Friday the 13th Blog Hop




and she will display the link to the next stop in the Hop in her post. Each blogger will do the same, so you'll be visiting every link in the Hop's chain. If that host is offering a giveaway on his/her blog, go ahead and enter to win their contest.

*NOTE* These contests are not connected to the grand prize drawings at the end of the Hop! They are for those individual blogs.

Follow the links as they lead you to the grand prize forum at the end. Fill out the form provided there and you'll be added to the drawing. Among the prizes are books, gift cards, and a Kindle. That's right. Enter to win and you'll have a chance at the grand prize--A Kindle!

So, if you came to me first, you might want to skip over to her and follow the chain. You don't want to miss out on the great posts the others are sharing! With all the amazing authors taking part, this should be a fantastic day of hopping!


Today, besides being blog hop day, is National Blame Someone Else Day.
Let’s embrace the absurdity that each day is dedicated to some inane thing and put our tongues firmly in our cheeks and blame someone else.
So this blog isn’t my fault. Let’s just put that out there.



I blame not being on the New York Times Bestseller List because Nora Roberts and James Patterson are hogging all the spots.



I blame Joe Bastardi for it raining when I want it to be sunny.



I blame my typos on Sholes and Glidden typewriter who first used the QWERTY keyboard.



I blame the recent earthquakes on kids jumping on their beds.



I blame climate change on Al Gore.



I blame racism on Rush Limbaugh.



I blame obesity on McDonald’s.



I blame Facebook and Twitter for my lack of time to write.



Let’s spread around all this blame. Who do you blame for what?



Chris Redding lives in New Jersey with her husband, two kids, one dog and three rabbits. She graduated from Penn State with a degree in Journalism. She has published 6 books to date.





Almost there to the last stop on the Friday the 13th Blog Hop!

Excerpt: Blonde Demolition



The hot spray hit Mallory's sore muscles like a thousand needle points. Her heart raced. Her mind sped past it. What could he want?

"Ask me." She heard his voice through the translucent panel of the shower door. That voice that could send a thrill through her. That voice that had whispered to her of naked pleasures. That voice attached to a body that could fulfill those pleasures.

She shuddered, not surprised to see him. He had a knack for pushing through her boundaries.

"Do you mind? I'm naked, Trey."

His laugh rumbled from the depths of his amazing body. "I've seen you naked. In fact I could probably draw a road map of your body."

     Her mouth went dry. She finished her shower and turned off the water. She let out a noisy breath before she opened the door. He would not get the best of her.

Trey McCrane held her towel as if he planned to make her barter him for it. A twinkle lit his ice-blue eyes. "Towel?"

     She leaned on the metal frame of the stall, refusing to be intimidated. "Give me the towel."

     He did, easier than she thought. His gaze roved over her as intrusive as if they were his hands. Even if she hadn't been naked, she would have felt that way. Trey could look through people.

This is the best blog yet. Very funny. But I'm stuck now. If I click on the picture it just brings up the photos. If I click on the belleconsult.com link I get her schedule a consult page. No new blog. No form for a contest.
