Seven 11 Blog Hop & GIVEAWAYS!!

Posted in 7-11 Blog Hop by JustineWinter

Happy October! It’s my favourite month of the year, and the blog hop returns for its new 2.0 updated version. What does that mean? Well, there are a few changes. Firstly, it’s now a quarterly hop. Before you get all sad that our snippets are less frequent, we’re actually bringing a whole new lot of fun in the way of giveaways. Every author in this month’s hop will be offering their own giveaway. Scroll down below to find out what!

So, what teaser do I have for you all this time? Well, how about 7 lines from Warrior’s Duty, Nature’s Destiny 4? I know many of you are anxiously awaiting this one, and I’m sorry I don’t have a date for you yet, but I’m working really hard on making this one the big finale. Here goes. . .

I wasn’t going to watch Riley, Nick or Shane collapse next to me; I wouldn’t allow that.

Breathing heavily, I tucked in my legs, getting the grip I knew I needed for what was about to come next.

Clenching my teeth, I grabbed onto the hell beast’s large paw that held me down and slowly lifted until the gap was large enough for me to escape.

I rolled away, but I was unfit for anything else. My body was becoming paralysingly numb. I remained on my side, dragging myself until all feeling had left.

This was it. The demons were going to win.

Seven 11 Blog Hop

Posted in 7-11 Blog Hop by JustineWinter

I’ve been staring at the screen for hours, trying to determine the best opening line for this blog post, but my brain is frazzled, dead to any and all words. I’m a blank dictionary hiding in the burnt out corner, hoping for lexis to come flooding back to me. It’s exhausting, isn’t it? Trying to find the right thing to say when you’re mentally drained. I think I need a power nap, or something a little longer. Is it too early in the year to go into hibernation?

This month I have a treat for you all. While I’m suffering with airhead syndrome, it hasn’t escaped my attention that a lot of you are anticipating the fourth and final book in the Nature’s Destiny series. As it’s the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY for this hop, I’m going to share with you the first few lines of the novel. I’m in the very early stages of creating this one, but I’m still aiming for a release this year. Please bear with me!

“It’s all my fault.” I stared at nothing, blind to the gravestone I knew was in front of me. The rain catapulted from the sky, splashing down on the ground around me.

“You’re gone, and it’s all my fault.” I sobbed into my cold hands, my body heaving with motion. I cried harder, my throat sore from the lump that had been building with each tear.

Water dripped from my hair and face on to my already soaked clothes. I was drenched to the bone, my arse numb from sitting in the middle of the pack’s lonely graveyard for hours. My burden, my despair had brought me here.

“I tried, Lara. I tried so fucking hard to get to you!”

Seven 11 Blog Hop

Posted in 7-11 Blog Hop by JustineWinter

Bloody hell! I almost forgot to type this month’s teaser, and I know that would’ve been devastating. Right? Anyway, now that I’ve remembered, how about a little less chit chat and a little more show and tell. I got you covered. Next month I intend to release all 3 parts of my werewolf serial, Alpha Wanted, a week apart from one another. So, how about a teaser from part 1? Alrightey then!

“It was a mistake,” I forced out of my mouth. Even hearing the words out loud turned my stomach against me.

“Sure didn’t feel like a mistake when you were moaning into my mouth.”

I turned to Ryker, fixing my glare on his rugged face. I hated how easy it was for me to lose control around him, to lose all my inhibitions inside the pools of his blue eyes. I tightened my lips together. “It won’t be happening again,” I promised, keeping my grip firm on the steering wheel.

“Princess, that was the best mistake I’ve ever made. So you can trust me when I say I intend to do it again. I’ll make sure I’ll never learn my lesson.”

I’m a mixture of excitement and nerves to find out the response to this serial as it’s something I haven’t done before. But, you know what? No great accomplishment was achieved without a little risk taking. So I’m diving in head first. It’s also the closest I’ve come to writing a crime/mystery type of book within the boundaries of paranormal/supernatural goodness. Of course. What’s a little crime solving without a hunky wolf? So be on the lookout for cover reveals/blurbs etc in the next couple of weeks. Yay!

As always there’s many brilliantly talented authors participating on the hop, so be sure to check them out. And GIVEAWAYS! So here’s what’s what this month:

Heather Hildenbrand has a custom Dirty Blood Mug up for grabs! Enter here.
Bethany Lopez has 8 weeks up for grabs on goodreads. Enter here.

Also it’s an exciting month for book releases!
Today, Heather Hildenbrand’s Broken Blood, book 5 in the Dirty Blood series comes out!
Steph Nuss is releasing Pleasured By You on March 20th.
Kayla Smith is releasing The Sacrifice on March 31st.

Congratulations, ladies!

Seven 11 Blog Hop

Posted in 7-11 Blog Hop, Guardians Dynasty, Writing by JustineWinter

Blimey! My days are so busy melding into one another that if it wasn’t for an email late last night I’d have forgotten that today is in fact the 11th October. You know, that time of the month when I, amongst others, share 7 lines of our WIP. Here’s what I have to offer today from Guardians Dynasty (Nature’s Destiny #3). Oh, and before I forget there’s some great giveaways going this month that you’ll want to check out, too. 😉

I faced the burning ashes of the land I once called home, dying with every breath that left my body. Black was all that remained for my vision had lost its affinity to colour. The creatures brought an indefinite darkness that was only ever highlighted by the raging red of fire. The sun no longer existed, replaced by the moon for the people to suffer. Skin grew paler, death came quicker

My wolf and I missed those of our kind, for the companionship only a wolf could provide, for the ties of a family bond, for the purpose of a pack.

It was at such a time as this when I was at my nose-to-the-floor weakest, when an angel appeared from the sky.

Giveaways:

Heather Hildenbrand is offering 4 signed paperback copies of her Dirty Blood series & a LIVE Q&A on 5th Nov! Enter here.

Bethany Lopez is offering an eBook of the Stories About Melissa books 1-4 collection. Enter here.
