End of Summer GIVEAWAYS!!!

Hello, everyone!  I don't know about you, but I'm glad summer is winding down.  I live in Texas, and there's only so much heat a body can take!

I'm moving soon, and am trying to clear off some of my shelves to make packing easier.  To that end, I thought it might be nice to have an end of summer giveaway!  I've got copies of most of my books up for grabs, so scroll down and check things out.  Enter one giveaway or enter them all--it's up to you! (US only, please.)

As always, happy reading!

3 copies of DEADLY CONTACT

It's a race against time—and a fatal outbreak—in this thriller of a debut 

In one passionate night Special Agent James Reynolds and scientist Kelly Jarvis went from friends to lovers. Then Kelly walked away with only an apology. Now James is charged with solving a bioterrorist attack—and Dr. Jarvis works at the suspected lab. 

Is Kelly an accomplice or a victim? Just what are her secrets that drove her from James's bed? Soon one thing becomes clear: The ghosts of her past have nothing on the terrorists targeting her and Washington, D.C. Another threat bathes the city in red alert, and now there are lives at stake, in addition to hearts….

Torn between duty and desire, two strangers must risk all for love 

Nuclear physicist Dr. Claire Fleming has one rule: never get close to anyone. But when her colleague is murdered and she's targeted next, she must place all her trust in FBI agent Thomas Kincannon. Soon Claire forgets her tenet as she fantasizes about Thomas's touch. 

Thomas is wildly attracted to Claire. But his life and his job are too complicated for any romantic entanglements. Despite this, they share a mind-blowing kiss, and there's no turning back. When Thomas's niece is abducted, the stakes become dangerously higher as Claire insists he trade her for the child. Somehow, Thomas must find a way to rescue his family and protect the woman who let her protective walls down just for him.

Fast or slow?

So here's a question for you all: say there's a book coming out that you've been looking forward to reading for a long time.  You buy it right away, of course, but what happens after that?  Do you clear your schedule and start reading, or do you wait, putting off starting the book until you can give it your undivided attention?

I'm the latter type of reader.  When there's a book I really want to read, I will stalk the bookstore and snatch it off the shelf before the employees can even stock it.  But once I get it home, I am reluctant to crack the spine and get started.  I think it has something to do with the anticipation--if I don't start reading it right away, I still have something to look forward to.  I can still imagine what's going to happen in the story, and I can view the book as a reward--"After I do this, I can read my new book."

As a consequence, I'm rarely caught up on the latest in a series, which means I have to do my best to avoid spoilers (which is a whole other topic!).  But that's okay. There's something nice about relaxing into a book I've been thinking about for a long time.  After all, you only get to read it for the first time once, and I like to savor that first read rather than race through it.  Know what I mean?

What's your routine when it comes to a new book?  Do you dive right in or wait until the right moment?

Chemistry and Danger combine in Killer Exposure!

******GIVEAWAY ALERT******

Hi everyone!  I'm thrilled to be here today for the release of my 4th book, KILLER EXPOSURE! This is the story of Hannah Baker, a mild-mannered chemistry professor who gets caught up in a web of lies and danger when Houston police detective Owen Randall asks for her help solving a series of murders.  Here's the back cover blurb:

This book was a lot of fun to write, because like Hannah, I too am a college professor.  I teach microbiology rather than chemistry, and I definitely don't get into as much trouble as she does, but I had a good time drawing from some personal experiences while I worked on this book.

Another thing that made this book fun is that it's my first book set in Texas!  I lived in Houston for a couple of years before moving back to the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and as soon as I started working on this book, I knew it had to be set in Houston. It's such a big city with so many possibilities--how could I resist?

I hope you guys have a good Friday!  Be sure to come back tomorrow for another post--I'm holding 3 DAYS OF GIVEAWAYS, so make sure you enter each one to maximize your chances of winning! :)

Up for grabs is a print copy of KILLER EXPOSURE!  Use the Rafflecopter form below to enter--US only please.
