To enter the Twelve Days of Bigtime contest, you can either post this info (including the cover) OR Fiona Fine’s letter to the media. The choice is yours. 😉

She can melt steel – and men’s hearts …

By day, Fiona Fine is a successful couture designer, catering to the high society players of Bigtime, New York. By night, she’s Fiera, a superstrong superhero who can create and manipulate fire with her bare hands. Fiera, along with the other members of the heroic Fearless Five, make life miserable for the ubervillains who want to take over the city.

But Fiona’s personal life isn’t so fine. She still misses her fiancé, who was killed by ubervillains a year ago. But men admire Fiona’s smoking assets, and she decides to get back in the dating game – especially after she meets Johnny Bulluci. But this notorious playboy has plenty of secrets to go along with his sexy smile. And, with two new ubervillains in town who are intent on raising hell, Fiona’s love life might just crash and burn …

My new book, Hot Mama, is coming out Nov. 6 and to celebrate I’m going to do a contest. But not just any contest. Oh no. In honor of the upcoming holiday season, I’m kicking off the Twelve Days of Bigtime! Excited yet?

It’s pretty simple. The contest is like the Twelve Days of Christmas, but with prizes instead of partridges in pear trees. Seriously, what would you do with a partridge in a pear tree anyway? Bigtime books are so much more practical.

The contest starts Nov. 5 and runs through Nov. 16. All you have to do to enter the contest is post the following on your Web site, blog, or MySpace page (once the contest actually starts):

1) Either Fiona Fine’s letter to the media or the Hot Mama summary

2) The Hot Mama cover

Basically, all you have to do is copy one of the posts I’ll put up. Post the info once, and you’re entered to win all twelve days. Of course, if you want to talk more about the book on your site, that would be great too. 😉

If you don’t want to post, you can leave a comment on my blog about your favorite superhero or villain. You’ll be eligible to win the autographed books, etc., but not the Amazon gift cards or grand prize.

More to come shortly …

PS I’ll post about the contest a couple of times, so don’t worry if you don’t catch all the info at once. Also, you can click on the Contests category on the blogroll to see all the posts.

Happy reading! :ww:
