Fresh Fiction: The Silly Side of Hockey

Stop 2 on my mini blog hop is Fresh Fiction. I asked them if I could write about hockey pranks, since pranks are so prominent in my books and they were nice enough to host me again.

So, check it out. There is a short video of some Blackhawks playing a prank, which I found hilarious, and an excerpt from Across the Line in which Calder and Mac initiate certainly the most elaborate prank in the In the Zone series to date.

There’s also a giveaway in which you can choose which In the Zone book you would like to win!

03.06.2014 Giveaway, In The Zone Series, On The Surface, Websites

A Celebration and a Giveaway!

Here is what Dustin Brown looked like when the Kings won the Stanley Cup. Happy, right? That’s how I feel too!

After weeks of working closely with Melissa Bandera of Jelly Design Studio, my new website is finally live!

I’m thrilled with it. It’s so bright and cheery. It looks fresh and inviting and I hope it’s easy to navigate.

Here are some things, other than the cool design, that I’m really excited about.

I now have a home page so people aren’t shuttled directly into the blog.

I have a (long!) list of appearances coming up to commemorate the release of my first hockey romance, On the Surface.

On the sidebar you can see my beautiful cover art for On the Surface and it stays there no matter what page of the website you’re visiting.

There are social media buttons!! Quick, go follow me on Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. I try to post fun stuff.

My book pages are really easy to navigate now and there are handy links in case you feel like buying one of the books. (You know you want to…!)

You can now get my “authorgraph.” It’s a cool widget that allows readers to get their electronic book autographed by me.

Amazing site, right? I’m so in love with it. My designer Melissa was wonderful to work with. The process was so painless and she was very patient with all my requests as we tweaked and modified, tried different options, until it was the beautiful site I had only imagined before.

To celebrate the unveiling, I’m giving away a copy of On the Surface, In the Zone Book 1 from Carina Press. Good luck!
