Welcome to the SFR Holiday Blitz!
The holiday season upon us, and that means 2010 is simmering just below the horizon. Start your New Year off right with a chance to score a FREE read in one of the hottest up and coming genres around--Science Fiction Romance!
Twelve bloggers have teamed up with 17 authors for your chance to win over 30 SFR books. Whether you're new to the genre, or a fan looking to add to her collection, this event is for you.
There are no quizzes to answer, no hoops to jump. Gotta love that.
For your chance to win On Wings, Rising by Ann Somerville, all you have to do is leave a comment for this post. Print book prizes are limited to U.S. residents. The deadline to enter is midnight E.S.T. on Friday, December 11, 2009. The winner will be announced on Saturday, December 12, 2009.
Here's the blurb for On Wings, Rising from the My Bookstore and More site:
Dinun can’t fly—but he could be the answer to an Angel’s prayer.
Barely tolerated by his own kind, Dinun is a self-reliant soul who scratches out a living from the great, empty lands of Quarn. Always looking for unexpected treasure, he never dreams of finding an injured Angel.
Moon belongs to a race of telepathic winged humanoids. Exquisitely beautiful, sexually playful, Angels have always fascinated humans. Dinun’s feelings for Moon take flight as they become lovers, but a planetary invasion could destroy their future together.
Centuries ago, humans on Quarn saved their race from destruction by joining their DNA with that of the Angels. Now full-blood humans are stealing Angel children—including Moon’s son—for barbaric experiments. The full-bloods are prepared to slaughter anyone who gets in their way.
Thrust into a desperate race against time to save the infants, Dinun and Moon must battle against a people with weapons far beyond anything the Angels—or their human friends—can hope to defeat. Dinun brings to the fight his bravery and a determination to be true to himself. Will that be enough to save the children, and win the Angel he’s come to love?
Planetary invasion? Threat to lovers? Endangered races? Exciting stuff!

Well I'm in. There are a lot of interesting books being handed out for this.
Have a great Christmas or holiday, whichever you prefer, and thanks for the giveaway!
I'm an avid Romance reader and slightly more than occasional SciFi reader. I only very recently discovered SciFiRomace genre books and I'm very interested in reading more. I'll be crossing my fingers in hopes of a few freebies to help the pocketbook out a little. :)
Also, what an awesome way to publicize these great blogs. There are many that I haven't ever visited before, enjoying the tour de blogs!
SFR Holiday Blitz--This is a fantastic present for all SFR readers! Thanks. :)
Hmm, a new author I should try out. Please add my name to the hat!
The prize looks like an ebook, so count me in, please. Happy Holidays!
I just read your Name Game post and thoroughly enjoyed it. I believe you are in good company with Once A Princess, too!
I hope everyone will visit the Alien Romances blog, since 8 books are being given away there!
Thanks, Rowena! I'm sure I've "stolen" more than a few already been used titles ; )
I'm on my way over to the other blogs myself.
And thanks all who have commented so far! This is fun, isn't it?
Fun contest! I love reading Romance but haven't read much SciFi. Great opportunity to change that...Thanks and Happy Holidays!
Cathy,
This is immense fun. I've been over at Twitter, but it seems that if I do a Search, I cannot retweet what I find.
Also, I've discovered that there's a limit to how many friends I can inform on GoodReads.com
Patti, you've come to the right contest to wet your SFR-reading feet : )
Rowena, I'm not on Twitter at the moment, so no help from this quarter, I'm afraid. And bummer about GoodReads limiting the number of friends. How can they justify punishing the popular kids like that??? : )
(Please don't beat me, GoodReads! I'm just joking.)
I love SFR! Count me in please
Thanks for the contest - put my name in as well..

I'm in, although I've only read Sinclair and Lichtenberg.
SFR is new to me having only heard of the subgenre today, but now that I know it exists I'll look for some of these books in my local bookstore to see if they appeal to an old-fashioned reader of old fashioned science fiction.

I came here from tor.com. Thanks for offering the chance to win this book--the premise reminds me of one of Andre Norton's books that I really liked!

I'd love to get my hands on these titles. I'm writing my first novel now and suspect it would be marketed as a science fiction romance. But I definitely need to research this genre and find some great, comparable novels.
Thanks for this contest!

I enjoy Lois McMaster Bujold's Science Fiction Romance novels. I'd like to try On Wings, Rising by Ann Somerville.
