Spring means love and gardening. Seventy-five authors are participating in the Authors in Bloom Giveawy Blog Hop starting today, April 9th to April 18th. Readers have a chance to win, win, win Giveaways-Gardening Tips-recipes by visiting authors o the hop.
First, a gardening tip. For a safe, no-pesticide way to rid your vegetable and flower gardens of pesky aphids? Use a Soapy Water Spray.
Recipe: 1 teaspoon to 1 Tablespoon of liquid detergent (regular, not extra concentrated type or dish soaps with lemon) in 1 gallon of water.
Spray the underside of leaves (where the insects usually like to hide). Test spray a few leaves or one plant first before you spray the whole garden. Be sure to spray early in the morning so the soapy solution won't burn the plants during the hot parts of the day.
The bonus is that your hands will be germ-free! Compulsively Mr. Darcy would approve!
2. For stopping at this blog and leaving a comment, telling me your favorite spring flower, you have a chance to WIN one copy of my debut novel, Compulsively Mr. Darcy. A signed print copy if US or Canada resident winner, an ebook (through Sourcebooks's site) if international winner. Deadline for this book's giveaway is April 18th, 11:59PM EST.
For extra entry to win, you can follow me on Twitter or Like my Facebook Author Page (Click on the convenient Twitter or FB link to the right). Please mention in comment if you participate in extra entry. Thanks.
What's the book about?
'Benneton's contemporary debut rides the wave of Austen-mania as miscues and misunderstandings threaten to separate Fitzwilliam Darcy, an obsessive-compulsive millionaire, and Dr. Elizabeth Bennet, an infectious disease specialist working in Vietnam. Darcy travels to Da Nang to support wealthy friends who are adopting a trendy Vietnamese baby, but he's driven to distraction by imagined tropical perils and hides in his hotel room. Once he and Elizabeth meet, there is definite chemistry, but their courtship is doomed first by Darcy's shame about his disorder and second by Elizabeth's assumption that he and Charles Bingley are a couple. Worse, Darcy's manipulative Aunt Catherine and her conniving stepdaughter have their own ideas about the shape of his marital future. Die-hard fans of everything Austen will enjoy this update of her classic tale.' (12/15/11)

:) The P&P is quite a hit. My mom and sister are big fans too. We have 3 different movies. And i have quite a few books. There on the keeper shelf. The story line (for me) never gets old. I love it! :) You have a wonderful night!
Oh, Shadow! Now I remember you from Aloha, right?
I'm so sorry you didn't win in the random drawing. I wish I could give everyone a book.
I saw bleeding hearts at a nursery once, and you're right, they're beautiful . I have you guys beat, I have 5 different versions of P & P.
My mom loves unique and unusual names. When i was younger, i hated it. But now that im older, i love it! Its nice being a one of a kind. ;) And those flowers are so cool. There tiny, and the petals are see through. You can see water droplets in them. There also very soft.
