Welcome to Day 7 of Winter’s Favorites.
Today Virna DePaul is sharing her uummm…. Favorite thing about Winter?
I will let her explain.
Winter-Shminter
I’ll be honest—winter isn’t a season I truly look forward to. I’m a wimp when it comes to extreme weather (hot or cold), and I tend to gain weight and suffer from depression. Given all the holiday sales, my compulsive online shopping also tends to rev up and I become even more of a homebody than I already am. Since none of this makes me feel better about myself, you might say winter is one big annual guilt-trip just waiting to pounce.
My favorite thing about winter is when it ends and spring comes around. J
That said, winter does have it good points. Getting to wear cute boots and layers. Getting to build fires and spend more time snuggled under the covers. Holiday festivities, traveling, and vacations from school and work. And, of course, I read and write and generally lose myself in fictional worlds where heroines are adored by their heroes no matter how much they weigh, characters face their fears and become better people, and far more exciting things than Internet shopping take place.
Yeah, I’m more of a spring/autumn kind of girl, but love, good friends, and good books get me through each day no matter what season it is. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and fabulous new year!

Chosen By Sin
Coming January 2012
The longest life isn’t always the happiest one…
Five years after the Second Civil War ends, humans and Otherborn— humanlike creatures with superhuman DNA—still struggle for peace. To ensure the continued rights of both, the FBI forms a Para-Ops team with a unique set of skills.
For now, werebeast Dex Hunt serves on the Para-Ops team, but his true purpose is to kill the werewolf leader he blames for his mother’s death. Biding his time, Dex keeps his emotional distance from his team members and anyone else he might care for, including a mysterious vampire he met in LA.
As a doctor, vampire Jesmina Martin has dedicated her immortal life to healing others. As a scientific researcher, she’s trying to prolong life spans, in particular those of her adoptive dragon-shifter family and the werewolf who saved her as a child. Her greatest hope lies with Dex, a werebeast she believes can gift immortality to others.
Only Dex knows nothing about his gift or the fact Jesmina wants to harness it. After a passionate night together neither expects to see the other again. Weeks later, they are reunited in France and forced to acknowledge a fragile miracle—a new life struggling to survive. At the same time, they must stop a group of rebel shape-shifters hoping to unleash every demon in hell. But before Dex and Jesmina can save their child or the world, they must relinquish their secrets, face their fears, and open themselves to love.
.Virna is offering a copy of Chosen by Fate.

Chosen by Fate
Book 2 in the Para-Ops Series
Although he keeps company with a vampire and a were, human Shaman Caleb O’Flare can definitely hold his own. But neither his psychic ability nor his healing powers can help his sexy-as-hell teammate, Wraith-a ghost with no memory of her human existence, who cannot experience touch without pain. No wraith has managed to exist past its tenth year, so her time is about to run out. She wants only two things before accepting her fate: to learn her human identity, and experience one night with Caleb..
