#26 on Fictionwise and other Selena Blake News

Posted in News on December 1st, 2008 by Selena

I have all sorts of news to share this week so I’ll try to be brief.

1. The Stormy Weather series is finally making it’s way to Fictionwise (and other eVendors) and The Cajun’s Captive is currently #26 on the Erotica list. How awesome is that!? I hope that all of you with the Club Membership will take advantage of the reduced rate and try the series out. Bitten In the Bayou (book 2) is currently #38 and so far ratings for both books have been great! Start shopping: www.fictionwise.com/eBooks/selenablakeeBooks.htm?cache

2. My fellow authors and I are hosting a launch party tomorrow night (Dec. 2nd at 9pm EST) and we really hope you’ll join us. We have a wondeful new series to introduce you to, and some really fabulous (and did I mention drool worthy?) characters as well. We’ll be awarding the first contest winner from our ongoing contest at TheBlindBet.com and if you drop by you might win other prizes as well. :) Be here: catanetwork.com/chat.html and bring a friend.

3. My next release, The Wine Tasting, comes out this Friday. It’s the second book in the series I mentioned above, Stolen. Here’s the blurb:

Seven thieves. Seven days. Seven priceless items.

Only one will be crowned the best of the best.

Braxton Hughes knows he’s the best of the best. But a bet with six other extraordinary thieves gives him a chance to prove it.  His task is to steal an incredibly rare bottle of wine and he only has seven days to do it.

During an evening of routine of surveillance he meets Elise Savade. Brax has always prided himself on his self control but one look at the elegant French woman in the slinky midnight blue gown and he’s thinking more about seducing her than finding his prize. Soon Elise shows him that wine cellars aren’t just for tasting wine.

Read an excerpt: site.selena-blake.com/bookshelf/the-wine-tasting/ and visit: www.cobblestone-press.com on Friday for your copy.

4. If you’re looking for a gift this holiday season, don’t forget that books are great for everyone on your list. And no, I don’t mean my books. I wouldn’t want to be responsible for grandma’s heart attack. But take a stroll through a book store and mark a few folks off your list at the same time.

5. Speaking of gifts, you deserve one! CataNetwork is hosting a Very Happy Holidays contest and I’m offering up a prize. You won’t want to miss this awesome giveaway. 32 authors, dozens of prizes. Sound good? Enter here: docs.google.com/View?docID=df4wwg6h_117g6vzdcf7&revision=_latest

6. Two new books on my to be read list are Seize The Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon (just as soon as I can get my hot little hands on a copy) and Fantasy, an anthology starring Christine Feehan. I’ll let you know what I think later in the month.

7. As always, you’re welcome to drop by my website (site.selena-blake.com/), sign my guestbook (site.selena-blake.com/guestbook/), sign up for my mailing list (site.selena-blake.com/newsletter/), or email me at selenablake@gmail.com. Reader mail makes my day!

Stay Sexy,

Not really… just listened to the song. Cute and dance worthy. Kate Perry reminds me of Pink… in a Pin-Up’s body.
