It’s Sunday and We have Winners!

Sorry it took me so long to post the winner to the writing contest, kids, but my eye has been bothering me lately (damn you, alien growth!), so I decided to stay away from the intertubes for a couple of days. And the winner is…

Shannon, with this deliciously wicked entry:

A light tap jerked Amy’s attention away from her growing rage at what was clearly her tampered with, refusing to start car. She turned, ready to rip into whoever it was…and stared.

White-blond hair in casual disarray, strands falling across a disturbingly ageless face marked only by a thin scar dragging across his cheekbone. Luscious lips were curved into a faint smile, and the look in his unusually dark eyes was taunting. Daring her to do something.

Not that she would. She listened to her instincts, and she didn’t need the long look to know that for all his slender build, this man was more than capable of doing anything he wanted. It was the way he leaned against her car, arms crossed, head cocked, poised and still, a snake about to strike, clinging to the shadows even in the lights overhead.

Against her better judgment she stared. Because everything about him seemed to invite it, even as a subtle something told her to run. Long legs crossed in front of him, encased in tight jeans that she couldn’t resist following up with her eyes, her breath catching when she hit just below that low waistband.

The sheen of the knife there sparked her recognition.

Amy tried to look for an escape, but all she could see was him as he slowly uncoiled, overwhelming her senses as he stepped toward her, adrenaline heating her body as cool fingers brushed over her skin.

“I know you.” Her voice trembled, faded. “You’re…”

“I wish,” He sighed, more beautiful than the police sketch had been able to capture. “I wish that you didn’t.” His voice wrapped around her, hands clamping down, moving faster than she could react, pinning her to the hard length of his body. “I really hoped it could be different.” One hand fastened her mouth closed.

Then she was being dragged into the shadows in the arms of a killer.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Email me so we can get you all squared out with the Amazon bux and your very own copy of Boundless. Woo-hoo.

And the winner of Shiloh Walker’s contest is… Katelyn! Girl, Email me and we’ll get you your prize. Mind you, I have no idea what it is, so… have fun with whatever it is. Ha ha. Just kidding, Shi is a good egg.

Oh, and I’d like to thank this opportunity to thank our guest authors of the week: Shiloh Walker, Chris Marie Green, and Jeri Smith Ready. Y’all were brilliant.

Who’s next? Are you an author and you’ve got a promo? Do you just have some burning urge to say something? Email me and we’ll see if we can put you on the schedule. DO IT FAST for I won’t have any spots left very, very soon. Thanks again!

    The finalists for the contest were all amazing. You’ve got some talented authors visiting, Bam. I hope they all eventually become books that I get to read!

    Congrats Shannon and Katelyn!

    Shannon, you can’t just leaves us hanging like that! I demand the rest of the story, too! lol.

    What happens to Amy?? Is she really killed or does the killer magically fall in love with her and spares her life but then he’s caught by the police and Amy wants to rescue him then all this chaos insues then they live happily ever after on some foreign country.

    Um..don’t let my imagination run away from me, here! you just had a special glimpse into what it would come up here. Dangerously cheesy, don’t you think? Crap!

    I’m just kidding. :)

    Oh man, the rest of the story…

    As of this minute I have the piece I posted here and two random scenes written. It was a complete flying by the seat of my pants deal, but I just cant get it out of my head so it is definitely going somewhere…

    If people are really interested I can put up a link to the one thing from the killers POV that I put online.

    Mkay, here’s the two things I’ve written so far. I’m just playing around with the characters, so they’re really just glorified one shots at this point.

    Erik’s POV: http://dreamtides.deviantart.c.....n-64694283

    Amy’s POV: http://dreamtides.deviantart.c.....e-65097507

    Hope you like them!
