Contest: Rename Me!
Every good blogger knows when it is time to ask for help. I’m waving my little bitty white flag. I need to rename and rework this blog a bit. I need to broaden my horizons in terms of what I’m reading, but also what I’m writing about. I want to talk about books and kindles, but also games and girls and other geeky like things.
So with that I’m going to redesign and rename. However… creativity is not my strong point. I’m a math nerd! No judging, I’m asking for help. Suggest a new domain name for me if I choose yours you win a signed copy of the first book in Vicki Pettersson’s Signs of the Zodiac Series. Along with that, I’ll offer up a free blog template design (See Mama Kitty Reviews as an example). Graphic Design work would be extra.
It needs to be catchy, available, and fun. I’d love to have Vixen in it somehow but not required. It can not use the word kindle. Just to give you a start, things I’m going to write about:
So…. give me what you got? I do have something tickling my mind thanks to a twitter friend (VixenViews) but I’m indecisive like #woah. So, comment….. go!
Win a Kindle: What team will you be on? Team Werewolf *rawr*!
The writing duo of Moira Rogers is kicking off a brand new contest in celebration of the release of their new books, Sanctuary Unbound and Safe Harbor. What is so kick ass about this contest? Its taking place across all of your favorite blogs and YOU could win a brand new Kindle. Check the bottom of this post for more details.
This will probably not come as a surprise to anyone, but I am declaring myself, Team Werewolf Bootlegger. Why you ask? As if I need to explain. Bree and Donna, of Moira Rogers, happen to write the best damn werewolves I have ever read. They never fail to disappoint me in all the growling dominant ways that matter. But for your sake, I thought I would do a quick list of why werewolves are better than vampires.
Werewolves are always better than vampires because….
- They are alive. Yes, blood pumps throughout their body and i mean ALL of their body, if you know what I mean.
- When they growl, they mean it. Its so natural and authentic goosebumps will pop up along your arms and your body will tingle in all the right places.
- It is part of a werewolf’s nature to protect you and the family, you will always feel safe.
- Want to go out shopping at 2 in the afternoon? Have no fear, your werewolf will be there hold your purse while you pop into the dressing room to try something on. No pesky sun allergy to deal with. (As a side note, this also means afternoon sexy time is possible…bow chicca bow wow)
- Werewolves eat real food, not blood. Why is this important? First, drinking blood is gross. Second, It means they can make you breakfast… I am thinking waffles. Bonus points if you get the werewolf to make you waffles but you never get around to eating them because he is too damn sexy to not jump upon and have your evil ways with, on the kitchen floor. Yes Derek…. this one is dedicated to you.
- If you ever get cold, your shifter can simply change to wolf and cuddle up with you for hours of warmth and fuzziness.
- Werewolves have super strength, I am going to assume super stamina has to go along with this….Stamina is important ladies
- If your particular werewolf is a bootlegger….. you get free booze. +10
Now for a few of my favorite Moira Rogers werewolf quotes…. as if you need further proof:
Connor
The voice in his head protested. He ignored it and reached into her pocket, plucking out her key. He held it in front of her as he bent close to her ear. “Do you want to go upstairs with one of them, or with someone who knows what the geeky slogan on your T-shirt means?”
She leaned into his caressing fingers with a soft noise of pleasure. “A hunky brilliant techie werewolf with a dirty mind…” I’m in love. “That’s pretty much the hottest thing ever.”
Zack
When Zack didn’t thrust all the way into her, she growled and whipped her head around, not bothering to stop the giddy flood of power that spilled from her along with her challenging words. “I can take anything you can give me, so fuck me already.”
He tugged her head back with a low growl and slapped her ass with his other hand. “If you ask nicely.”
Derek
One hand dropped to her ankle, and his large fingers encircled it easily. “Tell me to stop.”
She couldn’t. She wouldn’t. “No.”
Derek dragged her ankles apart and dropped to his knees between her legs. He tickled his fingers up her calves as he jerked his gaze to hers again. “Put your hands over your head.”
Sheer primal instinct drove her to obey.
What team are you on?

Author Interview & New Release: Moira Rogers
A great big welcome to Bree and Donna, who make up the awesomely talented writing team of Moira Rogers. I am going to try to behave and tone down some of my natural perviness for you girls, thanks for being willing to answer my fan girl questions! For those who are unaware, the second book in the Southern Arcana series, Crossroads is now on sale everywhere e-books are sold! To celebrate, they wanted to give away an ebook copy of Crux to one lucky person, winner is posted at the bottom!
He’s the last man she should ever want. She’s the last woman he can ever have.
Coming from a family with psychic gifts, Derek Gabriel was aware of but separate from the dangers of the supernatural world, until a rogue wolf shifter stripped away his humanity. The change he barely survived didn’t drive him insane, but the cultural bias against him as an inferior transformed wolf might. And it doesn’t help that he’s fallen for the daughter of the most powerful wolf in the country.
Almost from the moment she was born, Nicole Peyton started planning her escape from the strict confines of elite shapeshifter society, an old-fashioned world where women are valued only for their bloodlines and bank accounts. In New Orleans she has a bar she loves, friends in decidedly low places, and a smoldering sensual tension with an incredibly attractive and deliciously unsuitable man.
Their forbidden longing erupts into unbridled need—until Nick’s sister burns into town with a strike team hard on her heels. Saving her means Nick has to play by the Conclave’s rules…and give up the man she is growing to love.
Unless Derek does something completely crazy—issue a challenge that could shake the foundations of their world.
Cool new author and contest – Jeannie Holmes
Over in my left sidebar you may notice an interesting graphic of some peeps with weapons. That is there to represent my love of Vicki Pettersson and the “peeps” on her forum. They are a really awesome group of people who share my love of books and my pervy sense of humor, not to mention the tendency to “pre-lick” book characters in an effort to claim them first. Among my VPeeps is one Jeannie Holmes who just happens to be releasing her very first novel, Blood Law, through Dell Publishing this summer.
To celebrate she is giving away signed copies of Blood Law cover flats! You can see the many ways to enter here. Haven’t heard of Blood Law? Well take a look below and I hope you will add it to your “to read” pile!
A provocative and savvy vampire, Alexandra Sabian moves to the sleepy hamlet of Jefferson, Mississippi—population 6,000, nearly one-half vampires—to escape the demons lurking in her past. As an Enforcer for the Federal Bureau of Preternatural Investigation (FBPI), Alex must maintain the uneasy peace between her kind and humans, including Jefferson’s bigoted sheriff, who’d be happy to see all vampires banished from town. Then really dead vamps start turning up—beheaded, crucified, and defanged—killed in the same gruesome manner that Alex’s father was murdered decades ago. For Alex, the professional has become way too personal.
Things get even more complicated when the FBPI sends in some unnervingly sexy backup: Alex’s one-time mentor, lover, and fiancé, Varik Baudelaire. Still stinging from the betrayal that ended their short-lived engagement, Alex is determined not to give in to the temptation that soon threatens to short-circuit her investigation.Like it or not, though, as the body count grows, and the public panic level rises, Varik may be her only hope to stop a relentless killer who’s got his own score to settle, and his own bloody past to put right.
