Beach Reads Giveaway Hop July 14-18

You know, I'd been starting to worry that, once my WOLF'S BANE release tour wrapped up, I'd be at a loss for stuff to do. I guess I could get back to writing The Heartbeat Thief. I guess I could go back to constantly refreshing my inbox, waiting for the artwork to my upcoming para rom to arrive. I guess I could maybe even re-introduce myself to my husband and children.

I guessed wrong :) I've been doing multi-giveaways for weeks now. Can't quit cold turkey, now. That would be irresponsible and possibly disastrous. So...

One more blog hop before I go back to the real world, 'kay?

This one is simple... leave a comment and record your entry in the Rafflecopter. Winner gets a gift card so they can download a coveted beach read for their eReader!

Did you know that my urban fantasy BLEEDING HEARTS (Demimonde #1) was once compared to a beach read?

"... an emotionally gripping story that at times deceivingly reads like a light, airy beach read one second, only to surprise you with its depth the next."--GraveTells.com

See the full review (and the fancy-smancy graphic of the blog award BLEEDING HEARTS won) here if you need a new book for your trip to the beach!

I'd love to hear what you think... what is it about a book that makes it a great beach read? Think... comment... win. :) And happy reading!

Call for #Submissions: #Fantasy #Anthology, Roane Publishing

Hey, authors! I'm sharing a writing opportunity on behalf of my author friend, Terri Rochenski, who works with an indie press. They are looking for submissions based on a picture prompt--one so lovely it deserves an entire book of stories dedicated to it.

 

Roane Publishing, a small press for fantasy, romance, and erotica, issued an open call for submissions to its upcoming anthology PORTALS.

 

 

Submission Deadline: March 15, 2014
Some paths aren't meant to be tread.

Theme: This is a FANTASY anthology with a picture prompt. The picture prompt is shown above. Fantasy tales with romantic elements will be accepted, but the submitted stories DO NOT require a romantic element to be considered. 

The full submission requirements for this anthology are as follows:

• The picture prompt must be present in the story in some fashion. How, is up to you, the author.
• Stories must be at least 5K but should not exceed 10K in length.
• All sub-genres of Fantasy will be considered, including, but not limited to: Dystopian, Steampunk, Epic, Sword and Sorcery, and Urban Fantasy. 
• For this anthology, Science Fiction elements are completely acceptable.

Please email a brief query letter along with your completed and polished manuscript to submissions@roanepublishing.com and put the anthology name PORTALS in the SUBJECT LINE of your email.
