Barbara is giving away an ARC of THE BULLDOGGERS CLUB, BOOK 1 + an autographed copy of LESSON OF THE WHITE EAGLE to one winner!

On the heels of her well received young adult novel, LESSON OF THE WHITE EAGLE (The RoadRunner Press, October 2011), Barbara Hay announces an encore: a new series for grade-schoolers and boy reluctant readers—designed to encourage children to get out and explore the great outdoors.

The Bulldoggers Club Series opens with THE BULLDOGGERS CLUB—THE TALE OF THE ILL-GOTTEN CATFISH, a story about four like-minded boys who form a club to pursue their love for riding, roping, and fishing. In Book 1, club members catch a record-setting catfish in a place they shouldn’t be. Soon everyone—reporters, adults, and kids—are pestering them for the location. If that wasn’t bad enough, one of the group has gotten the big-head, and he’s taking all the credit for landing the monster fish. The book goes on sale October 16, but it can be pre-ordered now from Barnes & Noble and Amazon.

Sandra is giving away one signed copy of KISS OF PRIDE and a signed cover flat for its sequel, KISS OF SURRENDER!

HOT SUN, HOT READ! If you’re thinking of reading a hot book to read on your beach blanket, try Sandra Hill’s latest novel, KISS OF PRIDE, the first book in her Deadly Angels series.

This series turns Vikings into fallen angels with fangs, or vangels, with a splash of Sandra Hill’s trademark humor and sizzle. Readers will laugh so hard and fan themselves so much that other beachgoers will want to know what they are reading.

In KISS OF PRIDE, Vikar Sigurdsson must turn a rundown castle in Transylvania, Pennsylvania into a headquarters for the VIK. If the wacky townfolks, the ton of quano to be removed, a young vangel who fashions himself Michael Jackson reincarnated, and a cook named Lizzie Borden aren’t enough to turn a vangel to sin, the nosy, but tempting, magazine writer who knocks on his door is. KISS OF PRIDE will soon be followed by KISS OF SURRENDER in December and KISS OF TEMPTATION in April.

Madeline is giving away 3 signed copies of THE SURRENDER OF MISS FAIRBOURNE!

A woman running a prestigious London auction house? Preposterous! But that is exactly what Emma Fairbourne intends to do when her father dies, leaving her the reins of this fabulous enterprise. Of course, she is not addlepated enough to do this openly and scare away her wealthy collectors. So she and her friend concoct a deception, hiring a handsome and charming front man who will do her bidding...

All would have proceeded smoothly—if it weren’t for the maddening interference of Darius, the arrogant Earl of Southwaite, who has been her father’s “silent partner” and now shares ownership of Fairbourne’s. An earl, of course, has no interest in running an auction house—and Darius is certainly not interested in allowing Miss Fairbourne to run it either, her ludicrous scheme notwithstanding. Clearly the business must be sold, especially since Darius suspects that Fairbourne’s has been involved in shady activities that could embroil everyone associated with it in crime and scandal.

But the headstrong Emma is like no other lady he has ever encountered, refusing to follow his dictates. He finds her infuriating, but her direct speaking and lack of artifice create a powerful attraction as well, one that that has him following his inclinations to seduce her into surrendering to him about Fairbourne’s, and in every other way imaginable.

“. . .imbued with a deliciously dry sense of humor and graced with a striking cast of characters, . . . impeccably researched . . .a masterpiece of wit and passion.” —Booklist, starred review
