About Tina Haveman
Tina Haveman is the founder and CEO of eXtasy Books and Devine Destinies. Tina was born in Europe, left there at age eight, then traveled to several countries with her parents, to finally settle in Australia for many years. She immigrated to Canada in 1973 where she has lived since.
After raising a family of five as a single mother, she finally found time to concentrate on her writing. In 2000 she started her own publishing house with a partner but became too busy with eXtasy and Devine to continue her involvement and withdrew to focus entirely on eXtasy and Devine.
Tina devotes all her time to her publishing house and authors and is grateful for the success her company is experiencing. “After many years of struggling to keep my head above water while raising five children on my own, I have much to be thankful for,” said Tina. “While the company affords me a comfortable living now and I have quite a staff aboard, I thoroughly enjoy what I do and won’t stop until someone up above tells me it’s time.”
About eXtasy Books
eXtasy Books first opened its doors December 2002 with a small website that was soon revamped into a more business like site. Within a matter of months, eXtasy outgrew that website and had to build another site to accommodate its growing catalog. Since then, the site has been revamped a number of times. Our imprint, Devine Destinies, started in 2008 to accommodate mainstream, YA, inspirational and children’s books.
Since eXtasy’s birth, it has seen several upheavals, but with hard work, a loyal staff and a loyal stable of authors, eXtasy managed to survive them, along with the depression that hit our countries hard.
This past years has seen tremendous growth at eXtasy and we have moved our website to our own dedicated server to accommodate its growing readership.
We publish a wide variety of stories ranging from short stories to full books, pricing kept reasonable to accommodate our readers. Prices range from 1.59 to 5.99.
eXtasy Books has always been and is a devout supporter of e-books and e-readers. There are so many print books destroyed every year, it’s unbelievable. Go Green, is our motto. Save our forests! With so many new e-readers on the market, think about the ease of taking books along when traveling, getting rid of dust collecting books in your house, thereby making more room, being able to read a book on your phone or handheld while going to and from work on a bus or train. Think about the many books you can store on your computer. And think about the books you can hide from nosy relatives or children…
We have an attractive reward program in place. Receive 5 dollars on first sign up for an account that can be applied if you spend 20 or more dollars. For every purchase you receive 10% of your total in rewards. These rewards can be saved or you can use them when you come back to buy more books. We’re always looking for new ways to make our site a great shopping experience. Come and visit us at http://www.extasybooks.com and/or http://www.devinedestinies.com

I’m not sure how to go about joining the Virtual Blog Tour for eXtasy books and Devine Destinies… Is it all right if both my writing personas add their blogs to the tour?
I would love to have you on board, Celine! Drop me an email at thewriterslife (at) gmail.com.
international?
I like the idea of a kindle fire that I can carry around easier than my laptop. I can also use the tablet to read extasy ebooks.
Id love to win this for my mom. I have one and she loves to play it. Its hard for us both to read books on it when we both share it. Thank you!
I’d like to be able to read and buy more books easily.
id love to win because …well.. who wouldn’t!? i wanna win the kindle because i still carry a book everywhere i go so my purse weighs a ton all the time!
My parents travel a lot and I think they would love to have a Kindle Fire to travel with.
I would love to win a kindle fire so I cab quit reading my books on my phone!

I’d like to win the Kindle Fire so that I can read my ebooks on a screen that’s bigger than my teeny tiny phone’s screen. Eyestrain hurts.
I’ve wanted a Kindle Fire since they came out. My dad told me the other day he wanted one too, so if I win I will give it to him, to thank him for all that he has done for my family.
I would love to own a Kindle Fire, because I wouldn’t have to carry so many books everywhere!

I’m book lover, but i dont have any gadget to help me read ebook. so, i just could bougnt paperback edition. Its more expensive, and need much place to take it. However my wardrobe was full by that. And if wanna buy book from overseas, it would need long time to come to mine. If only i can win this one, I can read and buy ebook. Plerase gave to me :(
I would love to win so I can have all my books in the palm of my hand
I’d love to win to have more flexibility with the eReading experience :) Thanks for the chance!
Sometimes my hands hurt holding a book, especially if it is a heavy book. As I do lots of reading, a Kindle Fire would be nice…thank you
I love the idea of a Kindle Fire because all my books will be in one convenient spot and very portable!

I am dying to have an Amazon Kindle Fire! I would love to read books from it.
I don’t have one.
I would love to win a Kindle Fire! I love the fact that when I need a new book all I have to do is go online and voila! Also it’s just easier to take everywhere and I don’t think it’s light would keep my hubby awake in bed ;)

I’d love to be able to read and surf the web on the go! I spend a lot of time waiting during my kid’s practices!
I would love to win for my kids to use it! Thanks! So many great books and apps for the Kindle!
I love the idea of seeing the book covers in color when I read ebooks . . . and also watching some shows and movies on it when I travel :)
I’d like to own a Kindle so I could read whatever I want when traveling or on a road trip.
As a book reviewer, an eBook reader would be really handy (and my Nook has seen better days)
I’d like to win one for my mom. She loves reading and would really like one!
I would like to win this for my mom!
because i am book lover and if i dont have ebook reader. Its difficult that if i want to buy paperback edition from book depository need until 3 weeks to arrived to my country,
I really want to be able to read, listen to books, watch movies and such all on one device
I would love to win this for my daughter to give as a Christmas gift.
I would love to win the Kindle Fire to have a tablet computer that can do so much. I read every days, a lot of ebooks, but these are also great for email, games, social media, web searches, music, videos, etc.
trying to read books on the go with a laptop is getting old. I need something that I can grab and read a kindle fire will do nicely.
