomorrow).  I really appreciate you all taking time out of your day to come by and help me to celebrate the anthology’s release.

I’ve already received so many nice emails about the anthology–and I am so glad that readers are enjoying the stories! Thank you!!! I love writing paranormal tales, and being in an anthology with Shelly–well, that is always a pleasure because I am such a fan of her work.

For the last party prize, I’m going to offer a Winner’s Choice deal. You can either win this Kindle or I can send you an Amazon.com gift card that will the the equivalent of the Kindle (and you can use the gift card on anything you want).

I am currently spending the day inside my house–Isaac has sent showers (and fluctuating power!) my way.  So, let’s incorporate a bit of Isaac in this giveaway…tell me, how do you like to spend rainy days?  The winner will be selected randomly.

(And for all of those in Isaac’s path–stay safe!)

If you haven’t entered the other giveaways yet, please go back and check out all of the posts. All contests will remain open until noon, Central time, tomorrow.  Winners for all giveaways will be randomly selected (so sorry to sound like a broken record with that info!).

Thank you, again, for coming to my party.  Have a great night!

Update: The winner of the $20 Amazon.com gift card is…Limecello! Congrats!

I have long been curious about this…if you had to choose between a sexy, charming vampire or a wild, untamed werewolf shifter…which guy would you chose? The vamp? Or the beast?

Let’s take a little poll and find out.

(Yes, since my Gage from HOWL FOR IT is a werewolf, I think we know which side he’d like for you to pick. But vampires need love, too, right?)

When I watch TRUE BLOOD, I’m often torn…Eric or Alcide? I’ll confess that, this season, I was more Team Eric.

But what about you? Let’s settle this epic debate and find out: werewolves or vampires?

One commenter/voter will be randomly selected to win a $20 Amazon.com gift card. (Contest will remain open until noon tomorrow.) 

My vote goes to…the werewolves.
