Look what I received! Woohoo! Darkness Rises ARCs! And I've already begun sending them out to reviewers. If you would like one yourself, I'll be giving some away in contests on Facebook, Goodreads, and in my Street Team between now and its release on October 1st, so keep an eye out for them. The Goodreads contests I'll announce here on my blog. But my Facebook contests tend to be spontaneous and only last for a day or two, so I may not have a chance to announce those here.
I also received my author copies of Dunkler Zorn, the German translation of Night Reigns, Immortal Guardians Book 2.
The German books are like a cool paperback/hardback combination. They're paperback, but they're larger than the paperbacks here in the U.S. and the front and back covers both open out to show an expanded front cover image.
The German books are also the first books to include my picture inside the back cover. :-)
It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday! To celebrate the goodies that came in the mail, I thought I would give you another quote from Darkness Rises. Today's selection is a narrative quote that reveals Krysta's (the heroine's) first impression of Roland (the hero of Darkness Dawns, Book 1):
He just seemed menacing. Like he could slit your throat, then sit down, prop his feet on your corpse, and eat a sandwich.
Poor Roland. :-) Sometimes I think he's as misunderstood as Bastien.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Aren't all men misunderstood???
ReplyDeleteCongrats on receiving your ARCs!!!
LOL! You called it. :-)
DeleteThanks, Diane!
Yay ARCs!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think he's even more misunderstood. After all, he's always been on the good guys' team and he's so bristly and has such a rep... :P
That's true. Roland's always been a good guy. He's just not what Lisette would call a people person. :-) Reminds me of a certain other character who will be playing amore prominent role in Darkness Rises and Book 5. ;-)
DeleteRoland's attitude and how he's only sweet on Sarah is part of what makes him so hot ^_-
ReplyDeleteI totally agree
DeleteSo glad you think so! Ever since I started the series, I've liked how Sarah alone seems able to overcome Roland's barriers and bring out his warm and fuzzy side. Those two have some interesting scenes in Darkness Rises and Book 5. :-)
DeleteI just want to squeal, I can't wait until October!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Raven! I hope you'll like Étienne and Krysta's story! I sure had fun writing it!
