Blood for Blood: the contest!

I'll admit it: I don't like vampire tales. A vast majority of them are trite and quite frankly, boring. But the creatures themselves have always fascinated me. What must it be like to live in the space between life and death? To murder in order to sustain yourself? Does the person you once were no longer exist when you've changed? Fascinating stuff indeed!

So let's talk about a vampire story that I actually really like. Ben Wolf wrote a fascinating tale set amidst real-world history: Blood for Blood. And it's wonderful. My review of the novel can be found here. (Be warned: it was among the first book reviews I ever posted.)

As a lover of redemption stories with a twist, I can't recommend this highly enough. And I'm giving you all the chance to win a signed copy! How cool is that? All you've got to do to enter is put your favorite vampire tale in the comments. I'll draw a winner on this Sunday, October 25th.

Thanks for tuning in!

    I'm getting a signed copy myself already, so don't include me in the giveaway. I've always been fond of Hellsing. It was cheesy, but it had Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale! Who doesn't like a fully automatic crossbow?

Warning! Guts on Page Two.

So, I just got back from my first spiritual retreat  Realm Makers conference. And I've got three words to describe the weekend: identity, shalom , and purpose. Let me explain: Robert Liparulo was the keynote speaker during this year's Realm Makers. He had a couple of words for us.  The first is stop . As in, stop allowing defeat in! We have been given incredible gifts. Passions and dreams that can change the world! And the shalom  - peace - that comes with knowing that He is before us! Our dreams are prayers to God! And He never  wastes dreams. So what are we to do with these gifts? That brings us to the second word: GO! Go with purpose. Go boldly. Walk securely in Him! Here's where it gets all guts-on-the-page-y: My identity has been worthless  since age eleven. That's been twenty-four years of me not knowing my identity in Him. So what did I learn on my trip to St. Louis? All sorts of incredible writing advice that I'll be unpacking - and sharing - ...

So I met the wonderful Amy Brock McNew at Realm Makers last year. Within the first ten minutes we were family. She's a fantastic woman full of love for both people and Spec Fic.

Another successful foray into the L2L2 vaults brought another cover to share with you all! Reconciliation is the sequel to Amy McNew's Rebirth . Here's the back cover copy: Some ghosts from the past refuse to stay dead. Finally. Finally everything is coming together for Liz Brantley. She’s marrying Ryland Vaughn, the man of her dreams. She’s embraced her calling and battles the minions of hell bent on her destruction. And she’s left her dark past far behind her. Or so she thought. A secret she holds close, stuffed down deep, surfaces at the wrong time for everyone in Liz’s life, leaving a trail of devastation. Left reeling, Liz wonders if she made a mistake, putting her trust in God, her guardian Arie, and Ryland. And the demon Kade capitalizes on her shaken faith. With a vengeance.
