Many thanks to Twin Cities author Mia Watts for donating a copy of her freshly released paranormal m/m romance, Freeze Frame (Faerily Imperfect, Book 3) for me to give away to a lucky reader! Read the rules carefully, because saying you want in on the contest isn’t going to be quite enough this time. It’s ok. It won’t be too difficult. I promise. Trust me. 🙂
Dill Harper can freeze time. It’s a faery gift which only works at the most inopportune times. Now he’s on a case for Harper Security, watching the very delectable ass of Mason Haliday, a man worth having, who doesn’t want to be had. When an unknown enemy puts a hit on Mason, the client and Dill are worried about the outcome. But how can Mason trust his heart to the man who’s been spying on him, despite the way Dill makes him feel under and over the covers?
You can read an excerpt here. (Don’t blame me if you’re unable to eat cheese after reading the excerpt! That’s all Mia…)
About Mia:
Mia makes her home in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she divides her time between a job and spying on people. Mia enjoys long walks in Como Park (except for the damn geese), daisies, dancing in the snow…(Delete prior sentence, meant for personal ad)…
Mr. Perfect may apply in person for a thorough evaluation and trial. All others will be towed.

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been having a rough time lately. I hope things improve!
*put thinking cap on* Things that make me happy:
– Rain on the roof when I’m lying in bed (it’s raining ATM so I’m hoping it continues as it’s almost bedtime);
– A weekend when I know my family won’t contact me and I have nothing on;
– Knowing the book I’ve been waiting to release for ages is about to be released and I can read it;
– Listening to my cat purr.
Hope that helps 🙂

Mayhem, I’m waiting, waiting, waiting for the windows to open, too. I do believe it will be soon. Don’t stop believing. Bleh, I hate that song but don’t stop, Mayhem.

One thing that makes me happy, a Starbucks Caffe Vanilla Frappucino. Simple and good for a few hours. Hope things improve. Love that photo of Mayhem. : )

Did May get an open window yesterday? GORGEOUS day!
My son makes me happy. Had some bad news at the doctor’s and my son gave me a hug, a kiss on my forehead and said “I’ll feel better when you feel better.” It can’t get much better than that. 🙂
What makes me happy is the sunshine beaming in my office window this morning making it nice and toasty and FINALLY getting rid of the meeting note from Friday that has made my boss and I’s life a living hell. There IS a light at the end of the tunnel.
And rainbows and unicorns and daisies. 🙂 Hope your week improves. Sounds like a fun book. I really enjoyed book 1.
Hmm. I’m having a hard time coming up w/ something that makes me happy this morning. Julia was super weepy and clingy this morning and I am kind of kicking myself for sending her to school…I think she could have used an emotional health day.
Ah well.
You make me happy! Your blog and your comments make me happy. 🙂
One day May, I promise…. Even if I have to come there and open it for you!!
Happy things… here is a random on.. getting actual mail in my mail book for a far away friend.
(And April 16th.. tax season over!)
I’m so sorry that Mia is having a rough time. 🙁 A good warm snuggle makes me happy. 🙂

Orannia! Thank you! 🙂 Tam, what IS your profile pic? It’s looks tattoo-y and fun.
Chris, thanks for the cheer up shout-out. I needed it. Gotta get out of my head and pay attention to others this week. That always lightens the load.
Nicole, your son is a gem. Awesome job raising him.
Jason, thanks! I’m right here. Come snuggle with me. I may even share the blanket.
Mia, I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having a rough time. I hope things start looking up for you real soon.
I’m looking forward to reading your book, the excerpt was intriguing.
What makes me happy…
Trying to type this comment with my 3 year old granddaughter on my lap asking question after question of her Nana. Drives me crazy but makes me very happy as well. Have a great day!
It makes me happy that my husband sent me a dozen roses for HIS birthday!
Getting my nails done in bright spring colors makes me happy!
Following the shenanigans of Chaos and Mayhem makes me happy!
Hope that helps…

Ooh! I’m sick at the moment, so maybe listing some things that make me happy will make me feel better too!
-Getting a new book and smelling it (if it’s print form – gotta love that new book smell), or uploading it to my reader and oogling it (if it’s electronic.)
-Curling up under my big comforter, snuggling up to my big body pillow, and knowing I can sleep for a few more hours.
– Hmm, I feel like one more thing might do the trick.. Having some awesome friends to cheer me up when I’m feeling sad or sick.

