Blogfest winners: I want to thank all the participants in blogfest - both hosts and entrants! I had a lot of fun visiting a TON of new blogs - my feed reader is exploding! It amazes me how many bloggers I find every day. A big thank you to all my followers both old and new! I hope that I can get you to stick around!

I had one small rule for blogfest and that was for a google follow - I figured if I am giving away boxes of books - on my dollar - the least I could ask for was a follow - Unfortunately the first winner that I drew could not be verified as a google follower so I had to generate a new number. And that was:

87 - Jodi - confirmed

92 - Sue/okibi_insanity

151 - jellybelly82158 - confirmed

Congrats to all!

Once winners have been emailed - they will have 48 hours to reply - at that time, any unclaimed books will be given away on twitter. (except for Blogfest - a new winner will be drawn)

Desperate Deeds by Dee Davis - Blog Tour and Giveaway

Desperate Deeds

by Dee Davis

Blog Tour - Aug 9 - 20

As the demolitions expert for A-Tac, a black-ops CIA unit masquerading as Ivy League faculty, Tyler Hanson has two great loves: literature and explosives. She lives by the motto "Duty First" and doesn't have time for personal attachments . . . until a steamy one-night stand turns into a professional partnership.

When Tyler meets Owen Wakefield, a handsome British operative, she seduces him with no intention of ever seeing him again. But then the sexy Brit is brought into A-Tac, and despite Tyler's efforts to keep her distance, she finds herself falling for him. Trusting him.

Owen seems too good to be true - and he is. He's hiding his true motives and identity, and no matter how he feels about Tyler, he can't keep her secrets. One of A-Tac's members has turned traitor and helped terrorists to hijack a shipment of nuclear weapons. As witnesses start dying and evidence starts disappearing, Owen and Tyler must race to find the mole - and prevent a final, cataclysmic act of destruction.

Dee Davis has a BA in Political Science and History, and a Masters Degree in Public Administration. During a ten-year career in public relations, she spent three years on the public speaking circuit, edited two newsletters, wrote three award winning public service announcements, did television and radio commercials, starred in the Seven Year Itch, taught college classes, lobbied both the Texas State Legislature and the US Congress, and served as the director of two associations.

Her highly acclaimed first novel, Everything In Its Time, was published in July 2000. Since then, among others, she’s won the Booksellers Best, Golden Leaf, Texas Gold and Prism awards, and been nominated for the National Readers Choice Award, the Holt and two RT Reviewers Choice Awards. To date, she has sold eighteen books and three novellas, including Chain Reaction and A Match Made on Madison.

She’s lived in Austria and traveled in Europe extensively. And although she now lives in Manhattan she still calls Texas home.

You can find Dee blogging at The Whine Sisters with several other authors or on Twitter and Facebook.
