Reviews are life blood to an author. Not only do they factor into rankings on sites like Amazon and Barnes and Noble, but they also keep us going. They keep us writing and improving. Even the not so nice ones can empower us to do better (sometimes just to spite the reviewer, I won't lie). But my books are a little lacking on reviews, so I'm running a contest to encourage some of those life blood enriching reviews out of the wood work.

​Starting now through...whenever the reviews stop coming in...for every review you give, you can be entered to win a $25 gift certificate to amazon.com. 

Here's how it works-
​If you have read one of my books, go to any book reviewing site of your choice (bn.com, amazon.com, bookstrand.com, bookbub.com, goodreads.com, and any others you can think of) and write an honest review. (I'm only asking for honest reviews. If you didn't like a book that's fine. Let me know. That's the best way for me to improve. You never know, the reason you didn't like the book might be the reason another reader would love it.)

The review must include a written review, but it can be as simple as 'liked the book', 'too much sex', 'flat characters', etc...Send me link to the review with your user name and you'll be entered to win the gift certificate. Simple as that. You can post the same review on as many sites as you'd like, each link will count as its own separate entry. Once I receive 25 links, I'll pull one winner from the list to receive the gift certificate. Once a link has been won it will be removed from eligibility but all the other links will remain eligible until the end of the contest. If the link is a verified purchase, I'll include something a little extra with the delivery.

​Never read one of my books before, but you want to participate? You still can. I currently have two books available for free. Read one of those, review it and you can enter to win.

How do you send me the link-
​There are multiple ways you can send the link to me. You can email me at willa dot c dot Edwards at gmail dot com. You send me a message through the contact me link on my website. You can post your link to the facebook message on my page about this contest. Or you can comment on this blog post (only comments with email addresses included will be counted. I need to have a way to contact you for you to win).

​Comment or email me with any questions. Happy reviewing! 

I've been planning this giveaway for a while but unfortunately life got in the way. But now with my edits and deadlines behind me and Christmas in front of me, now seems like the perfect time to announce this contest.

​Today starts out the beginning of my 'Like Me' contest. All you have to do to be eligible is to like my facebook page. Simple as that. 

https://www.facebook.com/willaedwardsauthor/

​The contest will run from now until I receive 250 likes on my face book page. Whether that takes three days or three months. Once my page hits 250 likes, I'll choose one liker at random to receive the prize. I will then contact the winner for shipping instructions. No personal information needs to be provide before that time. 

​And what do you win--five paperback books. These books house a total of 13 stories, 8 from me and a few extras for fun. More than enough reading to keep you happy for a few weeks (at least I hope).

​If you've already liked my page there's nothing else you need to do. You're already in the running to win. But if you want to tell your friends, I wouldn't have a problem with that. 

​You can log in and add your name to the rafflecopter, but remember to like my facebook page as well. That's where I'll be pulling the winner from.

To celebrate the release Total-E-Bound's Tied to the Billionaire anthology, we're hosting a blog hop, to introduce all our readers to the billionaire's we love.

Stop by the blogs of all the anthology authors over the next week, read the interviews of our billionaire doms, leave a comment and be entered to win either a $50 gift certificate or a six pack of backlist books, one from each author of the anthology. Its just that easy!

Start by reading my interview of Richard Barrett, the hero of Working For Him. This Dom knows just how to make all the ladies swoon, especially the ones he employees.

WE: Thank you so much for being here today Mr. Barrett. I know you’re a busy man and have a lot to do.

RB: I’m happy to be here.

WE: And Mrs. Barrett, I’m so glad you could make it as well. 

SB: It’s Mrs. Carter-Barrett actually. I’m thrilled to be here too. Any press, is
good press for the company.

WE: Um, sure...Mr. Barrett, for all those at home, can you describe to how you became a billionaire?

RB:  I’ve always been fascinated by air travel, even from a young age. My parents had a private jet, and we would often take trips to see the world, but I was always more interested in the flight and the pilot than the locations we were going.

At sixteen I got my first pilot’s license. And I was hooked. After graduating from Wharton with my best friend Dante, we started our own airline,
Vertical Aeronautics. In the eighteen years since its creation, we’ve grown the business to the largest airline in North America.

WE: Wow, that’s very impressive. You seem to have a real passion for your
work.

RB: Thankfully, its one I share with my wife. He grabs his wife’s hand and looks lovingly into her eyes.

WE: That is fortunate, but I happen to know that’s not all you share a love of. When did you first explore the world of BDSM?

RB: He straightens his posture in the chair and looks forward. I believe in college sometime. Dante brought me to my first club. I just walked around and watched at first. It was all so overwhelming, people spanking, whipping, caning all over the place, in states of semi dress. I felt completely out of my element, until I watched a dominate in one corner blindfold and spank his submissive. I got so aroused by how she knelt before him, begging for each slap, I almost came on the spot.

I went up to the Dom after and asked how he could make a woman do that. He laughed, and asked me why I wanted to know. When I explained how it made me feel, he explained to me the basics of BDSM and told me to come back when I was sure what I wanted. I came back the next night.

He taught me everything I know. All the tricks I still use to this day. He
looks at his wife, curling his arm around her shoulders and tugging slightly on her hair. She blushes and looks down. 

I make a point of teaching what I know. Other Dom’s need to know the best ways to keep their sub happy, while also keeping her safe and protected.

WE: I understand you wanting to protect other subs. But have you ever made a mistake in your BDSM?

RB: Physically no. But I definitely made a mistake by not letting Serena know how I felt about her earlier. I almost lost her because of it. Thankfully, she found a way to forgive me.

WE: You are one lucky man. Why do you think Serena is the one?

RB: Serena’s the only women I’ve ever been with that truly wanted me. Not my money, not my dominance, but me. She’s truly one of a kind. I was blessed to have found her.

WE: What’s your favorite part about Serena as a submissive?

RB: Her ability to give me everything in that moment. With Serena there’s no half way, when she submits she gives me everything. More than I deserve some times.

WE: What’s your favorite part about Serena as an employee?

RB: Her passion definitely. It’s what lead me to hire her. It’s what makes me
thankful every day that she works for me, and not the competition.

WE: What’s your favorite part about Serena as a wife?

RB: laughs. I think we should be married at least a month before I start picking favorite traits. 

WE: Fair enough. So what plans do you both have for the future?

RB: Well, I’m definitely looking forward to some quiet. It’s been crazy with all the interviews and reporters interested in hearing about our story and our marriage.

WE: looks down sheepishly. Sorry about that.

RB: Shakes his head. We’re definitely looking forward to spending some time as a married couple and getting back to an equilibrium. 

SB: And there’s a lot of integration work to be done with Argonaut Air.

RB: Very true pet. We just bought out another airline, Argonaut Air, and we’ll be spending quite a bit of the future merging the two companies. After that, who knows. The future’s ours. He brings his wife’s hand to his mouth and kisses her palm.

WE: I don’t want to keep you too any longer. Thank you so much for your time. I’m sure I’ll be seeing you again soon.

RB: Winks. You can bet on it.

I'm over at my friend Tina Donahue's blog talking about the trouble my characters cause, and particularly what they do that I have no interest in.

If you get a chance, please stop by. There's also a chance to win a prize, your choice from my back list, if you leave a comment. Hope to see you there.
