Favorite Quote Friday #27

It's Friday again!  Woohoo!  What a busy week!  I'll be mailing signed books and Immortal Guardians swag to more contest winners this afternoon, as well as a prize for a future contest on another blog.  Yay!  I love giveaways!

I guest posted at Melissa's Eclectic Bookshelf on Tuesday, and there's still time to enter my contest.  Drop by and get to know some great vampires and their human assistants from the past century, then enter to win a signed copy of Night Reigns + Immortal Guardians swag.  :-)

I received some fabulous news from The Romance Reviews.  

Darkness Dawns has been nominated for Best Book of 2011 - Debut Book (Romance).

Night Reigns has been nominated for Best Book of 2011 - Paranormal Romance.  If you want to check out the other nominees and cast your vote, you can do so HERE from March 16th through March 31st.

I'm also participating in the 18 and Over Book Blogger Giveaway Hop (see my last post).  Lots of prizes are up for grabs on the hop, so feel free to join the fun!  And thank you, those of you who already have!  :-)

And now for Favorite Quote Friday.  Today's selection is taken from Darkness Dawns.  It's a snippet taken from a conversation between Sarah, the heroine, and Roland, the hero.  Sarah speaks first:

“I’m not really understanding how you differ from the 

vampires other than that they’re assholes and you’re not.”

He laughed.  “Some of my colleagues might disagree

with you on that one.”

 
Have a fantastic weekend!  :-)

Favorite Quote Friday #20

Happy Friday!  This has been such a fun week!  I've been participating in the My Book Boyfriend Giveaway Hop and it has pretty much obliterated my determination not to add any more books to my TBR pile.  :-)  I'm giving away the winner's choice of either a signed copy of Darkness Dawns or a signed copy of Night Reigns + Immortal Guardians swag for it.  And there are many other prizes up for grabs at the other Giveaway Hop stops, so – if you join the fun – I hope you'll win lots of goodies!

There is also still time to enter my contests at EBookObsessed and Vampire Book Club.  The first is open through today.  The second is open through the 6th.  I'm giving away a singed book and swag at each.

I received some fabulous news this week.  Night Reigns, the second book in my Immortal Guardians series, has been nominated for Book of the Month by Long and Short Reviews.  The poll goes live at Midnight on Saturday, February 4th and ends at Midnight on Sunday, February 5th.  You can cast your vote here.

The good news didn't stop there.  :-)  Darkness Dawns, the first book in my Immortal Guardians series, has been nominated for Best Book of 2011 or Book of the Year by Long and Short Reviews.  It received a Best Book review just before its release in February 2011: 

"Action-packed world building and a hero daring all for 

love makes Darkness Dawns one of the most fascinating 

romances I’ve read this year.  I am so enthusiastic about 

this story because of its humor, passion and an 

interesting take on the vampire myth."

What an honor!  Voting begins on February 16th and will continue through February 29th.

Now on to Favorite Quote Friday.  Today's selection is taken from Darkness Dawns.  It is a narrative quote plucked from the thoughts of Roland, the hero:

She wouldn’t let him?  She, a five-foot-one inch, ninety-five

pound mortal female, wouldn’t let him, a six-foot-two inch 

immortal sporting two hundred pounds of muscle--

Ah, screw it.

~ Roland ~

For a supposedly surly, antisocial immortal, Roland sure has made me smile a lot while writing and editing the series.  :-)

Have a wonderful weekend!
