Tammy D.

Congrats!!  I'll be emailing you for shipping addresses and other details.  Thanks for making my Monday rock!

**************

There’s just something about Mondays … ugh.  It’s that whole beginning of the week thing that has me dragging through my morning routine.  Well, I decided to do something about it, because for once, I’d like to say my Monday rocked!!

I have been running a few giveaways here and there on other blogs, but it’s been a LONG time since I offered up a giveaway on my own.

So here’s the deal …

I’m going to give away TWO signed copies of Soul Avenged and Sons of Wrath t-shirts to go along with them!

Answer the question below and enter to win via the Rafflecopter:

Pretend there was this novel about, oh I dunno, a bunch of sexy, brawny alpha demons who deal in vengeance.  And by some stroke of luck (that leaves the author of said book hyperventilating with excitement), it’s made into a movie.  Who would you cast as four of the demons?

They don’t have to be MY four demons, mind you.

Just pick four hotties that you’d love to see in one movie together in the comments below.

This contest will run until Monday, April 29th, because Mondays usually suck and I need something to look forward to, right?

So give me some sexy picks and a reason to wake up all chipper and stuff: a Rafflecopter giveaway

Giveaway and Interview - #SoulAvenged

Happy Hump Day!  To celebrate, I'm editing some pretty steamy scenes this morning for Sons of Wrath #2, so I'll make this a quickie post ... Okay so the party is over now that the blog tour has ended, but that doesn't mean the fun & giveaways are done!  Think you might like a signed paperback copy of Soul Avenged?

Hop on over to Silk Screen Views where you can enter to win one and check out the very FIRST character interview with Kane and Ayden!  If you've read the book, take a stab at what actors come to mind for these two, leave your response in the comments and your name goes in a hat for the signed paperback.  Even if you've not read the book--take a guess and you could win!

Friday is the LAST day for this contest so go, go, GO!   CLICK HERE

Hope everyone's having a great week!

 

WINNERS OF THE SOUL AVENGED GIVEAWAY!!

The Soul Avenged Blog Tour has officially ended and I'm actually kind of bummed about that.  Not gonna lie--it’s been a lot fun hopping around from blog to blog!  Like I've been partying for the last month and now the hangover's setting in. So you probably want to know--who won the big giveaway?? 

Here are the winners: a Rafflecopter giveaway

ALSO!

I did a bit of prowling through the posts and Holly Collins was selected as winner of the $10 Amazon gift card!

Congratulations to all and thank you for following the tour.

But now that the tour is over, what’s to come?

I’ll give you an update on what I’ve got going on in my secret lab (and a little sneak preview of Sons of Wrath #2).  Before I do that though, I have to thank all of the FANDAMNTABULOUS bloggers who spent the month pimping my book.  You are just too wonderful for words.  Some of you tweeted and shared FB updates for other bloggers as well and I'm just amazed by the camaraderie of the blogging community.  I’m so glad to have met all of you and I look forward to talking books and working with you on future releases!  Some of you also left very humbling reviews as well and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that!  Bloggers are my heroes!  Seriously, I love LOVE you guys.

Okay so WHAT'S NEXT???

First, if you missed them on the tour, I’ll be posting all of the Wrath Brother snippets right here to my website with links to the original blog posts.  Those fun little snippets will give you a peek at the banter that you can expect from these guys.

Second, Sons of Wrath #2 is already written.  But because I want to give you an even better story than Soul Avenged, I’m really tearing this sucker up in the edits before the editor stabs it with a sharp pen.  Next it will go to my lovely beta readers, who I’m hoping will claw the hell out of it.  After that, it’ll begin its journey toward publication.  All nice and shiny.  I’ll tell you--this one's a little bit darker than Soul Avenged and is probably my favorite story so far.

Here's a quick little snip (super short) from book 2:

Virgin.  The purity of the word cast a chill down his spine, like a stark white page about to be spattered with black ink.  Yeah, no lie, it kind of made him want her more.  Tasting her would only be the appetizer to what he had running through his mind—the main course, he’d spend hours savoring.  And she’d sure as hell be de-virginized by the end of it. 

Many times over.

Who?  My lips are sealed!

I will keep you updated on progress.  If you liked my Facebook page, you’ll find I’m pretty active there, keeping readers informed of what’s going on.

ONE MORE THING.

I have an idea in mind and I'd thought about doing a separate post but because this is going to be totally experimental on my part, I'm actually keeping it low key for now.  I'm running a Cover Model Contest for the Sons of Wrath #2!!  So I've been dropping off flyers at various locations where I might find a hunky guy to represent one of these sexy alpha brothers.  At first I wasn't sure how this would go, but the entries are coming in!  So I decided to open the contest up a little bit.

Do you know a physically fit male between the ages of 21-35 who is looking to build his modeling portfolio?  Send a head and torso shot (no full-on nudity please) to:  keri@kerilake.com .  Please indicate 'Model Search' in the subject line and be sure to provide contact information.  All entries will be reviewed and if a particular entrant has 'the look', he will be contacted with further details.

Okay...that's it for now!

I love chatting with readers and bloggers so if you have questions or just want to say hi @mention me on Twitter or post on my FB wall!
