Thank you so much for having me here at Book Faery. I’m so excited to reveal my cover and to announce the exciting new contest I’m sponsoring.

First let’s do the reveal.

I’ll admit I became a bit breathless when I first saw this cover. So much smooth back and muscle that needed my caressing. But, I can’t take credit for this eye-candy. Heather Howland at Entangled Publishing created what I like to refer to as my afternoon pick-me-up.

Kiss of the Betrayer is book two in my Bringer and the Bane series. This story revolves around Luc and Jade, two secondary characters from book one, Shield of Fire (Tori: You can check it out on Goodreads here!). Their relationship is tumultuous at best and they get in a lot of trouble when they decide to keep secrets from the rest of the Bringers.

Now onto the contest.

Be part of my next book, Kiss of the Betrayer, by entering the Name the Character Contest.

Rules: Read the character description and come up with a clever name. You can submit just a first name, just a last name, or both.

How to Enter: You may enter five ways.

Private Life: Poor, Single mother with three children, 12, 4, and five months.

Less Redeeming Qualities: Stubborn, too curious for her own good, has associations with a lot of unsavory people.

Okay people, name that character. I can’t wait to see the entries start rolling in.

Boone has lived in the beautiful state of Alaska for nearly two decades. She spent many of those years in the bush, where the internet and flush toilets were a luxury. Boone’s motto? “Have laptop, will travel.” It’s not uncommon to see her pounding away at her computer during camping trips, fishing expeditions, or in their family plane as they fly over the open tundra.
