Christian & Rose's Character Trailer

Alright everyone, I promised a BIG announcement today, but first, watch this character trailer to help you get into the right frame of mind!

Man, I love Christian and Rose, and I hope you do too because the BIG announcement is...


Christian and Rose's back story ~ Roses & Thorns ~ A Rose Trilogy Short Story, will be available March 6, 2012. 


I'd been planning to write their story at the end of the trilogy, but was so thrilled when I was asked to bump it up! This short story will recap when Rose and Christian first met, and the three months they spent building the relationship that will hopefully see them through the tough times they face.


However, due to this unexpected yet joyous development, books two and three of The Rose Trilogy will be pushed back to release at later dates. (Please see the new publishing dates on The Rose Trilogy's page above.)


I hope that you enjoy Christian and Rose enough to want to get to know them better and see how their relationship began.

Blog Tour Kickoff: Treasure Hunt & Giveaway Information

Happy New Year! Let the fun begin. Today is my BLOG TOUR KICKOFF!! Woohoo!


Below is all the information you'll need to know about the Treasure Hunt and the Grand Prize Giveaway!


First, let's talk about the prizes. The winner of the Grand Prize Giveaway will win one of everything included below:

A bookmark,

 a magnet, a key chain, a  notebook/journal,

a coffee cup,






an autographed notecard,

AND...an autographed copy of my book!














Now for the Treasure Hunt rules:


Starting tomorrow on each blog stop there will be a graphic of a SMOKING WHITE ROSE. (Use the tour schedule, which you can find by clicking the blog tour button at the top of the left sidebar, to follow along. Just click on the links for each day.) You'll need to find the roses and take note of how many there are and where you are at the time. (P.S. It wouldn't hurt to follow their blogs while you're there...they are all amazing!)


Click on the SMOKING ROSE image to link to my contact page. Once there, leave me a comment and tell me how many smoking roses you found and where you found them. (i.e.; "Today I found 3 smoking roses at The Book Nympho.") 


This comment will qualify you for the giveaway!


On January 28th, I will be posting a questionnaire here on my blog. The first person to answer all the questions correctly, and who has already qualified by finding all the roses - WINS!!! It's pretty simple, but if you have any questions please leave a comment below and I'll make sure to clear up any confusion.


Thank you all for playing along! I can't wait for you to meet Rose and Christian and hopefully have some fun while you're at it! 


As a matter of fact...why don't you meet you them now! Scent of a White Rose is NOW available in eBook format on Amazon and B&N. The paperback version will still be released on January 10th, but for all those impatient people with eReaders...your wait is over.

at Barnes & Noble


Also - make sure to check back here tomorrow as I will be revealing Christian and Rose's Character trailer, and making a BIG surprise announcement!
