AAD Bookie Awards are open...

Hello Everyone,


I just wanted to let you know that the AAD Bookie Awards polls are open now. I was surprised to know that I was nominated for not one but three categories. I'm not completely sure when, where or how the nominations happened by the readers, but thank you for the nomination.

I have added the link in the message so you all can go vote. Even if you don't plan to attend the Author's After Dark Romance Convention next year (which was GREAT). You can still vote. It is a vote of readers and authors, everywhere. After you select your choice in all the categories in each poll you have to click done. If it does not route you back to the front page, then you will have to select the link again, then go to the next poll. Sometimes it routed by to the front page and most times it didn't. :) There are five separate polls, I am in three of those five. Also, after you click a bubble, scroll down because if you click even the side screen with your mouse it could change your selection. Of course, I would appreciate your vote. Thank you.

I am in 3 separate polls:

POLL #1
#4: 2010 BDSM Short of the Year
Trusting St. Nick by Yvette Hines

POLL # 2
#6: 2010 Erotic Short Story of the Year
Making the Man by Yvette Hines

POLL #3
#9 Reader Voted Star of Tomorrow

Thanks for everything this year!

I Grabbed the Bronze Medal...

Hello Everyone,

As you all may know by now, I captured the bronze medal spot in the All Romance eBooks contest. Yup, I did, with all of your help. You should be proud, I am. I feel really great about it. I met a lot of awesome readers and other authors and it was worth all the sleepless nights over the month. Congrats to Victoria Blisse who took first and Selena Kitt who snatched up second place. The contest had so many tremendous writers that I now have to add to my TBR list.

If you were one of the many readers who e-mailed me for a copy of On the Prowl the second story after Secured Heart in the Timberon Cat Series, then you don't want to miss out on your chance to get Rescued Mate, story three of the series....free. That's right I said free. For a temporary time, until Friday, I will be giving the third story free. After this week it will go on sale at ARe through my Tease publisher. So, how do you get it if you were one of the readers that contacted me with your vote last week? Simple, going my SASSE Sheets newsletter group. When you join, I will send you the story, Rescued Mate. You can't get anymore simpler than that, now can you?

ARe is also putting all the 32 shorts from the contest into themed "Just One Bite" anthologies that will be free downloads on the site. I will be in the second anthology, here is the cover. I believe they all be out the week of Thanksgiving.

Keep It S.A.S.S.E!
