Winners Picked for Dangerous Dreams Giveaway

Rafflecopter has done its thing and chosen the winners for September's contest. Congratulations to Nicki B., Brittany U. and Claudia!

My thanks to everyone who entered. Be sure to check back for another terrific contest later this year during the release of Book 2 in the Legacy of the White Wolf shifter series.

Here were the prizes for this month's giveaway...Top prize, a $120 sterling silver and mother of pearl necklace from a New Mexico art gallery with a beautiful golden stone (yellow citrine, if I'm not mistaken).



Second prize is almost as cool, a pair of earrings made from real leaves plated in 24 kt gold.


If you're sensing a theme, you're right. In fact, in honor of the mysterious golden fields all dreamrunners must travel in The Dreamrunners Society novels, every giveaway for the next year will include at least one golden item among the prizes.

Dangerous Dreams FREE Today on Amazon! Plus Interviews

It's free days time at Amazon for Book 1 of The Dreamrunners Series. Everyone is invited to hop on over and download a copy. Dangerous Dreams will be free through Thursday, September 19.

Also, we're on Day Two of my virtual blog tour. One of today's stops is a bit ahead of schedule, an interview with Jack Mayfield, the hero of Dangerous Dreams. Janine at Eclipse Reviews has a fantastic knack for asking questions that get characters to open up about themselves. I found it a quirky, and liberating experience, as an author, to play the game and let the characters live a little outside a book.

Check out Janine's blog, plus the other tour stops below, including a challenging (but fun!) interview I had with Traci Douglass author of the paranormal romance Seven Seals series. The Tattooed Book Review and Another World of Books also weigh in with their reviews. My humble thanks for their thoughtful, inspiring critiques.

It's Chile Season!

Those of you who know me, know I'm a fiend for green chile and the crop from Hatch is in! Roasters are going full tilt all over the city. New Mexico's version of roasted chestnuts during Christmas in NYC, maybe? Here's the one at our local Whole Foods, putting the sear on fire-breathing-hot chile in the rain.
