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?

I recently declared the writing team of Moira Rogers to be my favorite author discovery of 2009. The Southern Arcana series flawlessly blends smart, witty, and sexy characters with dangerous and captivating plots. Jackson will win your heart in Crux with his smooth Southern charm while Derek takes your breath away with his strength and passion in Crossroads.

I am happy and honored to announce that the Donna and Bree, the dynamic duo also known as Moira Rogers, will be making an appearance for an interview here at KindleVixen on the release day for Crossroads, February 9th. Even more exciting than the chance to pick the brain of Moira Rogers? The chance to win an ebook copy of Crux! That’s right, in celebration of the release of Crossroads Moira Rogers is giving away a copy of Crux in the ebook format of your choice.

Good luck and please feel free to leave questions in the comments if you have them!

Contest ends Monday, January 25th

In the interest of helping to spread the e-reader love, even if it isn’t a Kindle(!), I wanted to share a few contests I have found for e-readers. First, an awesome contest Anya Bast and Lauren Dane are hosting.

Next, The Bibliophilic Blog is giving away an e-reader of your choice!

Don’t forget to enter my own contest to win a copy of Rachel Caine’s Ill Wind here.

Well I love a good contest and I want to start the new year off with a bang! According to my poll, many of you have not experienced the wonder that is the Weather Warden series by Rachel Caine. So…. now you are going to get your chance! I am giving away one copy of book 1, Ill Wind. The Weather Warden series is packed with action and great characters. The stories are based on a supernatural concept unlike anything else I have read so far in urban fantasy. Not to mention the leading man, David, is big slice of sexy pie.

First in the new Weather Warden series… Joanne Baldwin is a Weather Warden. Usually, all it takes is a wave of her hand to tame the most violent weather. But now, she’s trying to outrun another kind of storm: accusations of corruption and murder. So, she’s resorting to the very human tactic of running for her life… Her only hope is Lewis, the most powerful warden known. Unfortunately, he’s stolen not one but three bottles of Djinn-making him the most wanted man on earth. Still, she’s racing hard to find him-before the bad weather closes in fast…

To get your chance to win, all you have to do is leave a comment and let me know what your resolution for the new year is! Contest ends Saturday Jan. 9th.

My new year’s resolution : plan my schedule and stick to it. I am great at organizing…. I just seem to lack the follow through. Taking 15 college credits this next semester on top of being a mom, president of a preschool co-op, and book blogging is going to be a challenge if I continue to run around with my head cut off!
