The Geeky Blogger Reviews Whirlwind

Check out the Geeky Blogger's review of Whirlwind

Today’s tour stop is at the Geeky Blogger’s Book Blog.

Felicia says, “This was a quick, light read with a sweet romance. Don’t get me wrong the smexy scenes were hot but I thought the connection between Jason and Melissa was sweet. You could easily read this on a lazy summer afternoon.” She encourages readers to “Check It Out.”

The Geeky Blogger is also giving away an autographed print edition of Whirlwind to one lucky winner who answers the question: What is your dream date?

Mark Your Calendars for the Live Chat on June 18th

On Saturday, June 18th, we will celebrate the conclusion of the Whirlwind Blog Tour with a live chat hosted by our host, Missie of The Unread Reader. We’ll be chatting on a service called TalkShoe, and you can either call in or listen and type in your questions. I recommend creating a free TalkShoe account – that way I’ll be able to see your name, not just “Guest 8” :-). Also, you may need to disable your popup blocker for TalkShoe to work best.

Jason McAlister on My Book Boyfriend

I’ve been asked many times for a photo of Jason (the hero of Whirlwind), but whenever I start looking, I get distracted by all the sexy models and their well-defined…muscles. However, Missie at The Unread Reader has stepped up to the challenge and found a model who is not only SIZZLING, but looks a LOT like my Jason.

…but you need to see him on her blog! CLICK HERE TO SEE THE JASON HAWTNESS!

Watch for even more Whirlwind fun on the Whirlwind Blog Tour. Hosted by – you guessed it – The Unread Reader! We’ve got some great stops planned and a ton of giveaways. Come tour with Whirlwind!

Only a Few More Days to Win

Memorial Day Flags

Happy Memorial Day

So many have fallen in the name of freedom. Thank you to those who’ve given everything, and to those who continue to give in our armed services. One day isn’t enough to say thank you!

In addition to remembrance ceremonies today, Memorial day is the unofficial start to the American Summer. Grills all across the country will be fired up today, cooking everything from hamburgers to fish, vegetables to watermelon (we’re going to try that today). We probably won’t eat outside, but are planning a picnic-style spread, nonetheless.

Another Memorial Day tradition is, of course, a sale. And All Romance eBooks is doing just that. Through the end of today, they’re offering a 50% rebate on ALL PURCHASES. This means that when you purchase Whirlwind at allromanceebooks.com, you’ll get 50% of the purchase price returned in the form of a rebate! Half price…who doesn’t love that?

But FREE is Better!

Only a few more hours are left in the Share the Wealth Giveaway! Winner gets their pick of 5 books from the following list, one runner up gets 2 (along with signed copies of Whirlwind for both winners). US addresses only.

Which would you pick? Remember, a comment on this, or any of my May posts, counts as an entry. Winners will be selected on June first.

Photo Friday: The Golden State

Today’s photo is a blast from way past, and a preview of my upcoming blog tour:

Cal Poly, the inspiration for Santa Lucia Polytechnic in Whirlwind

Located on the Central Coast of California, Cal Poly is on the edge of the city, San Luis Obispo. This photo was taken a LONG time ago (1988), and the campus has grown a lot since then. One thing that hasn’t changed is the brown hills. This is the color of most of California in the summer and fall.

If you look close, you can see the white “P” on the hillside (for Poly). On the left side is the “back forty.” Whirlwind fans will remember what happened out there…

Be sure and check out the Whirlwind Blog Tour, starting June 6th, for even more photos, outtakes, an interview with hero Jason McAlister, and other goodies! The tour runs through June 17th, followed by a live chat with me on the 18th. Hosted by the fantastic Missie of The Unread Reader!
