It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday!  For today's selection, I've chosen a narrative quote from my recent release Shadows Strike.  For those who aren't familiar with it, Heather is the mortal heroine and Ethan is the immortal hero.

Heather felt honored to sit at a table with such powerful immortal warriors.  It seemed so surreal, like sitting down to chat with a bunch of superheroes, only these guys—and gals—didn't wear colorful tights.  They wore black to conceal the blood they would spill later in the night when they hunted. 

A sobering thought.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Favorite Quote Friday

Happy Friday!  How was your week?  We've been having fun over on Facebook, imagining my Immortal Guardians dressed up in Halloween costumes.  :-)

And, speaking of Halloween . . . Are you looking for some good books to put you in the Halloween spirit? Well, Barnes and Noble is running a cool Halloween promotion, recommending horror, sci-fi/fantasy, and kids and teens books, some of which are discounted up to 70%.  I was thrilled to see that they've included one of my latest releases, A Sorceress of His Own.  :-)

Feared and reviled as a sorceress, Alyssa must conceal her youth and the love she harbors for the fierce Earl of Westcott beneath umbral robes.  All is revealed, however, and passion soon flares when an enemy threatens Dillon's life and Alyssa sacrifices everything to save him.

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday!  Étienne and Krysta have been on my mind a lot this week.  :-)  Instead of contemplating my Immortal Guardians dream cast, I found myself thinking how much I would love for Michael Bay to produce and direct if my Immortal Guardians books were made into movies or a TV series.  And the first scene that came to mind as I imagined it was the big climactic battle scene in Darkness Rises.  So, for today's selection, I thought I would share a brief snippet of it:

The helicopter began to move away, strafing the yard with machine gun fire. 

Krysta veered toward a Humvee, jumped onto the hood and, without slowing, leaped into the air. 

Étienne nearly dropped dead of a f***ing heart attack as he watched her fly through the air and dive through a side door, tackling one of the door gunners.

I love that scene.  :-)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Favorite Quote Friday & a Halloween Giveaway

Happy Friday!  I think (and hope rather desperately) that we're actually going to have slightly cooler temperatures this weekend.  Hooray!  Nothing that will make the leaves change color.  But I'll take what I can get and pretend Autumn temps are just around the corner . . . which puts me in a Halloween frame of mind.

Kensington is having a really fun Halloween Giveaway this month.  The paranormal prize pack up for grabs includes:

• Physical copies of Shadows Strike, On the Hunt, and Night's Surrender
• Set of four Halloween themed ceramic plates
• One Halloween scented candle (with bat wing decoration)
• One Black Cat stuffed toy
• Assorted Halloween candies including: Sugar gel blood packs, dismembered sucker fingers, gummy fingers, eyeball gumballs
• Pack of skeleton blood bubbles

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday!  I want to thank you again, everyone who has rated or reviewed Shadows Strike.  I'm so glad you're enjoying Ethan and Heather's story.  And I love, too, that so many of you are rooting for Cliff.  :-)  For today's selection, I thought I would give you another glimpse of Ethan and Heather together:

She eyed the small duffle bag he carried.  "That had better not contain duct tape, rope, and a scalpel." 

He grinned.  "I'm not a serial killer, Heather.  This is just my first aid kit."

Have a wonderful weekend!

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday!  For today's selection, I chose a quote from Night Unbound that features Zach (the hero) and Lisette (heroine):

She brushed his hair out of his eyes.  “You’ve been pulling me into your dreams, haven’t you?  Intentionally?” 

He nodded.  “I knew you missed the sun and wanted to share it with you.” 

Her eyes burned as tears rose.  “Thank you,” she whispered.

Have a safe Halloween and a wonderful weekend!  And good luck in all the contests!

Halloween Giveaways and Favorite Quote Friday #149

Happy Friday!  I missed posting last week.  A family emergency arose, so I had to drop offline for a bit and am just getting back into the swing of things.  Fantastic reviews continue to roll in for Night Unbound, Immortal Guardians Book 5.  Again thank you, everyone who has reviewed or rated it.  I appreciate it so much!  I'll see if I can't share some more snippets with you next week.

This week, inspired by the cooler temperatures ushered in by a cold front (Yay!), I thought I would focus on some Halloween Giveaways.  :-)

Kensington is giving away a Haunted House full of awesome treats plus 4 books:

Night Unbound, my latest release.  :-)

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday!  For today's selection, I've chosen a snippet from Night Unbound that features Zach and Lisette, the hero and heroine:

She met his golden gaze, saw the fierce emotion that lit his eyes, and . . . everything changed.  Everything.  

Framing his stubbled jaw in both hands, Lisette couldn’t find the words to express what she felt for him in that moment.  

He dipped his head.  Their lips touched.

Have a wonderful weekend!
