Happy April, everyone!

This month my publisher, Grand Central Publishing, is launching a new digital imprint, Forever Yours, (which is who my Lords of Deliverance Compendium will be published through,) and to celebrate, I'm going to do a giveaway!

* First place winner will get a tote bag and swag, plus a copy of Supernatural (since Lethal Rider will be releasing in just a month and a half, and the story in Supernatural ties in with Than's book, now is the perfect time to read it if you haven't already!) NOTE: Tote and contents shown in the picture are not the exact prize. Contents will vary.

* Second place winner will get a Kindle copy of one of the Forever Yours books (winner's choice based on your comment below.)

To enter to win, just visit the Forever Yours website and click on "Forever Yours". Then just tell me here in the comments below (on this blog post) which of those books looks like something you'd like to read. Easy peasy!

International entries welcome!

Thanks to everyone who entered to win Stephanie Tyler's Dire Needs ARCs!

Hey everyone!

I have a giveaway today — 3 ARCs (advance review copies) of Stephanie Tyler's new paranormal romance, Dire Needs!

The full moon is their mistress. They are predators of pleasure and pain. Feared by humans, envied by werewolves, the Dire Wolves are immortal shifters, obeying no laws but their own bestial natures. Once they were many, but now only six remain, a dangerous wolfpack forever on the hunt…

Rifter leads the pack, embracing the lifestyle and ethics of an outlaw biker even as he battles an ancient enemy who has become a new, powerful force. But with his Brother Wolf raging inside him, howling to be unleashed, he needs to satisfy his hungers. And when he meets a drop-dead gorgeous blonde drinking alone in a bar that caters to both human and inhuman, Rifter’s primal instinct is to claim her.

Gwen has her own desires, long unfulfilled. She hopes a passionate night with the leather-clad, Harley-riding biker will ease her suffering. The seizures that have wracked her body her entire life are incurable—and they’re killing her.

But none of that will matter if Rifter can’t stop the growing threat to them all — trappers who are determined to enslave humankind and use the Dire wolves as part of their nefarious plan.

So…like werewolves? Uber-alpha yummy males? Strange character names? (Oh, come on, if you've read Stephanie before, or Sydney Croft, or um, me, then you're experienced with the weird names!) Then, yo, you want to read this series!

Winners announced Friday at noon CST, so be sure to check back!

(CONTEST CLOSED 12 PM CST)

Today's post is about Stephanie's Shadow Force series, and you'll have a chance to win all four books or swag! Hop on over!

First, I want to thank everyone who participated in the widget contest! You guys are awesome! The best promo for an author is when people spread the word about books, and I can't thank you enough for sharing the widget and sharing the contest around the web.

So I'm posting the winners (I chose 6 instead of 5,) but if you didn't win, don't worry…more contests coming up. I've got some book thongs to give away, and also some really cool vampire fang necklaces like the one you see to the right. –>

People who saw mine at Authors After Dark loved it, so I bought some extras for giveaways. Yay! Stay tuned for the contests!

For now, the winners, chosen by Random.org, are:

Kathy Webb, #19

Christina #33

Shannon Patel #55

Lisa Uranker #114

Megan #117

Ladies, if you'll email your mailing address to: larissaione AT gmail DOT com or use the contact form to do it, I'll get your prizes out to you!

Thanks again for playing, everyone!!

Yay! Check it out, I have a new Immortal Rider countdown widget, courtesy of my awesome publisher! You can see it on the sidebar to the right –> and if you click on the little button to the far right on the widget, you can read the article I wrote for the Hachette website, Of Angels and Demons, about the Four Horsemen. Or, you know, you can click here.

So you know what this means? It means a giveaway!!!!

To celebrate Immortal Rider's upcoming release, I'm going to give away some Immortal Rider themed swag!

Five winners will get tote bags and coconut lip balms that match Immortal Rider's cover (bright orange and purple — the pic makes them look pink, but they're not. BRIGHT orange!) Plus, I'll toss various swaggy stuff like Post-It notes and jar openers into the packages.

So, how to enter?

To win one of three tote packages, simply post the widget somewhere — your blog, Facebook page, wherever you can do it. One entry for each posting…come back and give me the link to the page where you posted the widget in the comments.

If you don't have a blog or Facebook page or just don't want to post the widget, you're still eligible to win one of two of the tote packages! All you have to do is tell me which of the Four Horsemen most appeal to you. If you haven't read Eternal Rider and don't know about any of them, you can learn about each in the Of Angels and Demons article here.

Good luck! Contest is open internationally and ends on Sunday. Be sure to check back to see if you're a winner!

Wow…we had a LOT of entries for the swag bag! I have a winner, but I do want to say that if you didn't win, don't worry…I have a TON of contests coming up. I have some awesome Immortal Rider promos to give away soon — tropical body spray/lip balm sets and Immortal Rider-themed totes/lip balms (clearly, I love lip balms!)

After I get Lethal Rider turned in, I'll be giving a bunch of stuff away, so keep an eye out for lots of contests in September, October, and November!

Today's winner of the Authors After Dark swag bag is:
