Tuesday Teaser: Just For Fins (10)

“You want a ride?” he asks. “Or should I roll along beside you like a creepy stalker?”

I scrunch up my face, like I’m trying to decide. “Well, you do have a history of peeping in my bathroom window…”

“I never saw a thing.” He lets his gaze drift over me and I feel my skin tingle all over. His voice is low as he says, “Promise.”

Tuesday Teaser: Just For Fins (9)

“Are you sure you know what you’re doing?” Shannen’s voice is a little higher than usual as she buckles her seatbelt.

“Absolutely,” I lie. “I’ve been practicing.”

She gives me a skeptical look and tugs her belt tight. I flash her a sunny smile and turn the key in the ignition. In truth, I’ve only had the car—my car— a few days and haven’t had much time for driving lessons. But I’ve been watching Aunt Rachel for years. How hard can it be?

Monday Giveaway: Soul Screamers (Volume One)

Another Monday Giveaway as I pack up to head out of Oklahoma for a summer in Vegas... and beyond. This week you can win the first Soul Screamers omnibus from Rachel Vincent. And it's signed!

MY SOUL TO LOSE
—The prequel: never before in print!—
Kaylee is just your average girl shopping at the mall with friends - until a terrified scream bursts from her that cannot be stopped. Taken to a hospital ward, will she be able to save her mind - and her life?

MY SOUL TO TAKE
She's always felt different, but now Kaylee discovers why. The screams that cannot be denied mean that someone near her will die - and she can never save them. Because saving one life means taking another....

MY SOUL TO SAVE
Going on dates with her boyfriend is still new to Kaylee. But when the singer of the band they're seeing dies onstage and Kaylee doesn't scream, she knows something crazy is going on. Soon she discovers souls can indeed be sold.... Don't miss the start of the series Kirkus says "Twilight fans will love."

To enter this giveaway, tell me what makes your soul scream? What are your pet peeves (especially in books)? One of my pet peeves... using the phrase "caused her to" in a book. For some reason, that really bugs me. Can't you just say "made her" instead?

Hugs,
TLC

* Giveaway is open internationally and closes at midnight on Saturday. Winners are usually posted on Sunday(ish) but I'll be driving cross-country so there will probably be a delay. If you're reading this on Facebook or GoodReads, please click over to Blogger if you want to enter.

Eye Candy is Free on Kindle

Want to read my first chick lit ebook Eye Candy?

For free?

Right now it's free for Kindle on Amazon.

Lydia Vanderwalk has an obsession with candy, so when she invents an NEB--non-existent boyfriend--who turns out to be the male hire-a-date equivalent of a jumbo box of Hot Tamales she knows she’s in trouble.

Lydia has worked hard to have the right job, the right wardrobe, and the right everything else, in the quest for the appearance of perfection. Fed up by conversation #3,524—not that she’s counting—about long-since-exed fiancé Gavin, Lydia goes to drastic measures to change the subject. When she needs her NEB for a golden career opportunity, she enlists a talent agent friend’s help to produce perfect date Phelps. He was supposed to be pure eye candy, but there’s more going on beneath the surface than Red Hots looks and Pop Rocks spontaneity.

Throw in a banking wunderkind ex-fiancé, a trio of cutthroat couture-climbers, and a designer of questionable orientation and origin, and Lydia soon learns that what you see is often much less than what you get when it comes to people and not everything in life can be solved by a Jolly Rancher and a trip to Ann Taylor.

Even if you don't have a Kindle you can download the free Kindle app for your iPod/smartphone/tablet/computer. No excuses.

Enjoy!

Hugs,
TLC
