My last minute Ack… Drake From Beg Me needs votes…

The next GRIMM book is like ttttthhhhiiissss close to being done. Been planning a last minute getaway with the DH-our 15th wedding anniversary is coming up. My easily-distractable brain has been…well, distacted.  And I wasn't watching a competition-gasp! (I'm slightly competitive.) Especially when really cool prizes are involved.

And Drake from BEG ME fell behind in Summer's Hottest Hero! He needs more votes! It ends soon!

Annnnndddd…. it's over… we'll see if I pulled ahead or not on Friday!

He's a hot hero…or some people think he is. You can read excerpt and see. Will you vote for him?

Writer Wednesdays…Duffy Brown

Today's WW is with Duffy Brown.

Writer Wednesdays

What's the one thing that remains unchanged during your writing process, from one book to another? (ie: Intensive plotting? Music?)

A: The writing process is pretty much the same…getting books in on time, revisions etc. Authors write but what is changing is marketing and sale of books

What's the one piece of advice you'd give a new writer?

A: Think of writing as plan B. Do not quit your day job.

What's the one piece of advice you wish was wiped from the minds of writers everywhere?

A: I'll write a book this week and put my kids through college

What's the one book you think everybody, writer or not, should read?

A: Anything…as long as you buy it and not pirate it.

Interested in reviewing…

Locked in Silence, which is book 5 in the Grimm's Circle series?

Shiloh needs a few book bloggers to do reviews on Locked in Silence…

Dying is hard enough. Coming back to life is brutal.

Grimm's Circle, Book 5

Vanya has been hunting and killing demons ever since one of them scarred her face and killed her sister. Correction—since she was forced to kill the demon possessing her sister.

Then some sort of angel offers her a deal she can't refuse—that if she becomes one of them, she gets to kill even more demons. Tonight, she's made that choice. The death she smells on the air will be her own—and she welcomes it.

Silence feels a darkness is looming. Change—something he has every reason not to welcome. The deeply hidden memories that robbed him of his past, of his own name, render him unfit to teach anyone the ways of the Grimm. Yet here he is in the dankest sex club in town, waiting to assume his charge—after he stands by and watches her die.

When Vanya awakes, their complicated, dangerous dance begins. And so does something else—a searing need that blisters along their unexpected mental connection. Silence shouldn't be drawn to his student, but once they touch, he can't think of a reason to stop. Even though acting out their darkest desires puts them in more danger than they realize.

Warning: This book contains sex-starved demons, lonely angels, demon-angel sandwiches, blood, violence, death and a happy-ever-after.

 

 

Then email me (NOT SHILOH!) at grimmhunter.shilohwalker(at) gmail(dot)com.  Make sure to include a link to your blog.  We'll check them out and a couple of people will get digital copies of the book.  Also, if you could include in the subject line, Locked in Silence review request.  It'll help me filter and keep track of you .

Please note… this isn't a contest.

This also isn't a 'Shiloh's giving you a book, so you have to give her a good review.'  All she asks for is your honest opinion, posted to your blog either the week of last week of August or first week of September.

ETA: Also, the reviews have to be on a blog…you can also post to FB as well, Amazon, Goodreads, etc, if you choose, but the review must be on your blog.

Keep in mind that if you've received ARCs from Shiloh (or if you receive this) and you don't get the review posted by the agreed time, you're less likely to receive ARCs from her in the future.  This isn't done to be mean, but she only sends out a limited number and those who get the reviews posted by the agreed date will be those who get first priority.

Saturday Snippet

It's not a work in progress… it's from IF YOU SEE HER, the book I'm editing.  But I like this scene.

Remy reached up and rubbed the back of his neck.  This day, it just wasn't going to get any better before it ended, was it?

Then he knocked on the door and it took yet another crazy turn on him.

He should have been prepared to see her.

Really.

But when the door opened and Hope Carson stood there, framed in a wedge of light, those dreamy, green eyes so sad and quiet, her mouth solemn and unsmiling, Remy thought his heart just might stop.

