Sympathy for the Devil

Wow! I'm so happy to be here!* We're only in the second week of January so far, and it's already shaping up to be a fantastic year. I had the privilege of meeting a few of the Angels at the Georgia Romance Writers' conference in 2011 and what a fabulous group of women. But then, you probably already know that. *grin* I'm honored to be counted among them.

To explain the post title - all I could think of when I tried to come up with one was the Rolling Stones song by that name. As it says, "Please allow me to introduce myself..." Bonus points if you got the reference before I said anything. :D

Right, so, y'all don't know me. Yet. I don't want to just do a litany of "About Me stuff", because, really, what fun is that? Instead, I thought I'd play a game. It's called Two Truths and a Lie. Two of the next three paragraphs will be true. See if you can figure out which one is not. As an added incentive, I'm going to be giving away two free books (one with a short story of mine in it, and one by Eloisa James!). 

1. Traveling is a favorite pastime of mine, and I love visiting other places. I've seen many of the major attractions of the United States, and I've been to five European countries.

2. All that traveling has allowed me to perfect my language skills. Including English, I speak six languages fluently: English, Hungarian, Spanish, French, Italian, and Russian.

3. The day my daughter was born, six men (not doctors) saw me naked, the hospital staff mistook me for Katie Holmes, and I labored for less than six hours.

So which of these are true, and which is the lie? All correct guesses will be placed in a drawing for a free copy of Dancing in the Dark: An Erotica Anthology (available in either digital or print). Winner will be randomly selected by Random.org on Thursday, January 12, midnight EST.

What is your most outlandish (true) story? My favorite answer will win a print copy of Eloisa James' A Kiss at Midnight. 

Don’t forget to leave your email address in your comment so we can notify you if you won! Winners will also be announced on Friday, January 13.

*Fair warning: I really am excited enough to use exclamation points on a regular basis. I will not apologize for it.

And because I also love music, here's a video for the song in the post title.

All I Want for Christmas Giveaway #2

Hello everyone and welcome to the next two days of giveaways! Here's what I want to know: What is the worst Christmas gift you've ever received?

As a kid, I remember receiving a brown sweater. What's wrong with that you ask? Well, I didn't want to wear it because it was the color of poo and I was afraid of being teased by the kids at school. As an adult, I think the worst gift I ever received was...SOAP! (I apologize to all those little gymnasts and their parents who thought it was a good gift.) To me, soap is kind of personal, like underwear. You see, I'd never go to Victoria's Secret and purchase undies for a friend because of a thing called PERSONAL PREFERENCE! In my mind, different people like different scents so purchasing soap is kind of a crap shoot. Perhaps to the purchaser of said gift, it doesn't really matter because soap can be relatively inexpensive. But people have different skin sensitivities and some soaps can leave your skin dry and flaky if it's not the right kind for you.

Plus, if you're not purchasing those little $5 gift baskets from your local Wal-mart and going to places like The Body Shop, Lush or Bath and Body Works then you're shelling out big bucks on the hopes they'll like what you pick. I'm guilty of giving soap as a gift too (hangs head), and hoping that the smile the receiver pastes on their face is because they like it and not because it stinks! Because not all citrus scents are zestfully refreshing, some flowers should've stayed in the field, and - WHAT THE HECK IS THAT SMELL?

I really don't mean to complain. A lot of soap is packaged ever so pretty. Some of them are such vibrant colors and interesting shapes. When someone takes the time to at least remember you in a small way, it's a wonderful thing. And I have received some soap I absolutely loved. Any  I didn't like, I let my kids use, or I use it to keep my dresser drawers fresh. (Don't look at me weird - my grandma did that all the time!)

Okay - now it's your turn! What is the worst gift you've ever received? Tell us in a comment below, leave your email addy and you'll win.........not soap. LOL I've got a copy of Bridget Jones' Diary to give away and if you have that, I've got loads of other stuff you can choose from! And while you're here, please follow our blog and you can find us on twitter @AssCheekAngels  :)

Beach Love was our winner from the 1st days of giveaways! Congrats :)

Happy Holidays! Kellie Kamryn
