Evernight Birthday Blog Hop, Oct 08-12


Welcome to the Evernight Publishing birthday blog hop!

Evernight Publishing opened its doors two years ago. In those two years we’ve signed over one hundred and sixty authors and published over three hundred books. From paranormal to contemporary, we’ve had more best sellers than we can count and made thousands of people smile, sigh and gasp. So, as a thank you to all our readers and everyone who has supported us, we’re holding this blog hop and we have a whole lot of prizes to offer you.

Here's how it works... the more blogs you hop to (shown below) the more chance you have of winning prizes. Each author on the hop is offering a prize and Evernight is offering the following grand prizes, a Kindle, a $100 Amazon gift certificate, two Evernight swag bags (which includes a tote, a tee, vouchers, a mug and other coolness) and a personalized Facebook banner. To be in with a chance of winning the author prize simply follow the blog you're visiting and leave a comment which includes your email address. Each entry on each blog is then counted towards the grand prize draw. The more entries you have, the better your chance of winning a grand prize! You also get extra points for liking the Evernight Facebook page. Just make sure you let us know in the comments that you've done so.

Good luck and happy hopping!

Hello, I am Shawn Lane and am an author of M/M Romance Fiction. For the Birthday Blog hop I'm giving away a copy of both Loving the Boss and the follow up related story Loving the Assistant (which does not release until November, so you will have to wait until the release to receive the second half of the prize) to one lucky commentator.



Here's the list of participating authors in Evernight's Birthday Blog Hop -

Last Days to Enter

Just a few days left to enter the contest to possibly be one of two winners of Loving the Boss. I'll post the winners either on September 25 or 26. I will be on my second mini-vacation until sometime on September 25, so the winners may not be posted until the following day.

In other news, I wrote a related story to Loving the Boss called Loving the Assistant. This story involves Alan's best friend. Alan is the main character from Loving the Boss. I've been offered a contract for Loving the Assistant, which I have accepted, but I have no further details at this time as I've not yet seen the contract. Once I have a release date and all that good stuff I'll have the site updated.

So go ahead and leave a comment here if you are interested in winning Loving the Boss and you haven't already entered.

Loving the Boss Contest

At the end of September my short story, Loving the Boss, will be released by Evernight Publishing for their Romance on the Go line. This line is devoted to short stories and therefore I decided to write Loving the Boss specifically for it. I am currently working on another story related to Loving the Boss (about a secondary character) I hope to submit there in the not too distant future.  You can view the cover there on the sidebar and here is the blurb for it:

Every morning, Alan Sommers arrives early to work. He makes coffee, tidies the office and makes sure the blinds are open to let in the California sun. All of it he does for Kincaid Malloy, his boss of the last three years. His handsome, intelligent and completely professional boss. And therefore, there's no hope his love for Kincaid will ever be returned. When Kincaid asks him to pet sit at his home while he's away at a law conference, Alan readily agrees. What he doesn't expect is that his dreams of loving the boss might finally come true.  

This is a happy, angst free little story of about 8,000 words. One you can probably easily read in a night just before bed.

So, anyway, I'm holding a contest. You can win a copy of Loving the Boss if you leave a comment here on the blog. I will announce two winners on or about the release date of September 25, 2012.

You are also welcome to email me if you would prefer not to leave a public comment. authorshawnlane@gmail.com

The Writing Vacation

So I’m on a writing vacation as I stated in a previous post. I am shortly going on a real vacation and another mini one in late September so the writing vacation extends to October 01.


How goes the writing hiatus? Well, to be honest I wrote a short story after my hiatus began. It’s called Loving the Boss and I sold it to Evernight Publishing for their Romance on the Go line. No the “Boss” isn’t Bruce Springsteen. It didn’t take up too much of my time to write and I had the idea and didn’t want to forget it. I have plans when the hiatus ends to write a story about a secondary character from Loving the Boss, too.


But now, I am officially writing free. I’ve been reading other people’s books. It’s funny how when you are a reader only you can completely enjoy a favorite author’s books without a critical eye. But when you are also a published writer yourself little things annoy you. Like one of my favorites in Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Quick/Jayne Castle. They are comfort reads for me. I always know I will be entertained by them. But there’s something she does in every book that now annoys me. “He thought” and “she thought” constantly pepper her books even though they are totally unnecessary in every context she uses them. I’m fairly certain as famous as she is she has complete control over her books and how much editing is done but that should be cut because it is really becoming distracting.



Besides reading, I have also been playing silly time management games on my computer. Silly thinks like how fast can you serve burgers before people get mad, that sort of thing. They amuse me. And very old Sega Genesis Role Playing games which I was able to buy as downloads from Amazon for like $2. Total nostalgia. And of course watching TV in the background while doing all this.


Anyway, I think my contest for One More Time has a few more days at Stumbling Over Chaos and now there is a contest up for Maybe This Time, here. No I really am not obsessed with having “time” in my titles. I don’t really know how that happened, it just did. Heaven knows it’s hard enough coming up with titles for books.
