Kiss me, I'm...

*** UPDATE: This contest has ended. Thank you to all who participated, and congrats to the winners: Melissa L. (ereader), Shadow (gift card) & Catherine Lee (copy of Spirited Away). Happy St. Patrick's Day! :) ***

...offering a chance to win a Kindle Fire (me and 100+ other participating authors!). LOL That's probably not the way you expected that sentence to end (especially not on the day before St. Patrick's Day), but it's the best I can do -- I'm a lot of things, but Irish isn't one of them. At least, I know more about my family heritage than most Americans, and to the best of my knowledge there are no Irishmen in the mix. However, I love a good excuse to have fun, so St. Patrick's Day is a welcome holiday. Plus, poor old St. Patrick's life was so rough, what with being abducted and being forced to herd sheep in a foreign country and all, that it only seems right to have a beer (or two, or three...) in his honor.

So, here's how it goes: this post is part of a blog hop with 100+ participating authors, and everyone who leaves a comment on this post will be entered into a random drawing for:

                   1st Prize: winner's choice of a Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet

                   2nd Prize: winner's choice of a $90 Amazon or Barnes & Noble gift card

My Individual Prize: An ebook copy of Spirited Away


You can also (and definitely should!) go comment on more participating authors' posts for more chances to win. Each comment = 1 entry. Links to other posts at the end of this post.

What will I be doing for St. Patrick's Day? Oh, nothing huge -- maybe having that beer or two I mentioned. And writing away at my desk, which is decorated with a potted sharmrock plant that looks so cute with its little white flowers. It's more about what I've been doing in preparation for St. Patrick's Day -- writing an entire romance based on Irish legend! I call it Spirited Away, and it just released from Total E Bound publishing.



Nothing can kill Caitlin’s love for Aaron O’Brien - not being whisked away to the spirit world by the legendary bean sidhe of her homeland - not even death.

 

When Irish settlers gather from miles around to celebrate Beltane at the O’Brien family’s North Carolina estate, Caitlin McCarthy finds herself unexpectedly in the arms of the family’s striking heir, Aaron O’Brien.

But will they ever share more than a single kiss?

 

When a flood traps Caitlin on O’Brien property and leaves her at Aaron’s mercy, it seems so. Their sensual whirlwind courtship quickly escalates, but just as Aaron approaches Caitlin’s father to request her hand in marriage, Caitlin finds herself whisked away into the spirit realm.

 

Can she reunite with Aaron again, or does being Bean Sidhe mean leading a loveless existence?
