You know what I think? I think it's RAFFLE TIME!!!!

All right, peeps, it's time for a raffle to celebrate the release of my debut novel! I'm just a tad excited--can't ya tell? And I'm excited to share this love story with you. Here's what you have to do. Pay attention, now. Electric shocks coming to anyone who doesn't follow directions. Not really.

Ok, here goes. You've seen my list (probably) of love songs that inspire my writing. Now it's your turn to share. Tell me your favorite love song (title and artist) and why it's your favorite. Please post that in the comments of this post. I will pick a winner on Friday. Yes, you have that long. And I'm going to keep bugging you until I get some responses.

What do you get, you ask? You get a free .pdf file of "A Ranger's Tale", but that's not all. I am also giving away a $10 certificate good for All Romance Ebooks.com which I think can be used for any purchase on their site (even the non-romances). And, I just discovered that you can convert their files to your Kindle if you have one, by giving them your Kindle e-mail address (the one you use at Amazon). Ask me if you can't find where.

Now, get to posting those love songs. I'll ask the magic hat who the winner is this Friday, Feb. 4!

    My favorite is: Forever May Not Be Long Enough by Live

    I love it because it talks about the forever may not be long enough for their love. Totally love that.

    I'm gonna have to go with an older song: (Everything I Do) I Do It for You, by Bryan Adams. Theme song for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

    Power ballads = awesome. :D

    Oh, yes, LOVE that one! The movie was so-so, only because of Kevin Costner's atrocious accent, but the song rocks.

    Thanks for entering, Jasmine!

    First of all, I loved that you had I'll Be by Edwin McCain and Faraway by Nickelback on your list. I simply love those songs.

    I'm going to cheat too and give you more than one song because I just love music and love songs :p

    So, my first choice and one of the best love songs of all time (IMO): Air Supply - Making love out of nothing at all

    Other songs I love: Darren Hayes - So beautiful
    Backstreet Boys - Drowning
    Delta Goodrem - Lost without you
    Westlife - What Makes a Man

    And i could go on forever! But I won't :)

    I have 2 that stem from when my husband and I were dating. One is already mentioned in your list, Dolly Parton I will always love you.
    My second one may be a bit corney to some but has great meaning to me, especially with the years passing by so quickly. It is by Roy Clark (of Hee-Haw fame) If I had to do it all over again, I'd do it with you.
