Thanks Lois for the invitation to tell you about my book.

I have LEASHED for sale at .99, the first book in my Going to the Dogs series. Here’s a short blurb:

And they call it puppy love!

When Jack falls head-over-paws for cute and cuddly Jill next door — that creamy coat, those soft brown eyes, and, yowza, those long legs, he simply cannot help himself. Bing, bang, boom, a few weeks later, Jack has some ‘splaining to do when that cute female is with puppies. Jack’s going to be a father, trouble is his lady love’s owner and his owner need a little shove into love. Being a large and in-charge Great Dane, that’s no problem for Jack. With a little cooperation and a little matchmaking, some nudging, whining and puppy dog eyes, hopefully, everyone will live happily ever after together.

Thanks for spotlighting the book buffet and inviting us to post about our books! Here's my $.99 sale book - HONOR CODE

n a small southern town where everyone knows each other's business, veteran detective Larry Robbins must solve the disappearance of eighty-year-old widower George Beason.

When evidence arises that Beason may have left town on his own, it would be easy for Robbins to close the case, but his gut instinct tells him more's at stake. As he uncovers clues about Beason's deceased wife and his estranged daughter, Robbins must untangle conflicting motives and hidden agendas to bring Beason home alive.

Many thanks, Anastasia, for letting us highlight the books we have on the Bouquet of Books sale! May the ghost of Shakespeare send fertile dreams to your imagination!
My two 99c books in the sale are both science fiction with elements of romance:
The Trial of Tompa Lee -- Abandoned to cruel alien injustice, only Tompa's enemies (including a hunky policeman) can save her.
The Midas Rush -- All Tresky Buffrum wants is a taste of adventure. He finds instead a mysterious virgin bride and aliens who are either gods ... or demons.

Thanks for having us, Lois! I am participating in the 99-cent sale with my contemporary romance, Cupid’s Mistake:

Party-girl Allison Kelly has it all–great friends, a flourishing business, and an active sex life. She’s beautiful, busy and blissfully fulfilled, with no time or inclination for a relationship. But life has been anything but a party for Benjamin Turner. Orphaned at fifteen, widowed at twenty-three, he traveled the world on self-imposed exile, but he couldn’t outrun the loneliness eating away his soul.

He’s looking for stability. She wants a good time. Will Cupid’s arrow find its mark this Valentine’s Day, or will their pairing prove to be Cupid’s biggest mistake?

Check out all the great contemporary romances on the Book Lover’s Buffet! http://bookloversbuffetdotcom.wordpress.com/contemporary/
