So here we are, just over two weeks before release. Are you guys excited? I need y’all to be revved up about this book, as it’s my first romance and my first release as Ava Gray. That’s why we’re having another week of the book orgy. There are more awesome books up for grabs this week. To win, all you need to do is show up. The more you comment, the better your chance to win because I’ll be picking my winners through a random number generator. As always, no spamming, no random links.
Here’s who I have in store for you this week:
Jill Sorenson
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Jill, and she’s a fun person. She’s also a very talented author. I read her book CRASH INTO ME, and I loved it. I haven’t had the chance to read this one yet; it’s still in transit from Amazon, but I have heard tremendous things. She writes sexy romantic suspense, and I think y’all would love this book.
Diana Pharaoh Francis
I had the pleasure of reading this as a blurb; it’s a totally kick-ass urban fantasy, and I really loved it. I gave the following quote: “In the deliciously epic Bitter Night, Diana Pharaoh Francis has married the Charles de Lint-style old school urban fantasy to the new college of asskickery in a pagan-pirate handfast. I totally loved this book.”
I think that should be enough. But in case it’s not, try this: “High-energy, gritty…will keep action fans coming back for book after book.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Ms. Francis sends urban fantasy on its head in this fast-paced, dynamic story. Loved it, could not put it down. Unusual and terrific.”
—Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hunting Ground
I don’t think I need to say anything more.
Greg Van Eekhout
My husband loved this book — and he’s kind of picky– which is why I’m giving it away. I figure I should show some love to Andres’s favorites as well. I’m sure I’ll love it too when I get a chance to read it. This book comes highly recommended by people I trust, and I’m excited about reading it. You guys should be too.
Shannon K. Butcher
Finally, I have a special treat: an ARC of FINDING THE LOST. This is book two in Shannon’s paranormal romance series, and it’s not out yet. But you can get a sneak peek here, if you’re one of the lucky winners. My awesome editor totally hooked me up with some sweet, sweet prizes. You know you want this book. How sexy is that cover?
So those are the prizes: three books and one ARC. Four winners, who will be announced on Friday. Here’s the question you have to answer to enter:
Which one of these books do you want most? There can be only one!
(Note: since drawing is random, you may not win the one you ask for.)

I am not a big fan of murder mysteries but when it comes to Jill’s book, I eat them up like candy
October 19th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
I want Set the Dark on Fire the most. I have never read Jill Sorenson but have heard such great things!
October 19th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
The Shannon K. Butcher book, without a doubt!!

October 19th, 2009 at 12:09 pm

I’ve read Bitter Night, so I’m going with…Finding the Lost.
And thanks. Now I have the Highlander soundtrack in my head.
October 19th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
What a great giveaway! I have a hard time choosing, but your blurb convinced me; I’d like to win Bitter Night.
Now how do I get accepted to the college of asskickery?
October 19th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
wow what a great giveaway thank you so much. I would definetly do back flips for Shannon Butcher, her cover is smoking.
October 19th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
Can we pick Skin Game???
Haven’t read any of the other authors. Am curious about Shannon K. Butcher, though.
October 19th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Ann – another great orgy!
I’m intrigued by several of the authors, who are new to me; I’m a big Shannon fan, but if I could only win one, it would be ….
SKIN GAME!!!! I cannot wait for this to release!

