Gena Showalter's Weblog

Have fun but please dont get too hung up on the military guys. They do look hot in their uniforms though.
Oh, I would love to win a book too.

Good morning :)
Count me in please, keeping my fingers crossed.

Ah, my mother and my sister have been to Greece and I've always wanted to go! Have fun on your "tour" ladies!
Margay

I really love this contest!

I wonder if the sobriety sponge also prevents hangovers...

You two are out of control!

good morning party goers. please throw my name in the hat too.

hahahaha I'm glad you managed to leave the rest of Greece still standing in your wake. Love the party! :)

OK, you two need to calm down and stop drink so early in the morning, and get back to writing...I need more books to read....

Always wanted to see Greece. I became fascinated with it in 8th grade when we were learning about Greek Mythology.

Hey, fellow travelers! We are having fun and glad you are, too. Gena makes an excelent travel companion so long as I keep her away from priceless antiquities!

Lani, re: military guys, I married a former one, so I think that's a done deal! 18 yrs on Monday.

Rachel, booze sponge as hang over cure is brilliant. Although a cheeseburger is a good idea, too! Lol.

Okay...I bought Red Fire yesterday, it's on the TBR pile which keeps getting taller....but it sounded so good I had to get it when I saw it. Plus I can't wait to win it....lol there are so many comments on here, what are the chances? You ladies are too much fun!

Good morning ladies! I am loving your "travels" and just know the 2 of you are having a blast.
Hope to win!

You 2 are just having WAY too much fun (yes I'm jealous). I really look forward to waking up in the morning to read this blog. By the way, Gena I saw the interview you and Jill did on Diedre. Hysterical....manslaves and all!!!
Please count me in for the contest.

Sounds like a fun party!

Ok, too funny! I am trying to pretend to work here and I'm laughing out loud!! lol Great & fun contest!

Have fun in Greece, ladies! ;)

I would love to visit Greece. Have fun. Count me in the contest please.

Party on, ladies.

hoorah! Hoorah! HOORAH!

Greece! I'm sure you ladies are having a blast!

Great party! Count me in.

OOOOOOO men in uniform...yummmmm oh! Have a great time.

Can't wait to see where we go tomorrow!

Count me in!! Oh how I wish I was there instead of at work! lol

Ok, this is great..I'm having such a blast! Thank you both!!
Hugs,
Kelly

You ladies are having such a wonderful time and a wonderful bunch of contests. :) Please throw my name in the hat.

M

Ohhh what I wouldn't give to be chased by two scrumptious military men. Oh and do you think we can get him to show more of that dragon tat?!?

Deidre, congrats on 18 years and may you have another 18. Wow, you just don't see marriages lasting that long these days.

glad to know you are both having fun

Good things the marines were there to save Gena!

Hey ladies.Have we all been having fun on the tour or what? And the military yummies......be still my heart...okay not for real unless a vamp wants a bite!.... Anyway..just a little FYI. I have found that french fries or potatoes of all kinds has the sponge effect too!!!And **Rachel** If you want to help a hangover BEFORE it starts..take B vitamins through out the day before the party starts and lots of water. Then after the party and before bed take a couple of tylenol and a big glass of water, I have found that it works wonders and since a hangover is mostly due to dehydration (so I have been told) it does help. It may not stop a hangover completely but it won't be as bad....I hope everyone comes to the chat tonight .....it should be a real HOOT!!!You girls are the BEST!!!

@kellyS, thanks for buying RED FIRE! I can't wait to hear what you think! Btw, for those of you who love give aways, I do lots of great prizes every month on my newsletter. You should stop by my site at www.DeidreKnight.com and sign up! We do gift certificates, jewlery, you name it!

@Brunette-31, thank you for the sweet words about my anniversary. We got married young. :) But we are so happy together and feel so blessed to spend our lives together as best friends. It's one big inspiration for me in writing romance--living with a great guy for such a long time!

And, gang... you do know this is just CYBER travel, right? I had a friend email me this morning who hadn't read the blog closely enough and he really thought I was in Tokyo! LOL! :) Of course, that's the only time I'm issuing that disclaimer b/c I prefer a reputation as a wild, globe-trotting, tattoo-acquiring, cougar-meowing woman. :)
D

@Ducky! I'm so excited about that chat, too! I mean, how can it not be crazy fun after all this crazy action all week?? And tomorrow we have a special final destination! D

Oh buy the way Rachel.... Love the dog in glasses!!! Great picture. And Deidre.... I have to admit that I haven't read your books but any author that Goddess Gena recommends I WILL BUY!! Her word is golden!!

who hoo, a chat. I am so looking forward to that. :) Okay why am I rhyming? I would love to be in Greece with you today but I have appointments, blah! Oh well, I will definitely catch up with you tonight.

Wow guys this has been fun and even if I do not win a book from the contest I will definitely be buying the books. Loved Greece!!! Where are we going next??

