A Book Birthday and Thanks!

Hey gang! Want to say a quick thanks to all of you who commented on my blog hop post on Monday--I won! 

**QUICK CORRECTION/UPDATE** Actually, each judge picked their favorite, and I was chosen by 2 of the 4 judges. Awesome, right? 

How crazy is that? Unleash a couple of snarky friends on a dating quiz and look what happens. :-D

There's an anonymous 'reader vote' round (this round was voted on by the judges) on Friday I'd love to have your help with (I'll share details then...). My winnings this round are copies of Jaycee and author Magan Vernon's (the other judge that picked my entry) books, so I'll be sure to let everyone know how they are once I've given them a read.

Now,  MORE good news ...



Happy book birthday to Juliana Haygert and Her Heart's Secret Wish! Just in time for the holiday, Juliana gives us a little something to warm the cockles (and perhaps other things hehehe) and put us in the Christmas spirit:




Her Heart's Secret Wish by Juliana Haygert
Publisher: Decadent Publishing
Release Date: 12/12/12
Genre: NA contemporary romance
Length: 13,000 words

With a renowned reputation as a player, she had everything figured out... Twenty-year-old college student, Natasha is the life of every party and the reason behind many celebrations. The easiest girl on campus has all guys at her feet and more than a few in her bed.

…until he came into the game…

Having entered the academic world by chance, Professor Jason Stone is surprised to find one of his young students a huge temptation. The infamous Natasha has caught his attention. But is there more to her than meets the eye?

…and changed the rules.

As their unexpected friendship grows, so does their attraction to each other. When Jason’s Christmas plans are canceled and he ends up at the same party as Natasha, sparks flare, destroying the safe zone around them. Will they figure out how to break through their self-imposed barriers to be together, or lose one another forever?

About the Author: 

Juliana is a Brazilian girl living in Connecticut. She would love to be Wonder Woman, Cheetara, Elektra, Buffy, Phoebe, She-ra, Rose, Korra, Cornelia, a blood elf shadow priest, and other various kick-ass female from books, comics, TV series, movies, and games, but she settles for—the less exciting but equally gratifying life—a wife, mother, friend and a writer. Her heroines are like the ones cited above and she also writes about the heroes who drive them crazy—and occasionally hot.

Since her first stories, she wrote about 20-something year old protagonists, and today she's part of NA Alley, a blog dedicated to New Adult.

  5. Good job, E.J. ! And congrats to Juliana. Sounds steamy. :)

    Also, don't know if it's just me and my screen, but you've got a new social media sharing widget on the left of your screen that, for me at least, is partially blocking the text of your post. Just thought I'd mention it, since it makes it hard to read.

    1. Hey LG! I think you just need to stretch your browser window (emphasis on 'think'). Mine shows fine most of the time, but if I make the entire window smaller (which I sometimes do to be able to fit more 'things' on the screen at once) it can cause the little bar cover up the text. It is fixed to the left window border, and automatically adjusts to be on the outside of the text window when the minimal width to view the entire blog is achieved. i.e. Just click and hold the right border of the window and drag until it's where you want it.

      Sincerely appreciate you pointing it by the way. Drives me crazy when there's something wonky with a blog and no one says anything. We don't TRY to run crappy websites, you know? ;-D Anyway, I'm going to ask if it's a general problem at some point soon, and if it continues I'll make some changes.
