#DABWAHA!!! You all did it! Thank you! Let’s do it again! Bribe!
So, I promised a bribe for getting me into the tournament.
Which is…I’ll post that in a minute.
Here’s the deal. If you help me advance, I’ll continue to write more on the POV. And if I might even post some of BROKEN BLADE.
If you help me get to at least the next bracket of the DABWAHA (voting opens in a few days, right now you make your choices), I’ll do at least one of the above, maybe both…and if you’re so inclined and if you help me advance, I might even write a hot and dirty Kit & Damon scene (maybe an in-between books 1 & 2 type of story.
So… you all going to help me out? I hope so because I have tough competition. It’s Meljean Brook. But… nah, you all don’t need to vote for her! VOTE FOR ME! VOTE FOR BLADE SONG! VOTE FOR KIT! SHE NEEDS IT!
Damon POV…as promised…
And… if you haven’t read BLADE SONG… I marked the price down at Smashwords & ARe to $2.00. I can’t do an auto markdown on the other platforms because I don’t handle the distribution and those pricing changes take longer when you use a distributor, but it’s only $2.99 at BN, Amazon, etc.
For Smashwords, you need a coupon. It’s AV76L.
The book is DRM free with no territory restrictions.

Oh, she needs him, all right…
Saturday Snippets! I Need A Hero!
From WRECKED…
“You burned it good.”
“That’s why I’m putting it under cold water,” he said, his voice grouchy.
She shot a glance up at him, smiling a little. “Cranky.”
“It hurts,” he snapped.
“Yeah, I bet it does.” She put the stopper in the sink and filled it up, getting the water as cold as it would go.
“I was going to ice it—”
“No. Ice is bad for burns. Can affect circulation.” She guided his hand back into the water and held it there as the water started to fill up, slowly rising over his wrist and forearm. Once it was up a few inches over the burned areas, she shut it off. “There. You need to keep it in there for twenty minutes or so. We’ll keep letting the water out as it warms up and adding in more cold.”
“I need to finish the food,” he muttered, staring down into the sink.
She rose onto her toes and kissed his cheek. “I’ll do it. It’s the thought that counts and all.”
“I was supposed to be doing the breakfast for you . . . not having you cook for me. You always cook for me.”
“I don’t mind.” She went to glance at him. Such a mistake. That dream, that torrid, wicked dream continued to dance through her mind and when their gazes locked, the heat in his dark blue eyes was enough to leave her feeling like she had been scalded. Only there was no pain.
Just burning, burning heat.
The breath whooshed down out of her lungs and for a moment, she could picture herself doing exactly what she’d done in that dream. Reaching up, framing his face with her hands, and holding him as she pressed her mouth to his.
Have a torrid affair with a hot guy.
Such a simple thing, it seemed.
And if this was anybody but her best friend . . .
Have you entered the contest?

How to make a writer’s night
So there’s this thing locally…. Ladies Bourbon Club. It’s relatively new, I think last night was just the second.
Bourbon!
It was at Jack’s Lounge. FYI… the Irish Bombe is to die for.
I get there late…I wasn’t the only one. Liz was also late. I think it’s Liz. I know she owns the burger truck…Louisville Grind, and I know one day I will venture out and get a damn burger from there. Anyway, we were late miss the bourbon tasting, but these are awesome people and we got some bourbon anyway. So that’s cool.
When I walked in, there’s a weirdo lady I know from twitter and apparently she is incapable of seeing me without saying…this is the Shiloh Walker. It’s like she puts it in caps and I feel like I’m in a fishtank and I think she does it just to weird me out. And I know one of her friends likes my books, so I had a copy with me to give at the end of the night.
And I went to do just that.
One of the ladies attending saw the book…and she asked me…”Ah, can I ask you something?”
Well, yeah. (People ask me almost anything…I don’t always answer, but hey…)
“Are you really Shiloh Walker or are they teasing you?”
“Ah, no. That’s me.”
And…“You’re kidding me! You have no idea how many of your books I’ve read!”
That is how to totally make a writer’s night.

My bribe… or the first part #dabwaha
If you’ve read NIGHT BLADE already, you can read this now. If you haven’t, read it, then read the bribe. Trust me, you don’t wanna read it unless you’ve read the book cuz you’ll be confused. Maybe mad at me. It makes sense if you’ve read the book.
Really.
So…the bribe…I’ve had the Damon POV for a while, and if I get into the DABWAHA with BLADE SONG, I’ll expand it. If I do well, I might even write more.
Look for the link that reads DAMON.
Go read it. Then… if you want it longer… Vote for BLADE SONG please… it’s here. And you only have a day left. It’s for the PNR/SF category and the ISBN is 9781617507779. The author name is J.C. Daniels pen name. :)

A bribe…for the DABWAHA
Get me into the DABWAHA…
And I’ll give you a Damon POV.
I have a page, which I will share with you all anyway. I owe you from last week. But if you get me into the tournament, I’ll make it longer.
Vote here. And the ISBN number for BLADE SONG is 9781617507779.
It has to be BLADE SONG…books pubbed in 2012.
Bribery is allowed… it just has to be bribery that can be enjoyed by all. And since I’ve already been asked multiple times by multiple people… “I WANNA KNOW WHAT DAMON WAS THINKING…” This seems to be a good bribe.
Yes. I am shameless.
I’m also pitiful. I had a bad week, a bad month and this would make me feel so much better…pretty please?
