Since Show and Tell is out this month, I’m going to have a little contest. I’ll choose one winner from among those who post to this blog today, and you’ll win an autographed copy of The Fortune Hunter, the prequel to Show and Tell. So don’t just browse, be sure to comment and you’ll be entered. Be sure to check back tomorrow to see if you won!
In my last blog, I promised to tell you where I got the idea for Trinity Green’s story in Show and Tell.
A friend told me about a small incident that occurred while he was on a business trip. At the end of a long day, he arrived at his hotel, checked in, and was on the way to his room. As he was passing a closed door, he heard noises. A woman. She was obviously feeling pretty darn good at that particular moment, and very expressive about it, too. In relating this story, he added that it was kinda funny, because he couldn’t hear the man at all. My answer, maybe she was by herself. Duh! He laughed--that hadn’t even occurred to him--and told me I should use the tale in a book sometime. It just happened to be perfect for Show and Tell. And that’s how Trinity met her hero, Scott Sinclair. Naughty, naughty Trinity. Naughty Scotty.
You can read about this meeting in the new excerpt for Show and Tell up on my website: http://www.skullybuzz.com/home.html
I’m doing several blogs this week and offering other chances to win. A little later today, I’ll be on Simply Romance Reviews http://simplyromancereviews.blogspot.com/. And tomorrow I’ll be at Romance Reviews Today http://www.romrevtoday.blogspot.com/ and Magical Musings http://magicalmusings.com/. Stop on by and visit. I’ll be talking about how life is like a septic tank. Yes, you read that correctly! So don’t miss out on that bit of philosophy.

Hi Jasmine!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cover for Fortune Hunter! I can't wait to try these books. They sound awesome.
Scotty and Trinity show and tell what; I want to find out so enter me.
ReplyDeleteWomen can be having fun and a good time when no man is present, lol.
Thanks for checking out my septic 101 blog as well, Cheri! And I'm glad the book sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks, all, I'm glad you like the covers and find the story idea interesting. You know, nothing like THAT ever happens to me. But at least people are willing to share their stories!
And yep, Robyn, women can have fun without men! But they can have lots of fun with them, too. As Trinity finds out.
Be sure to check back tomorrow morning to find out the winner.
