Booty Tuesday --Kristen Callihan's Firelight

Carrying home booty

This is Booty Tuesday and, as is my wont, I am giving away absolutely free with no strings attached, wonderful books.

Signed.

This week is your chance to win a SIGNED copy of Kristen Callihan's first book, Firelight.  Those of you who are particularly alert in these matters will know Firelight was just listed by Library Journal as one of the ten best Romance books of 2012.  (Click on that to see the Library Journal entry which is very interesting.)  Callihan is sharing the limelight with folks like Nora Roberts, Loretta Chase, Grace Burrowes, Cecelia Grant, Sherry Thomas and Susan Elizabeth Phillips.

Cool, huh.  Are you going to tell me you haven't read Kristen Callihan yet?

Oh dear.  But, wait -- we can remedy that.  This is Booty Tuesday.  Book-winning may be in your future.

From the book:

"Why do you wear that mask?"

"Asks the woman whose beauty might as well be a mask."

"Pardon me?"

The immobile black mask simply stared back, floating like a terrible effigy over broad shoulders.

"What is beauty or ugliness but a false front that prompts man to make assumptions rather than delving deeper.  Look at you."  His hand gestured toward her face.  "Not a flaw or distortion of line to mar that perfect beauty.  I have seen your face before, miss.  Michelangelo sculpted it from cold marble three hundred years ago, his divine hand creating what men would adore."  He took a step closer.  "Tell me, Miss Ellis, do you not use that beauty as a shield, keeping the world at bay so that no one will know uour true nature."

"Bastard."

They have this kinda adversarial relationship, these two.

To be eligible to win Firelight, write and post a poem in the comment thread of this post. 

Use one of the following words from the cover:

Kristen, Callihan, firelight, fire, light, great, price, talent, sexual, tension, jaw, drop, plots, weave, brilliant, dark, darkest, London, series, flame, ignite. woman, torment, plague, birth, strange, powerful, gift, entire, life, struggle, contend, exceptional, abilities, innocent, irreversible, mistake, family, fortune, decimate, forced, nefarious, nobleman. burn, eternity

Your poem can be a 
Limerick
Haiku    (traditional or non-traditional)
Rhymed couplet
Quatrain  
blank verse
or any other rhyme or poetry form you fancy.  I am not particular.

I'll pick one lucky commenter (US and Canada only, sorry) from the comment trail on Saturday.

You can also buy Firelight here should you not be feeling poetical.  Overseas folks can buy Kristen's latest book, Winterblaze, from Book Depository, here.   

EDITED TO ADD:

Booty Tuesday has TWO books to offer this week.
One signed copy of Firelight
And one signed ARC (That's advanced reading copy.  It's the first, first, first look at the book in print) of Kristen's new book, Winterblaze.

There will be two chances.  The first is for folks who have written a poem and it's for the best poem.
The winner gets to choose which book she wants.

The second chance -- this one a simple drawing -- is for the remaining book, whichever it is -- and both folks who write poems and those who just comment will be entered in that one.

So if you really, really really can't write a poem, you still have a chance to win a book.

And if you can write a poem, you have two chances.

I feel as though I've made that very complicated, but it's quite simple really.
