Things That Go Bump Blog Hop

WINNERS UPDATE!

$10 Amazon goes to Asha

Swag Pack goes to Elizabeth

Free Kindle books go to:

Jessica & Ana

Winners will find an email in their Inbox informing them of their prize.

Thanks to all who participated! Sign up for my email list so you never miss another contest.

October is that time of year when it's a little bit easier to get the willies. Maybe it's the baleful stare of an orange harvest moon...or the black lacy clouds that tear past it on a chilly night. Maybe it's the skitter of dried leaves on concrete...or was that the patter of feet?

Other things can bring out a case of the goosebumps...a smile from that special someone, a tender kiss, or a mushy romance novel.

Whether it's an unexplained noise outside or good book that keeps you hiding out under the covers, pop out for a chance to win some book money and swag.

I'm offering a $10 Amazon gift card, ebooks, and some fun swag for the romance novel enthusiast.

To enter, leave a comment below with your email (so I can contact you if you win). There are four chances to win. One random winner will be selected to win the $10 Amazon card, two random winners will be selected to win Kindle versions of my Christian romance novel Claire's Not So Gothic Romance.

Claire Parnell, plain, repressed, and broke, falls desperately in love with Sam Murray, the sought-after new guy in town, and must overcome her scheming mother, a badly decorated red room, the enticements of the flesh (albeit scrawny), and Sam's unsavory past, to claim the same hard-fought happiness as her favorite literary heroine...Jane Eyre. 

And a fourth commentor will randomly be selected to win the swag pack.

There's more treats than tricks in this deal, and it gets even better of you hop to the next blog and enter for more chances to win!

Check back on the 29th for an updated post listing all the winners. And bring on some goosebumps!

Blustery Days Bring A Bevy of Books Blog Hop

WINNERS UPDATE!!

CBarton winner of Texas Whirlwind

Ali winner of the swag pack

CONGRATS and thanks to all who participated. Check back in October for the next hop!

As summer heads into fall, the wind picks up...along with the busyness that comes with a shift in schedules. It's also a time to cozy up with some books. 

Well, you came to the right place. Leave a comment below (with your email so we can contact you if you win) and be entered to win several titles from Candle Light Reads authors!

A swag pack (even more than pictured) from our authors includes books, pens, bookmarks and a $5 Amazon gift card! 

My offering is a Kindle copy of my Christian romance appropriately named Texas Whirlwind.

A summer storm in Galveston mirrors the whirlwind of problems Emma Hayes encounters after she adopts Haitian twin girls and runs into her old high school love-ending in a battle for custody when strangers contest the adoption. Is it true that she bought love with her ready-made family or can she trust the One that the even wind and waves obey?

Sound windy? :)

Tortured Heroes (Plus Sweet Moola and Swag)

UPDATE: WE HAVE WINNERS!!

Thanks to all who entered this month's blog hop! The winners are...

Amazon Gift Card:

BONNIE R.

Swag Pack:

JOY F.

Claire's Not-So-Gothic Romance Winner:

TABITHA

Sign up for my email list so you don't miss another hop!

We all love the tortured hero...think Mr Darcy, Heathcliff, Prometheus...Batman. Yes, Batman!

But regardless who comes to mind when you think of this popular character of romance literature, we girls can get a bit swoony over them. 

Is it because they need a kiss to make it all better? Or is is because that broodiness is always so appealing (until he refuses to take out the trash)? Maybe it's the mystery of finding out what makes him tick. 

Do you have a favorite literary (or TV/movie) character who takes the tortured hero cake?

Comment below with your answer (WITH your email!) and you'll be entered to win a $65 Amazon gift card, swag, 

 

and a Kindle copy of my Christian romance Claire's Not-So-Gothic Romance. 

Claire's addiction to Jane Eyre might make her miss the opportunity for her very own Rochester.

Also, enter the Rafflecopter below for more chances to win. Then hop to the next blog. Check back the day after the contest for the list of winners.

I can't wait to hear who you consider a tortured hero!
