Today Avon and Dear Author are giving a holiday gift to the readers of Dear Author in celebration of the publication of “A Bite Before Christmas“, a two story anthology from Lynsay Sands and Jeaniene Frost. (I almost called the two of them “vampire mavens” but as I was typing it out I realized it was horrible and deleted it. Then I thought I would share with you the horrors of my undeleted thought process!) NOTE: This Giveaway is for ONE HOUR ONLY. This contest is now closed.
THE GIFT by Sands is an original novella featuring yet another Argeneau. This time Katricia Argeneau finds herself stranded in an isolated cabin with police officer Teddy Brunswick. There’s only one problem: Teddy has worked with the undead before, and while he’s got no qualms about fraternizing with vampires, getting intimate with one was never on his personal wish list.
HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS from Jeaniene Frost is a novella featuring Cat and Bones. Christmas may never be truly normal for Cat and Bones…but their Yuletide plans are shattered when a not-so-jolly stranger comes to call. He comes not bearing gifts, but with tidings of long-buried family secrets. The holidays can be killer.
Avon is giving away a $200 AMEX giftcard to a random person who can answer the following question. Enter the answer in the form. (We are trying to be a little clever here by preventing the commenters from copying each other even though, lord knows, the answer is right here. Obvious. Apparent.)
Your clue:
This puppy shares a name with the hero in Lynsay Sands “The Gift” in A BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
- Bones
- Harper
- Kat
- Teddy
Again, Your prize: $200 Amex gift cert, PLUS a signed copy of THE BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
Your next stop should be SmartBitchesTrashyBooks whose prize is a Coach bag and a $50 GC. That contest will run beginning at 3 PM CST/4 PM EST.
The name the hero in Ms Sands story and the puppy share is [redacted so that others can have the fun of guessing – edited by Jane].
