IT’S ALL ABOUT QUINN

Posted by dbreynolds on April 23, 2018

QUINN is nearly here and Ireland will never be the same. (I hope. 😀 ) To celebrate QUINN’s debut on April 27th, my publisher is running a giveaway for an e-book copy of QUINN, plus a lot of other goodies, including this adorable vampire hedgehog. I want you to imagine that … a vampire hedgehog. Kind of gives you chills, doesn’t it? But this one is stuffed and fluffy.

——————-

Here are the details of my publisher’s giveaway …

Giveaway runs from Sunday, April 22nd, to Thursday, April 26th!

One winner will be selected on Friday, April 27th!

Prize includes:
1. A Bookshout ebook code for Quinn, the newest Vampires in America release
2. An adorable stuffed vampire hedgehog
3. A bunch of vampire themed goodies!

All entries will be added to D. B. Reynolds’s newsletter after the giveaway ends!

——————-

This publisher giveaway is for U.S. entries only, but you know I never forget my international readers. My newsletter will be out on QUINN’s release day (April 27) with an excerpt and a new giveaway for an autographed copy of QUINN that will be open internationally. No hedgehog, though.

If you’re not already signed up for my newsletter, you can subscribe HERE.

You should also know that the PRINT version of QUINN is now available for pre-order from both AMAZON and BN.com.

And with that I’m going back to GABRIEL. I’m already half in love with my new warrior, looking forward to bringing him to California and writing the rest of his story.

I’ll see you all on Thursday, with QUINN!

DECEPTION, RAPHAEL, RELENTLESS AND QUINN! (so much news!)

Posted by dbreynolds on April 16, 2018

First, QUINN is almost here! I’m excited and nervous and I hope you all love him as much as I do.

DECEPTION’s Audiobook just popped up on Audible and Amazon! Yay! You can find all the buy links, including Audible.com, HERE!

With only two weeks left until QUINN makes his mark, it’s time to go back to where it all started … with RAPHAEL. And to celebrate, his e-book is on super sale for a VERY short period of time—only US$0.99 on all digital platforms.

Once again, since some of the events in RELENTLESS are significant for QUINN, I’m giving away a copy of the RELENTLESS e-novella. The winner of the second giveaway (last week) has already been notified. This week will be the third and final giveaway, because it’s almost time for QUINN’s release on April 27th. (Yay!)

Here are the rules for this THIRD WEEK of the snap giveaway!

NOTE: I HAD A LOT OF ENTRIES IN THE TWO PREVIOUS WEEKS, SO IF YOU ENTERED EITHER OF THE LAST TWO WEEKS, YOU DON’T NEED TO ENTER AGAIN. I’LL ROLL ALL OF EXISTING NON-WINNING ENTRIES INTO THIS FINAL WEEK!

For those who missed entering already, here are the rules.

1. Send an email to dbreynoldswriter@gmail.com with RELENTLESS 2018 on the subject line.
2. Your return email address MUST BE A VALID EMAIL ADDRESS.
3. All entries FOR WEEK THREE must be received by midnight, April 20, 2018.
5. One (1) winner will be selected at random from among qualified entries received by the deadline.
6. Winner will be notified by return email, and will have five (5) days to respond, after which a new winner will be chosen.
7. The winner will receive one (1) e-book copy of RELENTLESS by D. B. Reynolds.
8. One entry per person. All duplicate entries will be deleted.
9. Good luck!

And finally . . . it was windy as hell here last week. Although I’ll take that over the April snow/sleet/ice storm that hit almost everywhere else. Besides, the wind doesn’t matter much when you’re a hermit-like writer sitting in her comfy chair tapping away on a laptop. (That would be yours truly, btw.) I’m well into GABRIEL, who, just to remind you, is the third of my STONE WARRIORS. I’m particularly excited about his book, because it’s a crossover between my VAMPIRES and my STONE WARRIORS, which means Raphael and Nick get to play in the same sandbox again. Cyn would probably just leave town, if she didn’t think they’d kill each other without her.

