Spring Fling Blog Hop

Welcome to my page! I'm so happy that you have decided to stop by. I have something extra special to share with readers! Today, I'm excited to reveal the cover for my next short story, Island Bride, to be released April 22, 2014.

This contemporary romance is a funny, heart-felt look into the life of Amy Oliver, a wedding planner to the rich and famous. Amy isn't the kind of woman to take a break even on a vacation. No, business first and then comes pleasure—or maybe not—she’d have to check her schedule.The only solace Amy ever finds comes from the pages of books and her friends within her book club, but when they lose one of their members they decide to check traveling off of their bucket lists. When Amy selects to take a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to New Zealand, she finds herself using the trip to put her career first. But when life gets in the way of her work, she is forced to decide whether to follow the path of least resistance or forge a new path--a path that may lead to heartache as easily as love. What is a driven woman to do?What is the best vacation you have ever taken? Was it for business or pleasure? Are you a workaholic like Amy or a take-life-as-it-comes type of person?For my giveaway, I'm going to be offering a special gift package filled with a paperback copy of Christmas Romance and tons of swag!

Naughty No No's Blog Hop

As romance lovers it can easily be assumed that we love those moments in life when our heart says YES, but our mind says No No!  Whether it is falling for the wrong man, or the right man at the wrong time (as in the short story Christmas Wishes--published September 25, 2013) there is something so tasty about the prospect of the forbidden! What do you love that is forbidden (or at least a little naughty)? 

Here is my list of TOP 5 Naughty No-No's:

5. I'm new to the world of getting a tattoo. (What can I say, I missed it in my teens and 20s, but now that I check the new decades box I find that I want something that illustrates exactly who I am and what I believe!) Since getting my first I find that I want to keep going. People aren't kidding when they say it's addictive!

4. Reading late into the night. I find that, with a good book, I have little respect for tomorrow.

3. Wine is my nemesis. In fact, I would say Moscato is my favorite color. My only hope is that people are telling the truth when they say wine is linked to a decrease in heart disease--at least that way I can tell them I'm only concerned with my health!

2. I LOVE truffles... Not low-fat, low-cal, cardboard-flavored skinny things like I should... no.. I love the melt-in-your-mouth straight-to-your-hips truffles!

1. I may be married, but I'm not dead.... In my household, we call the men I look at 'research models'. It is a hard life to have to look at the best looking men in the world and pick the best of the best, but I will take one for womankind. Today, this is my favorite. What do you think? Hot or not? Or, better yet, who is your favorite hottie (he may show up on the official Danica Winters Fan Page!)

When The Sparks Fly Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping by my blog today for the When the Sparks Fly Blog Hop.

I'm sorry I have been so quiet as of late, but I have been busy behind the scenes.  So what have I been doing you ask?

Recently, Montana Mustangs was released in e-book and The Nymph's Labyrinth was released in paperback!

Just last week, my third book in the Nymph Series, Winter Swans, was accepted by Crimson Romance. It is slated to be released October 14, 2013. I couldn't be happier!

I've been writing another series for the last year and on the first of July I sent it to my agent to start the submissions process with the large publishing houses.

I have my fingers crossed that this new series will be available next year as a mass market paperback as well as in e-book format (I'd love for you to get your fingers crossed as well, my friends).

I'm hoping to get more short stories written this summer for those of you who have been asking!

And as always, I have been busy teaching classes and helping aspiring authors. So, if you have questions please feel free to connect with me through Facebook or Twitter!

What have you been busy doing this summer?
