Souls Around the World Blog Hop

October...fall...candy corn and jack-o-lanterns, candy apples and popcorn balls, crisp leaves raked up in piles, pulling jackets out of the closet for the first time, these are just some of the things I think of when October rolls around. Of course, I also think of all the things that go bump in the night. I have always been a scared-y cat when it comes to horror. I could never read the oh-so-popular R.L. Stine's Goosebumps series growing up, and as an adult, you will not find me reading Stephen King. I've been known to leave a Halloween party when Freddy Kruger or Jason show up to play, and I still to this day refuse to sleep with closet doors open for fear that Chuckie will jump out and get me. Yes, I am the original scared-y cat.

That being said, I love, love, love the paranormal world. Vampires and weres, fae and witches, warlocks and demons, yes, yes, yes! When written brilliantly, these can be some of the sexiest beings in the world of fiction. That's right. I'm biased. I'm a paranormal romance/erotica whore. I admit it. But really, who can blame me? And the month of October is the best time to indulge in these fantasies, because this is when the line between the paranormal world and reality is most blurred. So take some time out this month for yourself, and indulge in your favorite fantasy!

For this Blog Hop, I am excited to join authors Ashley Nemer and L.S. Broomfield, along with a host of other authors and blogs, to bring you two amazing giveaways. Both giveaways are open to US, Canada, UK, NZ, Australia, Romania and South Africa residence. Winners will be selected on November 1st.

1. The first giveaway is the Grand Prize Giveaway - a Sony Touch eReader pre-loaded with ebooks that are sure to keep you up at night turning pages. Entering is easy - simply follow the Rafflecopter instructions below.

2. The second giveaway is from me here at Reading Lark After Dark. I've decided to do something a little different this time. Instead of giving away one of my favorite books like I normally do, I've decided to go with a book I haven't read yet by one of my favorite Paranormal Romance/Erotica authors - In the Company of Witches, by Joey W. Hill, and after reading the synopsis, I can't wait to read it myself! To enter, simply make sure that you are a RLAD follower and leave a comment on this post telling me if you are a new or a loyal follower and what your favorite thing is about this Blog Hop. Comments will be assigned numbers and chosen randomly using random.org.
