Who Wants Riding Wild?

Wild Riders Series, Writing & Publishing

Berkley sent me a couple advance copies of RIDING WILD. And it’s beeeeyooootiful!!!!

Look!!!

I might just be a bit excited about my book. :giggle:

Anyway, since I have advance copies of the finished book, I’m going to give an autographed copy away.

And since this is a biker book, I want you all to put your fantasy hats on and tell me….if you climbed on the back of a Harley with a hot guy (of if you are a hot guy and you were taking a hot babe on a Harley), where would you go? A ride to the beach? to the mountains? Cross country? A specific state? A ride across Europe? Down the coast of California? Tell me tell me where you’d ride your Harley?

I’ll draw a winner sometime next week.

And don’t forget, Riding Wild releases February 5th. (not that I’m likely to let you forget :giggle:)

Title My Book Winner!!!

My Book Stuff, Writing & Publishing

We have a title! Or rather, Jake and Lucy now have a title.

We’re going to title the book DARE TO LOVE. Don’t you just love it? :heart:

Though I think it was suggested by a few people, the first person to suggest that title was Jennifer Y, so Jennifer, you’re the winner of the $10 Samhain Publishing gift certificate! :cheer:

Email me at jaci at jaciburton. com to claim your prize.

And HUGE thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I narrowed it down to quite a few titles from your list of suggestions and it was really a tough choice to make. Y’all are great at this titling thing. I’m going to remember this in the future because I hate to title my books. :giggle:

I Need Title Help! Prize Involved!

Giveaways, Writing & Publishing

Okay bloggers, you’re always so helpful when I need a title, and I need a title.

I just contracted a new book with Samhain Publishing, and my current title…sucks. So I’ll need to retitle this book, and the well has run dry. This is a contemporary romance. Not erotic. It’s very fun and romantic.

Anyone whose title I choose or who suggest a title close to the final title of the book will win a $10 gift certificate from Samhain Publishing.

Helpppp!!!!

Below is a short working blurb for the story:

Lucy Fairchild, lawyer and heiress to the Fairchild fortune, has just had the worst day of her life. Her father has found the perfect man for her to marry. As if she needed a matchmaker. Yes, she’s thirty and single, but that doesn’t give her father the right to run her life. She’ll choose her own husband—some day.

Jake Dalton is struggling to make his fledgling construction company a success, ever mindful of his father’s derogatory comments that he’d never amount to anything. Jake has spent his entire life trying to prove to himself that he’s not a failure.

Lucy and Jake butt heads from their first meeting at his construction site. She rails at his men for harassing her when she’s merely walking by to get to the coffee shop. He insists they were merely complimenting her. Their argument escalates into a dare for a date—a romantic game of chicken ensues, and both are too stubborn to flinch. The date is on and both have something to prove. To each other, and maybe to themselves. But are they using each other, or are there genuine feelings developing?
