Party -- Day One!!! Win signed books!
Welcome to the KISS & SEDUCE party! We hope you’re enjoying the sun as much as we are. Deidre and I are lounging by the pool sipping rum punch. (recipe below) Yum. And entertaining -- Deidre somehow wandered over to the pool and fell in! I guess you shouldn't drink rum punch before noon... Oh, wait! She's doing the backstroke. Great. Doubt I can blackmail her now. But anyway, now that we've got that all settled let's get to the fun part :). Everyone (21 and older, that is) make yourself a glass of rum punch. You should drink it while listening to Bob Marley singing "One Love." Just go here.
After that, it’s contest time! Today's prize is a signed copy of RED FIRE by Deidre and a signed copy of one of my books (your choice – if I have what you want in stock) in celebration of Deidre's new release Red Kiss and my upcoming release, Seduce the Darkness. To be entered, all you have to do is leave a comment in this thread. Winner will chosen in a random drawing and announced tomorrow morning on the blog. Also check out the info about Deidre’s Gods of Midnight books below . . .
Deidre’s sexy GODS OF MIDNIGHT series features seven immortal Spartans warriors who protect humanity from every form of evil that stalks the night.
About RED FIRE: Ajax Petrakos has spent centuries searching for his prophesied love -- Shay Angel. Once united, the fated couple must fight an ancient Persian Djinn, Elblas, who is determined to destroy their burgeoning passion.
About RED KISS: River Kassandros's special gift is the ability to transform into any weapon. After a recent battle, he becomes trapped in dagger form at the bottom of the ocean. His only hope of freedom is Emma Lowery, a woman whose powerful sensuality penetrates the deep blue abyss – drawing them inexorably together. But a dark force looms in the form of war god Ares, and the couple must decide whether to sacrifice their newly found love to protect humankind from certain destruction.
We haven't forgotten your drinks. :) Rum punch:
pineapple juice
rum
Malibu coconut rum
Campari bitters
orange juice
Mix up varying the ingredients to taste. Balance the Orange and Pineapple, add a little Malibu rum till you can slightly taste the coconut, then enough Campari to redden it and then make up the rest with rum. Fruity delicious going down, but very sneaky… Watch out ;)
And be sure to come back tomorrow for another contest, more prizes, more book info, more traveling, more drinks, more beefcake, and well, more everything!


Sounds like great fun-rum punch and pool! I am looking forward to SEDUCE THE DARKNESS. PARTY ON!!!

Instead of partying at the pool - wish I could, I am marking 43 essays and tomorrow there is more to come, unfortunately. Makes the wait for your books worthwhile - definitely something to look forward to!
Party on ladies, thinking of you as the red pen marches across the page, after page, after page......

Thanks!
Spooncha said... 7:14 AM
Books, and free at that are always something I would love to have...
Lani said... 7:15 AM
I am so jealous!!!!Rum punch and Bob Marley. Oh that brings back memories.Camping on a little island called Sandy Cay in the Bahamas.Having libations served to us by a hottie in nothing but a banana leaf. Suddenly... our prayers were answered when the wind blew the leaf up and we got the show of a lifetime (at face level)..........Oh the fun we had, but girls PLEASE remember to keep adding sunscreen. While drinking the rum punch it tends to keep you from feeling those wonderful rays beating down on you. You don't want to get burned (unless you have a hottie there to do first aide.........OH wait....use the hottie for the sunscreen over and over.)Could be fun......Well off to the liquor store.Have fun and be safe.
Ducky said... 7:16 AM

Hi Gena! I just discovered your Lords of Underwold series. Loved it!! Maddox was yummy!! I just got my hands on books 2 and 3 and can't wait to get started.
Let me end with a quote and let's see if someone can guess where it comes from:
"Why is the rum gone?"
RomansGirl said... 7:18 AM
Red Kiss looks awesome and I am still drooling about the pic of the guy in the shower. Woohoo! Carry on ladies!

Deidre, River told me he wants you to do the breast stroke. He is sooooo bad. Now he wants Gena to do it too. I must read some more pages and hope Emma comes to his rescue.
Have a super day.

Rum Punch and a pool, what a wonderful combination. I can't wait for Seduce the Darkness or the anthology with you and Kresley.
I have some of Deidre's books and they are good too (they just are signed like all of your books are).
Hopefully when yours and Kresley's book goes on sale you can do a tour and come some where close to Memphis or Little Rock, Ar again.

keeshe said... 9:02 AM
So is the hottie man part of the prize package? Maybe he could deliver the book himself.
Keep having fun at the pool while we're getting rained on and thanks for letting us in on a bit of the fun.
Jody F. said... 9:02 AM
Sounded cool just reading your post. At least here in OK it hasn't been as hot as it often is--even a cool breeze most days.

Rebels Devil said... 9:07 AM
I am so jealous...sitting by the pool drinking rum punch (I used to sneak some of my mom's when I was younger)...rum punch will knock you on your a$$, so watch out u 21 and overs...I love Bob Marley...reminds me of my island home...I haven't read any of Deidre's books, but I will definitely check her out...love mythological warriors...
Hope everything stays "irie".
Peace and love,

lillie_80 said... 9:19 AM
And the summer fun begins...
Living here in FL it always feels like summer but there's nothing like hanging out at the pool, sipping on some yummy drinks with your best friends, and talking about your favorite beefcake character!
And that drink is very delicious. If you like rum, you should try some rum runners on the rocks (or blended if you prefer).
I can't wait until Seduce the Darkenss is released!

