Gregori Celebrates My Birthday

Happy Tuesday All,

****CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED****

In honor of my birthday (that was on Oct. 15th) I am doing TWO give aways! The FIRST one is TODAY! 

Today's give away is a copy of Kerrelyn Sparks' Sexiest Vampire Alive. Kerrelyn, being the awesome person that she is, has agreed to give a signed copy of the novel to ONE lucky commenter on my blog.

Here's how it's going to work and please read all instructions CAREFULLY. ONE entry PER person:

If you choose to email in your entry:

Email to this email ONLYYour email should state who your favorite vampire is. And no, it does NOT have to be one of Kerrelyn Sparks' characters, but that would be really cool if you DID mention one of hers.

If you choose to enter by commenting on my blog:

Leave your FIRST name, email address, and what vampire is your favorite. It can be ANY vampire--but like I said, it would be really cool if you mention a Kerrelyn Sparks' vampire.

You don't know Kerrelyn Sparks' vampire? Well just go here to her book list and have a look-see. Or mention a vampire you particularly like.

Contest will close at 11:00 p.m. Central Time today (October 18th).

Questions or comments, please email me at this email address.

Thank you, Gregori & Kerrelyn for helping me celebrate my birthday!

EDIT (11:55 a.m.):  Please note that ALL comments go through moderation from me before they are published. I'm receiving some double posts. Posts don't appear on my comment section UNTIL they are approved. Sorry for the confusion!

Have A Thrilling Tuesday!

Happy Birthday Bethany! Hope you have an awesome day. By far, the most sexiest vampire is Roman. If I remember correctly, he's from Kerrelyn's How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire, which is my favorite book of hers.
Hello Kerrelyn!

Judy,

I need your email address.

Roman is a good choice! I like him myself--but Gregori's always been my favorite. I love him and Phineas.

Thanks for dropping by and please get me your email address so that I can have you entered :-)
Bethany said…
Judy,

Never mind! I got your email. Thank you :-)

Has to be Connor in Vampire Mine,,having read all the books so far genus the one that sticks in my mind, troubled and dark and brooding and oh yeah sexy as hell.

Hmm, the sexiest vampire ever? That's a really hard thing to ask of a Sparks fan. I guess I would have to say that my sexiest vampire is either Jean-Luc or Jack (sorry for the tie). I love Jean-Luc because he is probably the most honorable hard-headed man ever. And Jack always trys to be Casanova, it fails, and his own bit of charm can always come out!
Kelly said…
Hi Bethany,
Nice to meet you and happy Birthday! Do I have to pick a favorite?! I really like them all ever since I started reading the series! Thou I do admit I kind of hope Kerrelyn will release Phineas's story soon as I can't wait to see what kind of girl he'd hook up with thou I thought he might hook up with Olivia's friend at one point.
Thanks, Kelly

Happy Birthday, It's alittle late but I hope you had a Fabulous day. I personally, liked Roman as my fav. He was sexy, nerdy smart, tough, and a real looker from the descripitions, I wouldn't mind having one just like him. That was a great book as well as the entire series can't wait to read more.
Happy reading

My name is Kari; sawers.kari@gmail.com

I have several favorites from different authors but the one that makes me stop and say 'really' is LASZLO. He is so nerves and almost afraid of vampires, it's hard to believe he is a vampire.
Other wise DR. LOVE, he talks about being a womans man but never has any women, can't wait for his book to come out and he finally gets a woman, lol.
I love the Love at Stake series and Kerrelyn Rocks! I have a special place in my heart for all her sexy vamp hotties but my all time favorite is Jean-Luc from the Undead Next Door! He could whisper french love words in my ear all night long! *swoon* Thanks for sharing with us!

I would have to say that my favorite vampire is Connor, although Jack is a close second. He just can't compete with the accent and the kilt.

Jack is my favorite. His personality was a huge draw--so much that I immediately re-read his book after I finished it. Sigh.... They are all wonderful to read, but he just stuck out in my mind.
Have a great birthday, Bethany!

