About Catch Me When I Fall:
Recruited at his death to be a Protector of the Night, seventeen-year-old Daniel Graham has spent two-hundred years fighting Nightmares and guarding humans from the clawed, red-eyed creatures that feed off people’s fears. Each night, he risks his eternal life, having given up his chance at an afterlife when he chose to become a Protector. That doesn’t stop a burnt-out Daniel from risking daring maneuvers during each battle. He’s become one of the best, but he wants nothing more than to stop.
Then he’s given an assignment to watch over sixteen-year-old Kayla Bartlett, a clinically depressed patient in a psychiatric ward. Nightmares love a human with a tortured past. Yet, when they take a deep interest in her, appearing in unprecedented numbers, the job becomes more dangerous than any Daniel’s ever experienced. He fights ruthlessly to keep the Nightmares from overwhelming his team and Kayla. Soon, Daniel finds himself watching over Kayla during the day, drawn to why she’s different, and what it is about her that attracts the Nightmares. And him.
A vicious attack on Kayla forces Daniel to break the first Law and reveal his identity. Driven by his growing feelings for her, he whisks her away to Rome where others like him can keep her safe. Under their roof, the Protectors discover what Kayla is and why someone who can manipulate Nightmares has her in his sights. But before they can make a move, the Protectors are betrayed and Kayla is kidnapped. Daniel will stop at nothing to save her. Even if it means giving up his immortality.

Today, I’m taking part in Vicki Leigh’s “My Worst Nightmare” blog hop, to celebrate the recent release of her young-adult, paranormal-romance/ urban-fantasy, CATCH ME WHEN I FALL, which centres around seventeen-year-old Daniel Graham, a Protector of the Night, who has spent two-hundred years fighting Nightmares and guarding humans from the clawed, red-eyed creatures that feed off people’s fears.
Rules:· On 11.03.14 post about your worst nightmare, and what form the clawed, red-eyed creatures would take if they fed off your fears.· Visit the other participants of the blog hop, and comment on their worst nightmares
At the end of the blog tour, on 11.14.14, Vicki Leigh will pick one of the participants at random and award them with [prize].
My worst nightmare? It's simple: Someone kidnapping and hurting my kid. I'd kill if someone did that, no joke. That's the only thing I'd ever hurt anyone over, protecting my child.
The form it would take? It's probably best I don't disclose that because it might offend someone, since it's a real person that I don't trust.

Vicki Leigh's CATCH ME WHEN I FALL Book Playlist
It’s no secret that I prefer to write in silence. Writing, to me, is often like acting, and I can’t get in the heads of my main characters when there’s music in the background. I need to be able to visualize each scene, hear the dialogue between my characters, and stay in the voice of my character.
But there is something to be said for music and emotion. The right song can transport me to a “place of serenity”—like Daniel says about Kayla’s talent with the violin—bring tears to my eyes, fill me with energy, or even make me smile. So, as a person who’s played music since I was six-years-old, part of my revision is always creating a book playlist. That way, knowing my story, I can listen to a particular song before editing a scene and ensuring the right emotions fill the page.
Today, I’d like to share with you my book playlist for CATCH ME WHEN I FALL. For the sake of avoiding spoilers, I’m only going to share details about a few songs, as to not give anything away. But I’m positive that once you read the book, you’ll be able to figure out where each song goes. J
So, without further ado, here’s the Book Playlist for CATCH ME WHEN I FALL:
Theme Song: "Saved" - The Spill Canvas
Daniel's Theme: "Follow Me" - Muse
Kayla's Theme: "Storm" - Lifehouse
"I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" - Aerosmith
"I Will Not Bow" - Breaking Benjamin
"1, 2, 3, 4" - Plain White T's
"Fallin' For You" - Colbie Caillat
"Shatter Me" - Lindsey Stirling ft. Lzzy Hale
"Distant Lives" (From Becoming Jane) - Adrian Johnston
Adopted at three-days-old by a construction worker and a stay-at-home mom, Vicki Leigh grew up in a small suburb of Akron, Ohio where she learned to read by the age of four and considered being sent to her room for punishment as an opportunity to dive into another book. By the sixth grade, Vicki penned her first, full-length screenplay. If she couldn’t be a writer, Vicki would be a Hunter (think Dean and Sam Winchester) or a Jedi. Her favorite place on earth is Hogwarts (she refuses to believe it doesn’t exist), and her favorite dreams include solving cases alongside Sherlock Holmes.Vicki is an editor for Curiosity Quills Press and is represented by Sarah Negovetich of Corvisiero Literary Agency.
