Oh, yes: It’s
time for Blissemas in
July. Please leave a comment with a valid email
address. The grand prize for the blog hop is a $50 All Romance Ebooks voucher,
and I’ll be giving away a .pdf copy of A New Orleans Christmas, or another book
from my backlist.
Living in
Southern California, I’m used to warm weather year-round. Cold-weather: blah.
And, we often can have temperatures as high around Christmas as it gets in
July. I know bah humbug! Until my youngest daughter was born in January, and
wanted a pool party for her birthday, I never got that “Christmas in July” thing.
With a bit of
research, I also found out that countries in the Southern Hemisphere, such as
Australia and New Zealand, experience “winter” climates in July, so they like
to celebrate the cold-weather holiday during our mid-summer. Ah, making even
more sense.
Finally, when
temperatures get totally out of control, and I don’t have access to
conveniences such as air conditioning, there’s nothing like imagining being in
an icy place. What better way to celebrate than with a heart-warming erotic
romance!
Here’s a peek at
my special “holiday” release. It’s a prequel to my paranormal series, The Vampire, The Witch & The Werewolf.
The Vampire & The Werewolf: A New
Orleans Christmas
Louisa Bacio
Vampires and werewolves don’t mix … or do
they?
Before there
were three, there were two. When a vampire swoops in to save Trevor from a
rogue gang’s blood sport, the werewolf must fight his own inhibitions. The
magic of New Orleans and the holiday season bring together these two unlikely
lovers.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
“In her first foray into the m/m genre, Ms.
Bacio sets the pages ablaze in this sexy Christmas tale featuring two
irresistible characters from her The
Vampire, The Witch & The Werewolf series. There’s nothing better
on a cold winter’s night than cozying up with the vampire and the werewolf as
they come together in this sizzling story. This is my Christmas present
to myself.”
Rebecca Leigh,
author of Dirty Housewives
Available via Ravenous
Romance, Amazon

Sadly, we're boring and just celebrate Christmas on December 25th :) Though with the climate in the UK being what it is, we could celebrate in June, sometimes! :)
ReplyDeleteOh so incredibly "boring." ;-) I'm sure you have some fabulous lights up in the UK!
ReplyDeleteWe havent celebrated 'out of season', though as Lucy said, some christmases are fairly warm - we've been more likely to be able to have a walk in light jumpers than make snowmen in recent years, so whilst we celebrate on 25/12, the weather is giving us march or april!

This Blissemas hop has started to inspire me...I think some out-of-season Christmas could be fun. (I'm a northern California gal, so no snow for me either.) I have stumbled onto a lot of Christmas episodes on TV lately, must be a trend!

The only celebrations we celebrate at a different time than scheduled are birthdays. With everyone's crazy schedules we sometimes have to wait a month before we can celebrate. I like the idea of celebrating Christmas in July, much better weather that's for sure. Much less craziness with crowds too. Might have to try this one day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in Blissemas!