I have always loved the comic relief of Phineas, but Vanda has a real place in my heart. She is such a strong female who has overcome a lot. I love the guys, but you gotta admire the strength of the ladies.

Happy Birthday!

WOW! There's A LOT of entries...unfortunately I don't have time to answer every single one...HOWEVER ANY entry that is PUBLISHED in this comment section I HAVE viewed and approved (all comments are moderated by me before they're approved--I've done this because some people were having trouble posting on here, so I thought if I changed things maybe it wouldn't be so hard for folks to post).

THANK YOU SO MUCH for ALL the birthday wishes--I especially loved Teresa K. singing to me--LOL I avoided people singing at a party I attended, but I was glad to have a little singing THANK YOU.

Also Kari mentioned Laszlo--SO COOL!

Blackwater Mama mentioned "Twilight" Jasper--Awesome, I like him, too.

Several folks have mentioned J.R. Ward...looks like I have some reading to do LOL.

Please note that I did NOT say SEXIEST vampire, just a vampire you like. If you happen to think he's sexy, that's fine, but it's NOT a requirement LOL (I should've made that clear in the post).

There's been some accidentally double-posts I found in moderation, so I won't be posting the double-posts, but I did post the originals.

If you have any questions, email me at bethany.averie@yahoo.com

THANK YOU!!!

Happy B'day! It's the most difficult question. I love all the vampires, Roman, Ian, Robby, Angus, Gregori, Connor and Phineas. It's easier who I don't like Sean Whelan.
I love when Roman went to dentist due to losing his vampire tooth, it's special because it's the first story. But if I have to choose it would be Phineas. I love how he take for credit all the love romances.

Happy Birthday, Bethany. This is my first time here. Like quite a few others I have to say Roman. Maybe it's because that book was one of the first paranormals I ever read; I don't know. I love all her books though.

Stephanie said…
Happy B-Day Bethany! @-}- I hope you've had a fabulous day!

As for my Favorite Vamp, hmmm, Kerrelyn's Roman is all brawny and brainy which is a total turn-on but you can always count on Dr. Phang to bring the funny!! But I also fall for Ashlyn Chase's Sly's protective streak and the quiet way he fell for his lady...lots of vamps to love out there!

Thanks for the contest!

I would have to say my favorite vampire is Claudia from Interview With a Vampire. She's this angelic looking creature but she's pretty evil. Kirsten Dunst did a good job portraying her in the movie of the same name. But my favorite vampire from Kerrelyn's books would be Roman.
cakelady626 said…
Happy Birthday Bethany!! Hi Kerrelyn!! I love Kerrelyn's books so much. My favorite vampire in Kerrelyn's series has to be Connor!! I love me some Scottish Vamps. I loved his story and he so deserved his angel. But.....I have to say my favorite vampire would be Edward Cullen forever and always.

I haven't read any of Kerrelyn's vamp books yet, so I've got to go with one from another of my favorite authors, Shiloh Walker.

Tori McAdams from The Hunters series is my favorite vamp.

Hey Bethany,

I hope you had a lovely day on your birthday! I hope you got spoiled rotten with presents! :D

My name is Michelle Louise Pratley and my email address is:

scottishrose1290@hotmail.com

I would have to say that my favourite vampire would have to be Jean-Luc because he is so charming and romantic. When I look for a guy, I try to find my own Jean-Luc, someone who is sweet, caring, kind, romantic and French!

But I also love how Kerrelyn gets all the Scottish slang right for her Scottish vampires, because I'm Scottish and it's nice to see some Scottish in a book :)

Love,

Hope you had a happy birthay Bethany. My favourite vampire is actually Cain from the Almost Human trilogy, but from this series is the one and only Connor Buchanan!
Beccie said…
Hmm my favorite vampire. That's a hard question but if i had to choose ,and YES it is one of Kerrelyn's, I would pick Angus. I love him he seems so rough and tumble but he's got his tender moments. really all of them are great. Thank you for the opportunity

My favorite vampire is probably Angus. I don't think I ever laughed so hard imagining him swinging upside down with his kilt around his neck. And when he and Emma were trapped by the Malcontents, it was one of the sweetest moments in her books. But my favorite character is Carlos. He just oozes sex appeal. Hope you have an awesome birthday Bethany! Kerrelyn rocks!!

