Authors like nothing more than to see their books "in
the wild!" That means sitting on a
bookshelf in a brick and mortar store, held tight in the hands of a girl on the
subway, or glowing on the kindle of the lady seated beside them on the
plane. (Yeah, I discreetly looked. And then I smiled from ear-to-ear for four
straight hours on the flight from Chicago to San Diego.)
Until we see our books "in the wild," the fact
that we're actually, factually, really and truly published doesn't quite seem
to register. And because this is the
case - At least it is for me. Am I the
only one? Am I? Show of hands, fellow authors? Bueller?
Bueller? - my family and friends delight in snapping photos of my books "in
the wild" and sending them to me. I
save each and every one of them. They're
that precious.
So today, in celebration of the fact that BORN WILD, the 5th
book in my bestselling Black Knights Inc. romantic suspense series, is "in
the wild," I've decided to do a BKI giveaway bonanza. Included in the prize pack will be all five
books - signed with love by yours truly - a custom Black Knights Inc. tote bag,
T-shirt, and ink pen, a spiffy bandana, and one little... surprise. Entering to win is
easy peasy lemon squeezy! Simply snap a
photo of BORN WILD "in the wild," either on a bookshelf, in your hot
little hands, or glowing on your eReader.
Then email that photo to me at julie.ann.walker@gmail.com, or post it to
my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/jawalkerauthor. On November 12th, I'll randomly choose one
lucky winner for the prize pack! (And
selfishly hoard all those photos of BORN WILD "in the wild" like a
squirrel hoards nuts. *wink*)
BORN WILD BY JULIE ANN WALKER – IN STORES
NOVEMBER 2013
New York Times and USA Today
bestselling author Julie Ann Walker dives back into action with the red-hot
romantic suspense Black Knights Inc. series!
They claim they’re bad-boy bikers who own a custom motorcycle shop, but
these special-ops guys--a mix of Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, Marines, FBI and
more--handle the jobs too tough for the government to tackle.
TICK…TICK…
“Wild” Bill Reichert knows a
thing or two about explosives. The ex-Navy SEAL can practically rig a bomb
blindfolded. But there’s no way to diffuse the inevitable fireworks the day Eve
Edens walks back into his life, asking for help…
BOOM!
Eve doesn’t know what to do when
the Chicago police won’t believe someone is out to hurt her. The only place to
turn is Black Knights Inc—after all, no one is better at protection than the
covert special-ops team. Yet there’s also no one better at getting her all
turned on than Billy Reichert. She has a feeling this is one blast from the
past that could backfire big time…

ReplyDeleteCarolyn Brown, well she didn't laugh at one of parts I thought was particularly funny and witty. So I hesitated to turn and say, "How do you like the book? By the way, I'm the author!" LOL!
ReplyDelete@Brooklyn Ann, I would swoon being next to Eloisa, too! *wink*
ReplyDelete@Shana Galen, thanks for looking! But don't bother to continue to search. I've received copious emails from fans saying THEY CAN'T FIND THE BOOK! I've since heard some orders were delayed in shipping and won't arrive until the weekend. *sigh* The never-ending headache of publishing. ;-)
