It's Twilight Time!

Thanks to the amazing G over at GReads! (and a few of her awesome friends), I get to re-visit the book that got me off my tush and into writing: Twilight.

That's right, starting today GReads! is hosting a Twilight Re-Read Along, and you guys are more than welcome to join in! I've listed below the 5 questions posed by Ginger for us to contemplate while re-reading the first 5 chapters, but for all the details on this event, please go visit her website here.

And I do hope you'll all join in the fu...

TGIF over at GReads!

The awesomeness that is Ginger (or G, as I like to call her) over at GReads! has created a great meme that is tons of fun. Each Friday, she poses a question for anyone to answer. Go check her out and join in!

This Friday's Question:

Summer Love:

Where's your ideal place

to take a summer vacation

and get lost in a book?

I must give G some credit...she comes up with some great questions, right? So, where is my fave place to get lost in a book? Well that's an easy one...in a book! haha!

Nah...

Just an FYI

Hey all, I don't really have a post set up for today, so I thought I'd let those of you interested know that my publisher, Pendrell Publishing, is now accepting requests for ARCs of my book, Blood Born.

Yes!

So, if you'd like one, please visit their website for information (they're also taking requests for Indelible and Eternal Starling, too).

And just in case you were wondering, my publisher is reading through the initial revisions I made, so I'm eagerly awaiting word on those so I can get...

Waiting on Wednesday: Alex Van Helsing: Voice of the Undead

The lovely Jill (a fellow Alabamian!) over at Breaking the Spine created the Waiting on Wednesday meme for us bloggers to showcase books we're waiting on.

This week I've done something new to me: I've chosen the second book in a series that I haven't even read yet. Yeah, weird, I know. But yesterday I came across Book 1 in this series and immediately ordered it, so when it gets here I'll be tearing into it like a madman. And naturally I'm gonna want the second one! If you've never heard of...

Monday Must Reads!...Spellbound!!

Okay so if you happen to follow me here at writers write, right?, then you may have noticed that there is no Meet an Author Monday post today. That's because I neglected to contact an author last week to set up an interview for today. My apologies.
Now, I foresee this happening more in the future, so to offset my lack of organization I've come up with a replacement for those missed Mondays. Please say hello to Monday Must Reads!This little meme has been created for the sole purpose of...

This Friday's Question:

And I Quote:

What are some

of your favorite

book quotes?

As always, an excellent question. And one that isn't easy for me. As a reader, of course I have quotes that I love--pretty much from every book I read. But I don't write them down or lock them in my memory f...

Giveaway Winners!!

First off, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who Tweeted and Re-tweeted about my giveaway...you guys are the best!

Just a quick reminder of what the "rules" for this giveaway were: Be a follower (of the blog or Twitter) and Tweet/comment...that was it! And since some people told me that they didn't use Twitter (and some that don't use blogger but tweeted about the giveaway anyway), I made a tiny change. If you tweeted about the giveaway or commented on this post, you were in! That way, you don't ...
