Happy Holiday Monday!

Ok so the extent of my holiday was sleeping in. My daughter kept coming into my bedroom and telling me NOT TO GET UP yet because she was bringing me breakfast in bed. My girly is so sweet and she’s entered this phase where she LOVES to cook. Her father and I have had so much fun letting her do her thing in the kitchen. She’s becoming so independent.

I’ve stayed up late the last several nights working on No Place to Run (Sam’s story and book two in the KGI series) I had company all weekend and I was sick to boot so I went to bed and wrote when it was dark and quiet. Today I’m feeling a little better and I’m propped in my comfy chair working on Sam and Sophie’s story. I have a lingering headache and my tooth still hurts from the root canal, but I took some medicine awhile ago so I think I’ll be up to par soon.

Watch for some very cool giveaways this month to celebrate the release of Sweet Seduction in October. We just had a 30 book giveaway over at the Borders Book Blog. I’m just waiting for them to post the winners so I can get those books shipped off. Coming up at The Book Binge, I’ll be giving away another 20 copies of Sweet Surrender, book 1 in the Sweet Series. Over at Fatin’s blog, I’ll be giving away 10 copies of Sweet Surrender.

And then the week of the 14th -18th of September, I’ll be giving away a TON of ebooks at Writeminded all week long. Hell, if we have too many I’ll just go until we run out heh.

So anyway that’s what I’m doing these days. Working on Sam’s story and dreaming of another really hot cover like I got for Ethan’s. Can I say OMIGOD PLEASE give me another cover as yummy as that one?

Hope everyone is having a terrific holiday Monday!

Book giveaway!

I’m over at the Borders Book Blog, and Berkley is giving away 20 copies of Sweet Surrender, the first book in my Sweet series! It’s a great way to get a free introduction to a really fun series :))

Head over and check it out!

Songbird is here! wooo!

Songbird is now officially on cybershelves everywhere! I have all the info posted just one post down and you can read an excerpt on my website. It’s hard to say how this story came about. It just sort of popped into my head. A what if scenario, and it all went from there. It was a very difficult story to write in that I obsessed over parts. I had to get them just right. The emotion had to be just right. The love and the lovemaking had to be just right.

I whined and bitched and moaned. I bellyached to my editor (She’s used to this lol) I didn’t think it would ever come together just how I wanted. But in the end, it was a story about love. Heartrending, beautiful and constant. It began with love and it ended with love. I just hope readers are as satisfied with Emily’s journey home as I was.

Up and coming in September

First of all, we’re just two days away from the release of Songbird!

They called her their Songbird, but she was never theirs. Not in the way she wanted.

The Donovan brothers meant everything to Emily, but rejected by Greer and Taggert, she turned to Sean the youngest. He married her for love, and she loved him, but she also loved his older brothers.

Her singing launched her to stardom. She had it all. The voice of an angel, a husband who loved her, and the adoration of millions. Until a tragedy took it all away.

Taggert and Greer grieve for their younger brother, but theyâ€™re also grieving the loss of Emmy, their songbird. They take her back to Montana, determined to help her heal and show her once and for all they want her. Theyâ€™re also on a mission to help her find her voice again. Under the protective shield of their love, she begins to blossomâ€¦ until an old threat resurfaces.

Now the Donovans face a fight for what they once threw away. Only by winning itâ€”and her loveâ€”will their songbird fly again.

Also coming up in September. Look for me around the web as me and Berkley are giving away a TON of copies of Sweet Surrender. And September 14-18th I’ll be hosting a week long ebook giveaway fest at Writeminded. If you love ebooks, this is THE place to be that week. It’s going to be way fun and readers will be given the opportunity to win lotso books from some really terrific authors.

Review copies of Sweet Seduction

Hi, all my ARCs are spoken for. Thanks so much for the great response!

I have a limited number of ARCs of Sweet Seduction after my mailings and giveaways and I’m going to offer them to reviewers or bloggers with the condition that they are willing to offer commentary on the book (good or bad!) on or around the release date of Oct 1. Really, I’m not picky. I don’t police these sorts of things. It’s not often I ask for anything in return when giving out ARCs, but since I just have a few left, I figure a good litmus for who receives them will be that I get a commentary of sorts in return.

Sound fair? If you’re interested, drop me an email at mayaATmayabanks.com

Please note, as I’ve said, I have a limited number left so it’s not possible to give them out to everyone who wants one. I’m sorry for that. In a perfect world, I’d have an endless supply But I don’t so alas, those are the breaks.

Please don’t list your address in the comments. If interested, email me at the above listed email address. Thanks!

The Winnahs!

Ok guys, wow a lot of you entered. I’m only sorry I don’t have more ARCs! Without further ado, here is the list of winners. Remember, you have until Midnight SATURDAY night, that’s August 22nd, to claim your ARC. Send an email with your snail mail addy to mayaATmayabanks.com I’m sorry to say if I don’t hear from you by then, you forfeit your ARC.
