MBaM's site has been down for the past few days and it's been driving me crazy. 'Cause, you know, I want to find out where Redemption is on the bestseller list and I hit refresh every ten minutes. I had hoped it was sticking to 3 and hadn't lost any footing, but in the back of my mind I was prepared for it to be below the third spot.

No way was I prepared for it to have risen to 2!!!!!!

HOLIDAY HOTTIES CONTEST!!! - From the second week in October clear through to the Christmas and Solstice holidays, the Holiday Hotties Contest is in full effect!

The Theme - Paranormal, Multicultural, Seasonal and Holiday romance and erotic romance. Yep, October, November and December have lots to celebrate, so why not do it in grand style?

Who's A-Playin'? - We have some crazy out-of-this-world totally talented authors playing this year: Shelley Munro, L.A. Day, Natasha Moore, Sharon Cullen, Rhianna Samuels, Adele Dubois, Taige Crenshaw, Mechele Armstrong, Desiree Holt, B.J. McCall, Kelly Jamieson, Anne Hope and me, TJ Michaels.

Two Ways To Play - First you can enter by being an author's personal fan. All fourteen authors (you'll get a glimpse of new writers in each newsletter) have provided some questions for their fans. Last year, we have hints of what they'd like for Christmas. This year we decided to get a bit more personal. Note that each question will be about the author THEMSELVES, not about the books they write. It's called "getting all into their business". Evil grin!

For the next three months, here you will find questions from each author, along with excerpts and sexy book covers for these awesome authors. Visit their site, blogs and such for the answers to their questions.

Send the author's name and your guess to the Holiday Hotties e-mail address (Hotties@tjmichaels.com).

For EVERY correct guess, your name goes into the hat for BOTH the monthly prize, and the final Grand Prize! And it is pretty darned grand. So for example, if we list three questions for L.A. Day, and you guess two of them correctly, your name goes into each hat TWICE instead of once. Yes, we know - we're so awesome ;D

Second Way To Play - Simply leave a meaningful review for any TJ Michaels book (you can find them all on my website) and your name goes into the hat again. You can leave Samhain reviews at all of the following sites below, and Ellora's Cave reviews on Amazon only:

Note: Please do not leave a review for a book you haven't read. We want everyone to have a fair chance.

The GRAND PRIZE - A big holiday basket filled with goodies, including books, bags and special 'stuff' from the authors. All twelve of us!

LIVE OUTSIDE THE US?: Because of shipping issues with out-of-country winners in the past, if you are a international winner we will give you a Amazon.com gift certificate to purchase whatever you wish from your own country.

The Rules - Entries from the same person using multiple names/e-mail addresses will be disqualified. Example: Email 1 is from Carol (abc@cool.com) and says, "Author Julie Hawt wants a golden tutu," while email two is from Janie (abc@cool.com) and says the exact same thing. 'Tis a no-no.

Enjoy!!!

What do Sharon Cullen, Misty Evans, Carolan Ivey, Kate Johnson, Melissa Lopez, TJ Michaels, Michelle Pillow, Moira Rogers, Renee Wildes and Linda Winfree have in common? They're all authors with Samhain Publishing, and they all want to hook you on a new series!

If you'd like a chance to win one of eleven books, fill out the form at Moira's website and you'll be entered in the Get Hooked On a Series drawing. Eleven lucky winners will discover a new series! Winners will be announced on October 20th, in honor of the three authors who have October 21st release dates.
