A Stolen Chance - Official Release Day

 

A Stolen Chance has been in the KDP program at Amazon for 3 months. Now is it officially released by The Wild Rose Press. So, for those of you who have been waiting to pick up a Nook copy, epup works very well on your Nook. You just download it to your PC, add it to your library, connect your Nook to your PC and transfer. If you don't like doing that, it should be at Barnes and Noble soon.

Please note, the book is at regular price of $4.99 on TWRP. It is still $2.99 at Amazon but I don't know how long it will stay at that price.

On a second note, tonight at midnight central time, is the deadline to enter the drawing for the Zuni Bear earrings. We don't have a huge number of entries so your chances of winning are good. Just email me at Linda@lindalaroque.com with A Stolen Chance in the subject line and you'll be entered.

Tomorrow, January 10th I'll be blogging several times at The Release Party at The Romance Studio. My posts will be about my adventures while traveling old route 66, The Mother Road, and how my experiences helped me with my book, A Stolen Chance. I'll also be giving away an ebook at each post. All you have to do to be entered in the drawing is leave a comment.

Thanks for stopping by today. Happy Reading and Writing.

Shared Whispers - An Anthology by CGB Authors

16 stories of love and romance, mystery and 

adventure in the world of yesterday, today and 

of imagination.

Now only $2.99 on Amazon

and free to Prime Members.

Blurb:

Shared Whispers is a collection of short stories created by an eclectic group of sixteen award-winning writers from across the globe who create novels in such diverse genres as romance, suspense, mystery, thrillers, paranormal, fantasy, and science fiction. What’s the common theme to the anthology you’re about to read? Each story reflects the allure and importance of amore in our lives.

 Why the title, Shared Whispers? Every writer has a unique voice in which they reflect the fictional world carried in their mind’s eye. It can be the flow of their words or the rhythm or pulse to their scenes. The elegance of some voices pull you into the story, envelop you with their characters and offer momentary release from the drudgery and the complexity of modern life. In essence, these stories reveal the thoughts, the murmurs, the whispers shared with the Muse, our individual guide that holds our hand from the first to the last word. At the end of each creation, each author offers the Story Behind the Story, the seed from which the idea evolved. You’ll also find a brief bio of their writing career and other titles that might be of interest.
