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

by Sandy Williams October 19th, 2009 at 1:15 pmAnn – 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!

by blodeuedd October 19th, 2009 at 1:51 pmI’d pick Bitter Night. Could I possibly get lucky a second time? Have Skin Game on order, can’t wait!
by LaurieF October 19th, 2009 at 2:08 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!

by Bre M. October 19th, 2009 at 2:56 pmI’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.
by Sara M October 19th, 2009 at 3:32 pmThey all sound interesting, but I am thinking “Set The Dark On Fire” would be the one I would be most interested in.
Thanks!
by Katie October 19th, 2009 at 4:25 pmOh um Bitter Night would be lovely :)
by emmad October 19th, 2009 at 4:26 pmIt’s the first time I’ve heard of Bitter Night, but that’s the one I want most.

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.
by Simcha October 19th, 2009 at 7:00 pmI’ve been wanting to get Norse Code forever!
(And I’ve read Bitter Night already and completely agree that it’s fabulous.)
by TJ October 19th, 2009 at 8:58 pmBitter Night has been on my wish list!

by Teresa October 20th, 2009 at 2:36 amThey’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.
by Lynz October 20th, 2009 at 2:56 amI want to read Finding the Lost.
by Lindsey Ekland October 20th, 2009 at 3:44 amNorse Code! It’s been on my recommended-by-Amazon list for months. :-)

*Jen*
by Jen D. October 20th, 2009 at 10:03 am“Set the Dark on Fire” sounds right up my alley. And the title perks me up, too – especially it being so cold here :)
by Amber Leigh Williams October 20th, 2009 at 12:11 pmThese 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!!!!
by Cybercliper October 20th, 2009 at 12:18 pmI 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
by Ilona October 20th, 2009 at 1:51 pmIf it has to be just one book, then it’s Greg Van Eekhout.
by Suzana October 20th, 2009 at 4:09 pmThanks for the giveaway.
I would love to read Finding the Lost! I agree, that is such a yummy cover.
by Anna ♥ October 20th, 2009 at 6:40 pmThey all sound great, I will go with Diana Pharoh Francis’s book.
