The Dark Divine by Bree Despain trailer and contest

Bree Despain, author of The Dark Divine, is holding a contest at her blog where you can win up to 11 books for helping her book trailer get a ton of hits. It is pretty fabulous so take a watch then head over to her blog. I am really excited to read The Dark Divine!

About the Dark Divine

A Prodigal Son
A Dangerous Love
A Deadly Secret

Grace Divine—daughter of the local pastor—always knew something terrible happened the night Daniel Kalbi disappeared and her brother Jude came home covered in his own blood.

Now that Daniel's returned, Grace must choose between her growing attraction to him and her loyalty to her brother.

As Grace gets closer to Daniel, she learns the truth about that mysterious night and how to save the ones she loves, but it might cost her the one thing she cherishes most: her soul.

EDITED TO ADD:
Enna Isilee over at Squeaky Books is having a contest giving away Bree Despain's The Dark Divine! Head on over to Ennalee's blog (Click Here) to find out how to win. In the meantime, check out this awesome trailer for the book!

SEA by Heidi R. King

In finally getting back in to my blog and seeing what new books are out there I realize how much I have missed out on, particularly in the way of awesome new books I want to read. One of them is SEA by Heidi R. King. Check out the trailer (fantastic right?) and then head over to Heidi's website for a pretty awesome contest.

Readergirlz & Elizabeth Scott rock my socks

Just two random things I am packaging together in one post. The thing they have in common. They rock my socks!

Readergirlz Rock The Drop!
This week's challenge: Post about how you plan to Rock the Drop on your blog, in a bulletin, on twitter, etc. Spread the word about Operation TBD, and tell us how you're doing it!

My mother works at a hospital (and it is a fabulous nurse) and I am always giving her books to bring in and give to patients. Especially the thrillers I pick up at tag sales in the summer. I read them in an afternoon and then send them to the hospital for others to enjoy. It only costs me a quarter a book and it is fun.


Elizabeth Scott
The always amazing Elizabeth Scott is asking her readers to help spread the word about Something, Maybe and the Out Of This World contest! and I am happily playing along.

Something, Maybe was released March 24 and I can't wait to read it. If you buy it make sure to send proof to Elizabeth and be entered to get your very own star. Details here: Out Of This World contest.

And a little something about the book:
Want to win a star? Yes, a real star! Well, all you have to is enter Elizabeth Scott's Something, Maybe Out Of This World contest!

Here's how you enter:

1. Buy a copy of Something, Maybe, which is available at your favorite local bookstore and also at Wal-Mart and save the receipt.

2. Take a picture of the receipt and then send the picture to elizabethscottcontest@gmail.com

3. Once Elizabeth gets the picture of your receipt, you'll be entered into the Out Of This World contest!

Here are the prizes:

First Prize: A star (If you read the book, you'll know why this is the first prize, and not only will you get your very own star--you'll even get to name it, and it is your star FOREVER!)

Second Prize: Two people will each get a $25 gift certificate to the bookstore of their choice

Third Prize: Three people will a signed copy of any of Elizabeth's current novels--including the upcoming Love You Hate You Miss You

Again, all you have to do to enter is buy Something, Maybe and send a picture of your receipt to elizabethscottcontest@gmail.com

This is where I came to discover her but she has her very own blog as well and on her blog there is a super cool contest for super cool prizes which you need to go enter. The only catch: you have to tell her I sent you!

Her book The Dark Divine will be out in 2010. Here is a summary from the 2010 blog.
Grace Divine, daughter of the local pastor, always knew something terrible happened the night Daniel Kalbi disappeared--the night she found her brother Jude collapsed on the porch, covered in blood--but the monstrous secret of what really transpired resurfaces when Daniel returns, three years later, and enrolls in Grace and Jude's small Christian high school.

Despite promising Jude she'll stay away, Grace cannot deny her attraction to Daniel's shocking artistic abilities, his way of getting her to look at the world from new angles, and the strange, hungry, glint in his eyes. The closer Grace gets to Daniel, the more she jeopardizes her life, and the lives of her enitre family, as her actions stir the ancient evil Daniel unleashed that horrific night. Grace must discover the truth behind Daniel and Jude's dark secret, and the way to save the ones she loves. But she may have to lay down the ultimate sacrifice to do it--her soul.

So go enter and tell her I sent you!
