Well, since y’all are awesome, I’ve decided that everyone who commented on my last post is a winner!

So if you commented on my last post and you haven’t pre-ordered (or you have pre-ordered but want to read it sooner!), use the contact form to drop me a line or send me a DM via Twitter, or leave your email addy in the comments and I’ll send you a copy of Falling for Finn!

I’m actually off on holiday this week so if you catch me after I’ve gone, don’t worry, I’ll definitely send it when I get back next Saturday.

Thanks heaps for commenting!

When I get back I’ll also be doing a big reveal on an amazing stick figure drawing Ms Maisey Yates did for me to help celebrate Finn’s release. Hehe. So be sure to check back.

Have a great week guys!

So, I’ve just had the wonderful Haven Yates redesign my website for me since I did it all myself last time and I’m HOPELESS with HTML and stuff. I think he’s done an awesome job. Doing a website these days isn’t easy, especially when you’ve got heaps of book covers to display and since I will have LOTS of book covers…hehe…

Anyway, to celebrate my new website and blog AND also the selling of a new book – yes, I dunno if I’m supposed to say or not but I sold my fourth book to Samhain a few days ago. It’s the linked book to Taking Him (my Dirty Virgin Hero) and it’s called Having Her. It also contains a virgin. And Manga. And Star Wars cosplay. And hot builders… Not sure of release dates etc yet but will let ya’ll know… (btw this makes this my 7th book sold in a year. I’m not telling you this to be smug, I’m telling you this because if I can do it, you can do it too…..okay so I’m a little smug.) Right…so where was I…?

Oh yeah. To celebrate all this newness, I thought I’d do another Finn giveaway. Now you don’t have to follow me or like me or sign up to the thing that is called a newslsetter. All you have to do is leave a comment for me. Hoo is mixing drinks so just let him know your favourite tipple. I’ll draw a winner on the weekend and post here. BTW, the last person who won never claimed their book (KimberlyIndy, if you’re out there, I have a book for you!!) so don’t forget to check if you wanna read it.

Thanks in advance for following me over and I hope you’ll continue to stay! Okay, Hoo. Get mixing them drinks…

Firstly I know this post should go up next week but it’s Christmas and I want to do a giveaway so I’m doing it now. If you would like a copy of my debut book Falling for Finn to test the Ashenden waters (so to speak) before you decide on whether you may like the below ms, I’m giving away a copy to one commenter. And just to make it fairer, the more comments I get the more books I’ll give away. Will draw the winner(s) on Sunday night.

To enter just leave a comment saying ‘yo’. 

Where did the idea for the book come from?

My Samhain editor tweeted that she wanted to see more virgin heroes and Maisey nudged me. I got thinking about why a guy would remain a virgin…et voila. 

 What is the working title of your Book?
 
Working title is Dirty Virgin Hero. Hehe. Or if you’re on Twitter #dirtyeffingvirginhero. ;–)

What genre does your book fall under?

Contemporary romance.

What actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

I wouldn’t. No actors are ever right for my characters. Lame huh? However I do have a Pinterest board here.

What is the one sentence synopsis for your book?

Ugh. Sorry but I’m going to cheat.  Taking Him – Game designer Ellie’s last mission before she leaves the country is to seduce her older brother’s best friend, the man she’s loved for years. But little does she know that construction company owner Hunter has a past darker than the black feathers tattooed on his back and a secret he’ll do anything to keep.

Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

It’ll be published by Samhain in November 2013 and is represented by Helen Breitweiser from Cornerstone Literary.

How long did it take you write the first draft of your manuscript?

Probably about 3-4 weeks.

What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

Um. I don’t really know to be honest. I guess I would compare the screwed-upedness of the hero and the emotional intensity of it with Sylvia Day’s Bared to You.  Except the hero isn’t quite as screwed up as Gideon Cross.

Who or what inspired you to to write this book?

Well, the idea of the virgin hero is something I wanted to write about because you don’t see many books about male sexual shame. It’s an interesting issue and a challenging one to write.

What else about your book might pique a reader’s interest?

A geeky girl game designer, a man with wings on his back, motorcycles, hot construction workers, cosplay, hookers, tattoo parlours, and some hot how’s your father. How’s that for starters?

I’m supposed to tag people now but I’m not sure who has been tagged and who hasn’t so if you haven’t, consider yourself tagged!
