Ready for a Spring Fling?


Hmmm … nothing more delicious than a rejuvenation of life! Welcome to the Spring Fling Blog Hop, which was perfect timing since today’s also the release of my new erotic paranormal romance, Her Wolf Ménage.

There’s a reason why the Spring Equinox was chosen as release day. The “Spring Awakening” plays a role in the novel. If you have time, join my FB party on Thursday, March 20, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. PST for additional fun.

To celebrate, here are the top 5 things I love about Spring:

5). The daffodils – With our warmer temperatures, they’ve already started to bloom.


4). The weather – People think of SoCal as being hot all year round. For us, it definitely gets cold in the winter. Often, we refer to the June Gloom with its overcast murky skies. But spring is perfect.

3). Monarch butterflies – They are pure magic, and a sign that fairies exist. We plant milkweed, which attracts the Monarch caterpillars, so spring equals flying beauty.

2). Spring break – Do you remember that feeling? Having a full week off from school, when you don’t have to think about anything? Oh, it’s bliss. It’s not too bad as a professor, either. (And students think we live to be on campus 24/7. BTW, I like working with students. I’m not one of those jaded professors. But home time is good, too).

1). Making out in the park or on the beach or under the boardwalk – How come as adults, we don’t seem to make out in the public quite as much anymore? Oh, maybe because we have homes (privacy).

Tell me: What’s you favorite thing about Spring? You’ll be entered into my drawing for this lovely goody prize (U.S. shipping only. If it’s an international winner, I’ll give away a $15 Amazon gift card and eat the cookies myself!) Remember to leave a valid email address. (Winner will be chosen on the 24th).

Here's a look at The Vampire, The Witch & The Werewolf: Her Wolf Ménage
 
She seeks adventure

What’s the use of living in a wolf pack when one isn’t a shifter? Jana strikes out from Louisiana’s national forest to New Orleans to find herself, only to discover more questions.

They want the same woman

The moment Jana steps into the French Quarter, Andre pursues the naïve beauty. An artist, he senses the hidden wolf beneath the surface, and her nature calls to him. It’s not until she leaves that long-time friend Dominick realizes what he wants. The two alpha weres must battle it out or learn to share to reach their happy ending.


Available via Amazon, Ravenous, ARe & B&N.

  13. Love your list, Louisa! I'd love to make out under a boardwalk during Spring Break, surrounded by flowers and butterflies. *happy sigh* But my favorite thing about spring is the way the air smells...not quite like flowers, but definitely lighter and sweeter than in winter. :)

    Happy Spring!

  18. Spring means snow drops coming out, the sun shinning for longer in the day time and a feeling of joy that spring is finally here.

  19. For me, Spring means seeing the green grass shoots pushing through the ground, the flowers in my garden opening up with their myriad of colors and being able to sit on my deck and soak up some rays. Being able to go outside without being bundled up to the gills and finally my car being free of salt and dirt. Thank you so much for participating in this Hop. I love finding new authors each and every time.

  26. I live in Fl, so we don't really have a spring season. When I was younger and lived up north, it was the smell and the flowers blooming. :)
    Love your reasons!

  27. We don't have spring here in the Philippines, where we enjoy tropical climate. But I do love spring, because many people enjoy it and feel rejuvenated. Spring comes, and suddenly everyone is so lively. It's a season that brings colour and life and a promise of great things. Like my winning this giveaway. And you will want me to win. Because you get to keep the cookies. (Haha. I'm kidding. Kinda.)

    Thank you for the lovely giveaway. Happy Spring!
