Veteran's Day blog hop from Romance Veterans

It's Veteran's Day weekend, a time to remember the service of military members everywhere.

I have joined with a group of fellow women veterans in a writing group called Romance Veterans, aka RomVets. We write romances of all kind. Adult and YA. Sweet to Sexy. In honor of Veteran's Day, we're holding a blog hop, with giveaways at each stop. There is also a grand prize of a $50 gift card, given to one participant.

The grand prize is open for entries from midnight Nov 10 until midnight Nov 12. Enter below.

To 3 winners (US only), I'm giving away a hardcover copy of either Julia Day book, Fade to Us or The Possibility of Somewhere. 

I always include a military character in my YA romances, like:

• Fade to Us-- there are two heroines: Brooke and her autistic stepsister, Natalie. Natalie's father and Brooke's stepfather is Jeff--a recently-retired Army engineer.
• The Possibility of Somewhere--the heroine Eden meets a new friend, Mundy. Mundy's late father was a Navy helicopter pilot, who lost his life in a helicopter crash.

My giveaway runs now through midnight Nov 12. Enter below.

Gracias, danke, thank you

Today we celebrate Memorial Day in the United States and take the opportunity to thank the men and women who paid with their all to keep the world free.

Let me share my deepest gratitude to members of the Armed Forces, to those we've lost and to those who continue to work vigilantly for freedom.

Here are a few of my favorite links to articles or video that honor those who have served:

• Photo montage from SOS America Military Tribute
• Honor our fallen heroes - Cathy Maxwell
• Saluting those who serve - Willie the Seeing Eye Dog (from Pearl Harbor Day 2012)
• USAToday HEA Blog - Romance Veteran Authors share their memories
• I did it for my daughters - Elizabeth Langston (fromVeterans Day 2013)

Thank you.
