Giveaway: Stand The Storm by Breena Clarke

Full Description (taken from here):

Even though former slaves Annie Coats and her son Gabriel have managed to buy their freedom, their lives are still marked by constant struggle and sacrifice--to the extent that Annie secretly recalls her days on the plantation with fondness. Washington's Georgetown neighborhood, where the Coatses are seeking to build their new lives--with Gabriel, a tailor, producing uniforms for soldiers and fine suits for pompous politicians, and Annie, a seamstress and laundress, catering to the nearby brothels and stately homes--is supposed to be a safe haven, a "promised land" for former slaves, but is effectively a frontier town, gritty and dangerous, with no laws protecting black people. In fact, the city's own emancipation efforts in 1862 serve only to compromise the Coats family's status, putting Gabriel's three young daughters (each of them born free of free parents) at risk of becoming the property of the Coatses' former master. The remarkable emotional energy with which the Coatses rise their daily battles--as they negotiate with their former owner, as they assist other former slaves en route to freedom, as they prepare for the encroaching war, and as they struggle to love each other enough--is what fuels this novel and makes its tragic denoument so devastating.

Giveaway: A Summer Affair by Elin Hilderbrand

Full Description (taken from here):

Claire Danner Crispin, mother of four young children and nationally renowned glassblower, bites off more than she can chew when she agrees to co-chair the Nantucket's Children Summer Gala.

Claire is asked to chair the benefit, in part, because she is the former high school sweetheart of rock star Max West. Max agrees to play the gala and it looks like smooth sailing for Claire-until she promises a "museum-quality" piece of glass for the auction, offers her best friend the catering job, goes nose-to-nose with her Manhattan socialite co-chair, and begins a "good-hearted" affair with the charity's Executive Director, Lockhart Dixon.

Hearts break and emotions are pushed to the limit in this riveting story of one woman's attempt to deal with loves past and present, family, business, and high-powered social pressures. Elin Hilderbrand's unique understanding of the joys and longings that animate women's lives will make this her newest summer bestseller.

Interview & Giveaway with Rachel Vincent

Hello all my lovely readers! I've got a special surprise for all of you. Can you guess what it is? Huh, can ya? I guess if you read the title of this post you already know. I'm super excited about this because I am a HUGE Rachel Vincent fan.

Rachel is the author of the Shifters series and the Soul Screamers series.

First I want to say thank you, Rachel, for giving me the opportunity to ask you these questions:)

When did you know that you wanted to be a writer?

Um... I've always wanted to be a writer, but I didn't realize I might be able to make a career of it until I started my first novel, in May of 2004. I haven't looked back since.

Who has been your biggest inspiration?

I think working parent/writers are my biggest inspiration. If people juggling full time day jobs and full time family commitments can still find time to write, and to write well, there's absolutely no reason that I can't. Or that anyone else can't, given the determination.

How do you create your characters?

I've found that they develop a lot with each text, based on what they're going through. The events and their decisions change people in books, just as in real life. So really, my characters are developed, at least in part, by the worlds they live in. By what's expected of them, and whether or not they rise to the occasion.

Are they based on real people?

No. Never. I don't feel like I have the right to write about real people, and I'd hate for someone I know to come off in an unflattering light in a book, and be offended. My characters are fiction, pure and simple.

If you could trade places with anyone, past or present, real or fiction, who would it be and why?

Truly, no one. I'm happy where I am in my life and wouldn't trade it for anything. ;-)

If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 3 items, what would they be and why?

Something to write with, something to write on, and some form of shelter. The necessities, you know. ;-0

If you couldn't be a writer anymore, what would be your second career choice?

I taught 9th grade English for a short while before becoming a writer, and I have a huge respect for teachers. So that would be a slim possibility. But there's a lot less creative freedom in that line of work. Other than that, I don't know! Guess I better make sure this writing thing pans out, huh? ;-)

What is your favorite kind of food?

Oh, I love junk food. Popcorn, hot wings, french fries dipped in honey mustard. But I can't afford to eat like that very often, so that's how I tend to celebrate things. Rarely. ;-) As for music, I have very eclectic tastes. Everything from 80s hair bands to Pink, to Papa Roach. I treally depends on what I need to feel like at that moment.

What hollywood hunk makes you drool?

Well, most of the new crop of male stars are to... how should I say this? They're too small and pretty for my tastes. I'd rather have a man with strong, unconventional looks than with a pretty face and too thin physique. Going on looks alone (which I hate to do, but I don't actually know any movie stars personally), I prefer builds like Vin Diesel and John Cena.

What is one thing that your fans would be shocked to know?

Um... I think the answer I gave above might do that. ;-) Other than that, I'm a very picky eater. I don't like most vegetables. At least, not cooked ones. I eat a lot of fresh greens, but I hate brocolli, green beans, asparagus, carrots, canned peas and corn, etc... And I don't eat much red meat, unless it's in a burger. How's that for shocking? ;-)

I'm afraid that's as weird as I get. ;-)

Thanks for having me!

Review: Dion Roy CD

Dion's Gallery album came out in June of this year and his music has been compared to Ryan Adams, Pete Yorn and Snow Patrol. He wrote and performed his own music. He was born in Namibia but grew up in South Africa and now resides in New Jersey.

Alonso Dominguez, the editor of A Small World Magazine said "his sound is a fresh twist on the songwriter genre".

Lindsay Klein is a DJ for WHDA 105.5 FM and she said "in an era of computers and technology Dion awakens my ears with his raw and natural talent".

This CD has a soft sound that is great for a calming feeling without being boring. I love listening to Dion Roy while I'm surfing the internet. My advice is to visit his site and listen to the first few minutes of a song. If it sounds like something you would enjoy listening to, then I recommend you buy it. His songs all have a similar feel to them, so if you like one, you will more than likely like them all.

Check out Dion's music on his website here.

Thank you to Alyson Campbell from AMP3 Public Relations for sending me this CD to review.
