Today is the start of Crystal Collier's awesome Moonless Release/Valentine's Blog Hop. Isn't the banner pretty? She's celebrating by doing a huge giveaway of the books above, so make sure to enter the Rafflecopter below. My novella, Model Position is the one on the right.
Here's a teaser about Moonless:
In the English society of 1768
where women are bred to marry, unattractive Alexia, just sixteen, believes she
will end up alone. But on the county doorstep of a neighbor’s estate, she meets
a man straight out of her nightmares, one whose blue eyes threaten to consume
her whole world—especially when she discovers him standing over her murdered
host in the middle of the night.
Her nightmares become reality: a dead baron, red-eyed wraiths, and
forbidden love with a man hunted by these creatures. After an attack close to
home, Alexia realizes she cannot keep one foot in her old life and one in this
new world. To protect her family she must either be sold into a loveless
marriage, or escape with her beloved and risk becoming one of the Soulless.
Valentines blog hop question: If you lived in a society where arranged
marriages were a la mode, who would you beg your parents to set you up with? Why?
For me, smart is sexy, and I've had a crush on... wait for it... Niels Bohr for a while. Who the heck is he? He was a Nobel Prize-winning physicist (won it in 1922) known for discovering how quantum theory applies to atoms: that electrons move inside atoms in orbits, and that they can "leap" from one to another orbit. Also, that they travel both as particles and waves at the same time. I know, sci-fi, huh? That's what I LOVE about theoretical physics. Plus, the guy was handsome. So, I totally would've tried to talk my parents into meeting him--we would've had to travel to his native Denmark, and I'd have to have met him before his wife did (hehhe). Want to see a picture? 'Course you do.

Here's a cool Bohr quote: "When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images."
Who would you have begged your parents to set you up with in an alternate universe?
