Inspiration for Heroes

This morning I’m sharing with you a little of the inspiration for the hero in THE CLAIMED, although I won’t spill his name because I don’t want to spoil things for those of you who have not read THE LOST.

When I think of heroes, especially in a series, I try to mix up what they look like so that you guys won’t get bored of the same old same old. Adam was all light and the hero in THE CLAIMED is all darkness. I will tease you a little and just drop a hint that the hero in the third book, tentatively titled THE SHATTERED, is going to be what the British call “a ginger.” LOL!

Translation: red-haired. Strawberry-blondish to be more precise.

Which brings me to a question for you today: What do you like seeing in a hero? Do you like them blond or dark? Tattoos or clean? Lean or big?

Also have some other news today. I am doing a guest blog for my buddy Cynthia Eden who has a new release out titled BOUND IN DARKNESS. Visit at 1 pm Central Standard time and leave a comment for a chance to win a giveaway and to help raise money for a breast cancer charity. For the first 50 comments, I will donate $1 per comment to the charity.

Fun Friday – Double Fun Today!

I want to thank Rebecca Sinclair for sharing this fun photo for today which begs the question, “Is there such a thing as a simple cat?” I’ve had a few cats in my life and the last way I’d describe them is “simple.”

Our second Fun Friday treat comes from the wonderful editors at Forever Romance. If you haven’t liked them yet on Facebook, please do so! They are always sharing lots of interesting things and holding giveaways.

Thanks to Selina and Laura who found this fun “What Color is your Aura?” quiz, especially since auras are so prevalent in THE LOST. I took the quiz and had a blue aura (Yeah, like Adam!). What’s the color of your aura?

Share your aura color or cat stories today in the comments! I hope you all have a great Labor Day weekend. Stay safe!

Thursday Thirteen – Last days of summer & giveaways

It’s hard to believe that Labor Day is this weekend, marking the unofficial end of summer.

I LIVE for the summer. It’s my favorite time of year for lots of reasons. I love to be outdoors so I can walk on the boardwalk, garden, dip my toes in the ocean and hang out on the beach beneath the umbrella, catching up on my To-Be-Read pile.

I also love summer because of the different foods that are available and that I prepare for the hotter days!

Weekend Weather Coming!

Best Tweet about what’s been happening:

“@EamonDolan Once again, this weekend’s weather forecast is brought to you by the Book of Revelations.”

I don’t know about you, but we are hunkering down for weekend storms. I hope those of you already feeling the bite of Hurricane Irene are safe and sound. Please don’t take any chances out there.

We’ve got some fun new things happening in the review community – Dual Reviewers dishing about books. So today I’m sharing with you two of those fun couples:

Morgan and Whitney Dish

Check out Morgan and Whitney dishing about THE FIFTH KINGDOM!

Also any thanks to RT Book Reviews for giving THE FIFTH KINGDOM 4.5 Stars! You rock!

Here is just a little snippet of what they had to say:

This story is an Indiana Jones-style thrill ride infused with just the right amount of romance and sexual tension. . .The mystery, the family dynamic and the love story all blend together perfectly in this delightful adventure. Who needs Harrison Ford when you’ve got a tale like this?

She Said, She Said at Paranormal Romance Guild

For you paranormal writers and readers, you have got to check out the Paranormal Romance Guild! They have got a whole host of things for you to check out.

Their reviewers, Gloria and Penelope, were nice enough to do a She Said, She Said review of THE LOST.

Thank you for your 4.5 and 4 stars for THE LOST! To read what Gloria and Penelope have to say, you can click here.

OBSESSED/LOST Launch Party at Fontana’s

I got to see Morgan last night at the absolutely wonderful launch party for OBSESSED and THE LOST. Hope to have pictures for you soon from that event and thanks to all who came by and also, mega thanks to Rachel Kramer Bussel, The Pleasure Chest and Tied Up Events for hosting this fabulous party!

Also many thanks to Maria, Kim, Denise, Diane and Nisha for coming with to the party.

Guilty Pleasure Monday Conan the Barbarian

Okay, so I love movies with sexy guys and swords. Who doesn’t? So with August 19 just days away, what better Guilty Pleasure Monday than Jason Momoa who is playing Conan in the new version of the tale. Jason has also appeared in GAME OF THRONES and STARGATE: ATLANTIS.

You can watch a trailer for the new CONAN movie by clicking here!