Oompah!!!! Greece! Now we're talking ladies!!! Now which way to Olympus - I know there's a Greek god or ancient warrior just waiting for me to find them :D

Athens, Greece...i've always wanted to go their. Mythology was always my favorite subject in school...and still is. I love to read books having to do with gods/goddesses...along with demons, vampires, licans/wereanimals, valkyrie, highlanders, etc...
I'm glad your ok Gena...thank's to those "delicious" military men.
Oh yeah, enter me for a chance to win a book please. Thx!

Does bread really work as a booze sponge? I'll have to Google it. ;-) Thanks for the ongoing drink recipes and the contest!

please enter me in the giveaway,I'd love to win a book.

I'd love to visit Greece someday.
If its still standing after Gena's done with it.lol.

daytimediva(at)hotmail(dot)com

Oh a chat sounds like fun with you two wild chicks!! Count me in!!

I'm getting light-headed from all the travel, or maybe it's all the drinks. Either way, I'm having a blast!

Can't wait to tune in tomorrow to see where you two wreak havoc next.

I have always wanted to go to Greece! Oh and having a husband in the military, I can attest to the raw attraction to a man in uniform! They can be lots of trouble though!

Greece sounds like fun....it's freezing cold and damp here today so a beautiful, warm sun and sparkling blue water sounds great to me.
I have to work all night, so no chat for me :- (
Hope everyone else stays sober enough to make it though!

Greece sounds lovely--although I have to say, ouzo is not my favorite. Why are there so many licorice-flavored alcohols?

Haha! You two crack me up! I'd love to really travel the world with the two of you....now that would be an adventure ;)

Did NOT know about the bread trick thing---fantastic ladies thanx! OOOOOOOooo!!!!I want one of Gena's books SO BAD!!! Got it all picked out and EVERYTHING!!! And I can't WAIT to read Gideon's story (no seriously I'm literally dying here in anticipation!)!

I've been having fun here all week!

Party Time! I hope to be there at the chat tonight, have fun in Greece-I think I would settle for a Greek adonis if i were you Deidra.

Good morning ladies...I made it...took a military hop over to Greece, so that I could have fun with you ladies...you finally made it to Greece...I have been waiting here for what seems like forever...I abso love that country, though I have never been there for real...As she wipes tears off her face...I have been in love with Greece since I was about 12 or so...read a romance novel set there, can't remember the name of the book though...it had a green cover, red haired lady in black bikini and a major blonde god/hottie swimming in the deep blue...pubbed by Mills & Boone...did I date myself? Haha, never...I am only 34 you know...no, really, I am...lol...the military hotties are major sizzlers...

Congrats to the winners from yesterday's sake fest...count me in for the contest ladies...

Gena, I am glad you left a piece of the Acropolis standing for posterity...now be a good girl, and give your military saviors a hug and a kiss for me...

Peace and love,
Paula R.

Woooo Wee!! Kiss one of them military hotties in Greece for me. Tell em to keep servin up our country!!

Greece sounds like fun...especially if there are hot military guys around. Though I would refrain from destroying a priceless piece of history.

Count me in! Have fun today. Wish I was there with you.

WooHoo I was in greece not that long ago and i agree that it would be a great place to celebrate a book release. Anyways I would love to win a book.

You girls are having a RED HOT time out there!!! I don't know which I like better the pix of the hot military guys or the drink recipes!!! The Guys..of course!! Hoorah!!! Semper Fi! All the way!Anyway, count me in for a book. Would love to read more of what you got!

~Afshan

Haha, alright, I'm jealous. I want two helpful marines!! Hoohrah! You go Gena :-D

Oh no, and I was going to drop by Acropolis on my way to see my warriors in Budapest... tsk tsk.

Oh well, at least I still get a chance at those books.

Just swinging by to say don't forget the chat tonight!! At www.knightagency.net, the link is on the top of the blog or in the blog post. LOL.

Also, for those of you who love Greece, don't forget that RED KISS and RED FIRE are allllll about hot sexy Greek men. Beautiful. Yummy. Dreamable. Did I already say I'm happily married for almost 18 years??? :)

Loving the party! What a great week on Gena's blog! :)

I always wanted to visit Greece. Have a drink for me! Did you know that a slice of white bread could be used to clean an oil painting? See bread does have it's uses!

Pick me,pick me I NEED Red Fire!!!!!

I haven't had the chance to read Gena's books yet.I checked them out on her site, and I will be getting them soon.They look fantastic.

Thanks for the great virtual party.And another great drink (I hear Ouzo has quick the kick).

Don't get in too much trouble with all those handsome greek men around ;)

elaing8(at)netscape(dot)net

Count me in please!

Just gotta say, I'm enjoying this little tour.

Gena, you broke the Acropolis?! You're like, my hero! :-D I wish I could party that hard.

Great beverage choice - ouzo, indeed!

You guys are racking up the virtual air miles pretty soon you can take all of us on a trip with you. Now off to find some ouzo.

Hmmmmm . . . *Suspicious* Bread? A booze sponge?? Really?? *Raids bread bin* Will have to PULL of some experiments with these!! *Cackles as I lock all doors & windows.* *Grins* You never know, I just might try climbing out of one! Thanks girls!

