I hope everyone enjoys the plans they were telling me about in the contest comments. As promised, one last contest option for Sweetest Seduction is happening now at the Smutketeers blog. These fantastic ladies have put together an amazing selection of authors for you to enjoy! Don’t forget to leaving a comment on my Valentine’s Day blog hop page for a chance to win there, as well as the Day Dreaming blog.

I’m participating in the The Blog Hop Spot’s Valentine’s Day blog hop. Visit their page to see the huge list of sites participating. All of them will have a giveaway at the end of the contest. The Day Dreaming review blog is also participating, and they’ll be talking about Sweetest Seduction, as well as giving away a copy of the book.

In addition to a copy of Sweetest Seduction, I will be giving away this necklace as a Valentine’s Day present. To enter the contest, post a comment here and tell me what you plan to do/are doing/did for Valentine’s Day, between now and midnight on the 14th. I’ll draw a random winner on the 15th.

There will be one more chance to win at the Smutketeer’s blog. Details on that in the next couple of days.

Let me know if you read and liked Sweetest Seduction! (And, ya know, if you want to let other people know that as well… 😀 )

D. Renee Bagby Presents First Chapters posts the entire first chapter of romance novels. Isn’t that an awesome service? I love being able to read that first chapter before deciding to buy. If you haven’t read Bound by Sunlight, here’s your chance to read the entire first chapter.

Now the site is hosting a contest of all the August postings, which includes Bound by Sunlight, to see which Cover, Best First Line, Best Last Line, and Best Overall First Chapter, you like the most. The first 100 voters will be eligible to win an e-gift card  Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Borders or All Romance eBooks (winners choice). The contest is here, and my favorite entry (cough, cough) is here. 😀 Good luck!

Bound by Sunlight is up for this week’s LASR Book of the Week contest. The contest is based on the reviews, not on actually reading the books. My review from Mistletoe said “KB Alan pulls the reader into a world filled with magic and keeps you entertained until the end.” How cool is that?

My first contest!

A bunch of erotica authors and I just happened to be at the Hustler store in Hollywood, and I thought of you, my dear readers. I picked up a few items I thought you might enjoy, and then actually remembered that Valentine’s Day is coming up. So I thought, why not have a contest now, so that the winner can receive the prize in time for Valentine’s Day?

Here’s a pic of the prize. There is the Sex & Chocolate book, Adult Mad Libs, Pocket Kama Sutra, Pocket Erotic – the Ecstatic Secrets of Sensual Massage, and 52 Orgasm Tips flashcards.

I’ll also give away a copy of either of my books, Perfect Formation or Alpha Turned, unless the winner already has them. In which case, they can choose any ebook I’ve pimped on my site (there are a bunch, just click on the pimpin’ tag at the bottom of this post to see them all).

So, the contest. Comment below and you’ll be entered once. Email the response to one or both of the following for additional entries, for a maximum of three per person, to kb at kbalan.com. DO NOT put the answers in the comments below, or you will get zero entries in the contest. Please add something like “Contest” in the subject line. You’re also welcome to use the contact form here.

1. Tell me the name of any character from any of my works in progress (in other words, not from my published books). These can be found fairly easily in my blog posts.

2. Tell me the name of one of the review sites that has reviewed either of my published books. These can be found on my website.

All comments/emails must be received by Friday February 5th. I’ll announce the winner on Saturday the 6th and as long as the winner gets me their address by Sunday, I’ll put the package in the mail on Monday to make sure you have it by Valentine’s Day, in case you want to make use of any of it. 😉

I don’t mind sending internationally, but don’t guarantee delivery by the 14th. Actually, I don’t guarantee that domestically either, just that I’ll get it in the mail by the 8th. I’ll email the selected ebook late on the 13th or early on the 14th.

You don’t have to say anything special in the comments, but if you want, you can tell me what you plan to do for Valentine’s Day. While life is subject to change, as of now my plans are to stay in my pajama’s all day, possibly do some writing, read an erotic romance (any suggestions?) and attend the CAPA awards at the Romance Studio (Did I mention I was nominated for best BDSM book of 2009?!?! I did, but I’ll mention it again, because it’s pretty freaking exciting).

How’s that for a first contest? Did I forget anything?

The Smutketeers were kind enough to pop my interview cherry. Technically, they’ve popped my contest cherry, too, as we’ll be giving away an ebook copy of Perfect Formation to one commenter, and I’ve never done that, either. They were very gentle…it only hurt for a second. 😀  Check it out here!
