Valentine's Day Winner!

I hope everyone had a beautiful and happy Valentine's Day! I had a great one. My little guy was my Valentine (he's three years-old), and we hung out watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates and reading picture books. Yep, it was a mommy's Valentine's Day :-) Though, the movie Bunraku did arrive at my house, and that was a nice surprise. I mean, who would want sexy Japanese rock star, Gackt, playing the role of a bad ass samurai at their house on Valentine's Day?

But enough about my Valentine's Day. You guys stopped by to see who the winner of the giveaway is! As I always do with my giveaways, I created a list with everyone who commented, and dropped it into Random.org to mix it all up and give me a winner. And that winner is....

Terri!  Congratulations!  I'll be getting in touch with you soon via the email address you posted.

To everyone, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you. See so many of you stop by, familiar faces and some new ones, I'm just so very appreciative. Your compliments and sweet words gave me many smiles, and having your support means more than I can ever fully express. I've said before that my readers rock, and you do! It's always hard picking a single winner for these giveaways. But in the next few months, I'm going to be working on a sexy little short story featuring a familiar couple from the Conquest series and I'm going to post it for free on my website. That way everyone can have something for free!

Thank you again, everyone, for all your kindness and support!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I know for some this isn't their most favorite of holidays.  But hey, I'm a romance author.  It's not only my job to love this day, it's my job to spread the love :-)  Here's the thing, though.  I have a little bit of a different interpretation of Valentine's Day.  So often this day is looked at as being one reserved for those in intimate relationships, but I like to think the meaning of Valentine's Day is much broader than that. 

For me, it's not a day to be celebrated only with a significant other, but it's a day to celebrate love in general, and all the varied and beautiful forms it takes.  The love for your friends and family, the love for a pet, the love for yourself, and all the good things in the world.  It's about recognizing all we hold dear, and to be grateful that we have the ability to feel and share such a beautiful emotion.

And so from me to all of you, Happy Valentine's Day.  Much love and big hugs to you!  Oh, and here's candy, too.  Eye candy, that is ;-)

P.S. - If anyone is looking for a Valentine's Day read, last year I wrote a free short story with Jesse and Evan from the Conquest series spending their first Valentine's Day together.  It's up on my website, http://www.sjfrost.com/, in the Freebie Reads section, title is "Valentine's Escape."
