This kicks off my next summer Easter Egg hunt. My dear friend Lauren Dane has a book out this week; it’s called LAID BARE. In celebration of this occasion, we’re doing another Easter Egg hunt. 
Just like in Eli’s hunt last week, Lauren has given me a question that you need to answer. The info can be found on her website, which means you need to do some reading. Here’s what you need to find out:
What was Lauren’s first book sale and when?
Once you have that answer, email me at ann.aguirre at gmail.com. Then post a comment here saying, “I visited Lauren’s site & I’ve entered” (or some variant thereupon; you don’t have to use those exact words). That way, I have a tidy list to make sure I don’t lose any entries in cyberspace or my spam filter. Note: under NO circumstances should you post the answer in comments.
The prize? A copy of Lauren’s fabulous LAID BARE. Nobody writes erotic romance like Lauren. I loved her “Chase” brothers books; they’re like fresh, homemade bread: simultaneously steamy, wholesome and delicious. I enjoyed UNDERCOVER, for which she won an RT award. I loved RELENTLESS. But frankly, none of those books can hold a candle to LAID BARE. I doubt I could tell you succinctly how much I loved it outside of sharing the blurb I gave her. So why don’t I include it here?
“Laid Bare is the hottest thing since Prometheus gave us fire. It’s also a tender love story that wrung my heart with its sweetness. Don’t miss this book.” –Ann Aguirre, national bestselling author of Blue Diablo
LAID BARE is Lauren’s best book yet. Menages don’t ordinarily work for me, but in this story, it is pitch perfect. Get your copy and fall in love with Erin, Todd, and Ben.
The contest kicks off now, and will wrap up next Wednesday at midnight. Winner will be announced on Thursday morning. Game on!

I must be lame, because I checked around on Laura Dane’s site and couldnt find any dates for first publication, unless it was one of the few books listed. Oh well, Not too worried about the contest. But I do really like the tattoo on the cover model’s back and arm. Especially the arm tattoo.

I paid a visit to Lauren’s site and emailed you an answer for entry into the “Egg” hunt……. Here is hoping for the winning of a “hot” book and new authors to put on my TBR pile and “Wish” lists….
Thanks for the chance and great contests you are allowing us the chance to win…
