Tuesday Tidbit: HOLD ON TIGHT Is Out! & $10 Gift Card Giveaway

This contest is now closed--thank you to everyone who visited, shared, and entered! Annette is my winner; I'll connect her separately by email. Hold on Tight3I was really just trying to pack the most punctuation possible into a single headline.But it's TRUE! Hold On Tight is out, and I'm very excited because 5% of my earnings on ebook sales of Hold On Tight until September 30, 2014, will be donated to a non-profit, Ride 2 Recovery, that organizes challenge bike rides to help injured veterans heal physically and mentally. You can read more about Ride 2 Recovery here.logo-1I'm also very, very excited because I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK. I love all my books, of course, because they are all my babies, but this book actually has a baby in it. A SECRET baby. The secret baby is Sam, who is eight. He was conceived during fail-sex on a beach, just before his parents had a big sort-of fight (because I'm the author, and I love both awkward fail-sex and fights-that-aren't-quite fights). He lives with his mom, Mira, who is a great mom, the kind who works really hard to make a good life for herself and Sam and still has time for Ferris Wheel rides and stuff. They're doing just fine---or they think they are---until Mira moves far away from her parents to take a job and suddenly finds herself without child care. And then---And then there's Jake.He shows up in the physical therapist's office and everything changes. Just like that. In an instant. Just like in the romance novels, you know---? Her breath stops, he's unbelievably good-looking, she remembers all about that last night with him when he---Well, you'll have to read to find out. But I'll tell you some things about Jake.He's a soldier. He's injured. And he's---well, angry, a little. And scared. He doesn't feel much like a man.But that's about to change, too.To read an excerpt, click here (and then scroll down to the black box).
