SAPPHIRE UNIVERSE BLOG TOUR

Giveaway!!! Help me spread the word!!

As most of you know, I have re-released Sapphire Universe into the world with a new cover, a new format, and new editing. To celebrate, I have a couple things going on. First I will be having a giveaway on amazon where Sapphire Universe will be free for 48 hours starting on the 15th. Thats TOMORROW people!!! So run down and get your copy.

Also, the amazing Natalie Catalano from Love Between the Sheets Book Blog, is organizing Sapphire Universe's blog tour, scheduled for June 24th-June 29th. Tons of stops and lots of new stuff ahead for that so keep your eyes and ears open for updates.

Since my superhero hubby found my USB containing the majority of Dark Universe I have been working my tail off to get this book finished and ready for editing so that I can have Lola and Drake's story to you by the end of July!!! This one is a tad steamier than SU, because well, you know how Lola is ;) so be prepared for that.

On that note I will leave you with some teasers for both Sapphire Universe and Dark Universe. Have a great tuesday!!

Dark Universe Chapter 5 teaser- First Date

When your entire life is designated to be atonement for something you didn’t do, someone else’s second chance, things like happiness are hard to come by.  For the last three years I’ve been pressured into making up for Nathan’s mistakes.  It’s obvious my parents, my mom especially, feel as though if I live the perfect life, behave like the perfect daughter, it will somehow erase all the fault that they carry my brother.  What they never managed to grasp is that I’m not perfect.  Nor do I want to be.  For once, I would like to just be.  Just live.  And live only for me.

“I can hear the wool gathering in that thick skull of yours.”  Drake’s deep rumble pulls me out of my own head and I smile up at him.  “What were ya thinking about?” 

I frown and rub my eyes to clear the alcohol induced fog that’s now taking root in front of my vision.  “Nothing important, just family bull shit.” 

“What kind of problems could your family have?  Your parents seem great, and you certainly don’t need for anything with that big fancy apartment and riding club to keep you occupied.” 

His dismissive snort sends my hackles up and my claws out.  You don’t anything about me!  “You’re right.  I have a big apartment, a big barn, a great job, wonderful parents and a best friend who I love more than anything.  Wonderful parents who gave me that big apartment and big barn and great job with the understanding that I would be the perfect daughter who is conveniently under their thumb.  Wonderful parents who love their little Lola Scarlet who is beautiful and charming and will one day marry the son they never had.  A son they can be proud of.  And a broken best friend I didn’t protect and who I couldn’t fix.”  I glare at Drake and spin towards the bar and practically slam my hand through the wooden top in my demand for a beer.

I feel him before I see him.  He stands behind me, a daunting physical presence at my back for at least five minutes before he speaks.  “I’ve always hated people who judge other people.”  Well, that’s not at all what I expected.  I take a swig of my beer and wait for him to continue.  “You can know everything there is to know about someone’s life, who their parents are, what they do for a living, how much money they have, the friends they hang out with, and never really know anything.  People who seem simple on the surface, are usually the most complex.”

I do turn then, and Drake is standing behind me with his arms crossed, his hat down low and his mouth clamped in a straight line.  Every aspect of his physical being is closed off, guarded.  But the words he just spoke and the look in his eyes are wide open.  In those three sentences I learned a lot about Drake Thomas.  “Wanna get out of here?”  I say in response and he smiles. 

Readers, Bloggers, Friends!

Thank you everyone who is helping me out with this giveaway!! Your shares rock my socks off!!

On another note I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to read Sapphire Universe. Without my readers I wouldn't be anywhere. With the new wave of self-publishing and ebooks, Indie authors now have all the same possiblities as Traditional authors, but have one major hurdle to overcome; ...Getting people to buy and read a book from an unknown name. So, with that being said I have one favor to ask. If you have read Sapphire Universe then please take a couple minutes to write an honest review on the site you purchased it from. Reviews are an author's bread and butter and a great way to show your support for all the great Indies out there.

You all rock my socks off!!
Much ♥