You guys crack me up! I wish I could make it to the chat tonight but going to Wicked. If you like Military guys do a signing in San Antonio...I would love to meet ya'll and there is always trouble to find with the Military bases here =) Have a great day!!

Well I don't think I will be going to Greece anytime soon. It looks like you trashed the place!! Guess I will just stay home and read. Of course it would help if I had some books. You guys really know how to throw a contest.

Hi Deidre and Gena,

Glad to hear that you are having fun in Greece with military men.

Love the recipes and thanks for a chance to win books!

Terri W.

My parents have been to Greece and loved it. It's on my list of places to go before I bite the big one...

Have fun ladies, and thanks for another great drink to try.

Sounds like a great time was had by all in Greece! Note to Gena: Try not to destroy anymore history in Greece, that place is on my bucket list! LOL! LOL! LOL! Can't wait to see where you ladies will be next!

rofl you are without a doubt two wild women and have been cracking me up since you started on your tour.

My best friend and I almost booked a ticket to visit Greece...she really needs to get away for a while and reevaluate her life...If I didn't have family obligations, I would have booked a ticket today...I told her about these virtual trips, so maybe she could get on that bandwagon...I really worry about her...

Congrats on the 18 years...looking at that accomplishment seems so unreachable, but when you are having fun time sure does fly right...

I can't wait to read these books...I left the house for the first time in two days...I will make sure I pick your book up the next time I am out Deidre...is the chat for about an hour? I might be late, but I am definitely going to drop by.

Peace and love,
Paula R.

Ladies, I'm glad your having an awesome time on your trip to various countries. I would love to be there in Greece, I have always love and been a huge fan of mythology. Thank-you for the recipes, they all sound yummy. Please enter me in the book contest. Please.

Ahh Greece, the food, the sun, the lovely hot guys in tiny-- you know what? I think my frequent flyer miles are due.

I'm absolutely loving these adventures you guys are having. Think I'm going to have to take some trips like these myself :-)

Oh I miss living in Athens, especially the warm weather... well not in the middle of summer when it got to about 40*C (about 104*F!!!). Miss starting to go to the beach in March and not gout out until Mid Sept (and only because school started).

Hope you guys are having fun on your tour =]

You really know how to throw a party! Far off places, great books, exotic drinks and hunky men. Oh yeah, my kind of party.

Did I read right? Greece? And you didn't take me with you, that's preposterous...

Wow I'm late to the party

You guys sound like you're having too much fun, thanks for spreading it around. Your story was good for a laugh!

Please toss my name in the hat too!

Kim G.

I'll probably miss ya, but still on my way! Be awesome to have a great book to read while flying! Have a wonderful time in Greece, girls! Smiles!!!

Glad to see you are having another wonderful day in the sun.. with quite nice candy.. Is that the dragon's tail ??? or not. LOL
Thanks for the party you 2

This has been a fun week to log on and see what's happening. Thanks for all the awesome tales!
Cyndia

I am so jealous - I would love to visit Greece one day. It looks like you guys are having a blast.

Hoorah is right! You two are fun to read, almost wish I was there in person...

Moondiz

Sounds like you two are having a wonderful time. Count me in please. :)

Thank the gods for hunky soldiers!! But them tighey-whiteys...damn. So sorry for the Acropolis, but at least it'll be a cool story now!!!

Here's to hoping you have fun in Greece and I can win a book too!!

This globe-trotting is so funny!

Wow, it sounds like you two are having an incredible time.

And I would love to win a book.

COuld you bring the hot Marines home? maybe send them my way?

Wish I was in Greece now...I'm jealous! Hi Deidre, seems we have something in common...our love of those sexy Greek heroes...

Enjoy the ouzo!

Celia Jade

I have never won a Gena or Diedre book and I need to correct that grevious error... LOL Yummy man in uni today...

I absolutely loved the chat! Thanks guys that was great!

Greece AND half naked military men?????....best visual EVER!!!! Thanks!!

You always have such beautiful pictures up in your blog-posts. I always find myself a little bit jealous. Haha.

Urg! I missed the chat! I'm so disappointed! My baby boy was circumcised today so that made the afternoon and evening a little harry! I can only imagine the beauty that is Greece! I plan to go there one day myself, maybe when the kids are older and they would be able to have fond memories of our trip! Keeping my fingers crossed on winning one of those books! Didn't my karaoke go over well on the French Riviera? Guess I'll just have to sing you a new song...hmm...what will it be?...I'm thinking a little Rosie Ledet "You're no good for me."

Here's hoping I'm lucky!

Amy xo

Wish I could have joined you in Greece today,. Sounds like you were having a blast.

Military men?!?! I must say living in a military town like Jacksonville NC. Makes you have a finer appriciation of men in uniform...Yummy. Theres nothing like a Marine in (or out) dress blues.

I had a great time at the chat tonight. Appearently everyone else did too considering what time it ended!

Thanks!

Lynda

Another great party! Im going to be so sad when this is over.

It's too bad I had to miss the chat:( maybe I will win a book to cheer me up *wink*
