Mug Shot: Votes for Women Mug

 

Tomorrow's Election Day. You know what to do!  

This is a very cool mug. I bought it in Galveston. It's decorated to look like the sashes the suffragists wore during the very early 1900s. You can read more about it here:

Or...if you prefer to be educated in a more auditory/visual manner, there's also this. Enjoy!

Saturday Surprise: Hungry Heart

 

What's Halloween without a few extra treats? So here's a surprise FREEBIE, available for just the next few days. 

In case you don't know, Hungry Heart is a companion book to Visions Before Midnight (Oberon, book seven). While it can stand on its own (and does contain scenes and material that does not appear in Visions) this is essentially Cara's version of some of the events that occur (in much greater detail) in that book. 

She may or may not be accurate.  Which begs the question, "Do you trust her?"

There's also a fun (for a certain value of "fun") forward by Gregg Gilchrist--who very much wants it to be known that he's the Big Bad of the whole Oberon series. I mean...he's not exactly wrong. 

It's a spooky little story. Download it and enjoy!

Hungry Heart An Oberon Halloween Story   ​ Cara Matthews is trouble--with a capital T. That's one thing that pretty much everyone in Oberon can agree on--parents, teachers, other students, her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Seth Cavanaugh. Well, if you give a dog a bad name he--or she--will probably live up to it, right? ​This Halloween, after one insult too many, Cara's hellbent on wreaking revenge--no matter who gets hurt in the process.

Download for FREE until November 5th.

Tuesday Deals and Steals: Going Back to Find You

It's almost Halloween! And how better to celebrate than by making Going Back to Find You FREE for the next five days? Also, it'll be coming off Kindle Unlimited in a few weeks--which is great if you buy your books elsewhere, not so great if you're a KU aficionado. Although, I gotta say, if you DO read all your books on KU? Yeah, you've likely been missing this anyway. 

This is a bit of a spin-off of my Children of Night series. It's still Clan Quintano, but the Beyond the CofN books focus on some of the less-central family members. Like Jason, who should up briefly in In the Dark, and then was never seen again--until now! I LOVE him in this book. He's such a sweetheart. He's not the strongest vampire in the nest, but he's got a lot of heart. Also, I love second chance romances so there's that, as well. You can find it here:

Going Back To Find You

Because even a vampire deserves a second chance. 

When Jason Cook boarded the train to San Francisco, he didn't plan on coming back. He never really thought he'd see Nebraska or Lizbeth Petersen ever again. But when an unexpected turn of events threatens the woman he'd been forced to leave behind, he has no choice but to go back and try to make things right. 

Warning: This is not a drill. Vampires are invading your favorite, small Nebraska town this Halloween. Does this mean Type-O flavored Booze will soon be the new rage in Sapphire Falls? Hopefully, it won't come to that. But you never can tell...

Mug Shot: Halloween House Mug

 

Ooh, is this not the cutest mug? The illustrations on each side are slightly different, which I love. And it's just playful and colorful and adorable. And it's got the gilt handle which I think has been one of the big themes for mugs this year. I really don't want to think too hard about why that might be the case, because I have several mugs like that now, and I don't want to have to get rid of them all.  

So that's it really. It's a cute, glittery, fun, colorful Halloween-themed mug that's not shaped or colored like a pumpkin. Not that I have anything against pumpkin shaped or colored mugs, I have several of those, too. 

Mug Shot: Jeans Fit

I don't know why I like this mug. And I can't for the life of me remember where I got it. But it's cute and...sort of true.

Anyway, here's the link to a playlist all about Blue Jeans.

Mug Shot: Sarcasm Mug

 

I love sarcasm. One of the most depressing aspects of online communication is how sarcasm so easily gets lost in translation. I think we need to bring that back. 

Things I love about this mug: The shape, the satin finish, the unglazed bottom, the mid-century modern/diner-y vibe of the illustration. Actually, the shape's pretty MCM, too, come to think of it. As is the color. So, yeah. All in all, this mug is very "me". And that's NOT sarcasm, btw.
