Rockstar Crush Day - Party & Giveaway

Today is Rockstar Crush Day here at my blog. It's an occasion I invented to celebrate the release of my friend author Veronica Moreau's new book Lick and a Promise, which released today.

So how does Rockstar Crush Day work? It's pretty easy - if you leave a comment on this post confessing your #1 current or former rockstar crush, you'll be included in a random drawing for the sparkly handbag pictured below - a prize hand-chosen and supplied by Veronica.

So... Who is / was your rockstar crush? Everyone's had a crush on a rockstar at one point, right?

I'll start things off by confessing mine. I love music (who doesn't?), especially rock and alternative rock. AFI has been one of my absolute favorite bands since I was a kid. And when I was a teen I had an epic crush on the frontman / vocalist Davey Havok. I still think he's pretty damn cool, so I can look back on this crush with zero embarrassment. In case you don't know who he is, please allow me to enlighten you - here's a picture of Davey. (Yeah, I've always liked men with awesome tattoos!)

Actually, I have the whole band's autographs on the sill above my writing desk right now. I got them at one of the AFI shows I've attended which were, by the way, freaking amazing. Whoa, that's enough rambling from me. *Ahem* My confession was supposed to last for one sentence, not two paragraphs.

As for Veronica, she loves classic rock and I happen to know that one of her rockstar crushes was Tommy Lee from Motely Crue. Okay, so I'm pretty sure just about everyone knows who Tommy Lee is, but here's a picture anyway (gotta love that glam metal make-up! LOL :). Well, now that I've got 'Too Fast For Love' stuck in my head, here's today's prize!

Between the sparkles and the bow, this brand new handbag is dangerously synonymous with my style. However, I promise not to steal it from Veronica. One of today's commenters will win it! It's available to be shipped within the US, Canada and the UK. So if you're located in one of those countries and would like a chance at it, just leave a comment including your e-mail address confessing your rockstar crush. A winner will be randomly selected on 1/09/13 and contacted via e-mail.

If you'd like to earn easy extra entries toward the handbag, feel free to complete some of the Rafflecopter entries below.

Please Note: Veronica has an alter-ego and it's Lisa V. Proulx. She uses some social media sites under this name. Don't worry ... it's still Veronica!

Veronica Moreau is author Lisa V. Proulx's erotic fiction alter-ego. Veronica writes about the wild world of sex, drugs and rock and roll…raw, steamy erotic fiction with a rock and roll edge.

When Lisa isn’t busy writing about her latest rock star hero or daring heroine, she can usually be found on her farm in Maryland, raising Rottweilers, belly dancing and – of course – listening to the classic rock that has always inspired her.

Lick and a Promise

Diary of a Rock Star Groupie

During the era of Classic Rock, Poppy Bishop was a teenage runaway. At 18, she was in bed with the lead guitarist of one the biggest bands in rock history. She went on to become Poppy Bleu, a “famous” groupie who bedded rock stars, their wives (and girlfriends) and became a junkie by the time she was 21. However, she never forgot her first rock star…and he never forgot her.

For over 20 years, Poppy Bleu was known in the rock and roll world as the best backstage lay and liked, loved and hated by some of the world’s biggest rock stars. Her story is one of sex, drugs, and rock and roll and how she went from groupie to junkie to author and became the love of a lead guitarist’s life who saved her from a life of ruin.

Download it in your preferred e-book format right here at Smashwords.

Note: Lick and a Promise is also expected to be available very soon at more retailers, such as Amazon and B&N.

I've already read Lick and a Promise. It definitely lives up to its promise of being the diary of a rock star groupie. It's fiction with a sprinkling of truth, but Poppy seems real enough to be a real-life 70's girl determined to get her rock star. I felt like I was reading about a real groupie as I followed Poppy's tumultuous journey. This book is realistic in all aspects and is for mature audiences only (containing explicit sexual content as well as drug use). I'd describe it as realistic, erotic fiction with a happy ending. If that sounds like your cup of tea, I hope you enjoy it too!

P.S. Veronica - my favorite part was when Poppy got stuck in the car on that looong roadtrip with her aunt listening to that old-fashioned super-religious music on a loop. I've never seduced a rockstar, but man, can I relate to being stuck on a long drive with that music playing! LOL I truly, deeply felt for her in that moment, maybe even more so than the moments of serious trouble in the book!

Thank you for stopping by to celebrate Veronica's release day with me!
