Thank you!! (And…psst…I have an Angel of Darkness ARC or 2 to giveaway…) Back to Blog
Update: Thank you for all the wonderful comments! Seems like there sure is a lot to celebrate out there. 🙂 I randomly picked the two winners from all the comments, and those winners are: Patti Silva and Tina W. Congrats, ladies! And if you didn’t win, don’t worry–I’ll have more giveaways soon!
Thank you for coming to my NEVER CRY WOLF release party. I sure appreciate you taking the time out of yoru day to come by for the celebration. Thanks for all the great comments–I had a blast reading through them today. (And thanks to the authors who donated so many books!)
This is the last post for the day. That makes me sad. I had such a good time! But…the party must end (for now, anyway!). As a reminder, all of the contests/giveaways will be open until noon tomorrow. So please read back through the posts and leave comments if you want to win some of the prizes. Tomorrow, I will also go in and randomly pick some commenters to win gift certificates (these prizes weren’t listed–they’re just bonus for commenters). I do enjoy some gift certificate fun.
But, for now…I have one last prize that I’d like to offer tonight. It’s an IOU prize…because, you see, I don’t have this prize yet. I should have it in a few weeks, though. It’s an Advanced Reader’s Copy of my December release, ANGEL OF DARKNESS.
In case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the blurb for ANGEL OF DARKNESS:
As an angel of death, Keenan’s job is to collect the souls on his list. He’s carried out his duty for two thousand years and never faltered once. Until he meets Nicole St. James. When the moment of death comes, Keenan hesitates, and instead of taking Nicole, Keenan touches the vampire who’s attacking her.
Cast out of heaven for disobedience, Keenan plummets to earth. Six months later, he finally manages to track Nicole to a bar in Mexico. He’s stunned to discover that the woman he remembers has undergone a dramatic change—she’s become a vampire. And when
he realizes that she’s the target of all manner of enemies—other vampires, demons, even shifters—he’ll do whatever it takes to protect her, even if all hell breaks loose…
***
Want to win an ARC? I’m going to give 2 away (as IOUs–as soon as I receive the ARCs from my lovely editor, I will ship them right to you. You will read the book months before anyone else does.) To win…just tell me one good thing that’s happening in your life. Today was a day of celebration–so celebrate with me. What is making you happy? All of the wonderful readers in my life are making me happy. 🙂
The contest will run until noon on 6/29/11. (Noon Central Time) Have a great night! And, again, thank you!!

Congratulations on the 3rd baby! An early Christmas present! 🙂
Blessed with a wonderful husband that we just celebrated 12yrs of marriage and two wonderful children 🙂
Thank you Cynthia for giving us the readers an awesome release day party : D
Congratulations on 12 years & those wonderful children!! 🙂 And thank you for helping me to celebrate today.
One good thing that’s happening in my life? We are heading to the beach Thursday……..everyone is healthy at this time, and I’m getting closer to a female cousin who I’ve always admired and loved but now we are being closer friends instead of just cousins and I love that.
Otherwise it’s the great books I’m so blessed to get to read!
Thanks for today even if I didn’t get to take part in alot of it, I am going to read it!!!!
hugs,
WendyK
Beach fun! Definitely a reason to celebrate! And, Wendy, you can still comment to win on all the posts–they will stay open until noon tomorrow and then winners will be selected. So there is plenty of time for you to win. 🙂
Great hubby of 25 yrs two wonderful sons, a great job, and books andscrapbooking. All of these things make me happy.Getting over my cold would make me estatic lol
That’s a lot to be happy about! Though I do hope you get over that cold soon. Summer colds are the worst!
Wow! Angel of Death–a potently provocative subject for a paranormal romance ; )
What is making me most happy right now? My books and my book life (my real life). As the pages turn…so go the days of my life : )
LOL, I love that last line of yours, Virginia. And now you have me wishing I could still watch the Days of Our Lives soap opera!
wow wow wow
ok this is one easy question…what makes me happy…MY FAMILY…i cant say it enough. im blessed and i love them so much. i could be having a shitty day pardon my language but then go to a family gathering and i relax and smile and let everything go.
