Moonless Blog Hop!





In the English society of 1768 where women are bred to marry, unattractive Alexia, just sixteen, believes she will end up alone. But on the county doorstep of a neighbor’s estate, she meets a man straight out of her nightmares, one whose blue eyes threaten to consume her whole world—especially later when she discovers him standing over her murdered host in the middle of the night.



Her nightmares become reality: a dead baron, red-eyed wraiths, and forbidden love with a man hunted by these creatures. After an attack close to home, Alexia realizes she cannot keep one foot in her old life and one in this new world. To protect her family she must either be sold into a loveless marriage, or escape with her beloved and risk becoming one of the Soulless.
 
This is the blurb for Crystal Collier's Moonless - doesn't it sound amazing?! 
 
Today, to celebrate the paperback release of Moonless, Crystal is hosting a bloghop! Here are the deets:
 
If you lived in a society where arranged marriages were a la mode, who would you beg your parents to set you up with? (Literary characters and celebrities welcomed.) Who and why?  
 

 


Yup. Randy Orton. I have been a little bit in love with him for something like eight or nine years, and I'm not ashamed to admit, it's totally for shallow reasons. He is freaking beautiful. His lips... oh, don't get me started. If there was an option to marry him, I would seriously beg to be set up with him! I could very easily spend the rest of my life wrapped up in his tattooed arms! :p

  1. The first thing I noticed about this picture was the arms too - is there room for both of us? :-)

  2. Those arms are amazing, good choice. Excuse me while I go and find some more pictures ...

  3. At least this would be a man I wouldn't fight for... although, who knows what he's like if I started talking to him. Do you know if he's got a brain too? (of course I'm only joking. He's quite good looking just not the kind I'm usually attracted to)

  4. Arms used to really excite me, but now I've found that there are other things, too!
    Good luck to Crystal and 'Moonless'.

  5. LOL! My husband looked just like that when we got married, minus the tatoos, and with some hair. Kidding, kidding, but he did have the arms. Guess working outdoors can do that to a guy, eh?

    ReplyDelete
  6. I have a little thing for tattoos too. And hey, who knows, maybe after several hot nights in bed, you'll discover he's a great conversationalist too! :)

  7. No one would mess with you, that's for sure.

  8. Oh, he's yummy! Best of luck with the book--it sounds great. :)

  11. I've never heard of him, though I agree he does have nice arms.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Don't know him either but he looks good. Thanks for being the first comment on my post.

  13. I don't know him, either! Looks as though those strong arms would be a good place to be, though! And, yeah, the lips are ok ;-) I'm into Jude Law's legs, myself. The hair's gone a bit peculiar, but the legs... mmm. Went to see him in Henry V in the West End on Saturday. Ooh, the legs. Did I already mention them?

  14. I'm not familiar with him, but he is nice to look at!! I do love the muscled arms!!

  16. So you went for the bodaciously brawn. *wink* I hear ya, I hear ya! :-) I think you've made an excellent choice. I'm married so I just picked a writer. Ha.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I could totally understand enjoying that body :) Hmm, I'll bet he's even better without a shirt? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  18. I don't know who this guy is, but he sure is easy on the eyes :-)

    ReplyDelete
  19. HI, Kyra,

  20. I don't know who this guy is, but grrrrrr.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Nice choice. I'm more of a John Cena fan, but he does have nice lips. ;)
    Dropping by for the Moonless Blogfest. New follower!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh...my...goodness... I totally agree with you in every way after seeing a picture. :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. He does have nice lips! And he can't go wrong with those tattooed arms. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  25. YES! YES! YES! hehehehe... that was my WWE reference. I watch too, and have always liked him even before all the tattoos!

    ReplyDelete
  26. He's quite a hunk. Kissable lips is a plus.

  29. lol That was an unexpected answer. And I love it! It's nice to meet another wrestling fan, although my favorite is Jeff Hardy. But Randy certainly has a GREAT body! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  30. I am totally enjoying finding out what we various women like in a man. Very interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Eep. I don't even know who he is, but he is quite the eye-candy.

    ReplyDelete
  32. He sure does look strong. An added bonus, for sure. Why haven't I heard of him before? Maybe cuz I live in my writing cave and have no idea what goes on in the real world. :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. I don't know who he is, but he looks damn fine! Noice choice :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hah! I KNEW yours was going to be Randy. :D

    ReplyDelete
  35. I have been loving hearing everyone's answers to this question! So varied and different. Thanks for sharing and best of luck to Crystal!

IWSG: Performance anxiety

Welcome to the August edition of IWSG, hosted by the amazing Alex J.Cavanaugh ! So, as most of you know by now - because I haven't shut up about it LOL - my first novel, Game On, has been released. The blog tour officially starts next week (YAY!) but I find myself becoming increasingly nervous. A blog tour not only highlights my book, but me. What if people don't like me? What if my guest posts suck, and everyone thinks I'm boring? If I can't engage people in 300 words on a blog, they probably aren't going to pick up my book. And then there's the "what happens next" question. I plan to make Game On into a series, which feels a bit arrogant of me. I don't know how many people are going to like the first book, should I really be planning to keep the series going? So far, Game On has actually been incredibly well received. I've had great reviews, so maybe I shouldn't worry about people not liking it, but what if Book Two isn't as goo

Dust It Off Bloghop!

Welcome to day one of the Dust It Off Bloghop, hosted by Theresa Paolo and Cortney Pearson ! This hop is all about the WIPs you wrote, and then shelved! Okay, so I am teaming up with Clare Dugmore for this one, because back in 2006 - yup, we've known each other THAT long lol! - we started to write a book together. Unfortunately, other commitments got in the way and we never finished it - but even so many years on - it's still something we remember fondly, so we're going to dust it off for you! The first day, May 3rd: We want you to post a 1-2 sentence pitch (Great way to practice pitches) about the shelved WIP. Here is the pitch Clare and I came up with: For best friends Caitlin and Tori, their first acting job out of Uni opens up a whole new world for them – unfortunately, it wasn’t the world they were expecting. When the strains of adult life and tangled relationships threaten to ruin their friendship, they are forced to take a look at what’s really importan
