Nocturne Bites Debuts Today: Get 1 Free Nocturne Bite Today
Harlequin is the leader, in my opinion, in major publisher e-initiatives. They are the first to put out their entire front list in digital format every month. They allow readers to buy series books one month in advance of the book’s in store release dates which means if you went to e-harlequin right now, you could buy June Harlequin Presents. I just visited and there is a new Helen Brooks. Eee! I am so excited.
I know we’ve converted some of you readers into category readers, right?
In any event, in celebration of the release of Nocturne Bites which are ebook only original short stories, Harlequin has given me 5 coupon codes for a free download of Michele Hauf’s Racing the Moon. Another Nocturne Bite is the prequel to Gena Showalter’s new Underworld series (you know the one with the tattoo that keeps roaming around the covers that made me think it was a symptom of Underworld VD?).
Leave a comment and by 11:00 PM CST, I’ll pick five winners and email the codes to you.

I haven’t read a Harlequin in a long time. Now I’ll go take a look at this new line.
May 01, 2008 @ 11:19:20
Hey! Thanks for featuring the Nocturne Bites line today and my debut book. If readers aren’t sure about downloading the book (it’s only 89 cents!; how cool is that?) they can read the first chapter at my website. michelehauf.com
May 01, 2008 @ 11:27:38
I’d like to read one.
May 01, 2008 @ 11:34:25
OOOOh pick me!
May 01, 2008 @ 11:35:47
This is an awesome idea! I can’t wait to try them.
May 01, 2008 @ 11:40:20
OOO, I wouldn’t mind reading Gena Showalter’s prequel to her new series!
May 01, 2008 @ 11:45:26
I’m in! ;)
May 01, 2008 @ 12:12:57
Sounds very interesting. I’d love to check one out as I enjoy short stories. Gena’s prequel I might have to try, since I already bought the first LOTU full length.
And I had no idea of the advance releases, but I don’t usually pick this line of books up either. Maybe I’ve been missing out…
May 01, 2008 @ 12:51:02
OH yeah another contest. *fingers crossed, eyes crossed and toes crossed*
May 01, 2008 @ 12:58:01
I thought it was just me. So the tattoo really is moving and it’s not my imagination? (Of course, I noticed the tattoo because it’s so gosh darn sexy!)
May 01, 2008 @ 13:06:41
I’d love to win a coupon code!
May 01, 2008 @ 13:06:46
*biting*
Sorry, hit submit a bit too soon. Please count me in.
May 01, 2008 @ 13:27:26
Please add me to the contest. I’d like to try these.
May 01, 2008 @ 13:30:32
I’m also interested.
May 01, 2008 @ 13:43:45
Oh, intriguing!
I wish more publishers would follow Harlequin’s lead and put out more books, including all their new releases, in ebook format.
May 01, 2008 @ 13:56:11
Ok, for $0.89, I’ll buy it… but put me in the “pick me pick me” hat!
May 01, 2008 @ 14:01:50
More paranormal goodies to read. Oh boy! :)
May 01, 2008 @ 14:42:43
Count me in, too, please. Already have Gena’s, and want also to read Michele’s.
May 01, 2008 @ 14:46:23
I would like to go in the coupon hat, por favor. Am also willing to comment and/or review. Thanks!
May 01, 2008 @ 14:46:43
I just heard about Nocturne Bites yesterday. I had no idea a new line was coming out especially for ebooks.
May 01, 2008 @ 14:58:46
I love eharlequin! It’s the first site I visit the first of every month lol
May 01, 2008 @ 15:09:06
ME!ME! Pick me! I never win anything online.
May 01, 2008 @ 15:12:52
Oh thanks for letting us know about the bites – I just can’t help but think it’s so cute! :X
May 01, 2008 @ 15:20:34
Whoa, only 89 cents? That’s not bad even without a coupon. *muses*
May 01, 2008 @ 16:56:23
I agree that Harlequin has done a good job with e-books. I’ve found some good authors and books by browsing through their site. I’m looking forward to checking out this new line.
May 01, 2008 @ 19:44:49
Wow, 89 cents is a great buy. I would love to try out the download from HQ for free, though, like everybody else :)
May 01, 2008 @ 20:27:03
Count me in!
May 01, 2008 @ 20:43:40
I’m all about a bit of Paranormal wonder! I’m in!

Oh, very cool! I’m glad to see these coming out now!
I’m in for one, if chosen.

I’ve been curious about the Nocturne Bites ever since they announced it.
May 01, 2008 @ 22:33:18
I’m ending the free contest early because I am tired! But, I’ll give two more to commenters between now and tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM CST. The winners were MAD, Joy, Cyclops8, Joy (a different Joy!) and Klee.

Hugs, Danette

Apparently I’m tired, too…Some part of my brain was making ‘CST’ ‘California Standard Time’ not ‘Central’ ;)
But I do know that it is before 10am no matter where I’m putting the time zone…
May 02, 2008 @ 03:06:17
Can’t work out the time difference (from Oz) – but i put my hand up :) Fantastic you doing this btw.
May 02, 2008 @ 08:39:22
Whoohoo!!
Hey – when did another Joy get here :-)
May 02, 2008 @ 10:09:52
LOL.. aobut working out the time difference to Australia. I had that problem up until two days ago.
May 02, 2008 @ 10:28:44
