Bayou Book Junkie is turning 3-years-old on November 10th and to help us celebrate with you all a lot of our favorite authors donated prizes for a huge giveaway! Since there are so many gifts we decided to divide them all in 4 weeks, so each Rafflecopter will last one week. So, good luck everyone and we hope you'll join us during the whole month!
PS: Please note that the paperbacks are US Only, thanks for your understanding!
We've included our first week's featured authors' bio and links so you can check them all out:
Aimee Nicole Walker:
I am a wife and mother to three kids, four dogs, and a cat. When I’m not dreaming up stories, I like to lose myself in a good book, cook or bake. I'm a girly tomboy who paints her fingernails while watching sports and yelling at the referees. I will always choose the book over the movie. I believe in happily-ever-after. Love inspires everything that I do. Music keeps me sane.
I’d love to hear from you.

Cardeno C.:
Cardeno C. - CC to friends - is a hopeless romantic who wants to add a lot of happiness and a few "awwws" into a reader's day. Writing is a nice break from real life as a corporate type and volunteer work with gay rights organizations. Cardeno's stories range from sweet to intense, contemporary to paranormal, long to short, but they always include strong relationships and walks into the happily-ever-after sunset.
Heartwarming Stories. Strong Relationships. Forever Love.

Lily G. Blunt:
Lily G. Blunt writes contemporary gay romance. Her upcoming story is a polyamorous paranormal tale involving five men, one of them is a vampire and another is a wolf shifter. She loves to explore the relationship between two men and the intensity of their physical and emotional attraction in her writing. Angst often features in her stories as she feels this demonstrates the depth of the men’s feelings for each other. Lily is forever writing imaginary scenes in her head, but only a few ever make it to the page. There never seems to be enough hours in the day. She reviews for several blog sites and has recently launched Gay Book Promotions, a new online book promotion service for authors of LGBT+ romance and fiction.

Luna David:
My name is Luna David and I’m a true romantic at heart. I married my soul mate years ago and I love him more with each passing day. We have five-year-old twins together and yes, we’re exhausted most of the time.
I’m a stay at home mom and an author, so when I’m not begging my little monsters to stop—throwing things, hitting each other, jumping off the furniture, having meltdowns, screaming, eating stuff off the floor, yelling at each other, playing with their food, running into the street, and destroying the house—you’ll most likely find me writing.
I love anything book, coffee or dark chocolate related and can’t think of a better way to pass the time than to combine all three. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t addicted to reading or creating my own stories—if only in my head. It took me a long time to gather the courage to put those stories to paper, but now it’s an addiction I couldn’t stop, even if I wanted to.
I read romance novels voraciously and while I prefer contemporary romantic suspense with strong Alpha males finding their soul mates, I’m a sucker for any romantic story, regardless of genre. But if it’s a bit naughty, has a bit of excitement, and a whole lotta love, I’m hooked.
I created the Custos Securities Series because I love to write what I love to read. My books feature strong dominant males and the men they would die protecting. Toss in a bit of BDSM and you’ve got my Catharsis Novel subseries.
So, if you’re a fan of sensual kink, and you’d like to take a chance on some erotic, suspenseful romance, check out my Custos Securities Series. They’re all available on Kindle Unlimited, so stop by my author page to learn more: http://amzn.to/2fBWoT3

Elaine White:
Elaine White is the author of multi-genre romance, covering everything from paranormal, crime and contemporary. Growing up in a small town and fighting cancer in her early teens taught her that life is short and dreams should be pursued. Living vicariously through her independent, and often hellion characters, she lives comfortably at home with a pack of wolves cleverly disguised as one standard poodle.
The Winner of two Watty Awards – Collector's Dream (An Unpredictable Life) and Hidden Gem (Faithfully) – and an Honourable Mention in 2016's Rainbow Awards (A Royal Craving) she has explored the worlds of multiple genres but remains a romantic at heart. A self-professed geek, Elaine has fallen in love with reading and writing LGBT romance, offering diversity in both genre and character within her stories.
You can keep in touch with Elaine on the following sites:
Nora Phoenix:
When she was a little tot, Nora’s mom got a library subscription for her. That, as they say, was that, and a lifelong love for books was born. Nora never stopped reading and doesn’t exaggerate when she says she devours books, rather than plain reads them. She started writing stories as soon as she could hold a pen, and wrote her first full book as a teen (on a typewriter!). It took her waaaay too long to follow her dream to become a romance author.
Nora writes M/M romance, because hello, sexy boys, and likes her men flawed, strong, and a tad broken. She appreciates a little kink, but insists on a happy ever after.
Come hang out with Nora in her Facebook group Nora’s Nook where she shares previews, sneak peeks, freebies, and much more: https://www.facebook.com/groups/norasnook/

Parker Williams:
Parker Williams firmly believes in love, but is also of the opinion that anything worth having requires work and sacrifice (plus a little hurt and angst, too). The course of love is never a smooth one, and happily-ever-after always has a price tag.

ReplyDeleteI read something on the blog everyday. I think it is great already.
ReplyDeleteYour blog gives a lot new-to-me authors names to pay attention to. But maybe you can also have reviews of books from > 5 years past as well since there are plenty of "old" books that I wish newer readers can discover.

I love character's interviews, and snippets of oncoming books

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you! Wishing you all a great celebration and thank you for the brilliant giveaway! You have such a mass of authors it's difficult to think of any others as you already have many of my favourites :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary. Can't think of anything that has to be added to the blog.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Maybe you already do this and I missed it, but reviews of older books are a great way to find books I missed before.
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy. Great set of week 1 authors. You already do so many things well. Only thing I might add is something not necessarily your bailiwick, nor that of this audience, but I also dabble in non-romance gay fiction, so maybe a look at a good book once a week as something that people might possibly branch out to. - Purple Reader,
