Resolution Tour Begins!

Happy New 

    Year! 

 

Time to Rock it!

In 2013, I resolve ... to take time for my Other Creative Passions!

To help me get started, my friend, 

Cassiel Knight

Blood on the Moon (Children of Egypt, Book 1)

Cassiel: It seems one of the most common resolutions for New Year’s always involves some form of time management and organization. Finding and taking the time to do the things you want to do. Time for vacation. Time for family. If you are an author, it’s: Time for writing. Time for promoting. And so on.

Authorities talk about how time can be gained by organizing yet how many of us actually do that?

One of Cathryn’s resolutions involves time to do other creative pursuits. As if there are other things besides writing and reading. Okay, okay, I know there are. So, how does a busy woman find and take the time?

The Resolution Tour

Happy New Year!

For the first 9 days of 2013, 

a group of my favorite romance author friends & I will be helping each other with 1 of our New Year's resolutions. (Special thanks to Jessie Smith of RCRW for suggesting this!) 

Each resolution is different. Mine is to Take Time for my Other Creative Passions ... besides writing romance.  

Candy Cane Kink Winners!

Merry Christmas to all!

Thanks to all the readers who stopped by during the Candy Cane Kink Blog Hop ... always great to chat with you.

 I had a sweet time hearing everyone's 'naughty' treats, whether caloric or otherwise. I'm sure calories don't count if we're licking them off a delicious male, right?

Here are the 5 winners of my newest release, Hawaiian Heroes III; Blooming in the Wild. There are no Christmas goodies in this hot tropical romance, but there may be a few edible heroes.
 
I'll be notifying the winners by email, also.

Fall into Red Hot Romance ... with me

Ah, Fall!

Such a gorgeous time of year.
The days turn cool, the nights cold and crisp.

The cottonwoods and aspen here in Montana have turned to gold, the nine-bark to burgundy, the maples in town to red and orange. Now the leaves are blowing  away in the wind, and the first snowflakes are beginning to fall.

Time to snuggle up with a hot drink
... and an even hotter romance.

I have to tell you, living in the northwest--
whether the Pac NW which my DH and I just
left, or back home here in the Big Sky Country ... I am used to loooong, cold winters. Great incentive to stay indoors and write a steamy romance to warm me up from the inside out! ;D

And read them, too. I've been enjoying my Kindle so much this fall. A girl can only write so many hours a day, you know. Then I recharge my romance batteries with a great read from another author. Or some time with my handsome DH, but that's another story.

Of course I also go to my local public library. Did you know most public libraries now have ebooks available? How cool is that? And inter-library loan, so you can get the books you really want to read. Many also have online reserve services, so you can hop on the waiting list when that new best-seller comes out.

Now why, you may ask, is an author touting borrowing books for free? Hey, reader, I know times are tough. And I grew up bringing home stacks of books from the library. All that reading helped boost me into a career as a school librarian, and then a second career as a writer.

I also happen to know that most library patrons are also book buyers. 40% of you are likely to find a great author at the library, and buy some of their books. That would be my history. Home in a small town in the Rockies with two little boys, I discovered many of my current go-to authors in weekly trips to the library for picture books for the boys, and romances for mommy.

My own books aren't in the library ... yet. Working on that.

But of course you can get them all online here. http://store.samhainpublishing.com/cathryn-cade-pa-351.html?PHPSESSID=a7ec480ea23720e66f13304b0d33cb02

They aren't free, but ebooks won't break the bank, either. And they don't take up much shelf space, lol. Gotta love that!

Hmmm ... speaking of FREE. Let's celebrate the debut November 6th of my latest red hot Hawaiian paranomal romance.

Leave a comment, and I'll enter you to win one of 5 FREE copies of the ebook, Hawaiian Heroes III; Blooming in the Wild. 

Fresh Fiction calls Blooming in the Wild 
"Sensuous and thrilling tale set amid the steamy jungles of Hawaii, where delicate blossoms assist lovemaking in delightful ways. Cade knows her location & drops some very real characters into these surroundings. I for one will be looking out for her next book!"

Wicked After Dark Blog Hop

Welcome to my stop on the Wicked After Dark Blog Hop! Along the way you'll have chances to win lots of wicked, wonderful prizes. You'll be introduced to some wicked heroes and heroines, and see what they get up to  ... After Dark!

I write red hot romance, so that means my characters get up to plenty of hi-jinx ... in the bedroom and out of it.

My new release, Hawaiian Heroes III; Blooming in the Wild debuts November 6th --that's less than 2 weeks away!  

In the story, the characters have traveled to a wild coast of the Big Island, and find themselves stranded in the tropical rainforest. Now, they're certainly not worried about frostbite, but they do have other problems, such as being stalked by vicious drug runners.  Luckily, the hero and heroine find plenty of time to be ... wicked.

Fresh Fiction calls this story "Sensuous and thrilling tale set amid the steamy jungles of Hawaii, where delicate blossoms assist lovemaking in delightful ways. Cade knows her location & drops some very real characters into these surroundings. I for one will be looking out for her next book!"
