Creature Feature and Free ARC! Back to Blog

(Note: I’m keeping this post at the top of my blog until my contest is over. If you’d like to read new posts, just scroll down a bit. Thanks!)

Question One: Am I the only one who has always wondered…If I were a paranormal character, just which character would I be? (Seriously, the question has kept me awake at night.) Well, if you’ve been curious, wonder no more! Just mosey over and take my Creature Feature Quiz. Go ahead, release your inner demon(s).

Question Two: Would you like to win an autographed Advanced Reader’s Copy of WHEN HE WAS BAD? (WHEN HE WAS BAD is the June 08 Kensington Brava anthology that includes my story, Wicked Ways, and the great Shelly Laurenston’s tale, Miss Congeniality.)

If you’d like to win an ARC, this is what you need to do:

1. Take my Creature Feature Quiz.

2. Post your results in the comments area of this post.

3. Um, that’s it! Comments just need to be posted between February 14th and February 20th. On February 21st, I’ll be back to select one winner.

Easy, huh?

    Yey!
    I am a Shifter, how cool is that?!

    Shifter
    Wild. Sexual. Powerful. Yep, that’s you. Ever feel like you’ve got a bit of the animal inside? A creature that is just dying to get out? Well, you do. You’re the perfect predator. Human and beast. The best–and sometimes the worst–of both worlds. Your senses are sharp. Your instincts are killer, and, well, sometimes…so are you.

    Demon
    You like to dance on the dark side. You know there’s a difference between good and evil–you just don’t always care. You’re incredibly powerful and enjoy starting fires with your mind, controlling others, and generally stirring up trouble. Not the minion of the Devil…you answer to no one. Dominant. Strong. Oh, yeah, that’s you–of course, you’re also dangerous as hell and most likely to go power crazy.
    Ohhhh, neat!!!!!

    Have a wonderful and very happy Valentine’s Day! I definitely intend to.

    Vampire
    In the mood for a bite? You’re a true night person–forget those early mornings! Mentally and physically, you’re strong as all hell. Your teeth may be a bit too sharp, you might have a liquid diet, but, hey, no one is perfect, Besides, you’re sexy, seductive, and not many humans can resist when they look deep into your eyes…

    PERFECT! I’d absolutely LOVE to win the ARC. I’ll bite someone if I’m not chosen. *g*

    Charmer
    You’re more comfortable with your animal friends than you are with humans. Ever feel like your dog really understands you when you talk? Well, for YOU, he probably does. You’ve got a way with the wild beasts–a special touch. Man’s best friend has a WHOLE new meaning for you. Sure, physically, you might not be the strongest of the paranormals, but mentally, you’re on a whole different level.