October 19th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Oooohh Bitter Night!! The cover for Finding the Lost is HOT tho!!
October 19th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Just to be clear, no copies of Skin Game are being given away right now. The contests are just to get yall excited about it.
October 19th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
Thank you so much for the contest
I would choose Shannon Butchers new book – loved book 1 and can’t wait to read this one… but the other books sound great
have a nice day!
Ina
October 19th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Norse code for me please!
October 19th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
The all sound awesome, but I think I most would like to check out Norse Code since I am from Northern Europe :)
October 19th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
I’d pick Bitter Night. Could I possibly get lucky a second time? Have Skin Game on order, can’t wait!
October 19th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
“Finding the Lost” is the book I would love to read!
I loved reading the “Burning Alive” the 1st book in Shannon K. Butcher’s Sentinel Wars series.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
October 19th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Hi Ann, I got the email and replied. Hope it’s been recieved.
October 19th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Bitter Night for sure! I keep checking my bookstore to see if it’s arrived, even though its not out for another week!
October 19th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
I’ve been looking forward to the release of Bitter Night by Diana Pharaoh Francis since I first saw the cover on Amazon and decided to check it out. It sounds awesome.
October 19th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
They all sound interesting, but I am thinking “Set The Dark On Fire” would be the one I would be most interested in.
Thanks!
October 19th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
Oh um Bitter Night would be lovely :)
October 19th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
It’s the first time I’ve heard of Bitter Night, but that’s the one I want most.
October 19th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
i would love jill’s books
love contemp such a hot cover
thanks for the contest
October 19th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
The Norse Code book looks good so I might go with that though I have read some books by Diana Pharaoh Francis that I enjoyed so Bitter Night would be another book that I would choose. Sigh, such tough choices in life.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
I’ve been wanting to get Norse Code forever!
(And I’ve read Bitter Night already and completely agree that it’s fabulous.)
October 19th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Bitter Night has been on my wish list!
October 20th, 2009 at 12:17 am
Well I’m excited. Hats and horns people!
October 20th, 2009 at 1:08 am
I’d like a copy of Finding the lost as I just finished Burning Alive.
October 20th, 2009 at 2:36 am
I would love Jill Sorenson’ s book.
October 20th, 2009 at 2:56 am
They’re all so pretty! Oh, they sound good, too, but mainly, those covers are to die for. The one I’d most love to read is Norse Code.
October 20th, 2009 at 3:44 am
I want to read Finding the Lost.
October 20th, 2009 at 8:03 am
Norse Code! It’s been on my recommended-by-Amazon list for months. :-)
October 20th, 2009 at 8:34 am
They all sound good! Bit if have to pick one, it would be Bitter Night.
October 20th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Oooh, oh, Finding the Lost!!
October 20th, 2009 at 9:37 am
Set the Dark on Fire for me! I have heard great things about this book. Looks awesome!
October 20th, 2009 at 9:44 am
They all look good. I would choose Bitter Night.
October 20th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Thanks for the giveaway. I’d have to go with Norse Code.
*Jen*
October 20th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
“Set the Dark on Fire” sounds right up my alley. And the title perks me up, too – especially it being so cold here :)
October 20th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
These are some really great books but if I had to pick just ONE, I’d pick Shannon Butcher’s Finding the Lost!!! But hey, I’d be happy with any one of them!!!!
October 20th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
I like the sound of all of them and was torn between Jill Sorenson and Greg van Eekhout.
In the end I opted for asking for Norse Code because, if your husband is picky and he loved it, it must be a great story :D
October 20th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
If it has to be just one book, then it’s Greg Van Eekhout.
Thanks for the giveaway.
October 20th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
I would love to read Finding the Lost! I agree, that is such a yummy cover.
October 20th, 2009 at 7:07 pm
They all sound great, I will go with Diana Pharoh Francis’s book.

Bitter Night sounds wonderful!
October 21st, 2009 at 12:44 am
Wow, all of the books look great, but if i have to choose, i’ll pick Bitter Night.
October 21st, 2009 at 1:09 am
I am bad and have only read Shannon Butcher out of the 4 authors listed. The Jill Sorenson sounds like an interesting read though.
October 21st, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Would love to get any of them but Bitter Night is my first pick!
October 21st, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Bitter Night would be my choice. I follow the Mad Lib Blog and so I am looking forward to this book.
October 21st, 2009 at 4:42 pm
Ohhhh
I have heard alot of good things about Bitter Night by Diana Pharaoh Francis. And I wouldnt mind winning Finding the Lost Arc-
