In honor of America’s Independence Day, July 4, I’m going to give away this packed tote bag full of books and an array of swag. Everything from bookmarks to jewelry to lip balm and pens and much more! (Note: Due to postage costs, I must limit entries to the United States only.)
To enter to win, be sure to follow my blog and comment below with your favorite couple from one of my books and why they’re special to you. Or follow my blog and comment with your favorite title of my books and why.
As a refresher, here are the titles and main couples in each.
A More Perfect Union historical romance series:
Emily’s Vow: Emily Sullivan and Frank Thomson
Amy’s Choice: Amy Abernathy and Benjamin Hanson
Samantha’s Secret: Samantha McAlester and Trent Cunningham
Evelyn’s Promise: Evelyn Hamilton and Nathaniel Williams
Secrets of Roseville paranormal romance series:
Undying Love: Meredith Reed and Max Chandler
Haunted Melody: Paulette O’Connell and Zak Markel
The Touchstone of Raven Hollow: Tara Golden and Grant Markel
And don’t forget Hometown Heroines: True Stories of Daring, Bravery, and Adventure. These real girls from the 1800s really are inspiring to me!
Plus, I’ll choose a second winner to receive this beautiful Bridesmaid gift bag author Linda Joyce handed out at the Heart of Dixie Romance Readers’ Luncheon last month with some cool goodies inside. The pretty scented soaps smell really nice! I was tempted to keep it for myself, but want to share the love! And I’ll even let the winner of the gift bag choose any one of my books that I’ll autograph to you or another person of your choice. Sweet, eh?
I’ll choose the winners on Friday, July 7, to give people chance to enter since there’s the holiday tomorrow and I’d expect many folks will be outside celebrating rather than on their computers.
Also, look for another Tasty Tuesday post tomorrow on making a really yummy beef entrée you won’t want to miss.
Good luck! Happy Fourth of July!!!!

The Touchstone of Raven Hollow (Secrets of Roseville Book 3) is available now! Grab your copy today!
He dug for the truth and found her magic.
Tara Golden has hidden her healing power all her life. But occasionally, she uses her abilities on people passing through town, sure they’d never figure out what saved them. Now a tall, sexy geologist is asking questions she doesn’t want to face, and he isn’t going to take no for an answer. There’s no way she would reveal her abilities and her gifted sisters for a fling.
The latest medical tests divulge geologist Grant Markel’s fatal condition is cured, but the scientist within him won’t accept it’s a miracle. When he meets the sexy, mystical witch who may hold the answer to his quest, he’s determined to prove she’s full of smoke and mirrors despite their mutual attraction.
When they are trapped in an enchanted valley, Tara must choose between her magical truth or his scientific beliefs. Can she step from the shadows to claim her true powers before it’s too late?

My favorite book of yours is Remnants. I love Book 2 (Ghosts of Roseville) the best, because I loved Paulette and Zak. I love stories when the 2 main characters have a driven agenda, and then meet and fall in love.

I liked ALL the books in the A More Perfect Union Series but my favorite was “Samantha’s Secret” with Sam & Trent. I love the idea of women studying anything in the sciences & this area has been an on again/off again acceptable area for anybody to pursue.

So far my favorite couple has been Paulette O’Connell and Zak Markel in Haunted Melody. I love paranormal romances, and this one has so much going for it, from Halloween decorations, a lovely antebellum, Paulette & her sister being able to see ghosts, a pregnancy, the grandfather’s ghost coming to help her, and romance. P.S. I’m just part way thru this book, you’re a new author to me, and I have to say I love this one!

Paulette and Zak are my favorite couple. I love pnr books the most and a grandfathers ghost makes this a great read. You know something is working when Zak can lose his focus for brother on a girl that “isn’t” interested.
