Lexxie Couper - Down Under Divas - Contest Continues

Lexxie, Lexxie, Lexxie .... 

Wow, I thought my 3 year old nephew was lively but nothing compares to this Aussie and her energetic personality. Lexxie Couper had me going from the first night we met. 

Even though I had not read a single thing she had written at that point I was still overjoyed to met her. Rhian and Lexxie kept me and my friends up all night/ morning the first night we met, hell they even came back to my hotel room with us (I can honestly say that was a first for me, bringing someone I just met at a bar home/ or at least to my room with me *Grin*)
There are a few things I've found out about Lex since meeting her. 1 - She has a sweet tooth, she loves her Aussie chocolate. OMG you should have seen the amount of Tim Tams this lady brought! For those of you who don't know what a Tim Tam is, I feel sorry for you. They are the best chocolaty yummy cookie. I've had them before when I traveled to Australia but they taught me what a Tim Tam slam was and I can't even being to explain the yummy goodness. (Lex even gave me a couple*Grin*). 2- She also really likes Sun Chips and has a craving right now for them.But sadly can't get them in Australia, they are in the mail *Grin*. 3- She is a very generous person and loves to make others laugh. She is the biggest character I've ever met.4 - Did you know that Lexxie does video book trailers? Yes she does!!Check out her Youtube account, she does some brilliant work too.  And 5 - She is a  FABULOUS author. After coming home from the convention Lexxie was one of the authors I stuck on my "must read" now list and I now await paydays so I can get a new one.

Lexxie and the other Divas are Twitter users, so  my friends friend them and you might get lucky like I did. I was surfing "The Twitter" (that's for Mari Carr - xoxo) feed when I saw Lexxie post about needing some feedback on her current WIP. Now would you not jump on that? I did.  She gave me a tease, the first four chapters, of it and HOLY MOLEY!!! I can't wait to see the finished product. You will be very happy with it let me tell you. I know I won't be forgetting it anytime soon *BIG GRIN*

I asked Jess to tell me something about Lexxie and this is what she said "she's wonderfully twisted, she's too bloody nice. And an incredible author."
Awww- Such Diva Love.

 Lexxie lives by two simple rules – measure your success not by how much money you have, but by how often you laugh, and always try everything at least once. As a consequence, she’s laughed her way through many an eyebrow raising adventure.

Endless Lust (Seven Deadly Daemons, Book Two)

Release Date: March 2011

Length: Novel

Cate Sinclair’s life is ruled by lust. Day and night, awake and dreaming, an unseen force plies her with pleasure to the point of pain. Each orgasm wrenched from her exhausted body stealing her energy, her very essence, until insanity seems a sweet relief.

When Eamon enters her life, Cate’s uncertain if the gorgeous, enigmatic man is her salvation…or the cause of her worst nightmares.

Reader Advisory: Our heroine endures endless amounts of forced seduction. But how do you fight advances from an enemy you can’t see?

 Now just a few quick questions:

1. What is your favorite thing to read? 

Too hard. Um, how bout we say favorite things, plural? Is that okay? And that being the case, romance. Followed by horror. Followed by comedy. Followed by sci-fi.

 
2. If you had to choose 5 things you couldn't live without, what would they be?

Better say my husband first :) Then my girls, Tim Tams, Colin Firth movies and toothpaste.

 
3. What is the craziest thing you've done (that you'll admit to)? 

Broken into a science lab to free the animals caged there. It was crazy because I knew the night guard. I didn't get caught but it was bloody close.

4. What is you biggest guilty pleasure? 

Hmmm...watching rom-coms when I should be writing and calling it research? *grin*

5. What would you do if you found out you only had seven days left to live?

 

Only seven? Shit. How did that happen? Hmm...okay, apart from the obvious (cry, bawl and refuse to stop hugging my daughters...) I'd eat whatever I bloody well wanted. God, I'm so superficial *sigh*

Is there anything else you'd like to tell your fans? Upcoming releases? Trips? Conventions? Contracts? 

Oooh, where do I begin? I've got three upcoming releases with Samhain this year (all contemporary erotic romances), a dragon shifter rom-com hopefully releasing with Ellora's Cave later in the year and about five horrotics sometime over the next twelve months. Added to that Rob's story is finally coming out in January (for those that have read Triple Dare). Yay! 

Oh and I'm also attending (and speaking) at the Romance Writers of Australia's convention in August in Melbourne so if you feel like a quick trip Down Under you can come give me a hug in person (I love hugs *grin*)

Like I said earlier in my post, Lexxie is a very generous person, so generous she has lovingly donated an e-book for this weeks contest.
