Excerpt from Death By Poison Book #2
Everyone had plenty of time to get the banner up and the tables decorated before the happy couple arrived.
Sally volunteered to be the lookout and let everyone know when they arrived. Mark waved everyone off, “I’ll be Sally’s partner to make sure we alert everyone.”
G.G. had the tablecloths and Megan walked over to help her. “Hey, G.G. are you excited Justin is going to pop the question?” Megan asked as she shook out the cloth and made sure her table was straight.
“Oh, yes. I will be so glad to have them tie the knot. I need more grandchildren, so they had better get with it.” G.G. placed the balloons with the words ‘Congratulations’ written on it in the center of each table.
“Hey, ladies does this look even?” Matt asked as he and James hung the banner over the bar.
“What do you think G.G.? Looks even to me.” Megan tipped her head to sideways to make sure.
“Same here. Boys be careful getting down from those ladders, we don’t want anyone to have an accident.” G.G. moved over to make sure the partition was pulled closed so that the family could hide behind it.
“Guys, we have ten minutes. Let’s hurry it up.” Megan checked her cell phone to make sure they had time.
G.G. was running around making sure it all looked perfect.
“That’s it everyone on the other side of the wall. Mark will you take the video camera and stand in the doorway to catch her expression?” G.G. was counting people to make sure no one was left out in the open.
“Sure thing.” Mark went to take the camera from her and moved into place.
Sally’s squeal, “They’re here.” caused everyone to hurry to their places.
Allie walked through the door expecting to see the floor covered in water from the leak.
“Hey Stan, where are you? I thought you said there was a flood in here.” Confused she started toward the bar until her eyes adjusted from outside and she saw the banner.
Justin followed her in waiting for her to notice and got down on one knee. In bold black letters it said, WILL YOU MARRY ME? Right underneath it in smaller blue letters were the words AND MY FAMILY? 
Turning towards Justin with a look of astonishment, Allie turned to see him down on one knee. “Allie will you do me the honor of letting me love and protect you? I want to love and cherish you for the rest of your life. Will you marry me?” Justin looked hopefully up at Allie.
“Yes!!! Yes!!! I will marry you and your family.” Laughing, Allie looked up and saw the family together peeking through the partition trying to see.
“I’ll think I will keep all of you, no matter what, if you will have me?” Gesturing for them to come on out and join them.
Sally ran over and jumped into Justin’s arms, “I’ll marry you Uncle J, if she ever gets rid of you. I’m next in line.” All of the adults burst out laughing.
“Sally I promise if I ever decide to get rid of him you have first dibs.” Swinging her around in a circle.
“How about this, since you can’t have Justin for a husband, will you settle for being my flower girl?” Allie didn’t want Sally to feeling left out during the wedding rush.
“Duh, I thought you would never ask me.” Sally rolled her eyes at the question while the adults around her tried not to burst out laughing.

~Excerpt Reveal~ Walkin' On The Sun by Paul Delisle


Title: Walkin’ on the Sun: The Official Smash Mouth Biography
Author: Paul Delisle     
Genre: Rockography
Hosted by: Lady Amber's Tours



Blurb: Hello. My name is Paul DeLisle. I’m the guy who wrote this book. You've probably never heard of me. That's okay. Most people wouldn't know me from Adam. But, unless you've been living in a cloistered monastery for the last fifteen years, you have heard of my band.

So begins the memoir of the creation, rise, and current state of the multi-platinum recording artist Smash Mouth as told by bassist Paul DeLisle. Well known for their hits “All Star,” “Walking on the Sun,” “Then the Morning Comes,” “Can’t Get Enough of You Baby,” and “I’m a Believer,” the band carried the spirit of a generation, but didn't stop there. Enjoy this behind-the-scenes look from Paul’s unique, there from the start, insider’s view.

Hello, my name is Paul DeLisle. I’m the guy who wrote this book. You've probably never heard of me, and that's okay. Most people wouldn't know me from Adam. But, unless you've been living in a cloistered monastery for the last fifteen years, you have heard of my band.

There's an episode of Cheers where washed-up ball player Sam Malone, frustrated with either Diane or Rebecca, proclaims, "Y'know, most people don't know this ... but I’m famous!"

I love that line. I can totally relate. You see, I am a founding and continued member of the band Smash Mouth. Yet I am, proudly and alas, the bass player. I’m not famous. My band is.

From the beginning, Smash Mouth was set up as a democracy between four musicians and a manager, each player having an equal voice on band matters. Yet we were all fully aware and accepting of the fact that, as lead singer/frontman, Steve Harwell would be getting a disproportionate amount of attention. Seeing as he is the face and mouthpiece of Smash Mouth, you may be a little disappointed he didn't write this book.

But stay with me here. Because as you'll see, I have a unique vantage point: as one of only four original constituents, I’ve been involved in every aspect of the band since day one. Only Steve and I have trod every step of this Smash Mouth journey. Also, while traditionally under-recognized, the bass player himself sees everything. Plus I went to college. Who better to write a book about Smash Mouth?

That said, keep in mind this book is solely from my point of view. Steve, Greg, Kevin, and Robert would obviously have different takes on certain events. However, this book is simply intended as a comprehensive account of our rise to fame and continued success.

~Book Blitz~ This Means War by A.M. Wray


Title: This Means War
Author: A.M. Wray   
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Suspense
Hosted by: Lady Amber's Tours



Blurb: 
All words that Taylor would have used to describe her dream employer, Alexander Stone – CEO of Stone Literary Agency. That is, until she met him. Now there are much different words coming to mind… 

Overgrown Man-child. 

Her incredibly serious, professional demeanor clashes with Alexander’s sweetness and vibrant sense of humor and he loves to get her angry. He just can’t seem to wait to hear the next terrible thing she’ll say to him. Taylor, however, isn’t one to back down and Alexander manages to bring out her own dark humor as her need to get even with him at every turn gets the better of her. 

The game only barely gets started when she gets a little friendly advice that she can’t seem to shake. Things begin to change for Taylor and she begins to find the girl that she used to be. The more these changes take place, the more her life seems to spiral out of her control. 

When her secrets catch up with her as trouble comes knocking, everyone she loves is put in danger. Taylor’s life is threatened and she learns that Alexander has some secrets of his own. Maybe he isn’t just the sexy yet silly, unprofessional man-child she once thought him to be after all…