Shitty days happen. 🙁 It’s awesome when your family can make those days better!
Good thing that happened in my life. Alright I would have to say it was when I won the Kindle 3 from a blog couple months back. I won a kindle2 two years ago from a different site.
Hubby doesn’t understand but I’m gifting my Kindle2 since it still good and works great to a friend. I told her it was birthday, christmas, new years, easter, etc gift all rolled into one.
* rubbing her rock* LOL
LOL, you lucky thing!!! But those wins are sure something to celebrate!
who is the lucky duck getting that Kindle2 missy?! 😉
One great thing happening in my life, we are getting ready to travel to Florida to visit my brother and 85 year old father! Can’t wait!
Oh, how fun!! I hope you have a great trip!
in july I am going to see my daughter. I haven’t seen her in a year…I miss her and can’t wait…so I read alot…empty nest not so much with my books and kindle
I hope you and your daughter have a wonderful reunion!
So excited for this book!
One good thing in my life? Where I have lacked a father my entire life, God doubly blessed me with an incredible mother and we just celebrated her 65th birthday. I am blessed.
Thanks for the giveaway and congrats on your new release!
Happy late birthday to your mother!! Moms can often be wonderful fathers. 🙂 And thank you very much for the congrats.
Hi Cynthia
I just met someone who makes me smile and I like him very much… After a bad relationship I’m very happy 🙂
Daniela.
Awesome news, Daniela! I wish you (and him!) the best!
I heard from my son today. He is in Afghanistan, and as this is his 3rd tour of duty I worry till I hear from eith him or his wife. Who by the way is expecting their 3rd child in sept. Just wanted to say I admire your writing and cannot wait to read New books by you. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS
Patricia, I would be worrying, too! So glad that you heard from him! And congrats on that new baby that is coming into your family! 🙂
Thank you so much!
My brother just graduated high school. I got to see all of my family come to celebrate.

Congrats to your brother! That’s great!
My kids are very healthy and happy. I am very happy and grateful they are. My Great Grandma turns 100 on July 1st so we are all looking forward to long and healthy lives.
Health and happiness mean so much. 🙂 And, wow, 100 years? That’s wonderful! I had my grandmother for 93 years–great years.
I’m on a break from law school slash business school (yes I’m doing both, I have often pondered as to whether or not I am indeed, a masochist as so many have said LOL) so that’s making me very happy XD All I’m doing at the moment is working (in a bookstore! oh yeah) and sleeping in on my days off, such is life.
You are a very busy woman!! You must have a lot of energy and drive–and that’s fantastic.
Hi Cynthia – wonderful friends like YOU are making me happy! Thank you so much for the invitation to share in your Release Day Celebration today. It’s been a blast! (And I didn’t even knock over the punch bowl…)
Dani, you always make me smile! Thanks so much for participating! Hope you have enjoyed a fun release day!
My husband and kids make me happy- there was a time I thought I’d never have a family and now my oldest is going off to college:)
Thank you for sharing so many authors, contests and excerpts. I had a blast!
Brenda, I am so glad to hear you have such a great family. 🙂 And your oldest is already off to college? Tell the other kids to slow down! There’s no need to grow so fast. (That’s what I kept telling my son!)
Can’t wait to read this new series. Love the cover!! One good thing happening in my life: Seeing the world through my two beautiful children’s eyes.
That is, indeed, a wonderful thing! Children have a sweet way of seeing the world.
And I’m glad you’re looking forward to this series! Thank you!
Cynthia- What a great idea for a book release :O) It’s been a nice distraction while I’m missing RWA.
What’s making me happy? I just got an agent!
Congrats on the new release :O)
Congrats, Lisa!!! Getting an agent is definitely cause for celebration!! Yay!!! (And thank you for the new release congrats.)
