I love Brava books. Love them. Long before I started writing for Brava, I was a Brava reader. I got hooked by Shanna McKenna–oh, she pulled me in her wicked, wicked web of wonder. (I’m still addicted to her stories, just so you know…)

I loved Brava stories. They’re sexy and suspenseful, wild and exciting. I can’t get enough of them.

But in addition to the suspenseful reads (which I always enjoy), I also found some hilarious Brava books that hooked me early on. Erin McCarthy wrote some books that were so funny, they made me cry. My husband always looks at me like I’m crazy when I do my cry/laugh routine as I read.

But what about you? Do you have any favorite Bravas that you’d like to share with me? Maybe some oldies and always goodies? Perhaps we have some of the same favorites on our shelves!

Have a great Wednesday.

ANGEL OF DARKNESS–Available now from Kensington Brava
When an angel falls for a vampire, all hell breaks loose…

Update: Thank you all so much for the great comments!! I randomly selected our winner, and that person is…Alaina. Congrats, Alaina! Please email me at cynthia@cynthiaeden.com to claim your prize.

I hope everyone has a fantastic Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Okay, I know it’s not actually Halloween yet, but I won’t be posting on Halloween (some other lucky Brava author will have that date), so I figured I’d better get my Halloween wishes out there while I had the chance.

This year, I’m thinking about being an Angel of Death for Halloween. Ahem, yes, I could be thinking about this costume choice because I’ve seriously got angels on my mind. My first Fallen angel book, ANGEL OF DARKNESS, releases in just over a month (on 11/29/11), and, I’ve just finished writing the fourth tale (that one is called Avenging Angel). So since I’ve been in a writing frenzy, angels have pretty much been on my mind 24/7.

When an angel falls, all hell breaks loose...

And a fallen angel costume would be so easy. All I’d need is a pair of wicked cool black wings. Because in my Fallen books, my death angels all have black wings. I’ll have to check my local party supply store to see if they happen to have those in stock. (Please do, please!)

But if they don’t have the wings, I might just have to come up with a last minute costume plan. Because, come on, we all know that the closer you get to Halloween, well, the slimmer the pickings are when it comes to costume choices.

I could always go as a serial killer, I suppose. Just wear my regular clothes. Cause, you know, I’d be a serial killer on the down low.

Or I could dress as a zombie. Rip up some clothes. Paint my face white, darken my eyes with black circles and get some blood dripping from my lips. I’ve been tuning in to watch lots of THE WALKING DEAD episodes, so I should be able to pull off a semi-passable zombie routine.

Hmmmm…do you have any good last minute costume ideas to share? Or do you have some fabulous costume that you’ve already got picked out (and you want to tell me about it so I can be super jealous!)? Then please share! I’ll pick one commenter to win ANGEL OF DARKNESS (early copy). I’ll leave the contest open until noon on Friday. Good luck!

Update: Thank you for all the great comments. So many reasons for an angel to fall…
I randomly picked two winners, and those winners are: Julie Newberry and Kathy Miller. Congratulations!

Oh, yes, it’s giveaway time. I’ve got 2 Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs) of my December Brava, ANGEL OF DARKNESS, that I want to give away!

Want to win? Then tell me…what do you think could tempt an Angel of Death to fall? What would make him give up heaven in order to face the hell that will be waiting for him on earth? (Yeah, my ANGEL OF DARKNESS hero has to face some drama. What’s life without a little drama?)

This contest will be open until noon Central time on August 25th. Then I’ll select two random winners from all the commenters.

Good luck!

Blurb:

Nicole St. James was a nice woman. An innocent, pretty, twenty-something schoolteacher with her life ahead of her. But as the angel of death, it’s Keenan’s job to take that life away. So when a vampire attacks Nicole, Keenan is not supposed to snap and take out the vampire instead. It cost him his wings–but she’s worth it.

Except when Keenan catches up to his pretty schoolteacher, she’s not so innocent anymore. Hot red lipstick, tight black shorts and long white fangs–she’s ready to kick the asses of anyone who helped turn her into a damn bloodsucker. Unless that ass is unusually shapely and attached to a certain fallen angel. Even with all of heaven and half of hell after them, someone will have to teach Keenan about the fun kinds of sin…

Thanks for checking out my giveaway! Have a great Wednesday!

It’s that time…well, okay, almost that time. My new paranormal romance, NEVER CRY WOLF, will release on 6/28/11. Awesome!

And, to celebrate, I’d like to invite you to a party. On 6/28/11, I’m going to have an all-day release party on my blog. Each hour, there will be new giveaways posted, new authors visiting, and new books to chat about. Folks can comment on individual posts in order to win particular listed giveaways, and at the end of the event, I will go back in and randomly select commenters to win gift certificates. The comments will be left open until noon on 6/29/11 (that way, there will be plenty of time for folks in different time zones to participate). The more times you comment, the more chances you will have to win.

So, grab your party hat and plan to come by my blog. Fun times are a-coming! (And the werewolves are also coming, too, courtesy of NEVER CRY WOLF…)

Many Brava authors are scheduled to participate in the party (thank you, ladies!). If you love Bravas, then this party is for you!

Have a great day! See you on Tuesday!
