I’m certainly between Days and between birds–Liz Crowe’s Blog Hop stops at the Journal today and Save a Turkey: Gobble a Book starts today. What else can I do but encourage to all to hop through both blogs–double your pleasure, double your fun–and prizes!
Today is my day to post on the In-Bewteen Days Blog Tour. And I’m so excited to tell you about my books, especially my newest release, All Wrapped Up: A Collection of Christmas 
Love Stories, and my soon to be released (two weeks and counting) Almost Perfect from Decadent Publishing.
The Christmas Collection contains four short stories all revolving around Christmas traditions and love–with both contemporary and historical settings.
Almost Perfect sets two people who hate each other down on a beautiful deserted island alone–haven’t I heard this plot before? That’s what the heroine, Pam, would ask. And she should know, she’s the movie buff! In fact, she uses those movies as her survival blueprint! With a few twists and turns along the way, however, Almost
Perfect becomes the perfect vehicle for romance.
Blurb for Almost Perfect:
Pamela Kimball’s birthday present, a 1Night Stand adventure, promises to jump-start her life, put a new man in her bed, and help her forget her past. Unfortunately, movie-buff Pam’s Pirates of the Caribbean fantasy takes an alarming wrong turn when she’s abandoned on a not quite deserted island—with ex-husband Roger Ware.
Forced by hunger to accept Roger’s offer of dinner, Pam realizes the geek she married has transformed into one of the most charming, sexiest men she’s ever met. His newfound confidence—and hot body—re-kindles old fires. A simple kiss leads Roger to challenge her to discover how much his lovemaking skills have improved, leaving Pam torn between self-preservation and burning desire.
With time running out before they’re rescued, Pam must decide if her heart can survive the consequences of becoming Roger’s “almost” perfect one-night stand.
Excerpt for Almost Perfect:
She inched into the lapping surf, searching for movement. Reflection off the water made this task harder than expected. Wasn’t the Caribbean supposed to be teeming with fish? Now that’s something she’d had a lot of instruction in. Almost every marooned-on-an-island movie had a scene where the heroine learned to catch fish. Six Days, Father Goose, Blue Lagoon. All you needed was your hands and patience. She could do this.
Pam waded out further then stopped just before the water hit her now dry shorts. “Not gonna to have a damp crotch all night.” The words reminded her of exactly what she had hoped for tonight. “But not from wet shorts!” She headed back to shore to remove and drape them next to her shirt. The bandeau was a different story. Still damp, even after several hours, and uncomfortable. Might dry better if not next to her skin anyway. “Screw it! Live dangerously.”
Standing as good as naked on the deserted beach, Pam smiled as the warm breeze caressed her bare body. The sense of being slightly naughty added to her delight in the sensual feel of the air as it dried her breasts. Her nipples peaked as the wind cooled them. She strutted down to the water’s edge to sink her toes in the sand, the salty tang in the air adding to the perfect moment.
“If you’re skinny dipping, you forgot to remove one very important piece of clothing.”
Pam whirled around. Roger stood on the beach behind her, a green bottle of Perrier in one hand. His gaze played up and down her naked torso and his salacious grin widened. “Mind if I join you?”
Blurb for All Wrapped Up:
Four short stories filled with romance at Christmas time.
The Present
A girl has to break the news to her sister’s boyfriend that he’s being dumped–on Christmas Eve– she finds herself a pawn for the boyfriend’s revenge.
Sing A Christmas Carol
A singing group’s decision to drop one member before the big carolling competition leads to an awkward situation.
The Kissing Tree
Two children discover a secret place on Christmas Day–with far-reaching effects.
‘Tis the Season
A Christmas dinner announcement shatters a young girl’s dream of a magical social season until a knight in shining armour proposes an alternate plan.
Like eating romance M&Ms.
Blurb for Heart of Deception:
Celinda Graham—young, naïve, passionate—is head-over-heels in love with Andrew Finley, Viscount Hurston and insists on marrying him. Unfortunately, Andrew’s family has been feuding with Celinda’s for generations. When her father refuses to allow the marriage, Andrew proposes a scandalous way to get his approval. But Andrew has a secret that may spell disaster to his plans if Celinda finds out he is not what he seems.
Blurb for Hog Wild:
When Lula Wolfendale’s motorcycle breaks down on her way to a Harley rally, she detours into tiny Shoshone, CA to find a new ride. Seducing bikers Beau and Rob Hogue and commandeering their Harleys is easy; finding sexual satisfaction is a “hog” of a different color. A Blue Phantom, to be exact, owned by the pair’s older brother, Jesse. After brief, unsatisfying encounters with the first two Hogues, Lula approaches Jesse with a proposition: a sexual contest for his Phantom, where Lula will emerge with either a bike to die for or the climax of her dreams. Or can she possibly obtain both?

I love Thanksgiving as a holiday because it is almost non-commercial and strictly about reflection of what we have to be thankful for and being with our family and friends. Traditionally, we watch the parade, watch the football game, enjoy the big family gathering at the grandparents, and a smaller gather later with friends.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.

For your double duty blog post, here is a double duty blog comment.
The common requirement of following your blog is met.
In-Between Days: Since this is a fantasy, I’m going to assume that travel time is not an issue & say I want to go to Australia. I’ve never been & unless I win an obscene amount of money somehow, I doubt I will ever get there any other way.
Save A Turkey: Have liked you on facebook & my favorite thanksgiving tradition is spending the day with my family, eating way too much wonderful food & then laying around the living room of whoever hosted that year, doing our beached whale impressions, while the older generations tell us stories about what they did when they were kids.
Thanks for the opportunity to win such fantastic prizes.

Hi Jenna,
WOW 2 hops. I’m impressed! My fantasy destination is Megan’s Bay Beach on the island of St. Thomas. My aunt and cousins live there and when I was younger I got to go there. I was too young to enjoy the adult things to do there, but had a blast learning to surf as a teenager.
My family’s Holiday tradition is to come to my house for dinner. It used to be my grandmothers house til she passed. It then was my mom, (who has also passed). Now it’s my turn. I make a family dish that has been passed down thru the generations as far back as my great great grandmother. Everyone brings their appetite and we all stuff ourselves silly. Then we either watch a movie or play a game. Sometimes we do both. LOL
I’m an old follower (Nay Nay) and a friend on FB.
Thank you for the chance to win. I have Heart of Deception and Hog Wild already, so I’m looking forward to the chance to win All Wrapped Up and Almost Perfect. (I’m optimistic that I will win. he he)

For the thanksgiving tradition, my favorite is always cooking with my daughters for two days and drinking cocktails with them while we joke around. The feast we cook is always delicious with both turkey and ham, dressing of course and turkey gravy. But our favorites are sweet potatoe cassarole and country style greenbeans.
