Unnatural Calamities! Out today and of course, a contest.

I'm going to lift this from my newsletter, but just to be mean provide a tiny incentive for you to sign up for my newsletter, I'm going to remove the recipe. (Subscription link is on the right.)

So about Unnatural  Calamities....HEY! It's on sale today and when Samhain puts out a new book, they reduce the price. So if you want a copy at a lower price, now's the time to buy.

I'm very fond of this story and hope you enjoy it too
Updated: I fixed this link. Every single dang link in that newsletter didn't work. The recipe is fine though.


She has a deft hand with banana flambĂ©…and a touch that sets his body on fire.

Janey knows all too well she looks a wreck. What hard-working chef wouldn’t, operating on three hours of sleep? Stuck in a dull Connecticut town, taking care of her beloved niece, Rachel, Janey spends her days
looking for a job and her nights working high-end catering gigs.

Just her luck, she runs into Mr. Perfect two days past her designated laundry day. And she’s just found out her niece is passing her off as“Mom” to avoid the embarrassment of admitting her real mother, Janey’s identical twin, is serving time.

Despite Janey’s questionable fashion sense and the juicy gossip about her checkered past, venture capitalist Christopher Dunham finds himself drawn to her spark. And warmed by her obvious affection for Rachel, so like what he feels for his own daughter.

When sexy, way-out-of-her-league Toph offers her a business loan, Janey can’t believe her long string of bad luck with bad boys has come to an end. At least, until a blast from her sister’s shady past turns up the heat on their attraction. And sets off a chain of events that could snuff out the flame just as their love starts to come to a boil…

Product Warnings
A comedy of errors, mistaken identity, poor girl meets rich guy, kidnapping at gunpoint, and hot handcuffed sex in a hotel bathtub—and that’s all before lunch.

disclaimer:
The fact that I live in West Hartford, CT, and the story takes place in fictional West Farmbrook, CT, means nothing.

THE CONTEST!
 
I'm giving away a $30 gift certificate to Amazon or Barnes and Noble (winner's choice) plus three Summer Devon titles
also winner's choice. And if you live in the US, you can even choose paper of the books in print. I'll send your hard copies to you -- You'll have to wait until after Christmas though.

To enter, you can:
1.  Leave a comment in this blog. Below this entry works fine.
AND/OR
2. or you can make a comment at twitter or facebook about my my new book (and send me notice that you did at katerothwell@gmail.com -- or just reply to this newsletter)
AND/OR
3. you can blog about the release at your own place. That's fine--be sure to let me know though.

Every time you do one of these things, you get another entry. The contest ends December 20th! So you'll have time to use your gift certificate to buy presents. Winner will be chosen by random pick.

OTHER NEWS! Featuring lots of links!

Two Summer Devon books have come out in print--including the one with the most infamous cover, ever Irrational Arousal

The Nobleman and the Spy

both now in paperback!

Here's the Samhain's December letter
. There's a piece about my holiday decor. After this came out, I learned I'm not the only one with a lobster on the tree.

Tomorrow (December 7) I'll be blogging at Delilah Devlin's place about Unnatural Calamities -- and how I got the idea for the story. I'll be giving away a book or two there, as well. (I can't remember what I promised to do. This is what the holiday season does to some of us.)
