Trip Around the World Mega Author Blog Hop

Welcome to Santa Cruz, California for this stop in the Trip Around the World Blog Hop. I assume you've just came from The Emerald Isle with Heather McAlendin, which is quite ironic since the book I'm offering for the giveaway is called The Emerald Talisman.

So now it's time to shed your coat from Ireland, take off your shoes and walk up the beach or enjoy some funnel cake at the Santa Cruz Beach Board Walk...oh...and bring a good book... how about one centered in Santa Cruz?

For those who are fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Blade and Twilight, The Emerald Talisman is right up your alley. And if you don't win it here, it's only $0.99 on Kindle/Nook right now!

When Julia Parker, a sixteen-year-old with the paranormal ability to read people's emotions, accidentally falls prey to a vampire, she becomes aware that sometimes animals and people aren't who they seem. To survive, she must rely on her psychic abilities to help her decide who to trust and who to love.

I'm giving away:
1 signed copy with matching bookmark.

To enter: please comment and leave your email address. I just ask you also are a Google Follower.

    Oh, great! The Emerald Talisman has been on my radar for a while now, this would be a great opportunity to read it already!
    As for Santa Cruz...*dreamy sigh* It seems perfect, it's one of the locations I mention when people ask me where would I like to go on my next vacation.

    Anyway... thank you for the giveaway!
