Heidi Rice: Bestival, Chestival and another Goodreads Giveaway

So, I've had a cracking summer this year, what with the Olympics and Paralympics in my home town, a great ten day holiday sunning myself and reading 50 Shades of Grey on the Cote D'Azur and then to top it off a completely AWESOME trip to Bestival on the Isle of Wight this weekend.

Both a couple of festival virgins, my sister Julia and I borrowed our mum's camper van and headed off into the wild blue yonder (wild being the operative word with no hot showers for four days!) and had an absolute ball. I've got pictures on my Facebook page, but highlights included New Order doing Love Will Tear Us Apart Again as an encore, Stevie 'Freaking' Wonder, Sister Sledge, Rizzle Kicks, Emile Sande (what a voice!), dancing all night in the Drambuie Lounge with wellie boots on (boy, did my feet ache), putting glitter on our faces and fairy lights in our hair, laughing are butts off on Dress Up Day (never seen so many fit blokes dressed as tigers!)... And the sunshine, which lasted all weekend and meant that most of those fit guys were bare-chested - in fact, Juls and I decided to rename it Chest-tival! Yum.

And to celebrate my fab summer I'm doing another Goodreads Giveaway. Now, this one's a little special. It's the Australian release of BTW I Love You which not only includes my linked books Surf, Sea and A Sexy Stranger and Cupcakes and Killer Heels, but also a reprint of my first ever published book Bedded by a Bad Boy. This story of motorcycle-riding bad boy Monroe Latimer and fiery English rose Jessie O'Connor is very close to my heart, for obvious reasons, and hasn't been in print since 2007...

So if you want to read the story that got me started, you've got til 11th October to enter.
