HAPPY BIRTHDAY FLOOZIE ALICIA "Netflix" Giveaway!!

Floozie Alicia's Birthday is today, so we're giving away a Netflix 12 month subscription gift card!!

(Officially her birthday was yesterday but I felt it would be more convenient for me to celebrate it on today.)

Alicia at 2. What happened? Why does she look like a Troll now? 

Many don't know this (or care), but Alicia is my sister-in-law, who I've been forced to deal with for over ten years.

Alicia, A Six months pregnant me, and my husband right after a Miami Heat game!

So today we're going to do a big Birthday Giveaway of Alicia's favorite things. First, here's a few facts about Alicia!

She's an author!

We call her Chi Chi and she's a reasonably decent aunt of my three kids!

Chi Chi with my youngest Banyan

With my son and oldest daughter.

Additionally, there's a good chance that she can whip your A$$!

She's probably imagining that the board is my face.  :-/

Now let's get into the reasoning behind the Netflix Giveaway Stuff!

You see. . .Chi Chi is a huge GEEK!

When she's not writing, she's on Netflix watching these shows:

If she isn't watching a show, then she's eating SweeTarts, SweeTarts Gummies, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Skor or Heath bars and looking at her fav movies!

So for me it made total sense to give some special Winner a Netflix subscription in honor of Alicia (aka Chi Chi)'s Birthday!

Speaking of her nieces and nephew. Happy Birthday Aunt Chi Chi!

ECHO Book Tour Kick-Off + Int'l Giveaway

ECHO BLOG TOUR hosted by Xpresso Book Tours & Good Choice Reading Blog Tours

Today is the kick-off for the virtual tour featuring my novel Echo, a young adult science fiction adventure. Click on the above image to see the Goodreads page.

Over the next three weeks, Echo will be featured on 50-70 different blogs. Each tour stop will feature a guest blog post written by me, review (not written by me), interview, excerpt, teaser, character highlight, or character interview. It should be a lot of fun, with lots of information being revealed about Echo and its characters.

There will be two big giveaways, offering bookstore gift cards, paperbacks, and ebook copies of the book. Plus, some blogs may hold their own mini-giveaways for one ebook each.

You can find links to this week's tour stops here. These will be mostly reviews. Sometime during the next week, I'll update this post to link to the remaining tour stops. Those will be mostly non-review posts. I intend to visit each blog, so feel free to ask me questions in post comments throughout the tour.

Here's the first of the two big giveaways. It's international.

ECHO
by Alicia Wright Brewster

The countdown clock reads ten days until the end of the world. The citizens are organized. Everyone's been notified and assigned a duty. The problem is . . . no one knows for sure how it will end.

Energy-hungry Mages are the most likely culprit. They travel toward a single location from every corner of the continent. Fueled by the two suns, each Mage holds the power of an element: air, earth, fire, metal, water, or ether. They harness their powers to draw energy from the most readily available resource: humans.

Ashara has been assigned to the Ethereal task force, made up of human ether manipulators and directed by Loken, a young man with whom she has a complicated past. Loken and Ashara bond over a common goal: to stop the Mages from occupying their home and gaining more energy than they can contain. But soon, they begin to suspect that the future of the world may depend on Ashara's death.

MURDER ON OLYMPUS
by Robert B. Warren

At first glance, the Gods of Olympus are as different from one another as salt is from sugar. Despite their bickering, they share a universal bond, a thread of commonality that unites them.

They’re all jerks.

After a stint with the Olympic Bureau of Investigation, Plato Jones is through with the Gods and their political games. Against his protests, he's drawn into a murder investigation, where the murderer's targets are the Gods themselves.

Plato has cracked some tough cases: exposing cheating spouses, capturing treasonous heretics, hunting three-headed dogs. But this time he’s in over his head. How can he solve a crime that’s impossible to commit? And what chance does Plato—a mere mortal—have against something powerful enough to kill a God?
