Sooo! Books Make Me Happy Reviews (Host of the Olde City New Blood Paranormal Con–registration ends soon, will I see you at the ghost tour?) is doing an Out of The Box Reading Challenge for 2013!!
I rarely do reading challenges because as it’s just hard to find time to read, and I tend to read in fits and starts. I may read nothing for months and then spend the week in bed with the flu, blasting my way through a dozen books. My time is limited, but really, the best thing for an author is to read outside of our comfort zone, it’s a great way for our craft to grow. We absorb new technique, structure, and language by reading a variety of authors. So imma try. Who knows? You can get more info (and how to enter to win the big box o’ prizes) on the Books Make Me Happy Blog, but here’s the quicky category list.
- January – Comedy
- February – NON Paranormal Romance
- March – Science
- April – Poetry
- May – History
- June – Self Help/Personal Growth
- July – Kids Book
- August – Biography
- September – M/M, F/F, or Menage Romance
- October – Fairy Tales / Mythology
- November – Holiday
- December – Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance
My Picks (may change my mind or update, but here’s the tentative plan):
- January – Let’s Pretend This Never Happened – Jenny Lawson (aka The Bloggess)
February – On the Island – Tracey Garvis Graves- March – TBD
- April – TBD
- May – TDB
- June – TBD
- July – I suppose it would be cheating to just choose one of my preschooler’s books and call it good, so I’m thinking maybe something in the Captain Underpants vein? Dunno.
- August – I’d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had – Tony Danza
- September – This is TBD–if I were a big old cheater I’d put down Lover at Last and call it good, or maybe something by Mary Calmes whose writing I already know I love, or Megan Hart who I also enjoy and who often has a little bit of threesome action in her books. If I’m actually going to be reading outside of my comfort zone I should maybe choose an f/f romance, I think I’ve read maybe one all the way through, ever. Anyone has suggestions, I’m open. 🙂
- October – TBD
- November – Secret Santa Baby – Robin Covington (if I don’t break down and read it sooner)
- December – Prince of Shadows – Tes Hilaire (The sequel to her just-released Deliver Me from Temptation. I’m pretty sure it’s due out in December of 2013.)
There we go! What do you think you’re going to read? Think you can go the distance? Can I? Any of my readers who finish the challenge, email me at the end of the year, there’ll be something fun from me in it for ya.

Happy Holidays Giveaways
Hey look, that kinda rhymed! And hunky Santa guy is back!
Okay, so I did a little festive pre-blog tour kickoff with the lovely, talented, and super awesome Tes Hilaire, and we have a couple of
great pre-Christmas giveaways still going on, which I have gathered together for you in a tidy little bundle:
- Stop by GraveTellswhere Tes and I are talking about what our paranormal heroes and heroines would give each other for Christmas. Enter to win a copy of either Deliver Me From Temptation by Tes or my new upcoming release, Prince of Power. Contest ends 12/26.
While you’re at GraveTells, Tes and I are both up for a couple of Readers Choice Awards, if you feel up to casting a vote for one or both of us that would be most kind of you.
For another chance to win books from Tes and I, stop by Rabid Reads for Holiday Foreplay! We’re talking resolutions and bantering with our characters! Contest ends 12/31.
Jillian over at Read-Love-Blog wrote a really awesome review of Prince of Power, and is also doing a spotlight on her blog right now with an excerpt and a signed ARC giveaway. Contest ends 12/29.
The official release date for Prince of Power is 1/8 (although B&N and WalMart.com show is as already available) so there will of course be more celebratory awesomeness to come. So stay tuned!
