In celebration of finishing up White Hellebore before sending it to my editor, I thought I would have my readers and friends help to name the super villain in the story.
For those who have read Black Hellebore know the super villain is Skull Krusher. In White Hellebore, the super villain starts out as a genius scientist who has good intentions but things don't quite go as Hunter Walter planned and now he has extra, super strong limbs and periods where he black outs and another side of him surfaces.
Any ideas for the super villain name? Whichever name I choose, the winner will be mentioned in the acknowledgements of the story AND will win a print copy of Black Hellebore when it's available. Feel free to list as many names as you can think of!

Truth or Lie with Crystal Collier, Author of Moonless, and a Giveaway!
Today I want to introduce Crystal Collier's debut novel, Moonless. We're going to play the Truth or Lie game, and you have a chance to win her book!
Alexia’s nightmares become reality: a dead baron, red-eyed wraiths, and forbidden love with a man hunted by these creatures. After an attack close to home, Alexia realizes she cannot keep one foot in her old life and one in this new world. To protect her family she must either be sold into a loveless marriage, or escape with her beloved and risk becoming one of the Soulless. MOONLESS is Jane Eyre meets Supernatural.
"MOONLESS is powerful, compelling, and packed with soul." --Bethany Kaczmarek, editor at A Little Red, Inc.
"I fell head
over heels for the characters. The story itself was magnificent and the way
Crystal writes is beyond that." --TC Mckee, acquiring editor at BookFish Books
"The mystery is dense and pulsating... Power-packed action, heart stopping mystery, unpredictable twists and turns..." --Review on I Am a Reader Not a Writer
Crystal gave me two truths and one lie to test your "lie detector" skills. Can you figure out the lie? Those who do will be entered in a random drawing to win one of three ebooks of MOONLESS. How cool is that? You have until November 30, at 11:59 p.m. to guess--and be sure to come back for the answer and winner announcement on December 6th!
TRUTH OR LIE
1. Crystal comes from a family of ten.
2. She gave birth to kid #3 in NYC. (And let us never speak of
it again.)
3. Crystal is married to a man who has a disease name after him
Okay human lie detectors, which is the lie? Enter your guess below!
Crystal Collier, author of MOONLESS, is a former composer/writer for Black Diamond Productions. She can be found practicing her brother-induced ninja skills while teaching children or madly typing about fantastic and impossible creatures. She has lived from coast to coast and now calls Florida home with her creative husband, three littles, and “friend” (a.k.a. the zombie locked in her closet). Secretly, she dreams of world domination and a bottomless supply of cheese. You can find her on her blog and Facebook, or follow her on Twitter.
AND you have one more chance to win!

Crossroads by Jonathan Lister - Giveaway
Werewolf. Bar bouncer. Dad. Standard traits for any self-respecting, reformed criminal, living under the radar in Demos City. For Leon Gray, normal is what he wants — for himself and his not-yet-changed teenage daughter.
Playing bodyguard to crusading reporter David Hastings would totally ruin Leon’s peace, especially since Hastings has hired killers on his trail, pros who know how he takes his espresso in the morning, and where Leon lives.
The payoff, though, would fill up Shauna’s empty college fund, and in a battle between opportunity and ordinary, money wins. He just has to keep Hastings alive long enough to cash the check.
If only he didn’t have to save his daughter, too.
As a budding wolf, she’s piqued the interest of a local pack Alpha — one Leon knows will steal Shauna right out from under him the first chance he gets.
Leon isn’t about to give up on his daughter or Hastings, and will fight for both longer than it took Demos City to see werewolves as equals to humans.
He can only hope it doesn’t take a thousand years.

Masked Love - Regency Holiday Romance Only .99!
I just love this cover. Can't stop staring at it. Definitely swoon worthy!
Isabelle is content being a maid, and will do anything for her lady, even accompany her to a masquerade ball. Lady Theodosia needs extra support and encouragement on this night, for tomorrow she will meet the man her parents have pledged her to.
Isabelle has never had occasion to attend such an event, and is at first ill at ease. But meeting an enchanting young man during the course of the evening makes her wish for a life she can never have. Thinking she will never see him again, she returns his flirtation and even reveals her face. Imagine her shock when he shows up the next morning, announcing his claim on Lady Thedosia.
Isabelle does all she can to avoid Lord Adrian Wingave, but then he not only sees her, he recognizes her. To make matters worse, Isabelle fears her feelings are not one-sided.
Torn between duty and desire, Isabelle hopes for something more this Christmas.
Early reviews:
I don't usually read historicals, but I'm so glad I had the chance to read Masked Love. I read this in just a few hours, as it's a short romance. Set in the Regency Era, I felt like I was reading about Jane Austen, Lizzy Bennett or Emma...Centered around the holidays, Masked Love is a heart-warming, quick read with the joys of Christmas and love around every corner. Don't miss this read!
Melinda Dozier
Nicole Zoltack spins a wonderfully romantic tale of star-crossed lovers in this holiday release. You'll be turning pages to see if Adrian and Isabelle will get their happy-ever-after, or will Adrian be forced to honor a contract made when he was but a child. Mary Waibel
And head over to Mary's blog. She's kick starting the Masked Love blog tour with a character interview with Isabelle!
I really hope you'll check out Masked Love! It was so fun to write a Christmas romance, and it's only 99 cents. And I'd be so appreciative if you would spread the word about it!
