It’s contest central around here this week, but that’s okay. I love giving away prizes, and today we’ve got a good one! Leila Brown has donated $75 in Restaurant.com gift certificates, and Donna & I are throwing in a few copies of the previous Last Call books. So it’s a give-away bonanza!

First off, for those of you who have never heard of the series, the Last Call books are short, wicked erotica tales that are all about supernaturals finding that special someone (or someones) who can help them ease their otherworldly needs.

We had fun writing the stories, but more than once we were asked if we’d ever throw the series open and let other people write them. It was an interesting idea, so earlier this year we did just that. The result is Last Call Europe, serving up paranormal fun on a new continent!

Leila Brown wrote the very first of the Last Call Europe books, bringing us a naughty tale of leprechauns!

There are two ways to enter the contest. The first is to buy a copy of Irish Creme. We’ve arranged with Changeling Press to secure a 5% off coupon, good for your entire order. So to enter the contest (and to save money!) use the coupon code IrishCreme when checking out, and your name will be tossed into the virtual hat five times.

The second way to enter is to reply to this post and tell us which of the existing Last Call books you’d most like to win. You can find blurbs for all of the Last Call New York books by clicking on the covers above, or visiting the series page. So tell us which book strikes your fancy, and you just may win a copy! (You have to pick one, though–no saying you’d like to win all of them or I’ll know you didn’t read the rules. See how tricky I am?)

Contest runs through July 15th, and winners will be announced around July 20th. So fire up your browsers and have fun!

So how will the Last Call Europe stories differ from the originals?  Well, different authors, for one.  And more variety.  I don’t think it’s a secret that Donna & I love our werewolves, and a good number of our Last Call stories had at least one werewolf in it.  Leila Brown is busting the top off, though, and kicking us off with a couple of Leprechauns!

Ciarran, an Irish traditional witch, has had her luck stolen by vindictive Leprechaun. Without her luck everyday life has become a trial. And her spells are more like miss-spells. There’s only one thing to do. Go to the Last Call Bar and order up the right drink.

Irish Crème: Only the extremely lucky need apply. Make it a Double!

Decllan and Niall came to Last Call to relax on the one night a year they get together. Neither of them expected they’d end up spending the night with an out of luck witch who needs their help. Luckily they’re up for the job.

In the later part of the month we’re going to organize a contest to celebrate the kick-off of the new series, where you can win fun gift-certificates to restaurant.com as well as backlist copies of the original Last Call books.

Heck, why not start today. For your choice of the Last Call books reply to this post and tell me what supernatural creatures you’d love to see in a Last Call story! (Bonus points if you think up a drink name to go with it!)  A couple random repliers will get the Last Call ebook of their choice.  (You have through the end of the weekend!)
