For more info, and to read chapter one, click the covers.

Samhain does lovely work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Industry News ~<\/strong> Kindle just announced their delayed gifting program. Now I can buy a Kindle book as a gift, and tell Amazon when to deliver it. This is great for Christmas presents! On that note, if there&#8217;s anyone out there who&#8217;d like to give one of my books as a Kindle gift, I&#8217;ve got cover flats I can sign and send to the recipient so they have something under the tree.

Often I pick books I&#8217;ve already read so I don&#8217;t stay up all night long reading something really good. Well, dumb me, I picked up Josh Lanyon&#8217;s The Ghost Wore Yellow Socks. I admit, when I first read the title, I pictured Tom Hanks and his one red shoe, that&#8217;s how old I am. Anyway, this is a great mystery, complete with a haunted house, seances, and a great cast of characters. Then the love story, which is a great tale of opposites attract. A very good read, but not when you think you can just read &#8220;a chapter or two and then go to bed at a decent hour&#8221;. That won&#8217;t happen.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #003300;\">Hero Quote ~<\/span><\/strong> From Last Call, my newly covered re-release:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at me. You\u2019re beautiful. Sexy. Funny. Smart.\u201d He licked her lips. \u201cAnd you feel damn good around me. If there\u2019s a man out there who can\u2019t appreciate you for all that I can already see, then he\u2019s a fool that you\u2019re better off without.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #003300;\">Favorite Song of the Week ~<\/span><\/strong> Nina Doesn&#8217;t Care.

Without giving the whole thing away, let me just say I have some cover photos, and I need some titles. Now, if they&#8217;re really good titles, I might actually write the book, but as it is, I just need the cover and title. I&#8217;ve got them posted on <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/117454851416145111191\/posts\/9n9wxPxQdBH\" target=\"_blank\">Google Plus<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/alannacocaauthor\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>.