Our 10th wedding anniversary is coming up in 2 months. We got married in Hawaii and we just decided to go back there to celebrate it.
Congratulations, Jen! And, wow, I’ll confess–I’m jealous! 🙂 Have a great time in Hawaii!
I sure did enjoy the release party, what a blast! My wish list has expanded immensley today! This book will remain in my radar, looks fantastic!
I am so happy that I am on the road to a healthier lifestyle and have lost 30 lbs so far. Actually between myself, my husband and my 17 year old son we have lost over 100 lbs! So it is even more enjoyable when I do get the time to relax and enjoy a book!
Thank you, Patty! So glad you had fun! And congratulations on losing 30 pounds! That must have taken so much hard work and dedication–your whole family is phenomenal! Congrats to you all!
Well I just go my final semester results and I got mostly A’s. I’ve never seen so many A’s on my marksheet before and I feel very proud of myself coz I worked my butt off! *patting self on back* Maybe I’ll treat myself to a book or 2……or 10!

Thank you! Sorry to hear about the power outage (so glad it’s back on!), and congrats on all your other good news!
My husband and I are on vacation right at this moment; one of the rare times we are alone since our children aged 27 and 29 still live at home; we decided to take a road trip and I’m in a motel enjoying the time with him.We have been married almost 32 years and we feel great!
32 years? That’s fantastic! Congratulations! I hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation.

I love reading and am greatful for the chance to review book for nightowl romance. Love getting to books early. I am homebound due to a spinal cord injury, so my books are a way to escape for a while. Can’t wait for the fireworks this weekend. We can see them from our house. Can’t wait to get never cry wolf.
Robin
Robin, I am so sorry to hear about your spinal cord injury. I hope that the fireworks are wonderful for you this weekend.
I am so glad I caught this post on facebook. This book sounds AMAZING! One wonderful thing that is happening to me at the moment is that I made President’s list at my college again. If I can keep it up for four more terms I will make summa cum laude when I graduate.
Awesome, Tiffany! Congrats!
My brother is coming home from college next week and he’s sticking around for a while. He’s one of my best friends, so I’m really looking forward to spending time with him! And he’s also one of the only people in my life who can cheer me up when I’m having a rough day. Things have been rough lately, so I’m glad he’ll be there to make me laugh. Thanks for having the giveaway!
Hope you don’t have any more rough times! I’m glad your brother is coming home and I sure hope he cheers you up.
My girls bring me my greatest joy and today I treated myself to the RWA book signing and got to talk to some of my favorite authors.
Children can be so wonderful. 😉 And I bet the signing was fun!
As of this week I’ve lost 68lbs!
Fantastic! Congrats!
i got 3 wonderful children and 2 granchildren. the most and best thing for me
then books, chocolate. fried squash that just getting ready to bloom
That’s a whole lot to celebrate!
Congratulations on the release of Never Cry Wolf. I am so glad I was able to be here and share in your excitement. This has been a wonderful Release Day Party!
There are so many good things happening in my life. In just a few weeks my family will be traveling to New Orleans to visit with my sister and her family. The last my husband and kids visited with me was the month before Katrina. In addition to getting to see my sister I have a new nephew and niece I am excited to meet.
Thanks for coming to the party, Chris! I hope you have a good trip to NO and congrats on the new family members!
I have great friends and hopefully in the near future great business partners.
Sending good vibes your way–hope you get those great business partners!
I can’t wait to read this book. Something that’s making me happy in my life right now is were getting ready to move to another state. I can’t wait, it’s going to be a adventure.
I love adventures! May it be a great one for you!
Congrats for the release date of Never Cry Wolf, Cynthia! ^_^
Great things happen at my life? Not so many, because my life just ordinary, lol. But I think when finally I finish my study at college and do my final exam, even the result not great, it still the great day in my life 🙂
Thank you, Ren! And I think ordinary can be quite grand. 🙂 Sometimes, it’s the ordinary things that are the best…enjoying quiet times, hanging with friends…Good luck with the rest of your studies!