Malibu?? A big part of my recent e-book, BUTTERFLY TATTOO, is set in Malibu. Can I just say how MUCH I love coastal California? But I love Coastal/low country GA, too, and that's a big part of the RED KISS setting. The book actually begins out on Tybee Island! So maybe we should have a tour stop on North Beach at Tybee!?!
Deidre Knight said... 9:24 AM
can i just have the coconut rum straight? i've been have a very bad couple of weeks and could really use it! i would love the books of course! they would help make being thrown out a little tiny bit bearable.

Oooh, I hope I'm lucky and win a book! I'm gonna have 4 kids (10 and under) out of school real soon, so a rum punch sounds like my kind of escape!

Hmmm free books and alcohol...gotta love this blog :) What more can a girl ask for...oh wait, how bout some warrior with a tortured soul to fix and hours of stamina. Yeah...I'm set ;)

I'd love a signed book. Actually, I'd love to be on the beach with a drink! Instead, I'll take my kids to their summer activities and read your books. Someday I'll make it to the beach...

Admittedly a new fan to Gena's writing, but I have read everything I can get my hands on! I'm half way through the last of the Lords trilogy (can't wait for more of those guys!), and have read the Atlantis series so far. I absolutely love everything I have read! Do you plan on making a trip here to Canada? Maybe Toronto...I live pretty close to there (only one hour away)...I'd absolutely love to meet you!

Oh sign me up :) Love contests! and looks like I found another author to read too! Which is good running out of books!!! Congrats on the new releases!! Oh and pass me a rum punch! (Can't wait to try that out at our next BBQ!! LOL)
Carrie said... 10:50 AM
I'm jealous, wish I was there. Might have fallen in the pool with you, Deidre, busy checking out the sights, lol.
Where to next? Maybe Mexico, Cancun or Alcapulco.
Pam P said... 10:54 AM
I'm looking forward to your new book, especially since I finally have time to actually sit down and read!
kniferomance said... 10:55 AM
Sounds like a lot of fun going on at the pool! Wish we could all be there.

Minna said... 10:57 AM
Wow! you guys are having a great vacation day with us!! And where are we off to tomorrow? Some guesses have been made...
Let's just say it's someplace where only half a bikini is officially necessary!
Deidre Knight said... 10:57 AM
Here's hoping that I will turn 21 quickly enough in order to enjoy such good drinks. Deidre, I read Butterfly Tattoo and cried all the way through (in a good way) fabulous books!
Patty B. said... 11:00 AM
Have fun at the pool! Can't wait for the upcoming releases!

Ooh, so you girls are going to bare it out on the beach. Thinking then France, St. Tropez maybe?
Pam P said... 11:08 AM
Drinking rum punch and watching hotties by the pool exactly what I need right now. Congrats on the new releases.
delitealex said... 11:15 AM

dookndance said... 11:18 AM
I am going to take my Rum Punch and walk down to the lake, get on my float and read all about the Vampire King! Ahhhh...! Summer bliss! Pssssst...can I borrow that mouth watering pool toy? Oh he looks delicious. Oh yeah I would LOVE to win a signed cipy of your books.

I'd love one of your books, especially for free!
Samantha said... 11:52 AM
OK I missed all the goodies at the last party so I think I deserve to win them at this one..... I wanna new auto book for my collection...or two or three
HockeyVampiress said... 11:52 AM
Are free books the compensation for our jealousy over your rum punch morning? Well, it's a start. :)
SStephens said... 11:54 AM
Rum punch + romance novels = a great way to spend the day!!
Thanks for the recipe. I need to check out your books. I'm bookless at the moment. (It's only a moment.)
Jacki said... 11:58 AM
Can't wait to pick up one of your books!
JackiRose said... 12:00 PM
@PattyB, thanks for the kind words about BUTTERFLY!! I loved every moment of writing that book (well, almost.) :)
@Kim, have craved rum anything all day as I've followed our thread.
@everyone--ask Gena about the power of blueberries when mixed with liquor. :)
I am amazed! We have 178 comments! We are going to break the 200 mark! Wow, okay, so nobody is guessing tomorrow's destination? I'm signing two books for the person who can! They figured it out on twitter. You can't cheat and go look, but at least start tossing out countries!! :) I mean, two free books about STRAPPING, hot, hunky Spartan warriors??? Fans self. And I'm the author! LOL!! Hugs
Deidre Knight said... 12:03 PM
I would love to have a signed copy of The Darkest Night, gotta love those Lords...
Dana said... 12:03 PM
@jackirose, not sure if it's still going on, but Borders has been having a four for the price of three book sale. At least this past weekend!
Deidre Knight said... 12:04 PM
Is it cheating that I got the answer from twitter? Cannes?
Raonaid Luckwell said... 12:06 PM
Dang, you and I posted at the same time.
Raonaid Luckwell said... 12:07 PM
Gena - you are my hero! Keep bringing on the good stuff :)
Katie said... 12:07 PM
Deidre, I am going to guess Greece as my first choice...Spartan men...I hope I am right, because I am getting into this now...
Gena, what is the power of blueberries when mixed with liquor?
Peace and love,
Paula R.
Paula R said... 12:26 PM

Wish I could join you all poolside sipping rum punch!!! Sounds like a great time - just keep those books coming! :-)
Carol said... 1:09 PM
I wish I could drink the rum punch but since I am not into alcohol I will sit by the pool while everyone else is having fun. (sigh). Oh well so much for partying.
TheDivaDivine said... 1:10 PM
@raonaid, LOL! I'd said that nobody could check Twitter. :) But since you are the first to answer, and it's been a while--you win! Email me at Deidre@Deidreknight.com and you can claim your books! :)
Greece! that's a very, very interesting guess... :) But not for tomorrow.
Deidre Knight said... 1:13 PM
