Favorite Quote Friday #28

Happy Friday!  I hope you had a good week!  Mine was another busy one.  I've been working on Phantom Shadows copyedits and have a tight deadline.  I really like Bastien's story and hope you will, too.  I've been jotting down quotes for Favorite Quote Friday as I go and look forward to posting those a little closer to the release date.  :-)

Anyone happen to be at the RT Convention?  If so, I hope you're having a lot of fun!  :-)  I really wanted to go this year because Darkness Dawns has been nominated for the RT Reviewers' Choice Award for Best Vampire Romance, but couldn't.  It's so exciting to have been nominated alongside some of my favorite authors.  I wish I were there.  Plus, I'd love to meet my online friends in person. ;-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm going to participate in the Hunky Hero Giveaway Hop next week.  It begins on Monday and will continue through April 22nd.  I'll be giving away a signed copy of Night Reigns + swag, which will include a Phantom Shadows cover flat!  Woohoo!  The winner will be one of the first to receive one.  :-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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:

“Um, hi?”

“Why aren't you screaming?”

:-)  Have a fantastic weekend!

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 #12

It's Friday again!  Wow!  This week really flew past!  I hope yours was a good one!  I received some fantastic Immortal Guardians news. 

Darkness Dawns was nominated by RT Book Reviews for the Reviewers' Choice Award for Best Vampire Romance.

 

Darkness Dawns was also nominated by The Romance Reviews for Best PNR of 2011 - Vampire.  Voting for this one continues throughout the month of November, so I hope you'll drop by, check out the nominees, and cast your vote!

I also had the fun task of choosing the winners of TWO contests this week.  Actually, Random.org chose the winners for me, because I wanted everyone who entered to win.  :-)  Proserpine won the Immortal Guardians swag pack I gave away to celebrate my first Immortal Realm guest - Author JoAnne Kenrick.  And in my Get to Know the Immortal Guardians contest, Na won a signed ARC of Night Reigns, while Sherrie and Alainala each won an Immortal Guardians swag pack.

I've joined the fun over at The Romance Reviews for their Year End Splash (Yes!) Party and one of my Q&As  was posted this week.  The next and last one will be posted on November 27th, so I hope you'll drop by.  I'm giving away TWO signed copies of Night Reigns.  :-)

So, now that I've shared some news, it's time for today's edition of Favorite Quote Friday.  Today's quote is once more taken from Night Reigns: 

"I have lived for eight centuries, Ami.  It would be far too humiliating to finally meet my demise in what would undoubtedly become known as the greatest skating catastrophe of the twenty-first century."

~ Marcus ~ 

 

I can't believe Night Reigns will be released in just over 17 days! 

Have a wonderful weekend!
