http://blacklabpress.com/raft-9-giveaway/

Here's a little about Raft 9

There's always Plan B... One hundred years from now accomplished aerospace engineer, Sara Ahmed, and the crew of Raft 9 are forced to flee from impending nuclear holocaust to the Peninsula, a space station waiting just beyond the moon. Chased by the blast, with no means of communication, and unsure of what the future holds, their launch seems doomed to fail. Will they escape in time? This first episode in The Peninsula series will have you perched on the edge of your seat. See for yourself why advance readers are saying of Raft 9:

"I felt like I was racing along with the characters to hurry and get off the planet!"

"Can't wait to find out what happens next"

"Exciting"

So go grab you copy and enjoy it right away! Happy Holidays and Happy Reading.

The Christmas season is my favorite time of year, by far, and I'm happy to be joining with several other fantastic authors for an event we're calling the Twelve Days of Christmas giveaway! If you've read any of my Dream Series novels, you know that several of them are set around Christmas (DREAM STUDENT, DREAM CHILD, WAKING DREAM and DREAM HOME, to be exact). Christmas gifts, obviously, play an important role in the stories, and I'd like to share a gift with all of you. I've got two neat prizes to give away: a signed paperback copy of one of my novels (winner's choice), and a USB flash drive with ALL the books preloaded on it. All you have to do for a chance to win is click here and enter your name and email address. And just for doing that, I'll also send you one free Dream Series ebook or audiobook of your choice. You really can't beat that! And in case you're new to the books, here's the basic idea in a nutshell: what if you could see everyone else's dreams? The books answer that question as we follow Sara, a young woman who has the ability to do just that. Over the ten books of the Dream Series, we see Sara wrestle with this gift (or curse!) and try to balance it with all the other responsibilities in her life. There's romance, suspense, humor and plenty of heart, and i think you'll really enjoy the books! Here are all the authors invoiced - be sure to check them all out for the fantastic giveaways! December 14: Angela Carling & Tamara Passey December 15: Jason Zandri & Britney Mills December 16: Nicole Zoltack & Ava Mallory December 17: Writing Dreams (you're here now!) &, KJ Traynor December 18: AJ Harred & Rachel Skatvold December 19: Jennifer Kibble & Kari Trumbo December 20: Lea Doue & Brenda Anderson December 21: Emily Bates & Stacy Monson December 22: Peggy Urry & Anna Del C.

On the Third Day of Giveaways

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Nicole Zoltack here. I'm so glad to have this chance to talk to you, readers. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. I love the sense of hope and peace it brings, the family togetherness, and, of course, giving.

But I'll get back to the giving in a moment.

First, I wanted to talk to you about two of romances, both Christmas romances.

LOVE BEFORE HONOR

A medieval knight. A Regency lady. The magical Christmas that brings them together.

It's only 99 cents!

MISTLETOE, MARRIAGE, & MAYHEM

In this collection of novellas, the Bluestocking Belles bring you seven runaway Regency brides resisting and romancing their holiday heroes under the mistletoe. Whether scampering away or dashing toward their destinies, avoiding a rogue or chasing after a scoundrel, these ladies and their gentlemen leave miles of mayhem behind them on the slippery road to a happy-ever-after. 

***All proceeds benefit the Malala Fund.*** 

Again, only 99 cents!

And now, back to the giveaway!

I'm giving away a print copy of BLACK HELLEBORE. It's the first book in a trilogy, the Heroes of Falledge. Hey, even superheroes need love too, right?

On the Second Day of Giveaways...

I'm so glad you've stopped by for Day 2 of the Twelve Days of Giveaways!
Twenty four authors of all genres have gotten together to act like Santa and give you all kinds of surprises.

Click here http://www.angelacarling.com/12Day.html to see what each author is giving away and enter all the giveaways!!

Now onto our Author of the Day Jason Zandri.  For today's giveaway, Jason is offering one part of the "10 Painfully Obvious Truths Everyone Forgets Too Soon" posting (Credits: by Marc Chernoff, marcandangel) 

Jason's work gives us lots to think about. Here's a little more in his own words.

1.  The average human life is relatively short.

We know deep down that life is short, and that death will happen to all of us eventually, and yet we are infinitely surprised when it happens to someone we know.  It’s like walking up a flight of stairs with a distracted mind, and misjudging the final step.  You expected there to be one more stair than there is, and so you find yourself off balance for a moment, before your mind shifts back to the present moment and how the world really is.

LIVE your life TODAY!  Don’t ignore death, but don’t be afraid of it either.  Be afraid of a life you never lived because you were too afraid to take action.  Death is not the greatest loss in life.  The greatest loss is what dies inside you while you’re still alive.  Be bold.  Be courageous.  Be scared to death, and then take the next step anyway.

A number of things come to mind when I read this, but I suppose it's the simple thought of "plan your life like you might live forever but live it as if it might end tomorrow."

Yes, you want to make sure to take the time to save for a house, a vacation, retirement, and so forth, but no one ever lay on their deathbed saying "damn, I really wish I could have put in 100 more hours at work."

• Take the vacation.
• Go for a walk.
• Buy an ice cream cone for yourself.
• Step outside on a sunny day; soak in the rays.
• Step outside into the rainstorm; let the water wash over you.
• Grab an extra hour of sleep.
• Call a loved one and just BS on the phone.
• Go over and see them.
• Buy a bag of dog food and bring it to the animal shelter.
• Clear out the canned goods that are about to expire at home and donate them to a food pantry for the less fortunate.
• Sing or dance like nobody is watching / listening.
• If there are people around, do it anyway.
• Play with your kids / grandkids.
• If they are older, take them to lunch (or that ice cream cone).
• Forgive someone for their trespass; you do not have to forget what occurred, but perhaps it's time to let part of it go.
• Ask for forgiveness for a trespass of your own; if you are not forgiven by them, at least forgive yourself.

I will close my thoughts by looping back on what I said prior - "plan your life like you might live forever but live it as if it might end tomorrow."

You want to do whatever you can that is timely and practical as far as working and savings so that you can have the best chance to have the same kind of life in your final years as you experienced your working adult life.

With that I emphasize two additional 'moderation' thoughts:

Do something 'small' tomorrow for yourself, in case it does in fact end up being your last day.

Thanks for stopping by and best of luck on whatever you enter to win!

On the first day of Giveaways...

It is here!

Now on to our Author of the Day Britney Mills! In her own words I'll let her tell you all about her work and giveaway.

 

I am so excited to be part of this fun book giveaway for Christmas! There are a bunch of fun authors participating and so many chances to get a great book!

I'm giving away a few copies of my book, #ShareChristmas, that I finished a few weeks ago.

I love Christmas stories, the short ones that make you want to cry because of the goodness of people. The reason I wanted to write a bunch of short Christmas stories is because there are so many different family situations that you might come across during the holiday season and I think by showing what people are going through, we can all be a little bit more sympathetic.

There are ten stories that are all fiction but based on things that have happened in my life or in other's life that I have witnessed and so hopefully you can connect with a few of them. This is a great book to add to your Christmas collection and even has a bunch of fun activities to do with your kids to keep the real meaning of Christmas in your home during this great holiday! Plus, I'm also giving away a few more editing opportunities! Make sure to enter now! a Rafflecopter giveaway

Make sure to check out all of the other great giveaways happening and I hope this is a great holiday for you and your family!
