So my novella Hidden is coming out tomorrow at Ellora’s Cave. This book is the first of, hmm at least three total, maybe more, a series entitled Sin City Shifters. I’m at the halfway mark on the second one as we speak.
I’m going to give away one downloadable copy of Hidden to one lucky commenter. Let’s go ahead and start counting the comments today! One comment per day please. Contest will run through Saturday, September 13th. Winner announced on Sunday, September 14th.
Want to read an excerpt? Check it out after the jump!

I have sampled two pumpkin spice lattes this weekend by the way. I even had one yesterday in 90 degree heat. It was delicious. Bring on fall!
Okay the winner of the $10 Starbucks gift card was determined by random.org (love that site). It chose post number seven which is…the bitchy barista! How fitting! The coffee lover won the coffee prize.
Email me at karen.e.erickson @ gmail.com (minus spaces) to claim your prize. Though if I don’t hear from you I’ll shoot you an email. I’m cool like that.
On another note, here’s a photo my daughter took yesterday of a kitten sitting in a flower pot. She did a great job!

I can’t believe I forgot. I was in Target yesterday and went to the Starbucks within (whoever came up with that concept is a genius - Target and Starbucks, all in one? Heaven!). I was ready to order a white chocolate mocha (nonfat, no whip) when I saw the chalkboard sign on the wall…
Pumpkin Spice Lattes Are Back!
Yay! This is my favorite drink. Even though it’s 98 degrees outside, I am now officially in the mood for the Pumpkin Spice Latte like, every day. Forget all the calories, revel in that drink! It’s delicious!
Just because I’m in the mood, I’m giving away a $10 gift card to Starbucks (that’ll get you two grande PSL’s!). All you need to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite Starbucks drink. I will draw one lucky commenter on the evening of Saturday September 6th (contest closes at 5 p.m. pacific time)!
Please leave only one comment to keep the contest fair. Thank you.
Now comment away and share those fave drinks! I love me some Starbucks…
NOTE: CONTEST CLOSED - THANKS TO ALL WHO COMMENTED!

Okay I’m all about the easy. I think that really means I’m lazy but we’ll forget that for the moment right? Thanks…
So yeah, easy. Want to win a downloadable copy of my latest book The Vampire Oracle: Shadow? You do? Okay all you have to do is comment here, today’s post (I’m counting yesterday’s comments too because I’m nice like that). But I’m going to ask you a question. It’s an easy one I promise.
Tell me your favorite vampire book. It can be a series, it can be something old, something new, something obscure - just let me know what you like. What you can recommend. Share the vampire love, so to speak.
That’s it! Answer that question and you’re entered into the drawing. I’ll announce the winner tomorrow here on the blog. So watch for it and good luck!
Personally I’d run like hell if I came across a vampire who looked like that…

Now I’m not a huge sports fan but I had to mention that the Fresno State Bulldogs mens’ baseball team won its first national baseball championship Wednesday night.
Around here it’s kind of a big deal. Fresno has major Bulldog fever. My husband has major Bulldog fever. So we’ve been watching these games the last few nights on edge, watching the team come out of literally nowhere and win this. You gotta feel good watching something like that!
It also makes me want to write a baseball player story. Of course. Cute boys in uniforms? Who wouldn’t?!
The contest is still going on! Remember I’ll be drawing for all prizes and announcing winners on Saturday. Today I’m giving away a $10 gift card to iTunes. ‘Cos what’s summer without some awesome tunes?
But answer this question: Do you enjoy going to sporting events during the summer? Or do you prefer staying home and watching them on TV? Or do you say boo to all sporting events? I have many a fond memory of watching the Fresno Grizzlies (SF Giants farm team) back when they still played at Fresno State…

I’m talking about (and sharing pics) of what we did yesterday over at Naughty & Spice. Here’s a glimpse of what we did:
Comment here or comment over at Naughty & Spice - it all counts! Today’s prize will be a $5 gift card to Starbucks and promo goodies. Who doesn’t love goodies? And coffee? I love it ALL…

What this blog party is all about - the anthology Hot Summer Nights featuring my novella Spontaneous is now available!
So if you comment today I’m giving away one autographed copy of Hot Summer Nights to one lucky person! Yay! (Drawing will be held this Saturday) But you must answer this question:
What book are you most waiting for this summer to come out? Is it already available or are you anxiously awaiting it? Share. Because I wanna know. I’m a book junkie, I’m always looking for a good read.
I like to add to my TBR pile, trust me.

Okay I’m kicking it off! Today through Friday I’m having a blog party to celebrate the PRINT release of Spontanteous, which is part of the Midsummer’s Night Steam anthology. It’ll be available tomorrow - yeah baby yeah! And yes I just channeled Austin Powers there. Hee.
I’ll explain rules and prizes in a minute. First, let’s talk. Tell me what you’re looking for this summer. Relaxin’? Money for gas (don’t get me started - grrrr)? A vacation? A good read? A summer romance?
Share! Your comment today will enter you for a chance to win ONE free download from my backlist, your choice. You can visit my backlist here (all books from my backlist are e-published only - just a reminder).
Now for the rules…
