 Some of the things I will have with me...

Say you wanted to read some of my #books for #free...

The Secret to a longer life...

Okay, here's the deal:

A lot of you eat right.  You might exercise.  Some of you might not drink diet soda because it can give you cancer.  Everyone has something that they do in an attempt to make a couple more trips around the sun.

But I know the secret, yes--secret!, to living a longer life.

For a limited time only (or forever, depending on how long blogger keeps this blog up.  One or the other) you can find the secret here.

How much will the secret cost you?  Many of you are asking this question.  Some places charge hundreds, even thousands of dollars for the secret to a longer life.

Live your dreams...

But here, on the blog of Virginia Nelson, Author, you can get the secret FREE.

Yes, I said FREE.

What do you have to do?

Well, just keep reading!

Sound too easy?  I know, it does.  But it is really that simple.

Are you ready?

Here goes:

The secret to a longer life is...

Fill every day with as much crazy, memory making, side achingly funny, heart achingly wonderful, sometimes tear-filled memories possible.  Yes, live your life to it's fullest.  Dare to go after your dreams.  Dream bigger.  Chase rainbows and tornadoes.

Have an adventure.

My theory is that when your life flashes before your eyes at the very end, if you have done all of that list, you will have a long instant recap to watch.  Tons of things that make the memory reel.

And you have then extended your life...

Plus, you probably had a helluva time doing it.

Happy writing!

A week of releases!!

As you might have noticed on the blog here, I have a new release today!

*releases the confetti and the hounds!*

*realizes it is almost 2am in my timezone and that releasing the hounds on the readers is a bad idea... calls back the hounds*

Later today I will get you buy links because I know you are all dying to read Lips of Velvet! I don't think you will be disappointed. It is sexy, fun and frisky. Just like I like em.

And I know it isn't live yet because I just searched it on Amazon and I got a bunch of lipsticks...which was sort of amusing...

But I have lots in store for you readers, as I mentioned, to celebrate this release.

Coming this week:

1. A blog tour.

So far, you can expect to see me over at Wendi Zwaduk's, Lisa Pietsch's and Buffy Christopher's blogs. More is to come and I will get you dates on those blogs as soon as possible because I know you will want to see what kind of antics I get into when I am off visiting others...

2. Contests

Because I know you guys like free stuff. So I am going to be giving away a copy of Lips of Velvet at some point to some lucky reader. And an Amazon gift card or two. You will just have to stay tuned for details... And maybe something else. I don't know. I am busy containing those hounds...we will see what happens...

3. Guest Bloggers with MORE NEW RELEASES

Yes, THERE ARE MORE NEW RELEASES. And I read one of them and plan to read the other (as I have a fangirl reader crush on the author since I stumbled upon one of her books a year or so and became addicted) and who knows who else I can talk into visiting the blog this week. Maybe I can even get that devastatingly handsome 35yoAlcoholVirgin over here. Who knows what will happen!! *Yes, I am still struggling with the hounds. They don't LIKE to be called back*

4. You didn't catch the blurb?

Okay, I will share it again. You talked me into it.

Bookworm Sandra is dragged out for a night on the town by her sister. When she meets the sexy and exotic Lucy, she is instantly attracted to her. But will their spontaneous combustion burn out as quickly as it ignites or will it lead to a long term flame?

Lucy can’t help but be drawn in by Sandra’s intelligent and fun nature. But when Sandra suggests that she was just using Lucy for sex, Lucy is a strong enough woman to hide her broken heart and walk away. A chance meeting brings them back together. Will Lucy seek revenge for a moment of stupidity?

YES!! It really releases TODAY. *throws more confetti*

Okay, get ready for a party, Virg style!!

How about a free book?

It has been awhile since I have had a contest.

This doesn't seem fair, somehow.

I like free stuff. I figure you do too...

So how about a chance to win?

All you have to do to enter is tell me your favorite flavor of ice cream. Seem too simple?

Spring is coming. Temperatures are rising...

Ice cream is good.

Email me for your chance to win you can take your pick between a free PDF of either Odd Stuff-- my bestselling paranormal and beginning to the series-- or Clothing Optional, an erotic short story that released in December.

So tell me, what flavor fills your cone?

Good luck!

Contest deadline is March 6th. Entries can be sent to virg_nelson@yahoo.com
