Hi All! So, I realized that I never really explained the whole Deliciously Decadent December thing. Here's the deal. There are, um, nine of us (I think. I'll count later to make sure), and we are all Ellora's Cave authors with December releases. So we decided we'd promote one another's books on each other's blogs, AND we'd give away copies of our new releases as we go. That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
We are:
Amy Ruttan RAIN GOD 12/3
Cheryl Dragon QUINTUPLED 12/3
Aubrey Ross CRIMSON PREY 12/5
Emma Peterson SEDUCING ST. NIC 12/10
L.A. Day GREEK TEMPTATION 12/12
Samantha Kane RETREAT FROM LOVE 12/17
Kathy Kulig DESERT OF THE DAMNED 12/19
Angelia Sparrow EIGHT DAYS ABLAZE 12/24
Shelley Munro CAT BURGLAR 12/31
We don't have a release everyday of the month, but when one of us does I'll post a cover and blurb and links to buy or read excerpts. Each promo post will also contain a question that I'll answer, and then you can answer it in the comment section. You must comment on those posts to win books. The rules are:
1. Leave a comment and you'll be entered to win.
2. Winner will be chosen at random via Random.org
3. You can enter a total of 9 times by leaving a comment on each Triple D author's blog but you will only allowed to win once.
4. You must be 18 and older to enter and/or win.
5. You must collect your prize within 10 days of prize announcement or prize is null & void.
You can see the first post just below. I loved the question, which was why is the ménage genre so popular and what do you like or not like about it? I had fun with that one!
On days we don't have new releases to give away, below are just a few of the authors who will be giving away copies of their books, and some of them will be our guests, at the Deliciously Decadent December Yahoo Group, which you can join
here. So drop by each day, where the nine of us will be visiting with guest authors and other readers.

CRIMSON PREY: Crimson Pleasures Book Two

Loved the characters, the heat and the thought of an enthralling hero sinking his teeth into your neck in Crimson Thrall? Then get set for more passion, more intensity and a bigger bite!
Six centuries have passed since a treacherous enemy wrested Antonio's love from his bed. He was outmatched and overpowered before, but nothing will keep him from claiming Serafina now—not even Serafina herself. Wild with hunger and a soul-deep longing, he declares a Bride Hunt, an ancient ritual most vampires abandoned centuries before.
Serafina endured a loveless marriage for the sake of her sisters. Now her husband's death has freed her to think of her own happiness. Before she can decide how to flex her independence, she's being hunted by a domineering, if utterly desirable, vampire bent on binding her soul to his. Antonio awakens sensations and ignites responses she never experienced with her husband, but is physical pleasure reason enough to spend eternity at his side?

I believe that cat people are drawn to vampire stories and dog people prefer werewolf stories. Do you agree or disagree and tell me why.
Oh my gosh, I don't know! I never thought about it. Hmm, interesting. You may be right. Ordinarily if given the choice between a werewolf novel and a vampire novel, I'll choose the vampire. And I'm a cat person. Hi, hello, how are you? My name is Sam, and I'm a cat person. So maybe you're right.
On the other hand, I had dogs growing up, so I lived with and loved two or three dogs at a time until the age of 18. Okay, that didn't sound right, but pull your mind out of the gutter and take it at face value. ;-) So I do know dogs. And maybe that's why I absolutely, positively, unequivocally cannot do furry sex. Werewolf books that delve into puppy-humping just turn me off. That is me personally, mind you. I know lots of people who don't have any issues with it, and enjoy those books very much. I've said it before and I'll say it again, different strokes for different folks. If we all liked the same books there'd only be a handful of working authors and the publishing industry would be in the tank. So vive la difference. But for me, no puppy-humping.
I'm kind of particular about my vamp books, too. I either like them really funny and sorta campy (Mary Janice Davidson) or seriously dark (Laurell K. Hamilton). And I like my vamps to be totally alpha and stand out in a crowd. I don't want them to be the kind who've blended in for centuries and you can't tell they're vamps the first time you lay eyes on them. Me, a picky reader? Why do you say that? lol
So, to sum it all up, cat person = vampire book reader and dog person = werewolf book reader, agree. Well, kind of. From the cat person perspective. But I can't speak for dog people. Woof.