Today we did a Pre-k screening for my youngest son and I’m soooo happy that he might actually be going to school this year. My house might actually become clean once again!! Between that and this party youj’re doing I’m having a great day!
LOL, I gave up on having a clean house! But if you can get one, I will be jealous!
I just spent my 25th birthday last week in the Bahamas!
Wow–fun! And happy late birthday!
Getting Romance Trading cardsl!:) Sad I know but little things make me happy and make my day go better
Hey, little things are great! And Romance Trading cards are just fun. 🙂
winning the Arc would be good news.. hehe!
LOL! 🙂
The best thing in my life is my guy and that things are getting better. 🙂
I hope they get better every day.
I found out yesterday that my son who has a vocabulary learning disability has the chance to go to a very special demonstration school to help him where they use ipads and ipods in the class room to teach them how to read in a visual way as opposed to the traditional means. This school has a class size of 5 to 8 kids and will hopefully give him a chance to catch up with his peers. One of my other boys is heading into draft year for juniors and he has a head start by making Team Ontario for inline hockey so I get to visit Cinncinatti in August. So its going to hopefully be a busy and productive year. Oh yeah, my bookthong business seems to be getting a lot of interest and hopefully it will help pay for said big hockey year LOL
Woo hoo!!!! Very happy news!!!!!! Congrats!!!
You’ve got a lot of great news! How wonderful! I hope your son is able to attend the special demonstration school–that sounds like a fantastic environment.
My special little girl meeting a milestone today and me catching her in a picture. We treasure each one and for me to catch it on my phone in a pic was big. I am very happy I get to go to sleep next to my hero/bff and that we are blessed with two very different but beautiful children. I am honored that you have included us readers in your happy day!!! THANK YOU!!!
Oh, Bobbie, sounds like you caught a very sweet moment! How nice! 🙂 And thank you for coming to the release party!
Congrats! Im so happy for you! One good thing happening in my life right now is my mom and family is starting up owr own business. Were going to be taking care of special people and people who are disabled. Im so excited. 🙂 Thank you!
Oh wow!!!!!!!!!!! How awesome!! Wish y’all the best of luck. 🙂 As a mom to a special little girl (and her awesome big bro), I know how important a company like that is to re community.
Thank you, shadow! And I wish you the best of luck with your new business. My brother is one of the special people in the world, and I admire everyone who helps disabled individuals lead better lives.
Awww. Thanks! Im so excited. This week we’re writing a bunch of proposals and hopefully will get some bids. *crossing fingers* My mom and I both have worked in heath care fields and we hate the way some people are treated. I get attached so easy to them and starting our own company gives us the chance to help those who need it and love thoses who never had it. Once we get on our feet and things are going good, we want to branch out of state and try to start closing asylums. I hate those things!
What makes me happy is having a supportive husband who encourages my dreams and hobbies- including writing, my book addiction, and photography. Also what makes me happy is my wonderful two year old who’s got such a happy mood pretty much most of the time.
🙂 A Great husband and child–perfect things to celebrate!
My neice is having her first child in December and I’m planning on seeing the new Harry Potter movie the first weekend it is out.
🙂 Two reasons to celebrate!
I am blessed with 2 beautiful, healthy children a husband im still madly in love with.
Sounds like you have a wonderful life, Marie! That’s the best!
I’m healthy, have completed my six month probation at my new job, and today I verified a 20 pound loss in Weight Watchers. I’m feeling pretty good right now. And I enjoyed your release party very much, congrats on the release of Never Cry Wolf.
You should be feeling pretty good! That’s fantastic!
And thank you for the congrats, Barbara!
I was given the next 4 days & the 4th off to spend time with my family, which includes the sweetest 1-week old nephew EVER!!!!
I’m celebrating life – everyday. I don’t want to waste a minute. Thanks for hosting such a fabulous day. It’s been great meeting so many authors.
I’m going riding by bicycle. It’s going to be a hot day for it, but I know how to keep cool.