From the Love at Stakes series it would have to be Jack although I love them all. His reactions to Lara were funny, crazy, sexy, disbelieving, a little bit of everything. I have many series that i love and JR Ward is just one other one and I absolutely love Z from that series. Keep the vampire romances coming!

I could never pick just one. Jack was the first one I read of Kerrelyn's, but I also love Ian, Roman and Gregori - really all of them. I also love Bones, Spade and Vlad from the Night Huntress series. J.R. Ward's Rhage, V & Phury. And Lara Adrian's Niko, Dante & Rio.

There's just so many. I told you I couldn't pick just one.

nzfiona said…
First of all, Happy Birthday for the 15th from the Antipodes - Melbourne, Australia, to be exact.

Secondly, my favourite vampire. As the "Love at Stake" series is the only one I've enjoyed since the Anne Rice books some years ago, I'll choose one of Ms. Sparks' characters. That being said, I have to go for....Lazlo. I have a bit of a soft spot for the stammering, shy and button-twirling Vamp who seems to spend most of his time in the science laboratory, helping Roman ease the existence of vampires and mortals alike. I personally cannot resist the science-geeky type, being like that myself.

Again, Happy Birthday!

Dear Bethany,
I hope you had a wonderful birthday.Of course my favorite vampires are from the pen of Kerrelyn Sparks. The problem is picking only one. I would have to say my favorite is Robby MacKay is so courageous and brave and so very noble in The Vampire and The Virgin. I have always been fond of Gregori as well with each book you see another facet of his personality.

Hi Bethany!! I've read every book twice and loved every hero...but Roman is a personal favorite for his brilliant mind and incredible achievements and accomplishments for vamps as well as his integrity. Gregori has a special place for being a total babe as well as being "bottle" fed.my email is gildamarysacca@yahoo.com

Thank you for this contest! My favorite vampires are obviously from Kerrelyn's books. I have read them all! But my most fav one is Constantine--son of Roman and Sahanna! He is too cute and sweet.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Bethany!! XD Well, so far for me my favorite vampires are all in Kerrelyn Sparks books, but the one I like the most is Gregori because he's really lightens up the mood. I love it when he says "I'm too sexy for my cape, too sexy for my fangs..." LOL! second place is Roman since I like his dedication to keeps us mortals alive, "God's Blood"

P.S. since it's your Bithday make sure people are kneeling before! ;)

Hey everybody,

More entries have been posted. There have been several entries by email, too.

Thank you once again for all the birthday wishes. I did have a really good birthday (in fact, that's the day I attended the Lone Star Writers' Conference--I had a fantastic time there--I'll be posting about it this week with pictures!!)

Anyway, there's still 3 hours left to enter, so I'll be checking in later.

BTW--LOVE that someone mentioned Constantine. Unfortunately, he's not strictly a vampire, but I accepted the entry. So, no disqualification there, since it's a technicality.

Enjoy the rest of the give away day everyone :-)

I really can't choose who of them but I think it's "Roman Draganesti" he's so damn gorgeous for me. He is from "How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire" by of course Kerrelyn Sparks. I love you Kerrelyn.

Thanks Bethany, more power to your blog.

Get Thee A Nom De Plume!

Good Evening One & All, Shakespeare wrote in Romeo & Juliet, "What's in a name?...A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Disney talked about names in Aladdin in the lyrics, "Better get a nom de plume ." (the song, "One Jump"). So, for a writer, what does a nom de plume (or, pen name) say about the author? It could be a different spelling of the author's name, it could be a name that has a significance. They could keep their first name, but change the last, or change both. A pen name is also the name a writer will write under for his or her books. The name that his or her readers will recognize them. The name on the autographs and the one where people will say, "Oh yes, that's so and so, they wrote..." Some authors write under their own names. Others, for a variety of reasons, choose a pen name. What about you? Are you considering a pen name? What have you looked at when thinking of your nom de plume ? For myself, I&
