I’m offering two prizes.
For writers, I’m offering an in-depth first chapter critique. For the reader, a free PDF of my Dangerous Temptation Preview. All you have to do, is leave a comment with your preferred email address.
Here’s a small snippet for you from chapter five of the revised version of my preview.
—
She’d never been held so close while dancing before. It felt good to be held again, even by a stranger. Kaitlin closed her eyes. Something felt familiar about him, as if she’d met him before despite that she’d never seen him till tonight.
How odd.
Maybe Cadmon wanted a young debutante to hang off his arm. She scowled. It might explain why he’d chosen her to talk to out of all the more sophisticated women in attendance. Or maybe it was because she was Ean’s cousin?
“You always this evasive? Kaitlin opened her eyes, and stared into his. Deep set, leaf green, with a bright gold star-burst around the pupil, and a darker green rim around the iris. She noted his aristocratic eyebrows. His hair had an orange undertone, with sorrel highlights. If she ran her fingers through it, would it be stiff like straw, or smooth like a model’s hair?

This hop is opening my eyes to so many new writers that I am adding to my wish list. I better get about $1000 worth of gift cards this year just so I can get all the books I want.

Hi Teresa. It’s hard to keep track how many blogs you’ve been to, sometimes. Thanks for stopping by. Merry Christmas, and Happy new year to you as well. 🙂 Enjoy the hop. 🙂
I would love to have you critique a chapter in my story. I am just learning to write. I never knew how hard it can be to show and not tell my story.
I really enjoy the holiday season. I enjoy the smells, the food and lights. Oh and the music too. Not much into baking anymore. But I do enjoy tasting, ask my scales. Tee Hee. Great blog. roya-clan@sbcglobal.net
Hi Mary. Thanks for stopping by.
Fair warning: My crits tend to be blunt {though I do take time to explain why I make those suggestions}. Enjoy the hop and good luck. Merry Christmas. 🙂
Actually what could be worst then someone telling me I need to go back to school for english grammar? I do know that I have work on it. But I’d like to think the comments make me better. Beside, I always make sure I have lots of chocolate beside me when I read the critique. (smile).
Grammar is only the beginning. With I do an In-depth crit, I go for characterization, plot, over all flow of the story, pacing, and anything you mention feels like it isn’t working right. I get as thorough as I can. XD
Perfect giveaway for the Holidays! 🙂

What an awesome hop!! And a fantastic giveaway! Thank you!! We dont do gifts anymore. Ruined the holidays and caused too much fighting. Now, we make dinner, grab a bunch of snacks, we watch movies, tell stories, play games, listen to music. I love how we celebrate! 🙂 Happy holidays to you all! Best wishes and many blessings!
