Today marks the final day of the Bound by Lust book tour. A million thank yous to everyone who hosted blogs, wrote blogs, read blogs and who bought or read or liked the book.
To celebrate the end of our virtual tour, I’m giving away two copies of Bound by Lust, signed by me and shipped to yourself or a lusted/loved one. How to enter? It’s easy:
1. Do something nice for one of your favorite authors. Any author, not just the ones in Bound by Lust, not just an erotica author. Write a fan letter on paper and send it in the mail, drop them an email, give their book a good review on Amazon or Goodreads, tell your social media how much you love this particular author and why. The goal here is to remind authors that we love them, that we read their work, that they’re not toiling in vain. (Clearly, this works best if your author of choice is alive, so that he or she can be buoyed by your nice deed). However, it doesn’t have to be a published author; if your favorite author is budding or unpublished, that’s great too.
2. Leave a comment below and tell me a little about the awesome thing you did.
You have one week! I’ll draw two names on Friday the 13th. Let me know if you have questions. Go show some love to your favorite writers!
Kiss kiss bang bang, s.

Aw,what a nice idea. Does treating myself to a cupcake count?
You should totally treat yourself to a cupcake. But nope, has to be someone other than yourself. You already know how awesome you are
I left a supportive message on Virginia Flowers blog AND offered to beta-read a piece (after I got married). I did that before I saw this blog post. Do I get double entries?
I think Antoinette’s should count–as long as she was engaged at the time of the offer.
On Facebook, I just promoted an author-friend’s promo/video blog (Jeremy C. Shipp, who wrote the excellent bizarro horror anthology “Fungus of the Heart”); also, I’m midway through a review of another author-friend’s novel (Nancy A. Collins, “Darkest Heart”) – the review will be posted on my site (Reading By Pub Light) in a half hour.
Later, gator, and congrats to whoever has their name drawn. =)
Reblogged this on The Sex-Positive Parent and commented:
If you’re looking for some hot summer reading material…
I went ahead and dropped a couple emails to Brian Sanderson and Terry Pratchett, just letting them know how much their work has inspired and entertained me. And then I dropped a facebook message to my favorite erotica writer, letting her know how much I appreciate her as a friend -and- as a writer.
I just read “Two or Three Things I Know for Sure” by Dorothy Allison. It helped me find the voice I needed for my memoir. I was so inspired and thankful that I left a review of it on Amazon.
Anytime I see a list of authors I already know and love with a title that tries to capitalize on the 50 Shades popularity (things along the lines of “Similar to 50 Shades”) I share the crap out of it — online and in the office. I also pimp Laura Antoniou’s stuff to anyone I know in the genre who /hasn’t/ read her stuff – as well as writing a positive review for it on Amazon just the other day! ^_^
Would buying a short story collect from here count? Never mind the fact that I know Scott’s a helluva guy…

I dropped a snail mail letter in the post today for Tamora Pierce. I discovered her books in the second grade and they changed my life. Her writing saw me all the way through high school, and looking back it’s easy to see how much her carefully written, strong women have influenced my world view. Thanks for the impetus.
(Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… )… no, just buying a book doesn’t count. This contest is about sharing the love. Leave Scott a note!
I posted a four-star Amazon review for Justine Elyot’s delightful new book “Game” — the first review that book has gotten. I also posted four-star reviews for Rachel Kramer Bussel’s anthology “Please, Sir” and for an Xcite collection featuring a fantastic story by K.D. Grace. So I think I’ve honored my favorite smut authors this week!
Antoinette M: You won the first copy! (I random rolled and your number came up).
Please contact me at shanna dot germain at gmail dot com to claim your copy.
Will roll for the second copy at the end of today.
Best, s.
My girlfriend works at a hat shop on the other side of town. This morning she wanted to bike to work but she REALLY also wanted to eat a big watermelon with her co-workers when she got to work. She’s been really good to me recently so I told her to bike to work like she wanted, and I would drive her watermelon over to her.
I’m on the phone with her right now and she’s telling me how delicious it is 
I love her so much and I love making her happy!!!!!
Random winner #2: Kim E.
