Thursday’s Thirteen: Windswept Shores’s first Anniversary
This Friday is the first anniversary of my book, Windswept Shores, as a published book.
Thirteen reasons why you should buy my book, Windswept Shores.
1. It’s awesome and I’m not saying that because I’m the author.
Oh yeah, I am too.
2. The hero is an Aussie and has a sexy accent.
What’s better than that?
3. It has a spunky heroine.
4. It’s set in the Bahamas, which is a sexy, fun in the sun local.
5. The setting is a romantic deserted island. No people so they can go naked.
Did I mention its in the Bahamas?
6. Its not all fun and games when they go against–Wild cannibal boars with sharp tusks.
7. Meat eating crabs
8. Attacking sea birds
9. Dangerous brittle trees?
Yes, you heard me. The trees are dangerous too.
10. Two strangers living in close proclivity who fight against their growing attraction for each other.
11. But of course they loose that fight or it wouldn’t be a romance.
12. When they finally do get together the sex is red hot.
13. Hey! Hot SEX on the beach!
***Contest announcement***

All great reasons why everyone should buy Windswept Shores, but the main reason is, it’s a great read.

Hi Connie,
Thank you so much.

It’s been a year?! That’s wonderful! I’m so pleased for you. Have you ever been to the Bahamas? I’m considering a trip like that this fall. Best wishes! And I love a cool drawing. Here’s my email address: darlamsands@gmail.com
Hi Darla,
Thank you. Nope, never been to the Bahamas, but I did a great deal of research. My editor said my story made her feel like she was there, and she had been there.
If you go make sure you have either the spiny lobster or conk. Both are only found in the Bahamas and are, I hear, very tasty.

All 13 fantastic reasons…Congrats on the anniversary….
Hi Savannah,
Thank you so much.

Congrats on the anniversary! An Aussie hero with a sexy accent sounds just perfect! (I’m picturing Chris Hemsworth)…On a deserted beach…Oh, my….
Hi Sandy,
Thank you. Hmm, now you got me curious, I’ll have to look Chris Hemsworth up.

Sounds like a great read!
Hi Suzanna,
Thank you for saying so.

I quote Linus from the peanuts gang. “Those are good reasons.”
Seriously though who could argue with reasons like that? I’m always looking for new authors to read so that’s just my own reason for eventually picking this book up!
Congrats on the anniversary! Wishing you good luck with your other novels!

Hi Gabrielle,
Thank you so much for the compliment. If and when you buy my book, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed reading it.
Janice~
You forgot to mention the awesome cover! Sounds like a great read.
Hi Skylark,
Thank you. I won the cover in a cover contest at Pink Petal Books and I’m very proud of it.
Janice~
Congrats and Happy Anniversary!
Wow. This sounds so good! I can
honestly say I’ve been to the beautiful
Bahama’s. Just not long enough.:(
My H won a 3 day cruise to the
Bahama’s in 2000. But by the time you
get there and come back the same day.
Just not long enough….*S*
I would dearly love to win your book…*S*
Thank you for the chance to win it!
