GABRIEL will be here in just about a week. For anyone who hasn’t done it already, both print and e-book are available for pre-order. You can find the links HERE. But in the meantime, I want my readers to be ready for him, so, with my publisher’s help, I’m having a giveaway. TWO (2) lucky readers will win e-book copies of DECEPTION (because those events play a role in RAPHAEL’s part of Gabriel’s story,) KATO, and DAMIAN (the two previous books in the Stone Warriors series.
The entry rules follow:
1. Send an email to dbreynoldswriter@gmail.com with READY FOR GABRIEL on the subject line.
2. Return email address MUST BE A VALID EMAIL ADDRESS.
3. Include your first and last name in the body of the email.
4. All entries must be received by midnight, October 27, 2018.
5. Two winners will be selected at random from among the entries received by the deadline.
6. Winners will be notified by return email, and will have three (3) days to respond, after which a new winner will be chosen.
7. One entry per person. All duplicate entries will be deleted.
When I’m not getting ready for GABRIEL or working on LACHLAN, I’m organizing the photo gallery from my recent trip. It’s so difficult to select which pictures to include. There’s beauty everywhere you look in Scotland, and I have tons of pictures. But I think I have it down to just over 80 pix. Yep, that’s DOWN to 80 pix! You thought I was joking about how many pictures I took, right? lol Anyway, I’m adding some captions for the gallery, so you’ll know what you’re looking at, and it should be up in time for next week’s blog.
That’s it. LACHLAN is calling (heh, heh.) Don’t forget to enter the giveaway and follow all the rules, and I’ll see you back here next week.

Yep, I’m back from my month in Europe, which started in Poland and ended with two weeks in Scotland. This is a shot of me, all bundled up on a rainy, windy day along the shores of Loch Lomond. It was a fantastic trip, during which I found LACHLAN’s family estate, and I even found his name on the rolls of McCrae (aka MacCrae) ancestors who fought in past wars and survived. It was a long trip, so I have a whole lot of pictures. I’m sorting through them all, putting together a gallery of the best, which I’ll share in the next week or two, once I have them in some reasonable order. 
To celebrate GABRIEL’s upcoming release, my publisher, ImaJinn/Belle 
This will be me from now until the end of the year, writing like crazy to get LACHLAN’s story finished while the beauty of Scotland is still fresh in my mind. But I’ll be back next Monday, with some new giveaways for GABRIEL, including e-books of KATO and DAMIAN, for anyone who needs to catch up with the series before reading GABRIEL, or after reading it. I’m very excited about this story, the first crossover with my Vampires in America. Everyone who’s read the book has loved it, and I know you will, too.
I’m doing a bit of traveling while they finish tearing my house apart. Hopefully, I’ll come home to a brand new kitchen! I’m late posting this week, since I’m having trouble remembering what day of the week it is. It’s not the time zones that get to me, it’s the break in routine. Every day is the same when you’re traveling. Having a wonderful time, though, and I’ll have a full report with pictures when I get back.
In the meantime, though, the writing doesn’t stop. I’m already hard at work on LACHLAN (Vampires in America #13) and BIG NEWS, I’ve completed the Galley Proof on GABRIEL, which is the last step before he’s ready for prime time. I’ve also seen the mock-up of the GABRIEL cover, which means he should be up for pre-order very soon. I can’t tell you how excited I am about this book, because it’s my first crossover between the two series. Oh, and the cover is beautiful!
And with that, I’m going to sleep. I’ve already put in several hours writing, on top of walking almost 4 miles, and climbing way too many steps. I’m a tired writer, and tomorrow (or, rather, today) is another busy day.
I wish I could show you the cover of GABRIEL. He’s sooooo gorgeous. But not yet. The artist at ImaJinn is still finalizing the cover, but it won’t be long. The release date has been set for October 30, and ImaJinn wants the pre-order up soon. I’m so excited about this book. I just loved writing it. It’s always fun for me when Raphael and Cyn get in on the action.
Lessons in what not to do … don’t try to pack for a long trip in the middle of a renovation. Argh. I had a quiet weekend, i.e., no contractors, so I managed to clean my laundry room and keep it clean long enough to wash all the clothes I’ll be taking with me. I still have to pack my pantry (not for the trip, but because they’re going to tear my kitchen apart.) But I already packed the important stuff … which means the wine, vodka, and tequila are safe. Priorities, people.
