Contest: Rename Me!

Every good blogger knows when it is time to ask for help. I’m waving my little bitty white flag. I need to rename and rework this blog a bit. I need to broaden my horizons in terms of what I’m reading, but also what I’m writing about. I want to talk about books and kindles, but also games and girls and other geeky like things.

So with that I’m going to redesign and rename. However… creativity is not my strong point. I’m a math nerd! No judging, I’m asking for help. Suggest a new domain name for me if I choose yours you win a signed copy of the first book in Vicki Pettersson’s Signs of the Zodiac Series. Along with that, I’ll offer up a free blog template design (See Mama Kitty Reviews as an example). Graphic Design work would be extra.

It needs to be catchy, available, and fun. I’d love to have Vixen in it somehow but not required. It can not use the word kindle. Just to give you a start, things I’m going to write about:

  • Books (Uf, Sci/Fi, Fantasy, Paranormal Romance…. less erotica than I used to most likely)
  • E-Readers and ebooks
  • Games, video and board possibly
  • Women things.
  • Tech and Geeky topics (phones, software, software design, Apple/Mac issues, Android)
  • My college ramblings
  • Possibly some web design

    So…. give me what you got? I do have something tickling my mind thanks to a twitter friend (VixenViews) but I’m indecisive like #woah. So, comment….. go!

  • Win a Kindle: What team will you be on? Team Werewolf *rawr*!

    I’m on Team Werewolf. Find out more.

    The writing duo of Moira Rogers is kicking off a brand new contest in celebration of the release of their new books, Sanctuary Unbound and Safe Harbor. What is so kick ass about this contest? Its taking place across all of your favorite blogs and YOU could win a brand new Kindle. Check the bottom of this post for more details.

    This will probably not come as a surprise to anyone, but I am declaring myself, Team Werewolf Bootlegger. Why you ask? As if I need to explain. Bree and Donna, of Moira Rogers, happen to write the best damn werewolves I have ever read. They never fail to disappoint me in all the growling dominant ways that matter. But for your sake, I thought I would do a quick list of why werewolves are better than vampires.

    Werewolves are always better than vampires because….
    • They are alive. Yes, blood pumps throughout their body and i mean ALL of their body, if you know what I mean.
    • When they growl, they mean it. Its so natural and authentic goosebumps will pop up along your arms and your body will tingle in all the right places.
    • It is part of a werewolf’s nature to protect you and the family, you will always feel safe.
    • Want to go out shopping at 2 in the afternoon? Have no fear, your werewolf will be there hold your purse while you pop into the dressing room to try something on. No pesky sun allergy to deal with. (As a side note, this also means afternoon sexy time is possible…bow chicca bow wow)
    • Werewolves eat real food, not blood. Why is this important? First, drinking blood is gross. Second, It means they can make you breakfast… I am thinking waffles. Bonus points if you get the werewolf to make you waffles but you never get around to eating them because he is too damn sexy to not jump upon and have your evil ways with, on the kitchen floor. Yes Derek…. this one is dedicated to you.
    • If you ever get cold, your shifter can simply change to wolf and cuddle up with you for hours of warmth and fuzziness.
    • Werewolves have super strength, I am going to assume super stamina has to go along with this….Stamina is important ladies
    • If your particular werewolf is a bootlegger….. you get free booze. +10

    Now for a few of my favorite Moira Rogers werewolf quotes…. as if you need further proof:

    Connor

    The voice in his head protested. He ignored it and reached into her pocket, plucking out her key. He held it in front of her as he bent close to her ear. “Do you want to go upstairs with one of them, or with someone who knows what the geeky slogan on your T-shirt means?”

    She leaned into his caressing fingers with a soft noise of pleasure. “A hunky brilliant techie werewolf with a dirty mind…” I’m in love. “That’s pretty much the hottest thing ever.”

    Zack

    When Zack didn’t thrust all the way into her, she growled and whipped her head around, not bothering to stop the giddy flood of power that spilled from her along with her challenging words. “I can take anything you can give me, so fuck me already.”
    He tugged her head back with a low growl and slapped her ass with his other hand. “If you ask nicely.”

    Derek

    One hand dropped to her ankle, and his large fingers encircled it easily. “Tell me to stop.”

    She couldn’t. She wouldn’t. “No.”

    Derek dragged her ankles apart and dropped to his knees between her legs. He tickled his fingers up her calves as he jerked his gaze to hers again. “Put your hands over your head.”

    Sheer primal instinct drove her to obey.

    What team are you on?
