Contest Winners Announced–Ta Dum!

Posted on:


Congratulations to Pamela S of Blanchester, Ohio, the third winner of my “semi-contest.” Pamela’s prize is a signed copy of Eloisa James’s latest release, Desperate Duchesses.

And–drum roll please–the grand prize winner is Tracey T of Gassaway, WV. Tracey’s prize includes a personalized signed copy of Vanquished, the launch to my “Men of Roxbury House” trilogy and a hot-off-the-press chapter excerpt of Bound to Please, my Scottish Medieval Blaze due out this July 1st.

Both Pamela and Tracey correctly answered my contest question: what is the color of Lady Kate’s eyes in Untamed? Lady Kate’s eyes are amber.

My thanks to all of you who took the time to enter, adding to the general fun. The good news is there is always another opportunity to win at www.hopetarr.com, so please check my Contest page for your latest chance to win.

Contests Galore!

Posted on:

Hi All,

It’s cold and windy here in NYC but spring is on its way (it is!), and it seems contests are cropping up like those yet-to-be-seen springtime flowers. Best-selling romance novelist, Samantha James is running a super contest from her web site starting March 25th. Twenty contest winners will be chosen beginning the day after the contest, and continue into April. There will be more than 150 winners, and best of all, most winners won’t need to wait a whole month before they get their prizes!

Included among the giveaways are coverflat keepsakes for Untamed and yes, an autographed copy of Vanquished.

Also, Diesel E-books is carrying copies of my Harlequin Blaze books and offering a 20 percent off coupon, so if you prefer your palm pilot to print, please take two ticks to check it out.

Welcome to Fabulous February–and Marvelous March

Posted on:


Hi Everyone,

To celebrate February, the official Month of Love, as well as the release of Untamed, my “Men of Roxbury House” trilogy finale, I’m running a *series* of very special contests through the end of March–with a little help from my friends. Along with my book, you’ll have the opportunity to win the latest romance reads from Julia Quinn, Kathryn Caskie, and Eloisa James. Click over to my contest page for details on how to enter–and win.

Wishing you a February filled with (chocolate) kisses,

Hope

The holidays: all pumped up

Posted on:


Foremost, to all of you who’ve called “time out” from the holiday bustle to email me nice notes on my December holiday book, Strokes of Midnight, thank you! Your kind words mean more to me than any critical praise. For those of you who missed my previous Christmas book for Harlequin Blaze, It’s A Wonderfully Sexy Life. “Don’t worry, be happy.” 😉 It may be long gone from brick-and-mortar bookstores, but you can still order the book online, including trusty ole amazon.com.

Fortunately Strokes of Midnight is a two-day read, leaving oodles of time for tackling all those other great books waiting to be read. (Christmas started out as Twelve Days, remember). My personal pick is Claire Cook’s Life’s A Beach. Claire is the talented author of Must Love Dogs as well as several other books celebrating not only romance but the quirky beauty of all our relationships. Life’s A Beach is chockful of romance, to be sure, but there’s also plenty of sister love-hate to go ’round as well as pets–you gotta love a heroine who names her cat “Boyfriend.”

You can read my “review” of Life’s A Beach at a wonderful new site/ezine: Writersarereaders.com.

P.S. Don’t forget…My special holiday co-contest with fabulous fellow Harlequin Blaze author, Cathy Yardley draws to a close this Monday, December 17th, so please check back for the announcement of winners. In the spirit of celebrating the charms of giving *and* receiving, each winner will receive two extra sets of books to give as gifts.

PPS. I can’t believe I left this out of my NYC posts. Check out the above photo of Strokes of Midnight (center), my New York-over-the-holidays book taken, yes, in New York over the holidays!

Got…ENSLAVED? Countdown to contest closing.

Posted on:

Hi Folks,

We’re counting down to the finish on my end-of-summer Got…Enslaved contest. Just six more days before the contest closes on 9/1, so if you’ve seen Enslaved out and about, or elsewhere online, please email in.

“Alert readers” continue to email me their Enslaved sightings, including readers from other countries. Recently added to the list of early release sightings are Chapters book store in downtown Montreal and online at The Book Depository (www.bookdepository.co.uk).

Got…ENSLAVED Contest Closes 9/1

Posted on:

With temperatures soaring, at least here in Virginia, it’s hard to believe fall is right around the corner but it is. Soon school bells will once again be ringing and back packs will be filled with crisp new textbooks to be cracked open–and closed.

Along with those harbingers of autumn, my summer “Got…Enslaved? Contest” closes on 9/1. So, if you’ve happened upon one of the advance copies of the book, don’t forget to drop me an email with “Got…Enslaved?” in the subject header to make things nice and simple. I’ll add the location to my growing list and enter your name in the contest pool.

Hope