I think that’s enough news for now, so I’ll be back next week with more on GABRIEL and especially QUINN!!

Until then, stay warm.

As I mentioned last week, some of the events in RELENTLESS are significant for QUINN, so I’ve decided to do a RELENTLESS giveaway for every week leading up to QUINN’s release on April 27th. Last week’s winner has already been verified, but the snap giveaway continues.

Here are the rules for the SECOND WEEK of this snap giveaway!

I had someone email me this week about a package sent, and I had to confess that I hadn’t been to the Post Office, because I’ve barely left my cave (aka my house) lately. I’m nearing the finish line on Shifter Planet 2 … a few more days left. After that, I’ll sit in the sunshine (under an umbrella) for a day or two and then it’s back into the cave for GABRIEL (Stone Warriors 3.) Mein Gott, what was I thinking? 😀

And just to prove I really am certifiably insane, I’ve taken the first steps toward a long-delayed renovation of my house. I’m doing it in stages, because I need at least one working bathroom and a place to write! And I’m taking a long break between the two halves of the house. But I’m replacing all the floors, which essentially means packing up like you’re moving, including all my books, because the bookcases/shelves have to move. There are, I don’t know, hundreds, maybe THOUSANDS of books? ::sigh:: I’m looking forward to the end result, but not the process. My contractor keeps trying to cheer me up. lol

I’m heading back into the cave now. I might have to scout out a real cave once they start tearing up my house. Will gutting the walls bring out bugs? ::shudder::

Okay, back to work! See you next week!

FIRST KISS CONTEST, QUINN, & BURNING KISS

Posted by dbreynolds on February 26, 2018

The winner of my 2018 Valentine’s Day contest has been notified and now has five (5) days to respond. If I don’t hear within 5 days, a new winner will be chosen and notified.

As for the contest answer … a lot of my readers thought the first kiss was after the fight in Kolinsky’s warehouse, but it wasn’t. The first time Raphael and Cyn kiss is actually in her bedroom when she’s changing clothes to get ready for Kolinsky’s. Raphael is lounging on her bed, watching. Here’s the scene.

“He shot off the bed faster than her eyes could follow, suddenly right in front of her, his eyes sleepy with lust, his voice so deep she could feel the vibration in her chest. “Was there a problem at the Judkins, Cyn?” His fingers slipped easily into the open waistband of her jeans, sliding beneath the fabric to caress her bare hip, his thumb insinuating itself beneath the band of her thong. It was such an intimate gesture, her breath caught in her throat as she looked up and met his black eyes. No, not black. Not now. They gleamed silver in the dim light.

“Yes,” she whispered. “I mean, no. It . . . it surprised me, that’s all,” she managed to say.

He lowered his head and ran his lips along her jaw, nuzzling first her ear, then her neck. The line of their bodies never touched, only his fingers stroking the smooth, naked skin of her hip. His lips touched hers gently, nudging her mouth open, his tongue circling, tasting her.”

———-

I had really hoped to have a Quinn cover and book trailer this week, but the cover gods didn’t smile on me. They were very possibly frozen out by the deep temps and freeze warnings here in sunny (supposedly) Southern California. But soon!

I do have a book recommendation for my readers. BURNING KISS by my friend and fellow writer, Angela Addams, is up for pre-order. There’s nothing paranormal here, just a taut psychological thriller that explores the terrifying depths of the human psyche. Jade is a dark, deeply damaged heroine, a former prison therapist who specialized in counseling the most violent rapists, and who was a firm believer in rehabilitation . . . until one of her former patients came looking for her and found her best friend instead. Leaving her practice and years of research behind, she sets off on a vigilante pursuit of justice that eventually sucks her into a gruesome murder investigation. There’s a man hunting women on her old university campus, and the police have no real leads. But Jade doesn’t have to play by the rules. And she knows just how to entice a predator. You really should check this one out!
