A Halloween-Themed Birthday Giveaway

I love October.  October brings cooler temperatures, colorful leaves, Halloween costumes, and MY BIRTHDAY.  Yep, I'm officially another year old today and I'm giving away some presents to you.  That's a pretty good deal in my opinion. 

Help me celebrate my birthday by entering my giveaway!  What's up for grabs?  I am giving away a copy of ANGEL'S INK, the first novel in my Asylum Tales series about magical tattoos, warlocks, elves, trolls, werewolves, and the grim reaper.  You can win either a Kindle or Nook copy of ANGEL'S INK or I can mail you a signed copy (US only for this contest).

BUYER BEWARE...

Looking for a tattoo -- and maybe a little something extra: a burst of good luck, a dollop of love, or even a hex on an ex?  Head to the quiet and mysterious Gage, the best skin artist in town.  Using his unique potions -- a blend of extraordinary ingredients and special inks -- to etch the right symbol, he can fulfill any heart's desire.  But in a place like Low Town, where elves, faeries, trolls, werewolves, and vampires happily walk among humanity, everything has a price.

No one knows that better than Gage.  Turning his back on his own kind, he left the magical Ivory Towers where cruel witches and warlocks rule, a decision that cost him his right to practice magic.  If he disobeys, his punishment -- execution -- will be swift.
 
Though he's tried to fly under the radar, Gage can't hide from powerful warlocks who want him dead -- or the secrets of his own past.  But with the help of his friends, Trixie, a gorgeous elf who hides her true identity, and a hulking troll named Bronx, Gage just might make it through this enchanted world alive. 

 

 

To add to the fun, I am also giving away 3 copies of the Halloween-themed anthology BLOOD BY MOONLIGHT.  You can win a Kindle, Nook, or print copy (US only contest).

 

 

Blood by Moonlight

Just in time for the scariest season of all, three popular paranormal authors come together to tell original tales of romance where anything can happen under a Halloween moon . . .

 

Tempers flare and passions rise in Jocelynn Drake's Of Monsters and Men as the local werewolf pack clashes with the Winter Court's Wild Hunt . . .

 

In Terri Garey's The Ghoul Next Door, a witch and a warlock battle it out for possession of a haunted house, but the ghost may have her own agenda . . .

 

And, in Trick or Treathen by Caris Roane, a master vampire struggles to stay away from the mortal woman who enflames his very soul.

 

I will pick and announce the winners on Thursday, October 10.  What do you have to do to win one of these awesome books?  Leave me a comment telling me: If you could dress up as anything or anyone for Halloween, what would your costume be?

Bubble Bubble Toil and Trouble

Can the right tattoo help you get your dream job?  Can the right tattoo bring you love?  Can the right tattoo bring you good luck, fame, or revenge?

In Low Town, it can.  Stop by Asylum Tattoo and Potion Parlor and schedule an appointment with Gage, Trixie, or Bronx.  A quick potion and a little ink, and you can be one step closer to your dreams.

**DISCLAIMER: Asylum does not guarantee the results of any potion placed in a tattoo.  The tattoo artist cannot be held responsible for any negative or unexpected potion reactions if the client fails to inform the artist of any prior potions that may have been used.  Humans under the age of 18 and elves under the age of 50 cannot be tattooed without the presence and signed approval of a legal guardian.  All tattoo artists have been tested and licensed through the Tattoo Artists and Potion Stirrers Society (TAPSS).  Management retains the right to deny any customer service and can throw your ass out the door if you're a crybaby in the chair**

Asylum is owned and operated by Gage Powell.  While Gage has established himself as one of the top tattoo artists in Low Town and in the industry, he's got a secret that he's struggling to keep a lid on.  You see, Gage is a former warlock-in-training.  And while it might sound like fun having magic at your fingertips, Gage is praying the people of Low Town don't find out.  Witches and warlocks are widely hated among the people of the world and Gage is hoping not to be hunted down for something that is little more than an accident of birth.

With help from his friends and coworkers Bronx and Trixie, Gage reveals his highly developed skill at getting into trouble.  Want proof?

Bio:

Love comes in many varied forms.  There is the love of family, love of country, and love of chocolate.  But for Jocelynn Drake, one truly treasured love is the love of a good story.  This Midwestern native spends the majority of her time lost in the strong embrace of a good book.  When she’s not hammering away at her keyboard, frowning at her monitor, or curled up with a book, she can usually be found cuddling with her cat Demona, walking her dog Max, or flinging curses at the TV while playing a video game.  Outside of books, cats, and video games, she is completely enamored of Bruce Wayne, Ezio Auditore, travel, tattoos, explosions, fast cars, and Anthony Bourdain (but only when he’s feeling really cranky).  Jocelynn created the Dark Days series and is now hard at work on the Asylum Tales series.
