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

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

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

    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)

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

    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?

    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! :)

    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?

    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. :)

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

First Fight/First Kiss Blogfest

Yay, it's blogfest time! Many thanks to Danielle and Jackie for hosting! Here are the details: Share your 1 st FIGHT and 1 st KISS scenes in your MS’s or WIP’s. Crack open your current project or dive back into an old one. We want to feel what your characters feel. From the sting of their first fist-to-the-face to the tingling taste of their first kiss. Today is First Fight day, and I wanted to bring you a small excerpt from my NaNo novel which centres around Jesse Shaw, one of the characters from Game On. It's a bit rough, and a bit vague - mainly because I wrote it quickly, Jesse's voice still needs work, and this fight in full would be packed with spoilers, but hopefully it gives enough info to make sense!   Just to clear up a small thing - Georgia is Isabelle's twin sister. :)   ** “Izzy,” I said. “You know the right thing to do.” Isabelle looked down at me with those big brown eyes, and my insides twisted with guilt. Right away, I realised

IWSG: Am I doing it right? And does anyone care?

Happy IWSG Day! This genius idea created by Alex J. Cavanaugh is a place for all of us insecure writers to gather together to talk about our worries, and cheer each other on. Check out the full list of participants here ! Think right now about your favourite writers. How do you feel when you know they have a new book being released? It's usually something like, "HURRY UP, I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE!" right? And also, think about when one of your super talented blog buddies announces they've got a book coming out soon. That is even more exciting because it's someone you know, someone you may have seen struggling to reach their goal of publication. Someone you've seen go through the rough times, and have finally made it to where they want to be. I can tell you that when Jolene Perry, or Nyrae Dawn announce a book release - I bounce up and down like a crazy person! These two awesome ladies are writers I absolutely adore for their ability to write so natural
