Blindsided Blog Tour - A Look at Future Books in the Game On Series, and an Excerpt from Cherie Reich!
How is the Blindsided Blog Tour over already? I am sure it only just started yesterday or something! Now is the time for me to extend a gigantic thank you to everyone who participated, commented, followed my blog, bought the book or added it to their TBR pile. Bloggers are amazing, and I truly appreciate your support!
I've saved a rather special post for the last day. My partner in crime, Annalisa Crawford, is sharing a guest post from me all about the next book in the Game On series!
Today begins the first day of my Game On Christmas posts. Although, those of you with a keen eye may have seen it yesterday! My intention was to round off the insane year the characters have had by celebrating Bree Collinson's 21st birthday party. The posts will read much like the A-Z Challenge posts I did in April, with each scene coming from a different POV. I will be posting them on a separate page on the blog because it is loaded with spoilers. If you haven't read Blindsided yet, that;s okay. But if you haven't read Game On and you don't want to know what happens, it's best not to even look! I wanted to do this as a thank you to all of you who have supported me - to let you know just how much I love you all for sticking by me, picking me up when I'm down and making me laugh out loud with your comments and posts. I hope I can manage to do the same for all of you in the future!
Finally, today I am helping the wonderful Cherie Reich with her blog tour!
Here I have a fabulous excerpt from The Nightmare Collection - and if you have never read anything by Cherie yet, you really need to! She's amazing!
He came around the desk and placed his phone before her. His hovering body heat warmed her back, and her cheeks burned. She should’ve shifted away, but she needed the flash of warmth to prepare her for what was in front of her. What she saw chilled her to the bone.
A mutilated corpse rested on a bed of dead leaves. A couple bright white flowers bloomed beside it. She leaned closer and enlarged the picture until she could see the person’s throat. Her hair shifted in front of her eyes, and she tucked it behind her ears. The jagged marks told her more than enough. She bolted from the chair, slamming right into him. He let out a soft “oomph” and grasped her arm before she could flee.
“Why are you showing me this?” She jerked away and back up until she bumped into the whiteboard. He stepped toward her and placed his arm against the board to block her escape. “What do you want from me?”
“I want your help.”
His jaw clenched, the muscles bunching before he relaxed. His thumb shifted and brushed against her arm. It tickled a bit and yet reassured her.
“My help?”
“Yes.” Tim scooped up the phone and motioned to the picture. “Did the man who killed your friends do this?”
“It wasn’t a man, but a monster.”
Excellent, yes? If you want to check out this amazing collection of stories, here's all the details you need!
