Happy holidays and welcome to the second to last day of the Harlequin Historical Advent Calendar!
Like my nifty slide show? I made it all by myself after several failed attempts to get some fancier @!@#$ widgets working. It’s part of my Holiday Giveaway which is easier than pie to enter.
Note: Some of the titles are shorter length novellas (but still full of romance and drama, I assure you). The description of each title includes the length and available versions. For excerpts and more information, see the Books section.
Instructions
Today’s prize: I’ll be randomly selecting three visitors to receive their choice of any one of my Tang Dynasty romances. The drawing will be open until 9am CST Friday, December 23rd. To be entered, simply watch the slideshow and comment with which title you’d like to receive and which version if both print and digital are available. Include a valid e-mail address in the comment form so I can contact you if you’ve won. One entry allowed per person. (Digital versions will be gifted through Kindle or Barnes & Noble. If a digital version is not available for the region, a print copy of the same title or another title may be substituted.)
Example of a valid entry: I’d love to read The Dragon and the Pearl! Digital copy please.
Grand prize: All valid entries for the daily prize will also automatically be entered for the Grand Prize. On Friday, December 23rd, the Harlequin Historical authors will randomly select a day from the advent calendar. Then another random number will be chosen to select the grand prize winner of a Kindle Fire or equivalent Kindle product if the winner lives in a region where the Kindle Fire is not available.
Invalid entries without a good e-mail address or without a selected title will be disqualified from both the daily drawing as well as the Grand Prize drawing.

Intrigued by my exotic settings and killer graphics skills? Sign-up for my newsletter for updates on upcoming releases and other special events. You can also follow me on Twitter or add my RSS feed. I like to chit-chat about interesting historical research, reflect upon writerly things, and occasionally rave about great books I’ve read. Oh yes, I’ve also just given birth to twins exactly one week ago so there may be the occasional mention about them.
(None of these things are required to enter the contest. In fact, I’d prefer you don’t follow or subscribe unless you want to occasionally hear from me. So as I used to say as a teacher, there’s no extra credit!)
Comment and enjoy the rest of your day!

I’m excited to read the digital (Kindle, please) version of “Butterfly Swords.”
Thank you so much for participating in the holiday giveaway – nothing is more fun than reading, and reading a FREE book is fabulous! I love “meeting” new (to me) authors through the voice they give their characters. So whether I win or not, Butterfly Swords is going on my Goodreads list!
I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and that you’re getting lots of help with your new precious bundles of joy. 🙂
