* But that's not all... There are THREE grand prizes. You as a reader can go to EACH blog and comment with your email address and be entered to win. Yep, you can enter over 200 times!
*Now what are those prizes?
*** 1st Grand Prize: A Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet *** (a US & International prize)
*** 2nd Grand Prize: A $100 Amazon or B&N Gift Card *** (a US & International prize)
*** 3rd Grand Prize: A Swag Pack that contains paperbacks, ebooks, 50+ bookmarks, cover flats, magnets, pens, coffee cozies, and more! *** (a US prize only)
* I'll also be giving away a prize! One lucky commenter will be drawn and can choose one PDF from these choices: Wild West Weekend or Wild West Hauntings. All you'll have to do to be entered for the grand prize drawings and mine is go to the first day's post on Feb. 8 (click here for ease --->http://doubledranchtales.blogspot.com/2013/02/heartbreaker-bl0g-h0p-day-1.html, comment by answering the questions I'll be asking shortly and leave your name and email address. Easy peasy! :)
* So heartbreakers... The Urban Dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com) defines a heartbreaker as: 1. one who screws you over, is mean to you, and gave you hope but ripped it away either quickly or slowly over a long period of heartbreaking time - usually the one you are most in love with and think you need... 2. A person who can break hearts easily. Because they are so beautiful everyone wants them, but not everyone can have them.; An affectionate way to say somebody is adorable or good looking.; Somebody who breaks or hurts peoples hearts/emotions - "Aww aren't you just the heartbreaker" followed by the pinching of cheeks. The dictionary had more but IMO I felt the first two summed up my thoughts on the matter. Heartbreakers don't necessarily have to be a boy/girlfriend or potential boy/girlfriend they could be anyone you thought you could count on and then found out your couldn't. I've known all kinds...family and friends who promised things then flaked out; the boyfriend whom I was head over heels for and broke my heart; the cute kids who are termed heartbreakers. So the questions ~ Do you think heartbreakers are just bad boys/girls who can turn into the best heroes/heroines around? Or can they be anybody?
* Please answer those quesitons in the comments section of Day 1's post (see link for it above) and don't forget to leave your name and email to be entered in the fabulous drawings! Also, for more chances to win, be sure to visit and comment at the other blogs. The link to find those blogs is listed below. For information on the books I'm offering up, feel free to browse around this blog. :)
* Best of luck!

Last chance to vote for us at LR Cafe's Best of 2012 polls... ( @rmsotera @Dawn_Roberto @evernightpub #SO )

RM Sotera & I are excited and honored to have Wild West Hauntings be nominated via Love Romances Cafe & Dawn Roberto for Best Western/Cowboys Book in LR Cafe's Best of 2012! **tosses confetti** Voting is now open so we'd appreciate your support and vote!

LRC’s ‘Best of 2012’ Voting Information as per Dawn (Any questions email Dawn at dawn_roberto@yahoo.com with “Voting Questions” in subject line please.)
* Voting begins on January 10th at NOON PM EST (USA) and goes to January 18th, 2013 on the LR Café yahoo group.
* Voting will be on the LR Café’s Poll page. The link to that page is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LoveRomancesCafe/polls
* No Early Voting will be allowed! Anyone who votes early before Noon EST on Jan. 10th will have their vote uncounted.
* One vote for each person and you must be a member of the LR Café Yahoo Group to vote.
* You can join at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/loveromancescafe
* ONE VOTE PER PERSON (Dawn can’t keep tabs on all the names, but she can make it harder for you not to cheat.)
* Announcement of winners will be on January 20th, 2013 at 1 pm est (USA Time) on the LR Café Loop. All winners are final.
* DO NOT bother to exclaim who is winning in what category. The staff at LR&M Reviews will be doing their voting privately and just because so & so is in the lead DOES NOT mean they won. All Winners are final when Dawn says so, not any Tom, Dick or Harry on the web.
* Anyone, and Dawn does mean ANYONE, caught announcing they won before she formally announces the winners are automatically disqualified. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Until Dawn tallies all the votes, no one has won until she formally announces it. So, as Dawn says: put a muzzle on it people.

Wild West Hauntings is available in all popular eBook formats at Evernight Publishing

A big thanks to all our readers!
C.R. & RM
