1. Erin Kellison is offering the first two books in her Shadow Series. The third book in the series, Shadowman danced onto the scene this month. I bet she performed her first job with grace! What was Erin's first job?





2. Stephanie Chong is offering a singed copy of her debut PNR Where Demons Fear to Tread (The Company of Angels). I doubt Stephanie would argue the fact that she is proud of her book and would make a case that it will entertain you. What was one of Stephanie's jobs?


3. Faith Hunter is offering a signed copy of Skinwalker (Jane Yellowrock, Book 1)the first book in her UF series. I wonder if Faith has met any Skinwalker children. I would be afraid to play with them, they might bite. What was Faith's first job?



4. Megan Hart is offering a copy of Passion Model. Megan writes eroticia and I don't need to give you any more hints cause her first job title is just too good to be true <G>. What was Megan's first job?




5. Lisa Hendrix is offering a signed copy of Immortal Champion. Book #3 in the Immortal Brotherhood Series was served to readers this year. If you like Historical romances with smexy warriors on the cover be sure to order the first two books or drive by her website. What was Lisa's first job?


6. Nalini Singh is offering a signed copy of Slave to Sensation (Book #1). Which is was so sweet of her. It is the first book in her Psy-Changelings series. She has also written a deliciously tasty series about angels. What was one of Nalini's jobs?