Hi Mia,
I’m sorry to hear about the rough patch you’re going through…I hope things get better soon 🙂

*cuddling with my cat Tigger
*buying books (print & electronic)
*eating something sinful and delicious (sugar anyone?) 🙂
*spending time with my Mum
Congratulations on your latest release.

You can enter me. And I can offer some good things.
* A quiet morning walk with The Dog, light mist, and the smell of early spring.
* Crocus. Some of my neighbors have crocus peeking out of the ground. Not me, I was too lazy to buy and plant bulbs in the fall.
* Hot chocolate before bed!
* Life sans pap smear.

.-= Miranda´s last blog ..REVIEW: Switch =-.
Soon, May, soon! But in the winter time, it’s best to keep them closed so you don’t have to listen to the squirrels. They’ll scold you for keeping them under surveillance. No Panther Princess should have to listen to that!
Are you sitting on the dining room table? Isn’t that a no-no?
.-= Brenda´s last blog ..What to do when alone and a little bit lonely… =-.
Sounds like a fun book with a very unique storyline. And since it’s m/m I’m especially wanting it. As to what I do to make me happy….I get a cinnamon dolce latte from Starbucks, watch The Golden Girls, and eat a slice of cheesecake. It’s the simple things in life that put a smile on my face.
Big hugs for Mia… I hope things turn around.
Some things that make me happy.
~The smell of a new book
~My brandy new fancy Nook 😉
~snuggles from my nieces
~Ice cream!
Sorry to hear you’re going through a rough spot, Mia. I hope things will turn around for you real soon.
Happiness is sitting in a comfortable chair in a warm spot of sunshine and reading a good book.
What makes me happy? Spring is in the air, new books to read, my grandsons,and my cats.
Hi Mia!
Sorry to hear you have been having a difficult time lately. ((Cyber Hug)) Given.
I was going to say spring, but I see that has already been suggested and reinforced. How about dinner out with a good friend, for nice conversation, excellent wine, and a tasty dinner.
Not to worry May – that window will open soon.
Best

What a generous offer. I’m not entering but wanted to say to Mia that these thing make me happy:
seeing banks of daffodils bobbing in the breeze
listening to cat’s purring
eating Italian ice cream
bags of Bugles
.-= mrspao´s last blog ..Good night, Ophelia =-.
You guys rock. Thank you for the notes. Um, I’ll only share Jason if I have too. There’s nothing like a warm cuddle from a friendly man-person. I promise not to take advantage. He wouldn’t be into it and I don’t want to feel skeezy. LOL. But a cuddle? Yeah, I’d take one.
Chris, you have a great group of readers here. Some real classy types with big hearts. <3
Aren’t they the best?! I know I don’t tell y’all that, but you really are. You cheer me up each and every day. Thanks for sharing that with Mia!
Picture of Mayhem (and/or Chaos) make me happy.
But no need to enter me in the contest. I’m just here to help cheer up someone else who needs it.

Oh, and poor May…some day, sweetie.

Hope things ease up for you Mia!

SPRING!!!
Windows to open soon.
Hi Mia, sending you hugs.
I love this time of year, springtime in sunny california always lightens my spirit. I love the colors of spring when the hills are a gorgeous green and all the bulbs and trees are in bloom. Just getting to open the windows during the day makes me happy.
Plus I just got back from Starbuck’s with a mocha frappicino, and that definitely makes me happy.
What makes me happy? Looking out the window and seeing warm sunshine instead of snow. I know it’s early but I’ve already dragged out the hammock and made sure I had the chains that attached to the hooks on the trees. I’ve taken a look at the pool furniture to see if any needs touch up paint and called the pool people to set my opening day. I’ve got a shelf of books calling to me to be read outdoors and I’m ready!

What makes me happy?
