Lipstick of the Day:  #124 Chanel Lotus Rouge

Drink of the Day:       Anything with Caffine 

WereLions, Alpha Males, and Red-Hot Animal Attraction.  The Beckett brothers are WereLions who know how to make a woman purrrrrrr……….

Jules Kingston is a WereLion destined to be the next Lioness of the White Sands Pride. Her fathers, having decided to step down as Leos, have put out a call for a pair of lions to mate with their daughter. Before settling down with mates and a litter of cubs, though, Jules wants to spread her wings.

Of all the Lions in the Pride, Gabriel and Lucas Beckett are the only two who make her panties wet-and the last two she would ever take on as mates. When the brothers stake their claim, she runs, cursing her hormones for reacting to such prime specimens of her species.

Gabe and Luke have known for years that Jules is meant to be their mate. The trick will be to convince their woman she belongs to them. As expected, Jules leads them on a merry chase.

Then a mate fight and hunt is called by a rival pair. To win Jules as their own, Gabe and Luke must prove their dominance over the Pride-and their woman.

I wanted to do something special to celebrate my first release so……..I’m giving away an eBook reader.  YAY!!  Details can be found on my contest page.  The contest runs from April 15th until June 30th, 2008.  Good luck to everyone who enters!!

Once I finished writing Claiming Their Mate I wondered what happens after Jules, Luke, and Gabe’s happily ever after.  If you’d like to read more of their story check out the EVER AFTER page on my website to see where they are six months after their mating.

I hope you enjoy reading Claiming Their Mate as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day.

Lipstick of the Day:  Beauty by Clinique

Drink of the Day:      Diet Coke with Extra Ice

Good morning.  Tomorrow is release day!!  I’m nervous.  And excited.  But mostly nervous.  In Claiming Their Mate the characters are bold and brassy.  The men are total Alphas.  Jules, the heroine - she holds her own with them every step of the way.  Well…almost every step.  And they’re shifters, cat shifters, my very favorite kind.  The kind that make you purr. 

Angie, my editor from Samhain Publishing, is blogging about all 6 Cat Shifter releases at www.writemindedblog.com today.  Stop by and check it out.

To celebrate my first release I’m running two contests.  The first is for a $10 MBaM gift certificate.  Sign-up for my newsletter at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/paigemckellannews/  by midnight on April 15th to be entered in the drawing.  The winner will be announced here on my blog and at the Cafe on April 16th.

The second contest….go to my Contest page by clicking the link above on the menu bar to find out how you could win an eBook Reader. I’m giving one away to celebrate the release of Claiming Their Mate.

Fellow author Kaye Chambers has a great contest going on to celebrate her release of Tiger By the Tail, which also releases tomorrow from Samhain Publishing.  Check out her site at http://kayechambers.literalseduction.com for details.  This is one contest, and book, you do not want to miss.  Sasha’s story is too good to pass up.

Thanks to everyone at the Samhain Cafe Yahoo group for their gracious hospitality yesterday.  Tomorrow Kaye Chambers, Dana Marie Bell, Marie Harte, J.B. McDonald, Taryn Blackthorne, and I will be at the Cafe with contests, excerpts and conversation  for the release of our books.  Hope to see you there.

Have a great day!!
