With very special thanks to Bewitching Book Tours we have been able to kick start our Halloween posts in style! L.M. Pruitt joins us today to share what she loves about Halloween and also an excerpt from her NEW book Shades Of Blood! We know you’ll want to get your teeth in (Halloween related humour!!) to these brilliant posts…
Here is an excerpt from L.M. Pruitt’s guest post on why she loves Halloween…
“Pumpkin Pie. Okay, so this is probably one of the top reasons for my love of Halloween. I love pumpkin pie. Really, truly, love pumpkin pie. If I could only have pie for the rest of my life, it would be pumpkin pie. And while I know you can make pumpkin pie at any other time of the year, it just doesn’t taste right to me unless I’m eating it between October and December. And speaking of pumpkins….”

Here is an excerpt from Shades Of Blood…
“I’m going to kill her.” I didn’t throw the phone across the room like I wanted to, but instead, set it down gently on the coffee table. I took a deep breath and held it for a long moment before releasing it. “I’ll just have to owe Williams another favor.”

Sweet As Sin By Kenya Carlton
Genre: Multicultural Paranormal Romance
Sweet as Sin Blurb:
The rich and available Captain Drake Devilin had the biggest body count in World War I. Injected with serum that turned him into something unnatural, Drake’s troop annihilated the enemy, but once his tour ended, Drake was plunged into a world of family tragedy and financial ruin.
Sienna Caldwell is stunning to even the biggest cynic; with her exotic looks and rich brown skin, the playboy wasn’t exempt from her charms. Buckling under the pressure of his financially strapped inheritance, Drake makes a deal with the devil to marry the prosperous landowner in order to protect her.
After one year, he can return the black beauty back to her island and collect on the fortune that will save his family’s reputation, but the task proves far easier said than done. The war may have made Drake into something lethal, but he soon finds his new bride was born more powerful than he could ever imagine. Not only does Drake have to figure out away to keep his hands off his alluring wife, but also he has to make sure she stays alive.

We are really honoured to be joined today by Blair McDowell for today’s BBTT (Bewitching Book Tour Tuesdays). Blair took time out of her busy schedule to share with her view on casting The Memory Of Roses. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Here is an extract from the guest post:
“A friend of mine is a film editor. She has worked on a number of major films, including one of my all-time favorites, Under the Tuscan Sun.
She kindly offered to read my manuscript and make suggestions on The Memory of Roses at the point where I was readying it for submission to publishers. She was helpful in a number of ways, principally in helping me to thinking visually, rather than only in words.“

Book Description:
A cursed amber amulet unearthed in Pompeii flings Arcona into a past life of witchcraft, bloodshed, revenge, and sexual slavery to the cruel Master of a gladiatorial school. This violent parallel world is populated with “Slayers,” blood-drinking immortals devoted to the gods of war and mayhem.
As a Strix, or malignant witch, Arcona once used sex and blood rituals to create a race of immortal warriors to unleash on Rome. Now it’s time to pay.
The gladiator Tyr was one desperately lonely lover she betrayed. Against his will, she turned him into Upir Likhyi, a foul vampire. For two millennia he’s lived a grim existence as a Slayer, in constant sexual arousal yet denied release; now, he’s pissed off and wants revenge. He kidnaps Arcona, planning to drink her dry and break the curse.
Along the way Arcona and Tyr relive their sexual slavery at the hands of Rome and blood sport in the arena, but the real magic is they forgive and fall in love.
Too bad another Slayer wants them dead.

VAMPIRE BLOG – (SIGNED COPIES)
Blurb/Book Description:
A supernatural adventure set in present day and 1945 Berlin. Our heroine is Eva, a shell-shocked young vampire who is found wandering around in the ruins of Berlin Cathedral on the last day of the war by soldiers.
We are privilaged to be joined by the amazing Kenya Carlton today. She took time out of her busy schedule to share with us her choices of locations. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
Here is an excerpt:
“The backdrop for any novel is important. Sometimes, even without trying, the author makes the location the quietest character in the book and other time the location is the book. For example, instead of those foggy moors, we’ll put those Hounds of Baskerville attacks in a bustling city. The book would probably read more like American Werewolf in Paris circa 1901 and of course Sherlock Holmes would be caught in the throes of depression by the downward spiral society had suddenly taken. What if Carrie Bradshaw worked at the Idaho Press-Tribune instead of a paper in New York? Well, the answer is easy. Nobody would know who the hell she was because there might Sex and the City, but there wouldn’t be Sex in Boise—at least not with Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda.”