There just wasn't any way he could prepare himself for seeing her.  There wasn't any way he could prepare himself for what seeing her did to him, mentally, physically, emotionally.

Shit.

Oh, shit, he did not need this.

Lust reached up and grabbed him around the throat, squeezing and choking the air from his lungs even as it heated the blood in his veins.

This was the absolute last woman on earth he should want—she was trouble, in so many ways.  She was troubled, and that was just one of the reasons he didn't need this.

This was the absolute last woman on earth he wanted to want—she just plain and simple was trouble—he could feel that in his bones.

And yet, as he stared into those big, green eyes, he did want.

Hell, did he want.

read another excerpt... (hey, did you vote in the next round for Summer's Hottest Hero?  Drake Bennett from Beg Me could use your votes…He made it to round two.  Can you get him to round three?)

Summer's Hottest Hero

All Romance Ebooks is having a contest for Summer's Hottest Hero and DRAKE from Beg Me is in the running.

Quickie excerpt… you can read the rest here.

"I want to ask you for a favor," she said, staring at him over her wine glass.

Drake told himself he could get through this—he told himself he wasn't about to lose it, thinking about how sexy and sweet she looked in a short, flippy little tan skirt that left too much leg bare. He told himself he wasn't all but drooling as he thought about the breasts under her close-fitting, clingy black top. He also told himself the dinner had been delicious, but he couldn't remember what it tasted like or what he'd even eaten twenty minutes ago. Some kind of chicken. He thought. Or maybe pork. Right?

No, he was too focused on Tania, and the fact that she was sitting three feet away from him. Too focused on the fact that his cock was throbbing like a bad tooth and had been ever since she'd let him into her apartment an hour earlier.

Her words rang in his mind. She needed help—finally, though, something real, something physical he could focus on. That would really help. Maybe her car needed a tune-up, that was easy, although why she'd felt the need to cook for him just to ask for that, he didn't know.

"Anything." He tipped his beer bottle back, wetting his throat. Fuck it, she looked so beautiful. She was sitting so close, he could smell the scent of the lotion she'd slicked all over her skin. Good enough to eat, and that's just what he wanted to do, too.

She grimaced and said, "Maybe you should put the beer down. Stop drinking for a minute because I don't want you to choke when I ask."

"Okay." He smirked a little and leaned forward, setting the bottle on the table. "Although I don't know what you could ask that would surprise me that much, Tania."

"Five years ago."

Okay—maybe I was wrong. She can surprise me.

UTA… Yes. I would like your votes.

The Friday 56… a #Fridayreads giveaway

Okay, so I can't give away today's Friday read.  Because…um, it's not out yet.  *G*

My lines…

"No known family."

Dmitri wasn't surprised at Jason's knowledge–there was a reason the angel was called the best spymaster in the Cadre.

It was so, so good.  Y'all can read it in September.

Yes.  I must rub it in.

Haven't read the series yet?

Here's your chance to get started.

I have a signed copy of Angel's Blood for this giveaway…I picked it up in June at the Lori Foster giveaway when I saw Nalini.

USA Today bestselling author Nalini Singh introduces a world of beauty and bloodlust, where angels hold sway over vampires…

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux knows she's the best—but she doesn't know if she's good enough for this job. Hired by the dangerously beautiful Archangel Raphael, a being so lethal that no mortal wants his attention, only one thing is clear—failure is not an option…even if the task is impossible.

Because this time, it's not a wayward vamp she has to track. It's an archangel gone bad.

The job will put Elena in the midst of a killing spree like no other…and pull her to the razor's edge of passion. Even if the hunt doesn't destroy her, succumbing to Raphael's seductive touch just may. For when archangels play, mortals break…

I got my pics…don't ask how many.  I haven't counted.  But there are many.  Many, many.

Got some great pics of the canyon, too, but the sunset pics in the desert were something I always wanted. (Most of the desert pics were taken around Phoenix.)
